iPod Touch Audio Jack Repair Cost?

I have an iPod Touch (1st Gen) and recently the audio has only been playing out of the left headphone/speaker.

I have tried different headphones, no result, and the guy at Apple Support gave the predictable and extremely unhelpful "just do a soft reset" answer.

My nearest Apple store is quite far and I do not want to go all that way to find out it's going to be a ridiculously overpriced repair as I know the parts will cost all of about 50p (it's the audio jack that's broken, as I remove my headphones whenever I want to pause the music - I'm lazy).

Does anyone know how much it will be or am I better off doing it myself?

iPod Touch 16GB 1st Gen, iPhone OS 3.1.2

I'm having the same problem and it appears from the reading that I've done it's a pretty common issue with these models. Mine is 47 days out of warranty and Apple tech support told me it would cost $199 to fix the audio jack. What a waste of money. Anyone know of a good repair shop in the States i could get a quote from? If I ever buy another ipod (which is doubtful at this point) i'll be sure to buy apple care. Consumer Reports always advises against purchasing extended warranties but i'm finding electronics is one category where it's a good idea.
