[MacDV] Daing it I damaged my baby!!!

[Conlon Brett]

Hi video boffins,

Today, right at the very end of my family outing, I grabbed my camera  
bag by the handle and didn't realise I hadn't clipped it closed so it  
basically threw open and spewed my video camera (3CCD Panasonic GS400)  
spinning forth right onto the tiniest possible piece of concrete  
between the table and the grass (10cm further and all would have been  
well). The impact snapped the small clip that holds the LCD viewer to  
the side of the unit (no big deal and I found the snapped bit) and  
there are a number of new scratches over the camera, but the biggest  
concern is that when I turned it on the picture all looked very yellow- 
ish. I turned it off and on again, removed and replaced the battery  
and it made no difference. I rewound the tape a bit and played my  
recordings prior to the incident and they play in the LCD panel with  
full clarity and colour accuracy but anything previewed or captured to  
tape after the damage is now yellowish.

Anyone have any similar stories or know what the damage might be  
before I send it in for assessment?

Sadly,
