Er, um, I dropped my camera a little bit on Tuesday.
I wondered why the pictures I took at the doctor’s office turned out so grainy, and then the next morning when I tried to take a picture at school, the screen was blank. I still have the little icons and everything, but it won’t take a picture. Some frantic internet searching found that it’s probably the CCD sensor-thing that’s busted. (It’s whatever turns regular light into a digital image.) It would cost $130 or so to send it in to be repaired.
“I bet it’s still under warranty,” said Lloyd. (I hadn’t yet told him that I dropped it.) I checked the receipt and yes, we had bought the extended warranty – right after the first awful malfunction. Yes, we bought that extended two-year warranty two years and ten days ago.
*sigh* So, you’ll have to live with some Photo Booth pictures from the iMac for a while. Sorry.
(Silver lining – new camera!!)
