It depends where you are. If you are in a country where wages are low, and there are high taxes on electronic items, then it may be worthwhile to get Sandisk players fixed. In most of the US though, it is likely to cost much more to get a player fixed than to buy a used one in good condition.
One of my friends wanted to get a broken microwave oven fixed. The repair place he brought it into wanted more than double the cost of a new one to fix his broken microwave oven.
