Are you living in an area where condensation is an issue? Like humidty, etc? If so, this may be the culprit as well. One thing that you may want to do is place the camera in a ziplock bag with a cup of uncooked rice. The rice will work as a dessicant to draw out any moisture which may be causing the issue.
Outside of that, sadly, it looks to be a service/repair that's needed. But understand that without warranty coverage the average cost of a camera repair is around $180. As such, it may cost more to repair than it is really worth. The rule of thumb is that if the estimate for repair is north of 50% what you paid for it, you're better off taking that money and buying a newer and upgraded model.
