instructions and back up
Step 1.
Remove the two “Y Head” three pointed screws below the label on
the back of the device, as shown, using the included mini flathead
screwdriver. (Your tools may look different than the picture shown.)
You can also use a “Y Head” screwdriver if you have one. Set the
screws aside for reassembly.
Step 3.
Step 2.
Remove the two Phillips screws from the upper
sides of the device, as shown, using the same mini
flathead screwdriver or a 000 Phillips screwdriver.
Set the screws aside for reassembly.
Step 4.
Use the plastic flathead screwdriver or any small flathead
screwdriver (plastic recommended - metal may scratch) to separate
the back case from the front by CAREFULLY prying around the
device. There are clips on all sides of the device holding the front
and back together. Be careful not to break them when prying.
(Steps 5 and 6 Continued on Back)
Lift off the back cover. Remove ONLY the Phillips
screw shown in the picture above, then fold back
the protective copper foil (taking care not to tear or
damage it) so that the battery can be reached.
Set the screw aside for reassembly.
Step 5.
Remove your old battery from its seat, using the enclosed plastic flathead screwdriver to assist (as shown) if necessary.
Leave the connector plugged in for this process. The battery may be taped or glued in, so pry under it GENTLY until it
comes loose. Take care not to break the old battery.
Disconnect the old battery at the connector by CAREFULLY pulling outward on the connector with your thumb and
forefinger. Be very sure that you are pulling outward on only the part of the connector that comes out, as shown. Also,
note whether the metal connectors shown in the picture above are facing up or down so you can connect your new battery
correctly.
Step 6.
Making sure that your battery is facing the right direction (connector towards the bottom of the Clie), and that the metal
connectors on the white connector plug (shown in Step 5) are correctly oriented, connect the new battery by pressing the
connector at the end of the ribbon cable into the socket as shown. You may need to use the tip of the screwd river or
stylus to press the connector in, but DO NOT press too hard or try to force the pieces together. They will fit easily when
correctly aligned. Position the new battery in its seat, placing the protective foil back over the battery and screwing the
single internal screw back in to hold it in place (shown in Step 4).
Replace the back cover and screw the four external screws back in. FULLY CHARGE your new battery before use. (Allow
at least three hours. For quality control, we pre-charge many of our batteries, so yours may require less time.)
PLEASE NOTE: Our tools fit the majority of Clie’s, but some devices may have different screws installed for
various reasons. If our tools do not fit your device, you may have the appropriate tool in a tool kit you already
own. You can also check your local hardware or electronics store if you do not have the right tool at home.
