It is definitely NOT cost-effective to repair it. Ask your local Geek Squad if they are willing - probably no - minimum $250. If you live in Philadelphia or another major metro, see if they have Mp3 repair servicemen - most places do not because the actual builders/info is in Korean, Japanese, etc, and b/c it is less expensive to replace than to repair.

There is no such service. A private user said that he had found a way, but he did not post pictures, and I am quite skeptical. It's not just a simple matter of replacing a screen, because usually the circuit that controls the screen is bad. I'm afraid the player will need to be replaced.
Broken screens, unfortunately, are not being replaced by the manufacturer. You will have to replace the player outright. If the screen ALONE is damaged, you can buy a broken version (as long as the breakage is not in the screen), and you can superglue a screen back on - note: glue can damage other parts - doesn't look pretty. The problem is that, usually, it is not JUST the screen that is broken - an internal component is damaged as well. It is not cost-effective for the Mp3 manufacturer's to repair this kind of damage, so they just offer replacements. Sorry!
If it is still in-warranty, you can try calling Sansa - they will give you THEIR price. It is definitely NOT cost-effective to repair an Mp3 player. Go to eBay and pick one up second hand if it was very expensive initially.
Ask the manufacturer what their cost of repair is - unlike with cars, the manufacturer usually has the best price. If it is better than the cost of getting a new one - go for it.
