bought the camera water damaged notice the only things not working are the flashtube and the lcd display took water damaged but only killed the backlight so I replaced it cant find signs of water damage elsewhere any ideas of what to replace next or where backlight is powered from etc?
@danield1497 since this is a water damaged camera it will most likely be an issue with the mother board. Check for any obvious components mossing or charred looking. There should at least be one fuse on the board. Check that one for continuity. Remove the motherboard and clean it with some +90% isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush. Yes, you can submerge it in alcohol to clean it. Post some good images of your motherboard so we can see what you see and possibly find the failed part.
