Phone got wet.. Now camera will not work

[samharris]

The top half of my phone fell in a small cup of water. The microphone was messed up for a day or so, but the camera will not work. Every time I go to take a picture it states camera failed. Can this be repaired???

Hardware failures require replacement. Waters never a good sign.

It'll probably have to be repaired by Samsung.

Yeah camera is a common part to die on the s3 after a swim. Id defo recommend paying samsung to fix that unless you can find a good guide on DIYing it :thumbup:

If you had the phone on without drying it properly then be prepare to spend some coin bud, you'll have frazzled some of the internal components.
