How Long do i wait

I hope that this poster comes to terms with his problems and he has "some".

If he is trying to get a free camera,then he can PM me and I will see what I can do for him.
 
Did the tea have sugar in it? It's a serious question. If the tea had sugar in it the camera is probably dead. If the tea didn't have sugar in it it might work when it dries out (if your lucky) you say it comes up with lens error does it have a removable lens? if so try cleaning the contacts on the back of the lens and front of camera body (do this with care) if that doesn't work try and borrow a similar lens to try. If just the lens is broken it'll be cheaper to replace that the whole camera.

You need some professional help with firstly getting a job which will help with your self worth and your bank balance. It doesn’t have to be your dream job, you can work up to that once you’re ready. Then you can buy a new camera and your mum some flowers. Then if you still need it you should gets some professional help with managing your anger, that should come before a girlfriend.

This, 100%. We can talk to you about cameras and marks in pictures, but really those aren't the issue at all. And I would try to get help with the anger ASAP, possibly even before a job.

How long do I wait until i get a new one, I have a old camera but that is rubbish because it has a black mark on it. I feel very stupid that i did this

Why not wait till next xmas, you might get a new one. Maybe if you do not get angry and things go well, you just might get a Nikon. Preferably with a nice prime lens. ;)
 
I can’t help thinking we scared the troll away. Too many alarm bells ringing.

If he is genuine then he has my sympathy. You guys as always have gone out of your way to try and help him which is fantastic.
 
Perhaps a job in Demolition would suit better than photography.

Don`t do it the hard way then have to live with it for life. The first thing that you really need to get sorted is, your anger, then and only then try and get a job save up and get a nice camera.
 
We are all assuming its a cup of tea, maybe it was just his tea, like a spag bol or something?

Googling the username is erm.... interesting :rolleyes:
 
I used to be an angry bad tempered person, when I was very young. I found it takes less energy and stress, by thinking happy thought. Although, some still really annoy me. :rolleyes:
 
Just so everyone is aware, we are also fully aware of the circumstances, Daddy's watching
Play nice folks :)

Sam, take the battery and memory card out of the camera and put it in the airing cupboard or somewhere equally warm for a few days with any covers or flaps open.

If the tea had sugar in it you need to rinse the camera under a warm showerhead (no I'm not taking the mickey out of you, I fixed a laptop this way).

If either of these don't work I'm afraid the camera is a goner.

Hope this helps you mate.

Terry.
 
I've been busy today so I haven't had chance to reply. No the camera still doesn't work. I took out the battery and put it somewhere warm but its still doing the same thing

I was responding to the idiot that called you one.

Ignore some of the comments above, there are plenty here prepared to help you, including an offer of a camera.

You’ve clearly got some issues, and some support already, there’s more help here if you engage with the positives, but getting angry on the internet isn’t going to help you.

Not just here, the internet is worse than real life, there’s times we need to rise above the negativity and plot a positive way forward.

This can be a supportive community, but like all Internet forums there’s not much tolerance for repeated bad behaviour. Try to keep a clear head and you’ll get support.
