Introduction

Before disassembling anything be sure that the device is powered off. This installation is much easier for those familiar with the use of soldering irons. Those who have never used one before should look at this guide.

    • Remove the four #00 Phillips screws securing the front case assembly to the rear case assembly.

    • Carefully lift, but do not completely separate, the front case assembly from the rear case assembly.

    • Be extremely cautious when separating both halves, as the rear case assembly is still attached to the front case assembly via a few connectors.

    • Gently pull the battery cable connector from its socket on the motherboard.

    • The second connector can remain attached to the motherboard, but be careful not to break the connector while handling both halves of the device.

    • Do not disconnect the black wire. Doing so may cause severe damage to your device.

    • Remove the two #00 Phillips screws securing the battery to the rear case assembly.

John Lyons -

Thanks' - I just found two of my old Garmin StreetPilot c320 units in storage.

This will be the project of the evening watching movies.

New 18650 Battery with charging protection is ready.

Thankfully these are ten times easier than the TomTom just completed with new battery install.

Cheers
