Need advise on my seemingly dead NX30

Re: Need advise on my seemingly dead NX30

My NX30 died in exactly the same way- except there was no water involved, nor was it stored unused. I went out one day for shooting, it worked fine. Next day- nothing. It wouldn't turn on. I kept trying it every once in awhile over the next couple of weeks, hoping. I have the service manual for the camera, but I didn't really want to take it apart, so I finally decided it was time to upgrade. A week after I got my new camera (NX1), I tried it again, and it powered up with no problem! The SD card was corrupted, however, and couldn't be saved. I got to thinking; that particular card may have had problems from the beginning- it came from a questionable source and may have been a fake... which led me to consider the possibility that that's what may have caused the problem in the first place. It's just a guess, though. The camera has been working fine ever since, no problems at all. I find it interesting that others have experienced essentially the same thing.
