You have to remove 6 er 7 screws and open it up then carefully unhook the 3 ribbon cables for lcd,touch screen,and capacitive buttons.......then remove the speakers,cameras,modem....pull the mother board and then the battery is one of those soft batterys so you have to be carefull in un-tapeing it from the back shell and then you will need to fine a comperable battery .......and it voids your waranty just by opening it up but hey if you decide to do it and something goes wrong id be interested in the mother board to replace my other streak


But on the positive side I can field stip a streak 7 in under 5 min.......just cant figure out how to format the nand

Amazing. Ive got one with a broken charge port. Dell replaced it but they still havent sent me a shipping label to send back the old one. I waited a week for an email with the label to send it to mexico, so after 10 calls they just sent out a new one. Employees just arent so bright. Id love to fix the old one.

Default PDMI

There is PDMI port on side of Dell Streak 7 that can be used as add-ons. If you are lucky to find a 7inch thin battery, you could hide it in a leather case and plug your streak with it. Also you could make your own conventional USB and HDMI port on leather case.
