Does anyone know where I can purchase replacement T5 screws that will fit the AHD?
Some of mine are starting to get stripped from opening it several times for the battery mod.
Thx

Has anyone heard of any powered cases coming out for the Droid 4? Similar to this for the Kindle Fire?
It is a bit silly the battery isn't removable. You can see it, you're just not supposed to touch it
Given it has contact points for the induction charger, it should be doable with a battery that integrates as a replacement back cover.
After the .905 update has made my Bionic's 4G connection as slippery as teflon, I've finally called Verizon and they're sending me a RAZR. SO, I have a basic desktop dock and an extra battery w/ charging cradle that I would like to sell. I also have a Seidio Surface Active case and a TP slip on case to sell as well.. maybe this would make a nice little starter pack for someone?
This should be posted in the marketplace.

I think it's my flex cable because it had been shutting the screen off when I would slightly move the keyboard open, and I would have to battery pull to get it on. I know the touch part of the screen worked because I could slide to unlock it like normal. I took it apart yesterday and it powers on but all that works is the backlight. I am gonna try taking it apart again and see if I can get it. But boo!
Seems it's a quite a common problem
Had the same problem 2 weeks ago and I found the cable with a tiny tear in it under that metal square cover that straps the cable to the metal slide plate. After a little while on ebay I bought a 32 gig s3 for 260 used. The old d3 just not worth it anymore

I wish I had the money for a phone that worked well on JB. I do like the D3 though.
Well my flex cable had a tear in it. That's probably why it was broke.
Mine was torn right above that in the bend

So you gonna fix it?
I'd need another cable or something. I found a D3 someone was selling on Craigslist that has a broken charger port. All I would have to do is swap motherboards and I should be good to go, or I could use my wife's phone to charge it.

Just replaced my flex with a $30 replacement off ebay.
$30 or $40
Edit: the title is a bit inaccurate, but it is related to the installation of the EB40 battery
I have found some helpful guides on the forum about the Atrix HD and using the EB40 from the Razr MAXX to extend battery life.
I just have a few questions, that werent really clear to me
-I found a few EB40 batteries on eBay. Which is the best to use, I found a 4000mAh (though the price of $24 seems a bit shady to me) and a ton of 3200/3300mAh batteries. I would imagine the higher mAH value would be better, is this true? Are they even legit, because I didn't see a whole lot, just the one from eBay (which like I said, had me skeptical).
-How do I "cleanly" make room for the EB40 battery? I want to be very careful with the dvice, and when I learned I had to cut some parts of the plastic, I got nervous. Can anyone give any good advice on how to do this properly as to not cause any permanent damage? I'm really nervous about the whole process really
ANY help is appreciated, thanks
First of all original razr maxx battery is 3200mAh not 4000mAh. I don't think that batteries are better than maxx's , but you can try if you want. You won't need to cut anything. I never did and used without any problems

I went with the original OEM 3200mAh Maxx battery
And thanks a lot for the reply. I haven't gotten my Atrix HD in the mail or the battery yet, but I was under the impression you had to alter the plastic in order to get the battery to fit. This is a relief though, thanks again
You could if you want I know did, because I didn't want to separate frame from housing so I could use the speaker

Installing EB40 is really easy to noobs.
First: go 2 youtube and type "motorola atrix HD disassembly" or google simply manual
Motorola-Atrix-HD-MB886-Disassemble-Guide.pdf
al you need is T5 torx screwdriver and plastic opening tool (or old sim or credit card with sharped corner)
Before disassembly heat backside by hair dryer, because there are a small adhesive patch inside.
carefully work around the perimeter of the phone.
After that unscrew 10 T5 screws and two screws battery tab, be carefull do not short circuit them both.
Take off rear chassis replace stock battery with EB40 and fit chassis back.
You will see that top side isn't sit well, just cut 1/3" with sharp knife and assembly all into reverse steps.
I'm done that with my MOTO Atrix HD, really easy, and got twin battery life
P.S.
Don't be foolish by chinese or some another 3rd party vendors that says 4000 or more mAh capacity. Try to find on eBay or amazon genuine EB40 battery or buy broken RAZR MAXX and pull out it from that donor
So my Nexus' battery has gotten deteriorated after so much usage. I used Accubattery to find out the rating and it showed 2500 mAh after a full charge, which I think is pretty bad. The problem is that there are is no Nexus market where I live. Even the local phone shops say they cant change it. So I was thinking about ordering the battery online and doing it myself. But sadly, the battery is internal and I have no experience whatsoever with electronics. Has anyone changed the battery themselves? What do you think I should do.
Pretty easy, if you buy a new one, don't buy a cheap replacement

Do you where i can find an original replacement online? Thanks (Dont know a lot about online ordering)
I guess eBay or Amazon, try to find a original one. May someone's here who already replaced one. I replaced it on my older phones, my nexus 6 battery is still good
I replaced mine a month ago. Not to difficult. The back cover is held on with double sided tape. Then 23 crazy small screws to remove. Thankfully they are all the same size. The 2 connectors to unclip from the main board and the mid frame hinges off from the top. The battery is glued onto the mid frame and the Qi charging coil is stuck on the battery. Carefully peel it off and put it on the new battery. Pay close attention to where you put it back as the connector end of the charging coil has to align with pads on the board. The replacement was bendable, and needed some tweaking to fit properly.
It took me about 45 minutes to complete.

Where did you purchase it from? I'm looking to replace mine too, but from the reviews I found many of them fail after a short period of time. Others lack reviews altogether. None of the Amazon listings look good to me and I don't know how legit the eBay ones are because it doesn't have reviews for specific products derived from specific sellers. The top two that seem the most legit to me are this eBay listing and Repairs Universe, from which I can't tell how legit it is.
Here's how mine held up today. I unplugged it at six this morning before I left for school and got home roughly an hour ago, so this is very close to not cutting it for me, especially on days where I'd have work in addition to school.
Got it on Amazon it was described as an OEM. Picked it out, screenshot to the GF, and it ended up under the Christmas tree.?

What battery did you end up getting? I see Repairs Universe... and Amazon as good places, but I don't want a bum battery.

I nearly stripped several screws using the larger Torx T4 driver recommended in this video instead of the T3 that fits these screws perfectly. I bought the replacement battery & T3 driver from eBay.
