Thank you so much for showing me how to do this. FYI: For the digital LCD screen version of this camera, there is only one screw to take out on that first step.

Can you tell me where I can buy the replacement battery for this camera? Thanks.

I also need a battery and it seems almost impossible to find one to buy. Please let me know if anybody has found a replacement battery that fits.
