The instructions below come with no warranty or guarantee, proper or improper assembly or use of excessive force may result in damage to the parts involved or to your PDA/Mp3 Player. By utilizing these instructions, you agree to hold Laptops For Less blameless and unaccountable for damages or problems caused by use of these instructions. These instructions require a moderate level of technical ability and proficiency in the use of hand tools, as well as a general understanding of electronic components. Buyer assumes full responsibility for the installation of this replacement battery.

 

 Step 1:

Before beginning battery installation, please be sure to remove the stylus and memory card from your Tungsten PDA.

Step 2:

Using the included screwdriver, remove the four screws from the bottom portion of the PDA (the piece that slides).

 

 Step 3:

With the screws removed, pull out on the plastic tabs (where the screws were removed) while lifting and pulling on the bottom section. The bottom section of the Tungsten should now be separated into two halves.

 

 Step 4:

The sliding cover is connected by two slide tracks. To remove the sliding cover, push the end of a small object, such as a paperclip, into one of the two guide holes while pulling the sliding cover towards the bottom of the PDA. Do the same with the other hole and the sliding cover should come loose. The slide cover should still be connected by a ribbon cable.

Step 5:

Remove the two screws from the top of the PDA using the included screw driver.

Step 6:

Remove the two screws from the inside section of the PDA using the included screw driver. Once these screws are removed a metal screw nut should fall from the front of the PDA. Set this piece aside, it will be needed during re-assembly

Step 7:

Carefully disconnect the ribbon cable from the back of the PDA using your finger or the included flat-head screwdriver. The ribbon cable will still be attached to the back of the case by glue.

Step 8:

Begin to pry the top section of the PDA using the included flat-head screw driver. Start at the top of the case. Once the section is free it should still be attached by the ribbon cable and the battery power cable. Simply flip the case cover over giving you access to the battery.

Step 9:

The battery is attached to the case by a small amount of glue. Use your finger or the included flat-head screwdriver to remove the battery from the case. The battery will still be connected to the motherboard by its power cable.

Step 10:

Remove the battery connector from its socket by gently pulling upwards on the battery connector. The battery can now be removed from the PDA. Please pay attention to have the original orientation (power cable towards the top of the PDA). Connect the power cable of the new battery by positioning it over the socket on the motherboard, pushing it in. Reapply the battery within its original glue spots.

Step 11:

Snap on the cover and reattach the ribbon cable to its connector. Put back the two screws at the top of the PDA. Put back the two screws on the inside section of the PDA by positioning the metal screw nut over the two holes on the front of the PDA. The screws should screw into the metal screw nut, attaching it to the PDA.

Reapply the sliding cover to the slide tracks and snap the bottom section of the case back together. Put back the four screws. There should be a total of eight screws throughout installation.

Your new battery will need a minimum of three hours of charging before first use.
