In fact, it attaches to the circuit board with a relatively standard connector. To get at it, there are 4 screws on the outside of the case and then the back slides right out.
Anyways, that is obviously not the best solution and if your unit has a bad battery in it, then Sony should replace it. I'd give Harry's suggestion a try before you go through that. In addition, if you are completely unhappy with the device as a whole, it may be best to just cut your loses and sell the thing. It looks like a lot of new readers will be coming out soon, so it's probably not a bad time to be in the market for a different device.

Yeah. For $300 bucks I shouldn't have to do that. And two of them were bad. Not just one. i thought at first that I just got a bad one. But after the second one was bad too, I could only come to the conclusion that sony products suck.
