Yeah, I've gone inside mine.  It isn't that robust a mechanism, compared 
to Leica M.   Chances are, when it fell, the glue around the infinity 
screw cracked, and the infinity adjust is now floating.

Here is how you can do it yourself.

This suggests that you only need to take the accessory shoe off.  If you 
need to take the entire top off, it is fairly easy, and gives you a lot 
more access.

Good luck.
