I'm usually incredibly anal about checking that there is nothing compromising
the seals but have to admit, on this occasion, I failed to do so.  I can find
nothing wrong with the camera at all but it ended up with a tide mark halfway up
the LCD.  Even then, if it had been fresh water there might have been a chance -
pool water is catastrophic for electronics.

I often use ifixit guides for taking apart things like phones and
macbooks etc. Really good guides.

I discovered last weekend that my WG-1 is, sadly, less W than I would have
liked.  Much puzzling over the dismantling prodecure led me to our favourite
search engine for an hour or so, where I eventually found the following page.

https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Pentax+Optio+WG-1+GPS+Teardown/36657

Mine is not the GPS version, so I can testify that this procedure works for
other variants. If you want to take the front cover (the anodised metal thing)
off, you need a T5 Torx driver as well as the number 0 Philips for the rest of
it.   My example is decidedly toasted.  Not only is there corrosion on
electronic components, a couple of the ribbon connectors disintegrated as they
were disconnected.  I therefore have an almost complete set of non-electronic
spares for anyone who might need them.

BJs Wholesale Club is advertising the Option WG-1 camera in this week's 
flyer for $249.99, $50 off their regular price, if anyone is looking for 
one.  I don't know if that's nationwide or just my locality (Atlanta 
metro).  I can't really tell whether they customized the email flyers.

I was looking at this as a new carry everywhere camera and it seems
nice. 

the only thing that seems a bit off is that if i drop it from eye level
the warranty does not cover it. seems a bit chintzy to me.
