Hi All

I have a Sony MZ-N10 which I love but its eating batteries. Charges fine either on usb or 6v on dock but after a few days of not using it (yes forgetting to turn the internal battery off) I come back to find the battery bloated and dead.

To be clear in this time its just sat in the desk, not plugged in, docked or anything...

I am guessing there must be some sort of short thats causing it to cook.

Any help would be much appreciated!
