Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Glue

1. Place your PDA on a flat surface with the back of the device facing up and the screws exposed.

2. Remove the 4 corner screws with the TORX T5 screwdriver.

3. Separate the case from the body. You might have to use a flat screwdriver to gently pry it open.

Tips & Warnings

• You will need a TORX T5 screw driver to get the screws out. If it doesn't come with the replacement battery, you can order it online (see Resources below).
• Be gentle. If you break off pieces, you may need to replace the entire device, and you may also void any outstanding warranty.
