great job,Sardy, thanks so much for these pics. I find a solution to my Dr1000 battery problem now. The orignal battery in my DR1000s is about 2 years old so I think I might need to replace it.
Would you show me where you actually order the battery and how much?I couldn't find it from it's website. Many thanks |

I ordered the new one here in Holland: http://nl.rs-online.com (search for art. nr. 446009). There might be an interesting alternative though: http://www.batteryspace.com/index.as...OD&ProdID=4358. Found this in an older Iliad thread. Looking at the dimensions i think it would fit at the top of the DR and because it's only 6 mm thick maybe you could avoid having to cut a hole in the case entirely. It would go on top of a small flatcable, i'm not sure if that would be a problem. I couldn't find this type of battery here in Holland, so i decided to try the Varta battery. If you're going to give it a try, be sure to have a look at the older thread (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46869) which i mentioned above. It was very useful to me too (thx kleykenb!). |

Since I am in america, It's slow to buy the battery from Eruo. I prefer to try the second one. But do they have the same port? I am also very interested in add a swith to the battery in case of leaking power(without reason) like you did, it's a great idea. I am going to find some more materials before I am doing it. Thanks so much for your help again!!!! |

Don't know what type of connector the big one from batteryspace has. My Varta battery had a different one, so i had to use the original connector. The wires were already cut and connected to the on/off switch because i had that installed earlier. The switch i used, came out of an old 56k modem. It was quite small, but i had to dremel away some plastic nevertheless to make it fit. I used some 2-component glue to keep it in place. The switch is a little inside the case, so it can't be pushed on or off accidentally. I made a small opening at the bottom near the usb connectors and the reset-button and use my stylus to switch it on and off.
Until now the batterry-gauge is still not very reliable. The DR switches off even when the indicator shows its not empty at all. I suppose it'll take some time. When it shuts down while i think it's not empty yet, i use the on/off switch. After starting up this way, the indicator will show a fully charged battery again. This way i get some extra hours of reading time. I only charge the battery when the DR doesn't start up anymore. Last edited by Sardy; 10-02-2010 at 08:01 AM. |

Sardy, was there no problem just after you changed the battery? I post a thread about the problem shown after changing the battery in my device. I don't know the exact cause so I don't know how to solve it - that's the real problem.
And, doesn't your device emit a little 'white noise'? I heard almost all of the devices emit a little 'white noise' from the inside of it in this forum. Did you see the source of the noise when you opened the device if yours also emit the noise? |

When it's real quiet i can hear that white noise too, seems to be a fairly common "problem". |
