My friend has his c corder repaired recently and the place he went usually charge a flat fee of about £100 plus parts. The plus parts bit can be the killer - a f wire board for one of my sonys a while back was 400 quid - I got another camera off e bay for 500 instead.
If if was my camera I would try a few things myself. First - give it a good shake / slap, that might sort things out for a bit. Maybe take it apart and have a fiddle - you have nothnig to lose by trying.
Failing that I would get a new one. Cameras get better all the time so I dont think you would be dissapointed.
