This is an excellent doc! Pictures are really clear and accurate, steps are concise and best of all they are correct. I was able to solve my issue the first go round with these instructions. Kudos to the author and thanks a million for the assistance!

Excellent!

What is the battery type and where to buy, thanks

My unit is missing the right foot stand. Is there anywhere else I can find the model number. Need to purchase a new power supply?

Also might need to replace the touchscreen its cracked. Have to power her up first to find out. Do you have a video for touchscreen replacement?
