I took it to the appointment today, and waited maybe two minutes. He looked at the power icon at the top of the screen, deduced that it was the battery, and said he'd have to order one. Tested the system just to be sure there was nothing else wrong. Three days to get it, will drop it off then, and another 3-5 days to replace it, then pick up. Cost: $129, just for the battery, no labor costs. Perfect!
