I will definitely use your directions if I decide to take it apart, thanks. The thing is, however, that I can see the battery register when I pop it in. The control strip module reports 100% charge. However, it does not provide any power. (It is a brand new battery). The other thing is that the computer clock does not keep the time either. I suspect it might the internal battery (I hope there is one!) -- that also needs replacement. Do you have any advice on how to put in a new one? and where to find a replacement? I am determined to fix this little computer, piece by piece ;-) thank you, Igor (Portland OR) > > The duo can be tricky when it comes to HOW the battery is inserted.
