Re: Permanent stain on sensor

I wonder if some of the water got under the sensor's UV filter.  This idea might sound a little weird, but I wonder if you could displace the water by pouring some kind of isopropyl alcohol through it.  I have removed the battery and mem card and poured alcohol through the shutter switch, (had camera oriented so the switch was the low point of the camera and kept the alcohol away from the shutter box and sensor).

Maybe something like this would work?  But I supposed you could also 'brick' the camera as well.  Try it at your own risk......
