Need battery help in DC area

[Paul Buede]

My Freerunner battery is dead and I cannot boot it.  Have tried the 
suggestions on the wiki, none of which work for me.  So I need to find 
someone who can charge my battery, or someone whose battery I can 
borrow, or someone with a battery charger I can borrow or some such 
idea.  Any help is greatly appreciated...

Also, does anyone have instruction on how to fix my Freerunner so it can 
boot off USB or wall charger?  Is it a hardware mod or firmwae upgrade 
or something?
