Like many Panasonic camcorder owners - the dew sensor on my NV-S7B has
packed up. Since the cost of professional repairs outweigh its value -
I'm hoping I might be able to fix it.

I understand from some postings - resoldering or shorting the sensor
can resolve the problem.

1) Does anyone know where the sensor is / what it looks like? It's
definitely not part of the power/record cable as with some other
panasonic models.
2) And then - how do I disable / fix the sensor?

It's usually near he video head drum. It's a small maybe 1/8 inch
square with two wires going to it. On the surface of the square you may
be able to see a continuous back-and-forth conductor covering most of
the surface.
