35s loose battery cover--need replacement
Message #1 Posted by Mark W on 3 Nov 2008, 9:25 a.m.

For some reason the battery cover on my fairly new 35s was always a bit loose, and finally just fell off somewhere...lost.

Has anyone else experienced loose battery covers on their 35s?

Hp doesn't sell replacements--anyone have a dead 35s (I hope not, this early!) or that can otherwise spare the battery cover?

Make a new one.

Luiz made a battery cover for a Pioneer some years back. I think he used plastic from plastic models (polystyrene).

It looked pretty good!

Or, there is always Duck Tape!

I was somewhat hoping to avoid a sticky tape solution...assuming I can't get another, I'll have to look into fabricating something, which would kind of suck.
