where I live there are shops for laptop, console and phone repairs. I'd keep it simple and go to one of those
Been a while since I looked, but last time I checked around me, the starting price for any work like that was like $200 (maybe it was less?). Not exactly worth it for a $300 phone that's already aging unless you need data off it or something. Granted, YMMV with pricing.
battery replacements usually run around 60-90 at my shop depending on the device, if I ever walked in to a shop and heard 200$ I'd walk tf out that's insane pricing.
