Before you consider that do you have the facilities and expertise to do component level PC board repair?

The battery doesn't just pop in. It's a component on the board that is soldered in place. You will need the equipment to desolder and remove the old battery then solder the replacement in place. On top of that the battery is inaccessable as it is on the bottom of a daughter board that must be removed first to access the battery.

Hi Hal,

Yes, we are an electronic assembly company and I have 15 electrical techs and 4 EE's that I'm sure are up to the task.

We have a full complement of soldering and de-soldering stations from PACE & Metcal. We routinely solder/de-solder down to the component level for through hold as well a SMT devices we can even handle bare (Flip-Chip) die, with standard reflow and an advanced short-time Laser reflow system for single die.

Yeah, I think we can solder a battery in place. I was just looking for help on how to open the clamshell without breaking anything and was wondering if any "special" tools would be needed to open it.

Thanks for the help

Small screwdriver, about 1/8". There are slots around the case, look at both sides, one side the slots will be marked with arrows. Insert the screwdriver and move the tab in the direction of the arrow while spreading the two halves apart with the fingers of your other hand. I usually like to start with the bottom corner that has the cable management hook because you can use the hook and spread the halves. Once you get it started it gets easier.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try this weekend as I suspect I will lose the program again once I power down and pull the module.

Well, if this were me I wouldn't want to start taking apart modules for something as mission critical as your phone system without a backup. Partner II processors are dirt cheap out there and I would seriously consider acquiring one before doing this just for peace of mind.

With old Partner systems, just powering them up and down a couple of times or even pulling modules will kill them.

If this system is important to you, take my advice.
