I had an Oly 2000 that got wet, took the batteries out and let it dry out for a couple of days. Put the batteries back, in and turned it on......BANG!!! POP!!!! CRACKLE!!! And amazingly it worked. Of course my wife jumped 3 feet off the ground (good thing she is short or she would have bumped her head on the ceiling.) The camera worked fine for about a year, then the flash quit working. Good luck with your camera.
