Hi, Brian,
Oh, yeah, an 800 degree soldering iron, we've all got one of those, and
we all know how to use them, right? heh heh
No, I was not planning to try to replace a battery by myself, and I
guess I was wrong, it is more difficult than it sounds. Aren't there any
plans to make it easier so that we could indeed change the battery ourselves
sometime in the future, thus cutting down on the workload for those
overworked techs, especially in the summer months?
Just a thought...
Alice

Ottawa Canada
Dear Alice and List:
The BrailleNote/VoiceNote require shop service to replace the
battery. This is because it is connected to the battery wires by
soldered connections.
If you had a suitable battery, don't mind voiding your PMA if you
have one and are a real hot shot with an 800 degree F. soldering
iron, you could open the unit up and replace it yourself.
But if you make a mistake and your beloved BN is toast, don't say
you weren't warned!
Just do a backup of your important files before you send your
unit in for battery replacement. This also gives the techs an
opportunity to generally inspect the unit and advise if Braille
display cleaning or other service is required or just
recommended.
Hope this answers your questions fully.
Brian
