I was filming in the Cold And The HMC slipped out of my hands and fell like a foot and half and landed on the tripod base that i never take off the camera.

Now ugh I cant get sound levels, I havent tried with a mic yet but my Internal Mic

isnt working anyone have any suggestions...I am So ashamed of myself 2 Years and this happens ugh!!
 
Yeah, I wish I had something more encouraging to say, but Modus is right. Send it in for repair. If Panny is anything like Canon, it shouldn't cost a huge amount for the repair but I honestly don't know. Do you have a Panasonic service center near you? If so, you could run it by there and find out the cost. In the mean time, you may have to record the audio externally.
 
I have dropped mine twice from 4 to 5 ft . Only thing i got was a a couple of scuffs on the lens hood. Guess i was lucky.
 
I heard stories early in the 150 days about someone who strapped a 150 to the back of their motorcycle in some South American country. The camera bounced off in the road and he noticed it half an hour later. He drove back and found it laying in the road. Scuff marks, but still worked fine. I love working with solid state media and no more tape heads.
