Good morning and a happy new year to all of you in this sub-section of our society (Cyclists who also read the computer/I.T section)....
I took my little digital camera down to the fettling shed yesterday, to take some pics of my newly shined up cassette/drivetrain.... (I wanted to ask some of the experts here whether I should replace the cassette).
The camera refused to behave. The lens would not emerge from its hidey-hole.
Now, it is not unknown for me to indulge in the odd glass of beer during the 'festive' season, and I am afraid I sometimes do not perform at my absolute peak the following morning, but after a while I am usually back to my sunny, happy and co-operative self. The camera however seems to have taken a more permanent attitude to having been soaked in beer.
As a last (first) resort what should I try? In the aforementioned shed I have GT85 WD40 I.P.A (no, not the beer) and ethanol.
The lens 'tries' to come out, it whirrs and clicks and stirs a little. I have tried hooking a fingernail under the bezel to give it some encouragement, but it seems that there is a 'lock' mechanism which is stuck. Any ideas or advice please folks?
