605 wifi battery

Hi,

I have a 605 wifi, approximately 2 years old. It has mostly stayed in the ** docking station as I use it to play music through the hifi.
Just recently, the battery life has plumeted to about 10 minutes, the screen goes low res and dark then shuts down.
I will try a reset but fear a new battery is required.

Any one know of a decent supplier and replacemnt guide?

P.S. it is a 40 GB version.

Very good guide here. Haven't had to follow it as yet, so can't comment on how easy/hard the process is:
