I'm going to take it apart one more time. I tried the cotton swap and alcohal technique but the circuitry was so tiny it was like operating on a mouse with a railroad nail. This time, I am going to have my wife to bring home a syringe from work (she's a nurse, not a junkie) and fill it up with some alcohol and flush out around the camera with that. I think that it is mineral deposits somewhere grounding it out. Once its flushed I am going to try to use dry compressed air to blow it out. Then I'll be taking pictures again!! (I am trying to be optimistic here lol)
Again some really great ideas here!! Thanks to everyone.
