Hey guys, I happen to own an Olympus mju 725SW camera, (7.1 Megapixels, 10m waterproof, 3m shockproof).

Last night I was with some friends in a pool party. As we usually do, we indulged in taking pictures underwater. It was actually less than what I usually take, just around 10 pics.

Then the morning came, and when I opened it, the LCD was just plain white. And then it suddenly starts turning on by itself, and even if I turned it off, it would turn on and beep loudly. These symptoms suggest that it got wet. But the big question is, WHY? I mean, it's waterproof.

I've had the camera for about 2 and half years now, and not once have I used it beyond what's prescribed in the manual. Heck, it barely goes deeper than 2 feet under water.

Now, it bugs me, what repairs will have to be done with the camera? Will I have to get the LCD replaced? Will the other internals be affected?

Oh yeah, even with the LCD messed up, I was still able to take pictures and save it in the memory card. When I transferred it to my laptop the pictures were somewhat blurry. Close inspection showed what appears to be some water trapped in my lens enclosure.

This camera failure came at such a bad time, whereas I could've been been buying gifts for people I now have to spend thousands on repairs.

Thanks for any input guys. :D
