"Bite the Bullet" and go direct to the distributor if you value your camera !
You really don't want to hand it to a "Make do & Bodge it up" repair-shop..... their repair warrantee probably won't even be worth the paper it is written on !
But the OP only has a cheap camera and they depreciate pretty quickly. The repair cost from an official dealer may well be more than the camera is worth so there's probably no harm in trying a cheap repair if you can find someone to do it. Just take it to your local street corner repair guy.
