Unhappy PRS-700 no signs of life

My PRS-700 shows no signs of life. No lights when plugged into the computer, no lights when plugged into a PSP charger, no status change when I push power or reset in all kinds of combinations. What it shows is the e-ink image of the screen with the words" Enjoy the new revolution in reading", "Starting up..."

I tried a soft reset, a hard reset, and leaving the reader on the PSP charger overnight, and still no signs of life (lights of any kind). I am guessing that maybe the battery is totally dead/dried out, and need to be replaced.

Has anyone had this experience before and does anyone have any recommendations? The unit is out of waranty. If I need to change the battery, I can do it, based on igorsk's post below:

However, I cannot seem to figure out what battery to buy. Is it the same battery as a PRS-500, PRS-505 or what?

Your advice is very much appreciated and thank you in advance.
