RIP My Friend RIP

My friend has died. Together we saw the world, but recently she took a fall and like Humpty Dumpty all the kings men could not put her back together again.
My friend was my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 and I loved her, well, it. Small, easy, reliable and always ready to record our adventures.
It was my fault and I have yet to forgive myself for it. I was at my son's concert trying to place the camera on a ledge to video the band when I slipped and took the camera with me. It fell to the floor, battery and SD card escaping and never woke again.
Hoping to find something wrong like a loose wire I downloaded the service manual and started the autopsy. I didn't find anything wrong, but learned a lot in the process. Just like it to keep teaching me even in death.
I loved that camera and will always cherish the memories we shared. Rest in peace my friend. Rest in peace.

I can tell you what's wrong with it. The whatchamallit has beeb severer from the scizimajack. Unfortunately, that type of injury is usually fatal. I'm sorry for your loss, but you realize you are guilty of camslaughter in the second degree.
