Hi all, this is my first time posting outside of the sales forum so I am not sure if this is the right place to seek help.
My Canon 650d unfortunately met the combination of snow and rain in Vancouver and I was not able to protect it quickly enough (did not expect the sudden increase in intensity of precipitation). It stopped working for about a week and it was only during the past few days that I was able to switch it on.
Here's the issue: It would switch on, but if I leave the battery in for a few hours, it would become non-responsive until I remove the battery for another few hours. I have used different batteries with the same results.
I tried googling and could not find a reason for this nor a solution. Is it because the camera still has water residue and I should leave it to dry for a longer time in the dry cabinet?
While I would definitely bring some plastic bags as a temporary rain cover for my other DSLR, I would still like to revive this camera. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
