D70 Command Dial Failure
I got caught this evening in a bad thunderstorm in St. Augustine and my D70
got a bit moist. Everything about it is fine except the main command dial; it no longer does anything. I tried the master reset to no effect. Any other advice? Thanks. Dana |

Depending on how 'moist', give it a few days even, and then try again. Damage can be done to wet circuitry where there is any potential source of electric current. A small amount of rain spattering is usually not terminal, but it depends. Hope you're insured.. |

Dana Okay, freaky, considering that I have had no trouble with the D70 in a cat 5 typhoon, but accidents happen. :-( You will have take the batteries out and let it dry, preferably near an air conditioner (these dehumidify the air) and hope that it is not permanently damaged. |

I tried the master reset to no effect. Any other advice? Good news! I did as suggested here, took the batteries out, and after just sitting in the A/C overnight, it's healed. So, thanks for the tips, and I am back in business. Dana |
