Getting it fixed will cost more than replacement, almost certainly, if it's broken - assuming anyone can even fix it.
On the plus side, a superior replacement camera should cost less than that one did originally.
Amazon lists a new S1000fd for $176.
(I did the same thing, more or less, with my ancient PowerShot A520 earlier this year, replacing it with an A590IS which is superior in almost all ways*, and cost 2/3 or 1/2 the price the older one did.
* Especially in the "reliably functioning" way, thus the need for replacement.)
