First, the fact that you paid only $50 for is irrelevant to the complexity and cost of repair.Second, the only relevance of the cost of repair is whether the expense is worth it to you and then you need to think of whether you could to better for the estimated $200-250.
Third, the cost of repair is dependent on the parts, time and overhead of the repairer and, to a great degree, independent of the cost/price of the device. That's why there are so many electronic devices that are simply never worth repairing.
