Does anyone have any experience opening up a Tekkeon MP3450? I'd love to fix whatever is rattling around inside. There doesn't appear to be any screws on the case, so maybe it's glue'd shut? I've opened a Palm Lifedrive back in the day by using a little plastic tool that you had to wedge around the seam.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Bill

I cracked open an MP3300. I assume the 3450 has a pair of screws under the rubber pads on the bottom, closest to the front of the battery. After that it was carefully prying it apart with a razor knife. There was adhesive on the battery cells that took some force to pry the cover off.
Good luck!

Ahhh yes, that worked, thank you! I opened it up enough to see that I have a fairly large capacitor just hanging around loose inside the case. I'm guessing this battery is done!
But, at least I know, and learning was fun!

No surprise. My experience with those batteries is that they are not built to last for our needs.
