The Eos 400D is not going to be fixed professionally - I'm being quoted more than double the price of one second-hand from CEX.

Accordingly I'm going to sell it on ebay as is and hope it ends up earning some money. The Sony has already passed what I paid for it with a week to go, so fingers crossed it will do well too.
