Nikon lens


I have a Nikon 70-200mm F/2 VR lens. I have had this for about a month (I bought it used). It is a great lens, however the AF stopped working. Its not the camera, because all my other lenses work fine in AF.
The lens still works in the manual mode, however I'm not sure if the VR is still working.
I spent a good deal of money on this lens. Can these be repaired? Any suggestions?
Thank you

  At the risk of being obvious...
That lens has its own M/A-M switch. Set to M it will not autofocus.
The VR switch also has 2 positions. 1 will operate VR whenever the shutter is half-pressed. Position 2 it will operate only at full press of the shutter. In this mode the VR effect will not be visible in the viewfinder.

  oops. Upon further review, the VR switch is just simple ON or OFF.
