Got a feeling camera wasn't the only thing that burned that night.JordanPlayer wrote:I'm kind of leaning towards this as well. If you were able to get the battery compartment door open to replace batteries and the camera still didn't work; I doubt replacing any of the other plastics on the camera would have much of an effect.J T wrote:Did the stove fry any of the electronics? You said it wouldn't turn on, so even if they aren't warped and melted, I wonder if they have still been damaged from the heat.
Agree, before investing on parts maybe temporarily attach an electrical contact; maybe wires or piece of flat conductive metal in place of the door to see if camera still works.
Door replacement would probably mean tearing down the whole case, an unexplored possibly damaging expensive territory.
You could go the Macgyver route.
If I can picture the compartment door correctly, all you need is small flat brass contact to jumper across ends of batteries to complete the circuit. Not as elegant but maybe a flat piece of brass, copper or aluminum topped with plastic and self tapping screws? Careful where screws drill into camera. Locktight the screws slightly loose. Notch the screw holes of the plate, so you can slide improvised door out of the way to change batteries.
Okay, maybe girlfriend may be even more angry of outcome but if trimmed right might be an inexpensive fix.
