They can be repaired but in most cases it will need a reflow and it aint cheap and when thats done they should do the ventilation mods on it as well

i think we charge 80 to 120 ish quid at work but i could be a mile off

TBH i would look at getting one of the newer ones they may cost a bit more but should last alot longer than one that has been repaired. I have seen at morrisons the 60 gig console for 129 quid and that is a bargin! With the ones that you get off ebay most of the time its just the console and you will have to buy a controller and all the wires separate and it can end up costing more than its worth.
