I had the same problem with the DEW code flashing on the screen. I finally got some Drierite dessicant (anhydrous calcium sulfate). Essentially this is little blue pebbles that absorb moisture. I filled the bottom of a container with the Drierite, then opened all the compartments on the video camera (LCD screen, took out battery, opened where the video tape goes and took out tape, left compartment open). Then I placed the camera in the container with the drierite and sealed the top of the container with plastic wrap. I left the camera in there for two to three days. When I took it back out the DEW code was gone and the camera functioned again. I had been getting the DEW code for months and my camera would not work at all. Good Luck, Sean
