[QUOTE="lowflyingpenguin, post: 302856, member: 664"] The sensors are sensitive but it is really the filter that overlays them that takes the hit. I imagine Ribena is a fruit drink which means that it probably has some acidic quality. If that is the case your CCD or CMOS is gone. When I first read this my reaction was that after pulling the batteries you could have diluted the effector the liquid by placing the unit in distiller water then putting it in uncooked rice to absorb the water. This is a common method of recovering liquid damaged cell phones so I would expect it might work with a digital camera. When I realized what Ribena likely was all I could do was remove my hat in respect for your dearly departed sensor. I would imagine any mechanical parts are also gummed up by the sugar. Does anything work such as the focus, zoom etc? If so then it may just be the sensor. If you can find another one that may be physically damaged, like lens etc. maybe a local warranty depot for the brand can swap out the sensors. [/QUOTE]
