If it is just a regulator then they are pretty cheap themselves.  If you are 
not familiar with replacing components on a printed circuit board then pass 
it on to someone who has experience in this area.  *DO NOT* attempt to 
repair it yourself if you are not 100% sure you are capable of performing 
this.  If you do try and make a mess of it, it is highly unlikely that 
anyone else will take on the job to undo your "fix".

A professional repair should not cost too much assuming that is all it is.
