An enterprising handheld user took his own Tungsten E under the knife in order to fix a problem with the d-pad. He carefully took his TE apart and posted plenty of intestine pictures and a guide.

Not as dense as I suspected

I'm a bit surprised, stuff isn't packed in as densly as I expected. They really need more battery life on the colour models, i.e. need to get back to Palm V level of battery life. I've seen lots of people saying it just isn't possible. I would have thought that with a bit more integration (e.g. combine the Flash core with the CPU) that they could make space for a full length battery. It all comes down to cost, and ultimately number of units over which they can amortize costs, but from looking at the guts of this thing I do believe that it would be possible to make more volume available for the battery.
