Hi newbie here,
Seen this question posted before at numerous forums, but haven't seen a fix or resolution to it.

My Axim X3i was working perfectly, until I stopped using it for a month of so. The power was obviously completely drained and after charging it up again, I kept getting the "backup battery low" message. Battery status was showing "abnormal". Charged for 2-3 days and still showing 0% charged. Is my Axim dead? It's hardly been used. Sad thing is it's out of warranty.

Can the battery be replaced? Tried one of the rom updates, think A02, but didn't help. Left it charging for couple days and nothing. Just more or less want to know if I can replace the battery myself or is this thing toast. Dell refused to help me since out of warranty.

Would appreciate any help or advice.
thanks
