Camera dropped in water, working... but?

I dropped my camera in water (not salt water).
I dried it out, it works really well, as in menu, screen, zoom thing comes out, buttons work, flash works, battery & memory card in great condition, and there is no water that i can see in the lens. But even though it takes the pictures, it only comes up black... like through the screen before i take it too. But the screen works fine because the menu and all that is working. And when i put them on my computer they are still just black.

Is there anything i can do?

i dried it for a week, with all of the compartments unscrewed and taken off.

I'm not too sure, but it sounds like the water destroyed the camera sensor, the part that takes the data from the light and converts it into a photo. Or just some connectors could be damaged. You best bet for repair is probably to bring it to a third party repair centre and ask for a quote first, since the water damage voids your warranty.

Not sure where you are but there are quite a few in Vancouver and Richmond.

Its dead. Call a priest, buy a new camera, use the strap to hold it at all times.
