Help!!!! I fouled my CCD with fluid from a can of compressed air!

[Jono Slack]

Hi There

AND it happened with the compressed air vertical as well (Ger Bee please note).

What I hadn't done was let it stand for a day or two first.

I found Thom Hogan's CCD cleaning method cleared the stain away completely (after a wearying and worrying half an hour or so).

Good Luck!

Ack! I did the unthinkable! I tried to clean my D100's CCD with
compressed air, and some fluid hit the sensor. Now there is a huge
starburst of residue on it. What do I do?????

Gabriel,

Thanks for the information. I cannot believe that they want £39 for a small piece of plastic ?? I have also discovered that I need the external AC adaptor to get into the CCD cleaning option on the D100 menu !!

Did Phototronics tell you if that would be a "standard" charge for cleaning or if it was "extra" because of the "goo" involved? Since I'm down in that area often, just can't stay out of Glazer's can we?, it might be convenient once in a while if a "normal" clean wasn't too expensive.

Thanks,

I know how fun it is to sound superior, but I was holding the can
upright (duh!).

There is a standard disclaimer in the manual: "You shouldn't even
try to clean this yourself," but that is laughable, given how much
stuff adheres to the CCD.

Anyway, fortunately, it was not fatal for my camera.

Hi

In first, I was asking not stating.

Sounds like claening wise, we're all screwed. Don't do this, don't
do that, what's left???

Indeed I am confused either...

OK, to summerize, according to what's
posted here, Nikon says not to use a blower to remove dust,

No, that's wrong! The Nikon manual recommends a manual blower if you want to do cleaning yourself!

But my dealer does not recommend it for reasons I am not too sure about.

Nikon say not to use a swab or liquid to remove dust.

That is what I was told.

Nikon says not to use a brush to remove dust.

I think this is obvious, isn't it?

It looks like a vacuum is the only thing left,

I think this is worse to a blower.

If you blow into a closed bottle, the dirt comes out.

If you vaccuum it, you get the dirt in from the environment...

Decide for yourself what you like better.

but Nikon will likely say don't do that either.

YES...

So if all these things aren't used,

Not all...

how does Nikon do it?

As an unconfirmed information, they use swabs and liquid... and the results seem to be as bad as some of the posters here got... except the cost...

Magic wand and fairy dust??

Think no magic, all the same simple boiling water...
