THANKS!

That is what I'm looking for, the info on how to change

this battery (and where to get it, if you have any ideas...).

I tried leaving the camera on the power supply for more

than 24 hours, and on an NPF960 for a couple of days,

but still no luck with the internal battery holding a charge.

Please "dig" away - I could use the resultant info (and

Sony does need help in organizing the content all of its

manuals...;-).

Thanks in advance...!
