Introduction
This guide is to show you how to replace the battery on Palm Zire 71.
This guide demonstrates how to replace the battery on a Palm Zire 71.
If your handheld is not lasting long on a charge, or isn't charging at all, it's time to replace the battery! It may also be worthwhile to examine the battery if the handheld is bulging, if there is discoloration in the middle of the screen, or if you have difficulty sliding the camera out.
If possible, discharge the Zire 71 to below a 25% battery level before beginning this guide. This is a safety precaution.
