Question on Palm Tungsten E battery/repair

[admin]

Hi all – I have a several years old Palm Tungsten E with a couple problems that need addressed. One, the battery has hit the point where it will only keep a charge for a matter of about an hour and a half’s use, more or less. The second thing is, the on/off button has been broken – there’s no spring to it, doesn’t move in or out when pushed, and doesn’t function to turn it on or off. The only way I can turn it on is to push the memory card in and out quickly. So, quite a pain in the butt.

I wouldn’t want to take it apart to put the battery in myself anyway – can someone recommend someone that could repair the button and replace the battery, or are we approaching a price that would make it worthwhile to just buy a used/refurbished Palm and sell this one for parts/refurbishing?

I don’t really have a need to upgrade – this one does everything I need a Palm to do.

Thanks all

Dave
