    I know I probably shouldn't have taken a canoe ride over class II
    rapids, but me and my Kodak DX 6440 did, and you can guess what
    happened.

    So I took battery out and the memory card, trying to dry it out.
    Was surprised a day later when it turned on, light blinked then
    stayed green and lens came out. And yes, there are several pictures
    I took on the memory card. Great. But.

    Even though flash still works, nothing registers on the little
    view screen and when shutter is pressed, flash works great, but no
    picture is shown.

    First thought it to chuck it and replace. However maybe someone
    reading this might have an alternate solution. Any parts that
    could be replaced and cost effectively?

    Get yourself an Olympus Mui series - they are weatherproof.
