R$ doesn't carry a matching replacement part and the one they do have will be an ugly install anyways. So, really, I had no choice. I also intend to put copies of the morning ser…

Alright, so small update: All I've really changed is I've put the battery in as well as the power cable (I only had the PB plugged into the wall without the battery up until now).…
