HQRP Replacement Battery Palm Tungsten E2 PDA + Screwdriver + HQRP Universal Screen Protector

I had used this battery replacement to resurrect my Tungsten E2 which I thought had bit the dust several months ago. It was not charging properly at the time (this was after about almost 2 years of use) - not able to do a full charge. And I noticed the charge wearing out rather fast. Finally, one day I could not turn it on nor reset at all, charger or not. I appreciate the other reviews which pointed me to this product -- it saved me over $150 to buy a new PDA. You definitely need to buy this version that has the special screwdriver with it. And I highly recommend what others said about looking at youtube videos on how to replace it. I did the replacement in about 30-40 minutes. The only minus was that I used a sharp knife to split open the inside and the result was leaving a few scratchmarks on the sides (I couldn't find another object to wedge it open and you can't use the screwdriver itself for that task). But has no effect on performance. $13 dollars vs $150 -- it was worth the gamble to see if the battery replacement would bring back my PDA and I have no regrets. Battery works awesomely and has plenty of long lasting power before a charge is needed. The one caution is that you'll need to reset the PDA (as instructed on various online instructions) which can mean losing your data. But hopefully you've already backed it up on a computer via a sync before it went down. SCREEN PROTECTOR - This is a nice bonus to it. This however took me almost a half hour to place on right -- mostly figuring how to cut the cover and reinforement layers correctly so that it fits snug on the display window. Once done it works well. You might have to tap slightly harder to register, but I don't think I have to do that anymore. And you definitely want to be sure to get out all the air bubbles as much as you can (as per instructions).

Fair price, runs well, holds a charge and no problems right from the get go. Good replacement for your Palm Tungsten E2.

This really was a snap to do. The screwdriver is a key to making it easy so if you don't have the special screwdriver be sure to order this package since the screws of the E2 have a unique slot. The hardest part is separating the two halves and if you are just patient and work around the edges slowly it separates nicely and is no problem in putting in the new battery and closing the E2 back up. Even if you have never done it before you are looking at no more than ten minutes tops from start to finish. I used a very small common tip screw driver to separate the halves but some people use the blade of a pocket knife. Just don't push it in too far and work it around the whole parameter. If I can do it anyone can do it. The new battery worked perfect and presto I have long term battery life again.

My old Palm Tungsten E2 was not holding a charge for more that a few minutes. I've had the E2 since Dec 2002 and did not want to toss it - so glad to find a replacement battery. The battery is pretty easy to replace, but be sure to view the You Tube video before replacing - the four minute one with the background music is the best for step by step instructions. Thanks to the other buyers for the info on the videos. The original screw driver that I received was the wrong size, but the seller sent the correct mini screw driver after I emailed some photos of the back of the Palm and screw driver head. Don't know why some of reviewers mentioned soldering the battery in. On mine, the battery wire lead had a tiny square end part that snapped into place. The E2's little "on" button fell off as I was putting everything back together, but it was easy to put back in place before replacing the screws. Just take your time and your old Palm will have a new life.

I got this item today. The battery is fine -exactly how I needed. The screwdriver is awesome, too. But... where the heck is the 'Universal Screen Protector'? It wasn't on my package! The only thing I've got beside these two items is a plastic bag -and I know for real that IT IS NOT THE SCREEN PROTECTOR. However, I just needed the battery. Put the screen protector on your next order, guys, if you want us to stay confident in your products.

I bought this item because the battery in my five-year-old Palm Tungsten E2 was barely holding a charge anymore. I was pleased to learn that this item included more than just a new battery. It also included detailed instructions for disassembling the Palm, along with the special tool needed to undo the screws holding the Palm together. The Tungsten E2 is not easy to disassemble, but the provided instructions made it relatively simple. Now, the charge in my Palm lasts nearly as long as it did when the device was new, saving me the cost of having to buy a new PDA. For the price, the battery along with the instructions and tool are already a great deal, but Osprey-Talon went the extra distance by adding in a screen protector. Unfortunately, the protector did not work well for me, as my Palm stopped sensing the stylus with the thing on. However, even though the screen protector didn't work out for me, I still consider this item a great deal for the price. If the only thing wrong with your Palm Tungsten E2 is the battery, this replacement battery kit can save you a very considerable amount of money compared to replacing your PDA.

I've had the battery in my previously short energy Palm TUngsten E2 for a couple of weeks and it has lenghtened the time I can use it. I can't say by exactly how much b/c I didn't fully drain the old one then start it to see how long it lasted; this is my observation based on how often I have to recharge it now.But my Palm works just fine. The battery did not short it out or cause it to work funny or anything like that. As other people have indicated, the instuctions are only part of what you need to know to insert it. Watch a Youtube video first and be prepared to feel like you are breaking it: there is a lot of breaking plastic sound. Also, keep prying gentlly around the edges when you are pulling it apart - I got frustrated in one place and now have a slight divit in the case because I turned what I was using to pull the two sides a part instead of continuing to use the flat edge to continuly "pop" the two pieces apart. I found that a very thin small knife blade worked well for the prying part - it has to pretty slim to get into the space it needs to. Once it is apart the wire from the old battery (on the top part) to the connection (on the bottom part) is about an inch and a half long, so don't just open them up quickly. Finally, Keep The Bottom Part Flat At All Times. I mean it. I didn't and the whole plastic assmbly at the top for turning it on and off fell out. It took me 20 minuets just to reassmble that part. If you can, have small nimble fingers and a high tolerance for finicky work.

Perfect replacement for the palm Tungsten E2, it even came with a screwdriver for the back of the case, easy in easy out. Took me about 10 minutes. I highly recommend this replacement battery.
