JAmerican Why Does Palm Disappoint? Join Date: Aug 2004 Posts: 5,909	Hey guys... not to disappoint all the UX EB40 users but I have some pictures of the REAL EB40 battery... Thanks for all the info Hippo. Could you give us a list of all the parts you bought and some instuctions on how to create our own. I'd really like to try this. I've noticed that my EB40 battery has been dying very quickly and want more power. Thanks.

How did you setup the middle connections in the JC40? Where did you connect the sprig cnnectors to?

Nykopol Immortalité et Matrice Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: France Posts: 30	I ahve just bought a chager cradle on eBay. I think I am going to try this modification The only thing is that I have my UX since few days and I am not sure it is a safe idea to open it and make some changes in it. What will happen if I do not re-solder Pin 2 to V+ ? I follow KEVIN88GT : may you Hippo could show us the procedure in more detailed way ? Thanks anyway for the idea.

Hippo 河馬 Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: HK Posts: 147	opening UX50 & mod JC40 is risky but if do not re-solder Pin 2 to V+, just not working at all here is the photos all took before I sealed my JC40 I'm sorry that it can't be re-open for taking photo anymore http://photobucket.com/albums/v95/takuki_/PEG-UX50/ Last edited by Hippo : 02-05-2005 at 08:50 PM.
