If so, then the video is on newpower99's site and the screwdriver should be obtainable locally, if you can't find an eBay listing that supplies it with the battery.

I haven't replaced mine yet, but have read some posts that say it is difficult. I imagine they didn't take enough care (it apparently takes great care) in disconnecting and re-connecting the ribbon cable and re-installing the back without damaging that cable.
There are some PRS500/505 replacement batteries listed on ebay, coming from different countries. I'm not sure if the PRS-500 and PRS-505 batteries are identical, though. Maybe I will give it a try, it's only $ 15 or so, with free international shipping.

Thanks!
