Service Center in Mississauga- ON

Hi

Can some one help me with this? I drowned my camera Canon EOS 400D Rebel XTi and a couple of lens in Algonquin yesterday. The camera was in the water for over 20 minutes.

Can the camera be repaired? Also, can someone direct me to a Canon Service Centre in and around Mississauga.

Thank you

For 20 minutes...? I would venture to guess is 100% dead. There are to Canon service centers. One in Irvine,CA and the other one in New Jersey.

Call Canon Canada. There is a service center in Ontario. Electronics can dry out pretty well... who knows? You could try baking it yourself at a low temp (warming oven) and then let it sit for a few days in a very dry place. I think the worst part is that the water probably infiltrated all of the screens which will not dry out so easily.

It may be gone

(Taps plays quietly)

If I recall, it's located at 1400 Courtneypark Dr E. in Mississauga.

Although your story doesn't sound very promising in terms of repairs. Good luck though.

The only few times I heard miraculous salvages in such cases (or involving cell phones) is when the person didn't have the bad idea to turn it on and see if the machine still works. Sometimes the camera might still be ok but turning it on causes a deadly short circuit. So, DO NOT turn it on, remove the battery and the lens (don't cap the hole), and leave it in a dry place for a few days... at this point, you don't care about dust getting it. Later on power it with a dry battery... forget the one you had on.

You may have a very slim chance this way... but overall, it's sad.
