Broken waterproof casing and seawater intrusion to camera [ New ]

[williamb2442]

My camera case cracked while kiteboarding, and I noticed moisture forming inside the case. To try and save the camera, I immediately returned to shore and removed the camera and noticed moisture had indeed penetrated the case through the crack and unfortunately caused the camera to fail. I placed the camera in a ziplock bag with rice, and placed on a mild heater overnight, but the camera could not be revived. I noticed blue copper sulfate had formed on the pins in the port on the back. I need this camera for a Yosemite backpacking trip which starts on August 5th. How can I resolve this issue in time?
