I bought my nicad from Birt. So yes.

I think I have figured out how the one in the second picture goes on
the bottom of the back of the keyboard PCB. The one in the first
picture is very strangely shaped and still mystifies me. BTW they were
removed because I took everything off of the front piece to
retrobright it.
It doesn't look as if my caps are leaking, although I may not know
what to look for. I hate to say it but it looks like too big a job for
me, I'd like to not wreck my unit.
I think I will replace the nicad tho. With a brand new one right?

Those look like the plastic bars on the top and bottom of keyboard
PCB. Not sure why they would have been removed though.
I would recommend replacing the caps and battery. If the caps have
not been replaced, they are leaking and eating aways at the PCB.
Every M100 I have taken apart has had leaking caps. Oddly, every
T102 I have taken apart does not have leaking caps.

I will try to open my M100 today so I can get you a photo, but
before you close up - please replace the NICAD. Any Nicad that
hasn't split corrosive goop all over the board is literally
waiting till tomorrow, or next week to do so - It is not a case of
it isn't going to happen, as one of it simply hasn't happened yet!
Even if you don't have a replacement - simply removing it is critical.
Kindest regards,

Have you ever felt that you are better at taking things apart
than at reassembling them? I took apart my Model 100 to look
into recapping it. Then I read about replacing the three
resistors, and, in fact, I have had some serial port problems,
although I don't really know that is the issue. I have been
flaking off on finishing the job for a while, being
overwhelmed by life, my apartment being an oven and so on.
Yesterday I finally knuckled down and installed the 330 ohm
resistors. I decided to quit while I'm ahead and not try to
recap it, although the nicad measures 2.25 so I might replace it.
Could you tell me where these two pieces go?
