Ray, I think you have answered your own question. Get it done by 
someone who knows. The world is a smaller place, and Indonesia is not 
that far away from Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia, where 
there are good if not the best repair persons. I can give you the 
address of a reasonable one here in Melbourne should you want to do 
it that way. Aussie dollar is "down", so his repairs will seem cheap 
;-)

Cheers
