How to Intentionally Break a Digital Camera While Making it Look Like Normal Wear and Tear?

I want my digital camera to stop working without smashing it or dropping it.
I'm hoping to bring in the broken camera for a new model under an extended
warranty plan. Does anyone know how to make it stop working without doing
something to it that makes it look like I broke it on purpose (hammer marks,
etc)?

Hook the AV socket on the camera to an A/C wall outlet? That should toast
it..

I don't know if any extended warranty plans will simply replace the camera.
Most like Mack will actually open the camera up to determine the problem, if
they detect intententional damage the warrantyill be voided.

May I suggest you not announce your intend to commit fraud on the
internet. Do you know that others end up paying more for their products
and services because of people like you who are so self-centered that
they don't know ethics from ethnics.
You might try bending over and inserting it where the sun doesn't shine.
Maybe that will work.

There is nothing so stupid that somebody won't say it on USENET in
earnest.

You are a shameless boob.

Perhaps your screen name should be joeboob...

Announcing to the world that you intend to commit fraud is right up there
with all those "world's dumbest criminal" stories we all read about.

As Yoda would say:

"May the police force be with you..."

Immerse the camera in a gallon of sweetened iced tea for 24 hours.
Remove, rinse briefly and place in a slow oven for 2 hours or until
thoroughly dry internally. The rubes will never suspect a thing
unless you say something stupid. But if that happens, admit
nothing. Tell them that yomama did it.

Try sticking it up your butt for a day or two - but take your hockey stick
out first.

I wish he were, but suspect he is typical of the 'ME' generation.
