You got about the only answers possible under the circumstances. Have you checked those cable connections yet? That part you should be able to do just with eye and feel......and you can just replace the main fuse for about a buck to be sure it doesn't have a hidden fault.
As for shop labor prices, what line of work are YOU in ?? Would you continue to do that kind of work if you couldn't cover all your expenses and make a small profit ??
I don't believe in throwing your money away but I DO believe in being practical about what you can and can't (or shouldn't) handle on your own. Sometimes it is cheaper to just pay to get it fixed up front.......before you mess it up worse and it ends up costing MORE.
This will be a good learning experience **IF** you have the time and the patience to see it through. I kind of get the impression that you might be a little short on the patience side.
