Thanks for that info. In looking at the pictures, I can’t tell which piece is the battery. Do you think it can be easily replaced? Or is it soldered in? Thanks.

Hi,

the battery is visible in the step 5 and step 6.

It is linked to the mainborad with a connector, It’s not soldered.

It’s glued to the back cover but, in my opinion, it can be easy replaced.

The battery type is "361-00097-00"

The nominal specifications are 255mAh, 0.97Wh and 3.8V

On ebay you can find a new battery: https://www.ebay.it/itm/283519139846?has...

I hope this can help

Maybe do You know where to purchase a gaskets?

Edgaras Tamošauskas - Réponse

Unfortunately, I don’t know where you can find it.

I’ve searched on my favourite websites with no luck.

Question: do I need to disasassemble the screen to change only the battery? Can I just access to it by the rear cover?

Thanks for the info!
