I spoke to the Sony service centre representative in Bangalore they are saying that PCB has gone and it's not feaible to get it repaired as it will not be economical. Is there any option remaining which I can give a try to get my camera in working condition. Since I doubt the workmanship of Sony service centre guy's as they refuse to investigate the PCB. They are willing to replace the board without checking the fuse in PCE.

plz help.

If it's condensation, you could try leaving it turned off in a ziplock bag of uncooked rice. The rice quickly sucks up the surrounding moisture. Make sure the environment is free from excess humidity, drop the wet device in a container of rice and let it sit. For a better desiccant, it'd be a good idea to store all those little silica gel packets that come in anything from shoe boxes to moisture-sensitive gadgets.

I'd also get some canned air and blow it out in case there's sand as well.
