Inkpad 3 issues

Thenk you all, especially Matthias, for that detailed information and instructions.
I now have the similar problem with my PB740, and would like to start from the battery replacement.

Could anybody please recall how big is the battery slot actually? I found this battery, it not that thick (3.8mm instead of 5), but 2mm longer than original one. Are that 2mm critical, or original battery somehow loose in the slot?

I'd like not to disassemble the device before replacement arrived, I've lost so many small parts from other devices already

Thank you!

Thank you for the answer on a so old topic. That's actually why I ask: You state 76mm, but original battery is 78mm according to its model number. Ok, I'll check myself (preparing a big zipper bag). Thank you! And thanks again for the detailed disassembly instructions, let's hope my hands are suitable for that.

Well, it mostly fits, I just needed to a little bit adjust a metal frame with a mini-grinder, to wires to go not over the battery. Cracked the screen during re-assemble process, luckily found one on e-bay. Thank you guys for the amazing help with instructions and everything else!

I am glad to see you managed to repair all defects!
All the best to you and all readers !

I would just like to add, for those who want to remove the battery, I would recommend using "Solvents - LABEL REMOVER / adhesive remover", the battery will come off almost by itself, after that it is easier to clean the surface to stick a new battery.

for batteries and mobile phones i use: Cover & Battery Remover : Dissolvant Magique, dose 1 ml

Thanks to all and thanks to bubble_75 for honouring and acknowledging my contribution.

Well @Michal Jancik: Nice try to sell some products. But as far as I am handle and engineering Devices of microelectronics an sensitive displays, I would NEVER EVER start to inject some fluids into a device.

You will never ever get it out of the device for 100%. And what happen then with the remaining fluid next summer having the device on the beach at the sun reading, and Temp. of Device rises at 45-50°C?

But it's you choise.

Happy weekend @all.

I have been working in microelectronics for over fifteen years, and I can assure you that these special solvents are commonly used when replacing or removing batteries. In addition, the battery is never glued to the electronics, and when applying, the amount is applied in drops only to loosen the adhesive so that no damage occurs when the battery is separated. (someone may want to forcefully remove the battery and may damage the chassis, or use of the item may damage the battery and cause acid leakage, which may seriously damage internal components and may even cause the battery to catch fire).

However, I respect your choice and of course you proceed according to your preferences and experience

most of these things are IPA based, it evaporates pretty quickly.

Thank you for you reply. I may learn that modern times get modern tools too .
