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.

Probably too late, but *get the battery/ies out* and place it in a
warm dry location. 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..

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.

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.
