Help with Photo discolorations

Hi

I'm having some serious problems with my seamaster dc100. About every 10th photo has a brown 1/3 of frame.

I can get decent photos (well decent for a 1.3 MP) but the occasionally horribly exposed and brown frame is so annoying. I emailed pioneer research the people who make the camera and they thought it was water damage. Wouldn't water damage show up in every photo? My housing did flood a little bit. I immediately exited, and the water was just about 1 or 2mm from the bottom barely touching the camera. It was freshwater cenote, and I dried the camera out for several days.

Once I return to the States, working for DAN this summer in Cozumel, I'm going to pick up a 5060!! But for the time being I would like to fix it as a backup or to sell it. Thanks for the help.

Could this be condensation inside the lens?

It looks to me like the sensor/electronics are toast. (based on the linear "dirt" in the image.)

Cheers

Thanks for the help! I'm back in the states and have mailed my camera and housing back to them after few emails with the technician. They think its an electronics problem. I'll let everyone know if it turns out to be anything more interesting. Thanks for your replies.
