But if you are positive that the camera died because it was flooded, the relay had nothing to do with it, so scratch that.
Looking at the ebay photos of the camera, it looks like the only place water could have gotten through is the round tip of the camera. Not sure how easy it would be to insulate (still waiting for mine to arrive for 2 weeks already).

No, I'll do the relay thing! though, I need a pro to do this for me. Thanks for the advise. Keep us posted on your theories when you get yours. I really need to solve the flooding thing. Thanks!
