I had a broken-fiber problem before on another type of laser (SM
fiber). And we had it spliced. Using a fiber fault finder, the
engineer located the fault within 2mm. Not bad at all. The resulting
fiber is 1" shorter with a little power drop (never calibrated it
carefully) from the laser. It costed us only $50.

Out of curiosity (and future reference), where did you have the work done?
