my one year old baby, my dvx no longer turns on! i was shooting snowboarding at mt hood yesterday and i was not filming, just talking to someone with the camera on. and when i looked down the camera was off. i didn't turn it off, it just died. my battery had lots of life. i have tried powering it with a fully charged battery and even the ac adaptor and it will not turn on. it won't even eject the tape!
before this happened someone had sprayed snow on the camera, but it only hit my uv filter and lens shape, and i wiped it off quickly. it was probably 80-85 degrees and very sunny.
am i overlooking something stupid that would cause my camera not to turn on? what should i do?
 
Re: dvx stopped working!!!

working in snowy areas might caused increased humidity that might have cumulated in the camera's body. try to open the cassette door and let it dry for some time. Hopefully it was just humidity. That would be my guess. Keep us posted if that worked.
