I had the same problem, I see many reports of banging or thumping the tape door side of the camera, I shudder to think the damage that may possibly do but I tried it, No success.
So I had to find a better way to fix the condition. This is what I came up with.
Turn the camera on
With power on take out the battery
Turn camera on/off switch to off.
Reinstall the battery and turn camera on.
I had to do this a few times, the camera is working and still working today.
The answer, maybe a way to reset the cpu or controller in the camera, or jolt an electronic item in the camera......

This is caused by problems with the mechanism. There should be an indicator on the LCD screen when this happens. If the indicator shows a teardrop, it means the unit thinks it has moisture (dew sensor).

Your probably correct on this. I have a similar issue with my Sony and the camera dock. my charger works but I can't download the video from the camera because of the dock. Is there a DC in plug on the camera? mine has a small plug that is coverd in rubber on the back side and on the bottom. Look and see if you have this plug, you can just plug the wire going to the dock into the camera and charge it that way.
