To replace battery on YH920. Remove 4 screws on back with jewellers screwdriver, gently lift off back.Carefully Lift out hardisk - its not fixed, just wedged in with a plastic surround. battery is then easily lifted out and the small plug can be disconnected. Make sure to note which way round the connector goes. Re-assembly is the opposite procedure. Replacement batteries are available from http://www.batteryupgrade.com/products.p...

All the best.

DON'T DO IT! I was SO EXCITED to find this post 2 days after it went up. It addressed exactly the problem I'd been having with my YH-920 (getting maybe 30-40 minutes off a charge). I ordered from the suggested supplier (not cheap at today's exchange rate) and eagerly tore into the project Thanksgiving night. Disassembling the player is as easy as advertised, but the replacement battery simply DOES NOT FIT the machine. Batteryupgrade.com advertises it as a replacement for the YH-920, and the package is stickered with the same information, but it's between 1/16th and 1/8th inch too long for the battery bay. Trying to make it work destroyed my MP3 player ("device can't initialize HDD," a message I still get after reinstalling the original battery). Now I'm trying to get a refund. Wish me luck.

No, it didn't work and I ended up throwing the device away. (I have hated Samsung electronics over the years.)

THANKS for the warning!!!

The solution sounds like a great one, with the right battery. Sorry you had a problem.

I just ordered a battery ($15.48 shipped) from licketysplitauctions on ebay. Seller guarantees refund, even for postage if it's not right.

So .. we'll see in a week or so if it's the right one.

YES! It is the right one! Order the battery from icketysplitauctions on ebay. (Seller guarantees refund, even for postage if it's not right.)

I put the battery in today, and the fit is perfect. It's an easy install, took about 5 minutes. Just be careful taking the harddrive in and out, per the earlier post. Also, be gentle with the battery leads when pulling it out.
