Are there any button batteries?

Yeah, that sounds like the ticket (completely resetting the camera) to avoid a trip to the repair shop...however there are no immediately apparent/user-servicable button batteries -- just a bunch of really tiny microscrews holding the case together.

I suppose it is possible to completely drain the rechargable battery by setting the camera to never close up/power off automatically and just leave it sitting open, but there is no guarantee that will drain the internal battery that keeps date/time and the firmware.

If I did take it to the repair shop, my guess is they'd flash new firmware onto the camera and that would be that. I was just wondering if I could do that myself or force the camera to reset without popping the case off.
