Replacing backup battery - O2 XDA II Mini

[new_ppc_user]

Hello all,

Does anyone have any guides on replacing the backup battery?

This is my problem:

Last couple of days my O2 XDA II Mini has reported that the backup battery has completely drained and needed to be either recharged or replaced. This is strange (well to me anyway) because the mains battery has still plenty of juice left (something like more than 80%).

Todays episode, i hadn't even used the O2 for 1 hour when it reported again that the backup battery was flat. The mains battery still had 87%.

After a bit more investigation i have discovered that the backup battery hasn't actually drained but is loose. When i give my O2 a slight tap the backup battery magically appears !

Now the question is......

Does anyone have any ideas on how to replace the backup battery and/or check the actual connection of it to ensure that it doesnt magically lose power ?

Any help would be most appreciated !

that thing happens to my mini too, but it only pop up after reset. But, because it doesn't affect much as long my main batt still have power so I kind of ignore it though...

that happens to me as well sometimes. the real problem (for me anyway) is that when i have to replace the main battery and the backup battery isnt being picked up.

i then have to either find a power source to re-charge my main battery (which is pointless - because i have two batteries just for this purpose) or i have to re-install of my programs, contacts etc because the backup battery isnt functioning properly.

did you by any chance open your magician lately or have your casing replaced? one reason that happened to me was that when i had my magician repaired, the connection of the internal battery somehow got loose... i just tap it and my internal battery status returns to 100%... if you can open you magician, try pushing the lead connector on top of the internal battery to have more contact...

no, the case is still the original case. i till try and open it up and see if that is the problem though

I think the problem is the internal backup battery was weak/dropped.
As the manual book said, that the internal backup battery will hold your data approx. 30 minutes after you loose the main battery.

Hi!

As I opened my old Magician (and destroyed the display connector :D ) some time ago I found out that the battery cover can be pulled up carefully with a screwdriver. After this you can replace the backup battery with a similar one. I didn't try this but it should be possible.

Yea that picture is definately the backup battery.

You can pry it out quite easily.

My problem is that i have corrosion (white powder, oxidation from when it is charged) on mine. Everytime i take out the main battery out to replace it, it hard resets. It definately needs a replacment battery cover and repalcement battery.

The other problem is i cant seem to source the battery and cover in Australia.

Problems are getting much worse as the years go on... sigh,

I'm just using this phone till the Meizu M8 one comes out.

whitemoo.

OK, so I have just bought an XDA II on Ebay, and my backup battery appears to be stuck at 0% (I am going to try charging for longer to see if that helps, but not confident.)

How do I get to the backup battery without damaging the PDA, and anyone know the cheapest place to buy a replacement if jiggling the connector does not help? I'm in the UK.

Thanks!

hi guys! i just bought an item from ebay too, it's an xda IIs. i also have a hard resetting problem, but mine's a bit different. it's just that whenever the battery's pulled out (loose battery lock), it hard resets EVERY TIME! i came across some threads regarding this, they said it was the internal battery's problem. i checked my internal battery level and it's at a full 100% capacity. anyone has an idea how to fix this problem? it would be a great help guys! thanks in advance!
