Apple - Batteries

@metalspree & @xerocool: IMHO it's better to spend a little to get it fixed from a service centre (unofficial might work too). While replacing batteries is quite easy, replacing LCDs or trying to fix stuff on the logic board isn't really a good idea unless you have prior DIY experience (with solder guns etc). You could end up frying some small but critical component.

^eBay is your friend, people! Look up LicketySplit Auctions. I got a replacement battery for my iRiver h115 for 18$, home-delivered with a screwdriver kit to open the unit in 12 days after placing the order.

@TechHead: Noob question. Any hassles while getting stuff shipped from the US?

^None whatsoever. Have ordered from Amazon and eBay. Blu-Rays and small stuff though, never larger stuff like video cards and their ilk.
