You could try gophermods.com, I had a power supply die on me and sent it to them for repair. Took like 3 days for shipping and they sent it back next day and 3 days back, excluding weekend of course. Prepaid shipping was $15, so for YLOD it would be $85 total cost. Mine is a 80GB b/c as well and didnt want to send to sony as they will tell you they are pretty much guaranteed to erase your HDD, even if there is no reason to. So all your data should be fine if you try that site, unless the YLOD somehow messed up your HDD, which it shouldnt have.
