Fuji XT2 malfunction

I am looking for advice on my Fuji XT2 problem,
I am holidaying in in Germany and my camera has stopped working. After shooting on a wet day with my 10-24 non showerproof lens, the camera now is malfunctioning.
What ever lens I now put on, it doesn’t click into place and the F stop reads zero.
The electrics all work fine and the menu works as normal.
I have cleaned all the contacts but this has not helped.
Can anyone suggest a quick fix,
or a service centre in Berlin?
It is so beautiful over here!
Cheers
Tony

Based on your description, I do not fully understand what has happened to your Fuji X-T2. I previously owned an X-T2 and an X-T1. I appreciate how frustrating it must be - on vacation in a beautiful historic location with significant activity going on around you - and you are not able to record it. Rather than rush around trying to get your camera repaired in a foreign location, is there a dealer nearby where you can rent a Fuji X-T2, Fuji X-T1 or Fuji X-T3? Your lenses, other than the one which got wet, may be fine; the problem may be with the camera body.

Thank you RJay
I have seen a local dealer and apart from the E50 fee for Fuji to have a look at it, he thinks the cost of repair would be uneconomical.
My checking on the net suggests the camera has had it!
However I am now the proud owner of an XT3 and will try a warranty claim when I get home.
Thanks for your input!
Cheers
Tony
