How much does it cost to fix the battery door on a digital camera?

I have a digital camera that the battery door is broke and it does'nt hold the batteries in securely. How much does it cost to fix it, and is it hard to do?How much does it cost to fix the battery door on a digital camera?H there. I don't think you are going to be happy with the answer, but unfortunately, and as you know, no one makes things to last anymore which is why we spend more time buying things and replacing them than we spend using them. To fix the door you can expect to spend somewhere between $60.00 (very conservative) to about $110.00 depending. You might be wondering why so much when it is such a tiny door and looks so easy to repair. The answer is that camera repair techs charge between $60.00 and $80.00 an hour for labor. When they start a job even if it only takes 5 minutes, that is considered 1 hour. Then add the cost of the part (for which might have to be ordered) and the tax. There you go. You may decide to go ahead and replace the camera with the newer model/technology for about $100.00 more. In that case, one thing you can do is really examine that battery door and make sure it seems sturdy. Hope that helps.
