It sounds like some electrical damage occurred, and this isn't good, since sometimes the only rememdy is to replace the main control board (since they don't go to the component level when fixing them).
The best you can do is contact Sony and see if they can offer a repair or exchange service.

this is my second Sony camcorder with the same issues. Both lasted almost 3 years and have done the same thing that you are mentioning. Sony wants me to pay $106 to fix it, when i believe that i shouldn't pay a cent. Obviously something is wrong. This is my last Sony camcorder for sure
