Shutter door does not open automatically

Shutter did not open, needed to be manually opened. Upon closer inspection a very small spring had broken, just behind the lens protective shutter, upon carefully removing it, the camera now opens but not as full as before, still works fine. The wire is the size of thick hair, a problem waiting to happen. It appears that there is two springs, and plastic ones associated with the cover itself. It appears to be very difficult to take apart this camera, to get to the problem area. Shutter did not open, needed to be manually opened.

I have had the camera for just over a year and the shutter does not open automatically. I am able to open it manually but wonder if there is a more premanent fix and how much it would cost.
