Oh no, it's definitely possible, I've done it several times. I think Sony 
designed the camcorder is for easy servicing. The camcorder accidentally got 
submersed in water, and after it dried I found that everything works, but 
the lens is hollow inside, and it's got residue in the middle. Repeated 
cleanings involving distilled water and heating/cooling would not get rid of 
the residue.

I guess I'll just keep it until I transfer all the tapes to HD, and buy a 
new camera.
