Anyone know how to fit a new battery to a Tom Tom go 500?
Unit will have to be opened up,but there are no obvious means to do this.

Pop the screen surround off the device this is the silver part it can be prized away from the rear shell of the device using no more than thumb nails, once removed you gain access to the four torx screws to release the unit from the case, note torx bits that fit in to a screw driver won't be long enough you will need fairly long reach torx drivers for this.

I can take a unit to bits and post up a guide on how to do it if thats any use but it won't be tonight as my Torx bits don't fit! (I just tried and failed) - Mike
