Introduction: This guide will instruct you how to place a battery on the Palm Tungsten E2 and save you over $100 in repair costs by Palm.

Tools required:
1. TORX T5 screwdriver (gotten from web search or included in some battery orders)
2. Small flat tipped screw driver (i.e. for repair of eyeglasses)
3. glue
Part required:
Replacement battery (Palm Tungsten E2 1050mAh GA1Y41551) - appox. cost  $20  on eBay.

Directions:
1. Turn over the Palm PDA on the backside and place on a flat surface.
2, Use the TORX scre driver and remove the 4 screws at the corners.
3. Use the small flat tipped screw driver and separate the bottom half of the case from the body.Be careful not to probe too deep into the cavity. Work slowly around the edges and slowly rock the two parts apart.
The two pieces are connected by a pair of wires.
4. Once apart, the battery is located on the back side of the case with the wires connected to the mother board via a small plug.
5. Use the small flat screw driver to separate the connector and the two parts should now be free.
6. Again use the small flat tipped screw driver to pry off the battery from the back of the case.
7. Replace the new battery in the same position and orientation and use a small amount of glue to hold it in place.
8. Plug the wire onto the mother board, the plug is keyed and will only go in one way. Push to snap in place.
9. Replace the back cover by aligning the four screw holes and carefully snap into place.
10. Replace the 4 screws using the TORX screw driver but do not over tighten.
DONE
You should charge the device fully and perform a "reset" but pushing in the small hole in the back of the case. Voila - Just like brand new!!!
Good luck.
