My Problem

Battery was not holding a charge

My Fix

All went well until one of the tiny 1.5 mm screws refused to budge.I used a piece of plastic film (sandwich bag) between head off phillips and screw to get it to unscrew. That did suceed .However then the screw went airborne as the battery wire connector plate came free. I had to order screws to get that one screw to finish job.

My Advice

If screws seem stuck one can use a rubber or plastic film between phillips head and head of screw to achieve grip and to reduce risk of stripping screw.

How ever as these screws are very low weight it takes little force to have them flip off of work area and disappear onto floor. Recommend working inside an area like a large file box lid to decrease screw loss risk.
