Hi Mark, I have a quick question. I have an antique TND500 (I know it's outdated, but right now it's all I've got and it works-kinda. Hoping to upgrade to a 730 soon) and I was wondering if the battery was serviceable and if it's something I could do?
The problem I am having with it is when it's cold, whenever it speaks the directions or warnings it shuts down. I can drive for 2 hrs with the defrost turned on high to direct best to it to warm it up and it still shuts down until it will eventually stay on. But even then I have to keep the heat on it or the next time it speaks it will shut down and I have to go thru the whole process of warming it up again.
Just recently I tried turning off the volume and that has stopped it from shutting down so I no longer need to suffer heat stroke, but it sucks not being able to hear it. I've noticed for a while now that whenever it speaks the power light will flash red, so that has me wondering about the battery. That and it does not work at all if its not plugged in.
So the question of the day is...can I replace the battery?
Thanks for your help. -
Be sure to turn the old battery in for recycle. Any hardware store has a drop in box for batteries.
Thanks,

Mark, has the fix for the 730 locking up issue been released yet?

Did you do a D/R yet when connected to the Dock?
