I lost the battery for my m9750. Anyone know of a good source? I recenty read a PC Mag article that said cheap aftermarket batteries are a much better value. dt

I couldn't get the software to work and I couldn't find the original site of the software. Instead, I taped a piece of cardboard on both sides of the button and I think it will work.
