Summary: need new ones


     I've just picked up a (barely) used hp110.  The problem at
this point is that the battery refuses to keep a charge (I unplug
ac, screen goes blank; reconnect ac, it says 0% charge).  The
manual's got all these skull-and-crossbones warnings about the
battery not being a user-replaceable part.  Can someone out there
who's been down this road before tell me what the options are?
Is there somewhere I can get a new battery as a spare part and
install it myself?  If not, what are the chances at this point of
finding an hp dealer who admits 110s exist and could fix one?
