Replace SidekickII Battery

[sneitzel]

Can anyone point me to a wiki or other guide describing how to open up a SKII and replace the battery?

I have a friend who is still in love with her SKII (hates the SKIII) and wants to hang onto it for a while.

I have found numerous replacement betteries but am having trouble finding instructions on how to do it.

Thanks.

you cant actually do it your self. i mean yeah sure theres a way but i wouldnt suggest. it send it in the tmoible repair for a new batt. replacment.

I've got no problem tearing into the thing, I've done it many times to many other electronic devices. I was just looking for a guide to the SKII.

I apprciate the advice to send it in and that may be the eventual solution. The cheapest I've seen would run $35 plus parts & shipping. Conservatively, that's what $60+ ???

New name brand batteries can be had on ebay for $15 shipped.
So, If I can do it for her I can save her some $$$
