I'm not looking forward to replacing my battery after watching this but I really appreciate you taking the time to video and post this. Thanks a lot!

For anyone considering attempting this feat I would suggest taking a valium beforehand. You would think that changing a battery for a PDA is as simple as changing a battery on a mobile phone. WRONG! There are so many bloody tiny screws to remove - the case doesn't seem to want to budge and for some reason they decided to glue everything together including the battery!! This task just wasted 45 minutes of my life, give and take 10 minutes for cursing...

My experience is:
- You just do not need to peel the wire ribon from the back case, only disconnect at the end
- You can open the case smoothly by pushing sideway. this releases at that side. Then to the other side swiftly. No need for screwdriver (that can hurt!).
- There are replacement batteries (usually indicated 'for M550') that are not the same size of that of the original T3 but they can be put in without problem. Do not get a heart attack like me noticing the difference!

Thanks for it! Helped me lot and encouraged.

Well done! I think you`re very brave for tackling this. I may even have a go myself when the time comes! Thank you.

thank you
