re: what time is it?
I heard back from Canon a few hours after my last post — I can order a replacement part if I call the parts department.
I picked up a replacement battery, and once I got it taped in there well enough the camera is working fine. I’m still debating whether or not I should order the little holder thing; the tape is working well enough for now. I should call and see how much it’ll cost me — if it’s not much I can order it so the inside of my camera doesn’t get all goopy from the tape.
