Has anyone the actually done it ? It's stuck on a screen which says ' no battery power. I am unable to switch in on or off? If it makes sense.
Any input is appreciated. Please tell me that there are more options than 'buying a new one' as suggested by Sony staff in UK

I did get the battery from them (cost me about $45 all said) and followed the install instructions on my prs505. Unfortunately my ribbon cable got kinked/slightly torn and the reader was then unusable so I was out $45...It appears that this happens frequently from comments I've read. I ended up buying a T1 to replace it. Unless you really, really love your 650, you might prefer to invest that money on a new, improved device...
