PalmOne replaces dead m1xx handhelds

Tim Lesher via Slashdot writes: "After years of denying the problem with bad backup capacitors, Palm is settling a class action suit. If you have a dead Palm m100, m105, or m125, fill out the paperwork, and send it in, Palm will replace it with a new unit. No word yet on with what they'll be replacing it with, but I can imagine there are a lot of pack-rat geeks like me with one or more dead PDAs stashed away in a box."

Looking a bit closer at the settlement, it is clear that PalmOne is not giving out shiny new LifeDrives, but will replace the broken units with "new" or refurbed m1xx handhelds. In addition, the replacement is limited to one per address.

Where do I go to find the paperwork to get my unit replaced?
