Hi,

First the simple question: I have a PB 170 with an (understandably) dead battery. There are a number of replacement batteries available on Amazon and they're not particularly expensive either; does anyone have experience with these? The abundance of offerings comes with a total lack of feedback on Amazon, so I thought I'd ask here.

Second, and this is a bigger deal: the screen looks a bit problematic. After a few minutes of use the corners start to turn black and they remain dark for a while even after the machine is powered off. Photos:

Any thoughts on what could be causing this? Something tells me it's not an easy fix...

TIA!
