I'm not sure if you should try to repair it. Duo Docks are pretty cheap
these days. I did a quick search on eBay, and got 93 completed items
with duo dock in their title (some of them were MiniDock).
Anyway, a quick look and the prices go from $10 for a "as-is" Duo Dock
up to about $50 for the latest revision with some warranty. Then, there
is shipping. But you could probably find something for $30, shipping
included.
