I'll more than likely rip the shrink casing off around the battery to get the part number of the battery then reassembling it with new shrink wrap and hope it works ;-). Right now the device is working just fine with out one, and I use it for app testing so it won't leave it's cradle all that much anyway.

If I find anything out I'll let you know. If I actually manage to fix mine I'll be happy to fix yours for the cost of the new battery and shipping (though I can't guarantee anything of course, nor can I be responsible if your device blows up etc..). It's pretty easy to get the case off and get to the battery though a lot of caution must be exersised when pulling the battery off the board since it's double sided taped on.
Thanks for the offer, Lumberjack. I appreciate if you can post some pictures of the dismantling/reassembling process. If you send the pics to me, I can upload them to the forum

Best regards,
Mario
