Sorry to hear this happens to your GH2.
I have a suggestion. Try to get the cheap battery on ebay that port the dc supply terminal.
It may work since this is the same as connecting the camera to DC. Maybe it will work since it uses just 2 terminals without battery status signal.
Only side effect is you cannot see the status of the battery.
At least with this you do not have to go to all this hassle of returning and waiting which sucks!
