I have already killed an NX30 before (mainboard fried for some reason) and I'm happily using my second now. Unfortunately, the image quality is slowly degrading. Images are less crispier and sharper. Shutter count is probably above 300.000. I use it in harsh weather conditions - including scorching hot deserts, extreme wind, high humidity and freezing cold. I have cleaned mud from all over the camera, I can feel the tiny sand particles scratching around dials, there may have been some rain as well.

So I think the sensor is getting dirty with enviromental factors. It's not a sealed camera after all. Although I made a habit of using the built-in vibration cleaning, it doesn't really help much.

Do you think I can save this machine? How should I proceed to clean the sensor? Or should I say my goodbyes

Can you post any examples of the degradation in IQ?
