DV Tape seems to be erased!

I shot some footage the other week on my DVX100B and when I got home I realized that I still had the tape in my camera, so I threw it in my backpack so I would remember to bring it back into work. The tape probably sat in the bag for a few days and when I put it in the deck to capture, all I get is pink and green noise. Rows and rows of pink and green dots. There is timecode there, just no picture.

Now normally I would assume this is a dirty head issue. Even though I just had the deck professionally cleaned last week, I put a cleaning tape in, but nothing changed. I don't carry any sort of magnet in my bag nor any electrical devices except maybe my iPod.

Has my tape been erased?

I can play back other tapes fine in the deck, just not this one.

Any ideas?
 
Unfortunately it is what it is...trying to get rid of hits and noise on Mini DV is next to impossible and if it's consistent throughout...your tape's a goner...

Hopefully it wasnt anything that cant be reshot...
