I actually did it myself with instructions online. The screen is a bit of a pain because everything sits on top of the screen, so every component need to be removed and then reinstalled on the new screen. Battery is only 10 minutes.

As for how much, I think $20 for battery, $50 for screen (iirc)

That's impressive! I would never trust myself to repair my own hardware haha.

I suppose that's an advantage of having such an old phone, you can take risks without expensive consequences. In saying that, once you've done it once the risk is low with the right precautions (outlined in the online guides).
