Sony a900 - camera error

So, I was at a water polo tournament shooting with my wheezy a900, when the camera stopped firing. The camera had worked perfectly less than 5 minutes before, and the camera hadn't been making weird sounds or behaving erratically before it decided to stop working. The rear screen indicated something about there being a "camera error." From what I read online, the mirror or shutter will probably have to be replaced. This is what I get for using a studio / wedding camera for fast moving sports.

Does anyone have an idea how much that will cost?

Thank you.

P, it doesn't operate at all. As soon as I hit the shutter, I hear a very partial pathetic noise, then the camera error comes on. I will check out that thread. Thank you.

This exact issue happened to me a couple of years ago. I can't remember the repair cost now but it was hefty - thousand dollars plus. In hindsight I should have junked the camera.
