Re: Olympus SZ-10 Not Turning on issue after snorkeling :-(

The most important thing to do with electronics after suspected water damage due to ingress is to isolate the camera into its components (aka, remove battery, hot shoe cover etc) and place in a dry environment with dehydrating functions. Desiccants are the best at this, and I would recommend placing the camera in a container of rice bubbles (Google it) or dried rice and leaving in sunlight to dry out the internals. After a few days, remove the camera, pop in a battery and test to see if it works.
