XS-10 board cooked?

My XS-10 is just under 5 years old, and I use it extensively as my webcam through an elgato capture card. A few days ago, I started getting some disturbing glitches where the color and focus would degrade, and there was pulsing and flashing on the camera screen, and on my Mac screen.

I have tried to identify the problem: plugged in, and unplugged, updated the firmware, changed shooting modes, reset camera settings to factory, etc.  Unfortunately, the issue keeps coming back. 

The only thing I can guess is that prolonged use as a webcam eventually cooked the board. 

Any ideas on the problem or the fix are most welcome!

Update: the camera seems to have self-corrected. 🤷‍♂️  My working hypothesis is that moisture caused it to glitch, and after drying out, it's working again.

      It does look strange…,  but no, it is part of CSX’s (a railway company) maintenance equipment.

      Fujifilm X-T50 Film simulation confusion

      By ruralrelic · Posted

      Example: I am using a custom recipe, and I then use the film simulation dial to select a simulation. Are values from the custom recipe carried over, such as highlights, shadow, and white balance etc.? After studying the articles in Fuji X Weekly, this appears to be the case If you set a recipe on one of the C slots its settings will be applied to all the film simulations on the dial. The workaround is to use your 'standard' recipe at C1.   Please clarify this for me . I would have thought the film simulation dial would have no input from other camera settings.   Thank you - Very Confuded!

      Camera clicks twice after taking one shot

      Is this on the X-T30 II? Sounds like you have HDR selected in the shooting menu. The other alternative when you see the "storing" message is that the Clarity setting is non-zero but that doesn't cause multiple clicks.

      what happened to Capture One?

      By mcewena · Posted

      My XS10 came with a Capture One license but my PC at the time would barely run it so I stuck with my ancient version of Picasa.  Bought a new PC and my old Capture One has been deprecated and fuji site only talks about a 3 month trial.  Is there a work around or should I be looking for something else?
