Palm m505 battery shot?

[sparky]

Hi (first time post),

I believe the battery on my palm m505 is shot.
The reason is, I can't turn the unit on after I take it out of the cradle. Once I put it back in the cradle, I have to do a soft reset to start it again, and the unit works fine (as long as it's in the cradle).

My questions are:
Am I correct in assuming the battery is shot?
I've had the palm for about 1 1/2 years now.

If it is shot, what is the best way to go about replacing it.

Thanks,
Ron

Looking through other posts. It sounds like my best bet is to order a battery and screw driver from gethightech.com.

Anyone have other opinions?

Thanks,
