Question about a Palm Tungsten T2

Post by WSmac »

Okay, so it's not skirt related but couldn't it be fashion related somewhat?

The question is more of a tech question though and I was not sure where to put it.

A friend of mine has a problem with hers.
If anyone knows about these I'll pass on any answers to her.
Thank you.
Here's her message...
Hi-
I've had a palm tungsten T2 for about two years now, and absolutely depend on it. My 'executive function' is close to non-existent. Recently, it died; tech support on palm said that the battery was likely dead, given the age of the device, and told me that a tech at Radio Shack (there are no palm stores within driving distance) should be able to replace it without dumping the memory.
The girl at the first radio shack thought that it was a cell phone. I've been to two others, and while they weren't as bad as the first, neither were they inspiring of confidence.
Does anyone have experience with these devices? Do you think I could replace the battery myself, if I was on chat with palm tech support while I did it? If you've sent a device in to palm by mail for servicing, how long did it take to get it back?

thanks in advance.

WSmac-
Have you tried ebay?
I just did and there are loads of possible recovery stuff there including
replacement batteries.
How did the original battery stay charged? Solar? AC charger?
Most devices that are charged with an AC charger can be operated
while on AC. And possibly in this case at least long enough for you
to salvage your data.
