Default IPAQ 3630 question

I recently bought an IPAQ 3630 off eBay. I'm happy with it but its
battery is definitely on the way out.

Judging by the number of replacement batteries advertised on eBay it
is possible to replace it if you know what you're doing; I don't but
am willing to learn, so my question is:

- is there a website or other source of information about the tools
and procedures needed to replace the IPAQ's internal battery?

TIA
Martin

Hi Martin,

I helped my friends (and myself0 several times with changing batteries in
their iPaqs 3630. The whole operation is quite tricky, but if you have some
experience in this area you can do it.
Otherwise my advise is have the battery replaced by the experts.
