what does the backup battery back up

Recently bought a very nice used axim x3. As seems to be a common problem, the backup battery is shot. I wanted to know exactly what this battery backs up? The unit works great except for the brief message when I turn it on that the battery is no good. I don't plan on using the device for long periods of time away from the charger or let the regular battery to go down to 0%. If, for instance, I took out the regular battery, without being hooked up to the power cord, what would I lose on the device? Is it just system stuff like time, date, etc. or would I lose installed programs with data, etc...thanx

If you lose power, the device will hard reset, the equivalent of resetting to factory settings! Get a new backup battery, they are not expensive!

In my x30, where is the backup battery located?

On my X5 there is a slot for a CR2032 but on the X30 where is it?

Thanks

It's located internally, you have to crack the case. There's a whole heap of pulldown instructions at this site.

I don't like that, I seem to destroy things if I take them apart as I never have the correct screwdrivers etc.

Thanks for the like. Will give it a read.

Not a hard job, just a lot of tiny little screws....I did mine when I had the same unit. Once you are in it is really a simple job. Many pictures online to look at. Just google it if you can't find it on here.....

Without it being much trouble, does anybody no what type it is, so I can buy one in before stripping it.

Thanks

Here's a link to PDAsmart.com, the cost of the battery is twenty dollars. They do repairs as well. PPC Techs also sell a toolkit, with what you need to pull it down
