Where can one find said replacement battery. I had it on in less than a meter of water for less than 30 minutes and water was able to get in. Even though I did not subject it to its supposed limitations I am fairly certain that best buy or samsung will check the water indicator paper and tell me that it was my fault. I have taken it apart and gotten it all dried out. It will come on and function just fine and then when i unplug it it will turn off after a minute or so. At any rate, I would like to replace my battery but need to find one first.
