I have a Sony DCR-PC8E camcorder which has developed a fault (of my own doing!)

I used it during a snow shower {stupid, I know!) and ever since then it does'nt record properly, the picture breaks up (similar to a freeview picture breaking up!) every few seconds with the sound also being also distorted. When i play back old tape its fine with no problems so its a problem with record only. I have used a cleaning tape but does'nt make a difference

Any idea's on how I could clear the fault or is it beyond repair? Any advice and help most welcome.
