Hi, 1) Make sure the player is switched off and the hold switch is on.
2) Remove the screw from each side cover.
3) Remove the 4 screws from each end cap and then remove end caps.
4) The rear cover and side covers can now be removed and the battery removed from the rear cover.
Note: The battery will most likely to be stuck to the rear cover and care should be taken not to put excessive force onto the battery wires when removing the cover. The internal microphone is mounted on one of the side covers and care should also be taken with it so as not to damage the wires.
5) The hard drive can now be removed by lifting and gently pulling it out.
6) Remove the six screws holding the mother board to the front cover. the circuit board may now be removed.
It is a good idea to take note of the routing of the battery wires before removing the mother board.
7) Disconnect the molex plug from the board , this is made easier by lifting the rear of the plug as you remove it.
8) check the polarity of the new battery is the same as the original (they are rarely wrong and need changing).
If it requires changing the terminals can be released by lifting the tags as shown here in the h3xx battery replacement thread.

9) Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly taking note of the following:
a) Check the battery wires are correctly routed to avoid pinching and damage.
b) Check the hold switch slide is aligned with the switch when refitting the side cover.
Have a nice day......
