Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lithium Ion Handhelds/PDAs Battery For Palm Zire 72
Customer Review: Palm wanted $199 to change the Zire battery, no kidding!
Summary: 5 Stars
My Palm Zire 72s has worked well for the past 2 years or so. The battery life has progressively waned and now needs charging daily. I called Palm about out of warranty service, and their fee is $199 regardless of what the problem is. Basically, Palm considers their out of warranty PDAs as disposable items. Well, other than a dead battery the PDA was fine. I could not find anyone on the internet who would replace the battery for a reasonable fee. I did a Google search and found a few well illustrated how-to's on some of the techie web sites. It did not look like a very difficult procedure. Certainly not a $199 procedure. I bought the battery. It did not come with any instructions, but like I said, just do a Google search. You will need a T-5 Torx driver, a mini Phillips head screwdriver, and a plastic pry tool to open the case. All were included with the battery. I took my time, followed the instructions I found on the web, changed the battery, reassembled the unit and was done within 15 minutes. I had changed one iPod battery prior to this, and the procedure was similar. The most important thing is to have the exact disassembly instructions for your exact PDA model. Also make sure you ground any static out of yourself prior to touching your PDA, the motherboard, etc. This was pretty simple to do. Certainly not worth $199. You can do this.
