My camera is frozen. I can see the pictures but, what's wrong with it?

Question

The camera was working fine until it dropped to the edge of my pool and clattered to the 5-foot deep water. It's an Olympus Stylus 1030 SW--meaning it's 6.6 feet shock proof and water proof. We tried getting it out but it fell once more. We turn it on and it repeats a weird sound. It freezes the image and won't take pictures although you can see the other pictures we took before. Is it dead? Is there a way to save it? We took the memory card and the battery out and put it back in but the results were the same. Thanks.

Answer 1

Is the camera still within the warranty period?  If yes, I would bring it back to Olympus as they claim this camera is shock proof 6.6 ft and water proof 33 ft.
