Changing the battery on a Tom Tom 500 is very fiddly and you can easily damage the circuit board especially if you do not know what you are doing. I know I've tried Embarassed Amongst other things you need to use different Torx screwdrivers etc. My advise is to send it to an expert to do the job properly or back to Tom Tom for replacement battery. (although this can be expensive). Check out http://www.mdsbattery.co.uk/shop/productprofile.asp?ProductgroupID=2358# It supplies replacement batteries for Tom Tom and a video link for installation.

Vandam I have a new un-opened battery if you would like to just pay for the postage it's yours PM me!

Good Luck

This may be of some help. It's actually a thread detailing instructions to replace a battery in a 300 but there should be similarities.

Unfortunately, the links to the photos in the thread are dead now BUT there is a link to a UK site for batteries that is live.

Hope it helps somewhat.
