Button Issues

Hey guys,

Recently after a trip to Northern Sweden several of the buttons on my GR have stopped working. Specifically the left and right "directional" buttons and the ADJ ISO dial. Everything else seems fine. From what I know this is typically caused by moisture getting into the camera and ruining the circuitry, and that while it can "fix itself" after a few days my own one has been in this condition for a week now. Anyone have any advice or alternative prognosis? Or am I SOL?

Cheers
 
Take this with a few grains of salt.....I never had an issue doing this.....work slowly and carefully....

I use a Q-Tip and get some WD40 on it. Then I move the Q-Tip around the button and get some down inside. Works fine and WD40 will not mess up any contacts, on the other hand...it helps to maintain them being clean.

This should fix things in a hurry......
