Hello all. My 7 month old Sony PRS600 now has a dead battery. It stopped holding it's charge when using the USB cable so I bought a wall charger.

I charged it from empty yesterday, did not touch it over night and now it won't even power up. In short the battery is u/s.

Worse, I can't find a replacement. Not sure what to do. Not happy with Sony or their reader, should I send it in for diagnostics/repair or should I try to sort it out myself? I am sure I can find a battery with help, plus help on how to install it. I am in the UK, where do I start with this?

Cheers

Phil
