Last Friday I had to open my TC for an emergency battery disconnect. Something to do with a clock speed mishap. :o

So I noticed a few interesting things while I was in there. (I would have taken pictures but I didn't have my digital camera handy)

-The battery is actually two separate Sony batteries wired into one connector.
-The glass for the digitizer actually extends the lenth of the keyboard. Odd note on this is that the keyboard does not use the digitizer but an array of little connections like a normal keyboard.
-The WiFi antenna is a wire run from the mini-WiFi card in the middle of the back of the unit up the stylus side and across the inside of the black plastic strip across the top.

Will it be easy to replace the batteries when it becomes necessary?

Very, they are taped to a metal plate with four wires going into one four contact plug into the motherboard. It is a bit of a puzzle to take apart and put back together but not more than a 15 minute job.
