My Casio Exilim EX S10, to fix, or not to fix. (camera, battery)

[bentstrider]

I've had this thing for about six years now after getting it to replace an EX Z1050 that was most likely stolen from me at an event around that time.
It performed well and did the job.
Only thing I didn't like was the switch from AVI video recording, to WMA or MP4.

That said, screen has a good crack that could still be viewed through.
Battery door is gone, and due to a torrential downpour in ABQ last Summer, the video no longer picks up sound.
I've gone on Ebay and found replacement parts to possibly restore it, but I also ran across used/working S10s and Z1050s.

Now I'm in that tight spot.

The Casio Exilim EX S10 averages about $100 on Ebay, how much would it cost you to totally fix yours?

Probably about $60 all together, give or take.
However, I've become one of those people who's been trying to reduce the amount of trash going out and I just don't feel like parting with it.

At the same time, I'm not in too much of a hurry to get one.
I recently shelled out for a used GoPro H2 and that thing has been filling the void, camera wise for now.
