If you're up for an attempt at fixing it yourself, there's a quick write-up
here:

Otherwise, if you're looking for a raspberry pi, Active Electronics sells
them locally, (located at Century and St. Matthews)
and Allied Electronics (http://alliedelec.com) sells them online. They're
$50 local, and $35 online plus shipping.
