scary problems with my dvx

Recently, my dvx has produced a strange problem. Whenever I turn on the camera, it produces a strange noise, very similar to a coffee machine, that consists of a low, soft grinding or churning. The onboard mic's even pick up the noise. Also, when i upload my footage to my computer, the footage shows a black/blue strip on the right edge, almost as if the camera is recording just outside the lens or the head is not directly on the tape. Im assuming this problem regards the recording head and not the lens because the black/blue edge does not appear on the viewfinder.

I am not sure if this is related, but I have also received an error that states "warning: optic NG" or something similar - it has been a week or so since I have seen this error.

Any suggestions? Sounds like I need some serious service done :(
