salt water damage

[mick ash]

hi,

i have just returned from a holiday with some fantastic footage from my daughters V-tech action cam. Problem is one of the days that we were out the waterproof case failed while we where snorkelling, I've stripped the unit down and already i can see the delicate circuitry is starting to perish.
it seems that the micro usb port is not reading anything or charging, so i believe that is going to be one of the big problems. How would i go about removing the data from the onboard chips, if there is a way? the micro SD expansion card has not failed and i have recovered all of the footage from there, but the lo and behold the best footage is on the internal storage.

any help would be greatly appreciated.


Many Thanks,

Mike

Use a solution of baking soda to stop the corrosion.

Post pics of the internals - close-up and in focus! Getting data off an onboard chip won't be easy.
