Low back up battery warning.

#1 (**permalink**) 13-08-2006, 04:01 PM

Hi, have a Dell X5 PDA and it keeps me telling me the back up battery needs replacing very soon.
Is this a home user jobbie (bearing in mind I`m technically incompetant!) or do I need to send it away? Also if I do need to send it away can someone please nominate a reliable and trustworthy place to do this in the UK?
Finally for now (sorry for all the questions!) where could I obtain a battery please?
Many thanks in advance,

You can do this your self.

Flip the X5 over and on one side you'll see a circular panel with a black latch. Use the stylus to pop the latch, and replace the CR2320 button battery under that panel (see attachment)

Make sure your main battery is kept attached, and fully charged. If you remove both batteries, then the device will reset and all data will be lost.

Many thanks, any idea where I could obtain the correct battery for it please?

It's very common battery, used in most car remotes too. So you should be able to get just about anywhere. DIY, supermarkets, petrol stations, local corner shops.....
