Sold PDA. Can't find a new one.
I remember back in 0.8 or 0.9 there were plenty broken ones around the ships. Now I can't find any. Not even in the shops. I have enough cash to repay my mortgage, but can't access without PDA ?
I sold it very early (shop already refreshed).

You can click the cash button on top right of screen it's actually a button to pay mortgage etc.. It just doesnt look like one click where you see your amount of money

Also, you do not really need a PDA. It is just a tool like everything else. I never use it. Maybe that will change when it becomes more useful as the game moves closer and closer to 1.0.

Also, there are tons of PDAs lying around in derelicts, bodies, containers and so on. No worries about PDAs. You will find another one, if you cannot buy one.

I paid half of the mortgage of the ship and now the button is gone.
Bank still charges me 150 per shift, which is practically nothing, but I'd like it to be 0.

Any ideas ?
I tried loading/restarting the game ... it's gone ...
Is there a bank kiosk or something somewhere ?

You need to wait for the next payment unfortunately. I know, it is frustrating. But I think the dev sees this like a real bank in real life (nothing wrong with that). They will charge you the day you pay your mortgage entirely even if it is 00h01. But you should be able to pay your mortgage anytime as we are in the future, but with a penalty since it is like a contract.

The button will reappear on your next payment.

Uh, no idea what gonzo world you're referring to, but in the real world, you can go make a mortgage payment at any time, for any amount you desire. There may be some restrictions, like a penalty for paying too much at once, so they don't end up losing too much profit off the loan interest that they were expecting to get... but that's all written into the contract you sign, and not necessarily there; only in closed mortgages, not open mortgages. Coming across a massive windfall and paying off your mortgage all in one go is actually fairly common, even amongst closed mortgage holders; they just pay a few thousand dollars in penalty fees on top of what's owed for the entirety of the mortgage, in that case.
