This document could be improved by including information about where to acquire a replacement battery, and any modifications that might be required to a generic battery.

It was a huge mistake to peel away the ribbon cable. It needs matched up precisely and exactly in the same alignment as it was before during reassembly, an apparently impossible task once it’s been detached. I’d advise opening the halves in book form, leaving the ribbon cable as a hinge. Have about given up trying to position it.

Nice tutorial, except for the booby trap.

Yep, fell into this trap, too. The Nuvi powers up but no video. Can’t place the ribbon cabe just exactly so. Ugh.
