Did I bust my DVX100B?

Hey guys,

Just need a little help here. I was filming a short w/ my DVX 100B a few days ago. It was set on a tripod, and I was filming in my parents' front yard when I let go of the camera and it fell forward into the grass/ground. Upon checking the camera, everything seemed to be fine, but the focus doesn't seem to respond now. Either manually or auto. It seems to be stuck in a slightly unfocused setting, making everything appear blurry.

Am I missing a possible solution? Or do I need to just get it fixed? And should I send it to Panasonic or find a reputable and approved place to get it fixed somewhere in the Bay Area (where I live)? And does anyone have any idea how much a fix like this might cost? Or how long it might take?

Sorry about all the questions, but I'm a bit nervous as I have projects coming up and hope to solve this problem soon. Any advice would be a great help. Thanks.

Sounds like you kind of did bust it. Just a little bit though. I would have it looked at by someone who knows what they are looking at. Sorry, I couldn't answer more of your questions.
 
The switch on the front is actually for the zoom servo.

I'd say take it to a shop and have them check it out. That's probably your best bet.
