I unfortunately went around with a cano, bringing my FR-1 along down into the dark blue. Not suprisingly, the camera stopped working. I tried with a new battery in a shop, the lightmeter functioned, and I got to take one frame. After that, the camera was dead.
I tried to open it, brush some corrotion of the PCB and looked for errors. Unfortunately, with my strong fists, I bent a spring out of it`s place, and I'm not man enough to put it back in place.
Wow is the spring supposed to be sprung? And how do I place it back into the camera, the 2(4) pins that are sticking out of it?
Furthermore, is the camera completely dead, or is it possible to get it to life, after the water-accident?

Feel free to draw on picture nr. 2, and show me were to put the part that's out.
Best regards

usually, water damaged cameras are best forgotten. |

Ed, I know, but it DID respond (once) when I tried a new battery. Now, I only need to know how to put it together again, so I can try, after my cleanup |

Sometimes what happens is that people put in a better and power the camera up before all the moisture has been completely removed. If you didn't dissasemble the camera and airdry all components, residual moisture may have shorted out the PCB. With working film SLRs going for $20-50 on ebay, I'd just get another one. |
