Dell tech support is clueless about the issue. I find it hard to believe no one else has called them about this.

I'm not going to solder anything, so what can I do?

Here's a few solutions:

Get some chicken bones and drench them in goats blood. Now set the X5 down in the center of a ouija board and form a pentagram with the bones around the X5. Leave it sit there for 666 minutes and your battery problems might go away.

Spend some big $$$$$ on a new PDA.

Use the solution that Joe gave you for a 100% cure...but since you're "not going to solder anything" you'll need to pay someone to do the simple 5 minute task for you.


Face the facts, your X5 is simply BROKEN and Joe gave you the solution. Saying you're not going to solder anything is like having the fuel pump fail in your car and then demanding that FORD give you another simple solution over the phone to get it running again...oh maybe like pressing some buttons on the radio for that magic cure.
