1. Make sure your Tungsten E is off.

2. Remove the four screws on the back of the PDA using the included Torx T5 screwdriver. They will be located at the four corners of the device.

3. Once the screws have been removed, GENTLY pry open the Palm case starting on either side using the included plastic flathead screwdriver or any small flathead screwdriver. Note that there will be tabs holding the case together, and each one will have to be released. Pry all around the device, releasing each tab until the back cover comes open completely.

4. Lift off the back case of the Tungsten and set it aside for reassembly. Make sure that you are grounded before coming into contact with the Tungsten’s internal parts.

5. Note the location and orientation of the original battery within the device. You will see two wires (red and black) connecting the battery to the motherboard.

6. Use your soldering iron on a low setting to soften the area where the old battery’s wires are connected to the motherboard. BEFORE DOING THIS, note the order of the wire colors and which area each color was originally soldered to. When the metal has been softened, gently remove the original battery’s wires.

7. Remove the original battery from the battery compartment, using the plastic flathead to assist if needed. Be very careful not to bend or break the battery as you remove it.

8. Remove the protective tape from the end of the new battery. Remove the black and red insulation from the ends of the wires to about 1 centimeter up. This can be done with wire strippers, a razor, or small scissors. Be VERY CAREFUL not to damage the wires.

TomTom GO 720 Battery Replacement Instructions

The following TomTom Go Battery Replacement Instruction guide can be used for the following models:

If you purchase from BatteryShip.com, you’ll also receive a couple of torx head wrenchs and a plastic tool that looks like you’d use it to remove miniature bicycle tires. The miniature slot and philips screwdrivers won’t be needed unless your unit was built with different screws than mine. Come to think of it, I believe my original 720 used philips screws.

Step #1 – Remove Antenna Plug and Screws

Start by flipping the unit on its face on a soft surface. Remove the antenna plug with your fingers, and remove the two screws indicated.

Step #2 – Separate Display from Case

Using the screwdriver or something slightly larger, push on the threaded insert where the screw had been until you begin to see the front of the unit move away from the case. Move back and forth between the two sides. It may be a bit sticky. Carefully pull the top of the unit away from the case. The bottom of the unit is held into the case mechanically using a little hook mechanism. Don’t force the separation. Lift the unit away from the hook on the bottom during separation.

Step #3 – Remove Display Unit Flex Cable and Mic Cable, and Split Unit

The amber colored plastic with the copper traces in it is the flex circuit. On my unit, there was a strip of black tape covering the connector. If there, you’ll need to peel that black tape off first. Fortunately, I got a good side view of the latch that holds the flex circuit into the connector. Raise the latch tabs. Once done, the flex circuit will slip right out of the connector.

Remove the mic connector (or is it the light sensor?) and you will have now split the unit into two freestanding pieces.

Step #4 – Remove Screws Securing Main Unit to Case

Remove the 4 indicated screws. If you have an SD card installed, this would be a good time to remove that as well, if you haven’t already…

Step #5 – Separate Main Unit from Case

You may find that the small tool provided with the battery helps to get a sticky main unit separated from the case. Exercise care when separating the unit – the speaker connector must be unplugged as well.

Step #6 – Remove the Lithium Ion Battery Connector and Remove Battery

Disconnect the 3 pin connector.

Step #7 – Separate Battery from Circuit Board

OK – this is where it gets hairy. If you are the nervous type, this would be a good place to stop. The battery is likely stuck onto the circuit board with some seriously aggressive adhesive .. some sort of contact cement material. It will be necessary to PRY the battery away from the circuit board. I started with the small tool provided with the battery, but found it inadequate to the task. Be aware that there are no components mounted under the battery, so use of a very thin screwdriver may (as it did for me) help you out a great deal – but you MUST use it carefully. You don’t want to scratch any of the copper traces from the back side of the board. I had bent the battery pack up a bit by the time it was finally released from the board, but hey – the battery is what’s expendable here.

Step #8 – Apply Adhesive and Install New Battery

Now while I’d be the first to argue that the adhesive TomTom is using might be a bit of overkill, it’s there for a very good reason. You don’t want your new battery rattling around inside the case. The remaining adhesive on the board isn’t enough to hold the new battery, so I opted for 4 dabs of silicone seal / adhesive to hold down my new battery. Once the dabs were in place, I carefully set the battery back down on the board and attached the connector. I used clear silicone, so it’s not as easy to see as it might have been. White, clear – doesn’t matter.

The new wire was a good bit longer than the original, so I tucked the excess out of the way on the left side of the battery.

Step #9 & etc. Reverse Everything

I noticed something during disassembly and reassembly that gave me pause. There is a small round lug attached to the black wire under one of the screws. The metal of the lug comes perilously close to components underneath. Be SURE that it is bent up just a tiny bit so that it CANNOT touch the parts underneath.

Garmin iQue 3600 Battery Replacement Instructions

To install a Garmin iQue 3600 battery follow these installation instructions below. If you have not yet bought a Garmin iQue 3600 battery you can order one at Batteryship.com.

Begin by backing up all your data…then proceed with the following:

1. Remove the four screws in the back of the case and set them aside. The top two screws can be accessed by flipping up the square piece at the top of the back of the device. Our tool kit includes 2 Torx screwdrivers. The larger T6 Torx screwdriver should be used to remove standard screws. If it is not the correct size for the screws in your device, please let us know. If the screws seem smaller than the T6 screwdriver, try the T5 Torx instead. Set the screws aside for reassembly.

2. Use the green pry tool to pry around the case. Remove the front of the case very carefully once it has been unsnapped from the rest of the device, and set it aside.

3. Using the included Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws that hold the motherboard into the back case. One is at the top right of the device and the other is at the bottom left. Set the screws aside for reassembly.

4. Flip the motherboard and screen open to the left (as if opening a book), keeping in mind that the motherboard will remain attached to the back cover at the top left. This will give you access to the battery.

5. Unplug the battery connector for the original battery from its socket, taking care not to damage the socket. Remove the original battery (carefully prying it out if needed), making sure to notice how the battery was oriented. Be very careful not to puncture or damage the battery when you remove it.

6. Plug the new battery's connector into the socket. Do not force it- it will only fit in if oriented correctly. Note the location of the prongs in the socket and the plugs on the battery to find the correct orientation.

7. Place the new battery (oriented correctly) into the battery compartment.

8. Replace the motherboard and re-install the two screws that hold it in.

9. Replace the front cover and re-install the four back screws.

10. Charge the new battery for at least 3-4 hours.
