Hello. I have read from several sources, that when the internal battery of
an etrex is weared out, the system gets unavailable. And for replacing that
battery you have to send the unit to an authorized dealer... and it costs a
lot of money.
Is any possibility of doing this procedure by myself?

The Vista doesn't have an internal battery. It stores charge using a high
value "super" capacitor.
