Yaesu Repair

Anyone know what Yaesu charges for repairs, and has anyone had experience 
sending their VR500 in for service?  The display in mine has developed 
segments in the left-hand side that sometimes work and sometimes not.  I 
opened it and tried to see if I could get at the display connections, but 
managed to break a small surface-mount coil on the one board and now the 
UHF sensitivity is shot.  <dumb>  However, the UHF sensitivity was coming 
and going before I broke that coil so I think there were other 
issues.  Can't complain about the radio, it's had a lot of service so far, 
and it is on nearly 24/7 for several years now.

I found the info on Yaesu's web site as to where to send it in and all 
that, just wondered about others' experiences with them.
