A local camera shop offered to send it to their Richmond facility to repair it and they are estimating $50-$200 repair so I'll send it off one day. I guess I'm not in a rush since I picked up a 7D.
:werd: Took it to a local camera shop and we did a few more trouble shooting things... it was what I was afraid of.. bent pin.
So.. they're shipping it off and depending on what it boils down to.. I may get it repaired or just get a new body.

j/k ive come to find that most real repairs on low end dslr's arent worth because for a couple extra bucks more you can buy a new rig, but ive only seen this to be true with canon and nikon. Not too sure about sony's repair pricing cant hurt to ask.
Oh snap.
Yeah.. we'll see what the deal is. Ideally I don't really have the money right now for a brand new camera. ... well.. no.. let me re-phrase that.. I don't feel like
spending the money for a new camera right now. I'll find out in about a week what the damage is. I mean.. the lens is fine.. so I would just really only need a new body... if I decide to stick with Sony.
