Einleitung
This particular camera was lost in a storm sewer for a couple of days before it was found by the owner. A brief check by the owner showed no reaction from this camera, it would not turn on or showed any other signs of functioning. Here we start with the LCD, further guides will get deeper into the repair and the cleaning. It is a relative inexpensive camera, and could easily be replaced with a new one, but we felt it would make a useful teaching tool.
