Actually, name a price and we'll see what we can do...

Hey there guys and gals, looking to snag the prerecorded MD of Tidal, by Fiona Apple. I almost got it on ebay, but someone sniped me by 2 bucks :- $40 bucks and I pay for shipping Anyone have it and wanna get rid of it?

If thats helped, I may just buy another sony one and hope its not DOA lol.

Yes, I have tried those methods, I thought you were refering to a method discussed in a sticky or something I may have missed in this forum. The <.< was a sign that I wasnt sure what your comment had to do with the original question, not that I hadnt previously tried to jump the batteries. The unit already will not turn on while on battery power. My MZ-NH1 will flash the battery charging symbol and CHG:--- min before popping up with 00min and shutting down. The unit plays perfectly fine without a battery when I have it in the dock, so its not the unit (unless its the battery contacts which I have cleaned). I even purchased one of those universal chargers that you clip the battery into to apply the charging bits directly to the battery contacts to no avail. And I've tried probally 3 more techniques in the last 2 weeks. Short of hunting down someone with a power supply or working battery and jumping them off (another suggestion I read), I have no more idea of how to charge these up. Back to my original post (and yes, I have googled that as well) I thought that perhaps the people here would know of an alternative to what appears to be a problem that is cropping up more and more for those using units powered by these LIP-4WM's.

<.< Which methods are you refering to?

So it's finally happened; both of my LIP-4WM gumstick batteries have died and will no longer hold charge. I see many of the LIP-4WM for sale on ebay and random places, but to my knowledge these are all original run Sony brand and are surely pretty old (bad news for lithium-ion batteries). Does anyone make replacements or equivalents for this battery? I dont care if its some tiny specialty place that charges $100 a pop, just would like to snag a couple of new ones
