My dv tape lot in my camera wont open?

Question

I have a Panasonic Pv-gs80 and there was a damp spot on a blanket where mountain dew spilled on it and my camera was on that spot, and now when i try to put in a tape, the slot where you put in the taped refuses to open, I'm worried if I don't know what to do and try to fix it, the camera will never work again, so does anyone know how to open the slot?

Answer 1

keep the camera in sunlight for 6-7 days with thin cloth around it .it needs warmth and mostly it will work normally(remove battery first)
