I did a bit of digging through my dust-collectors and found my old classic pandora. I remembered vaguely, there was a battery problem, which I didn't solved.

As I was fiddeling around a bit, I located the problem: the contacts of the case and battery are miss-aligned (orange line, it's a bit hard to see in the pic, but when I remove the cover an push the battery (left in the pic, to the front in the pandora) it boots!

So the question is how do I fix that properly? I guess the position of the board is fixed, so I was asking myself: are the soft pads on the sides originally?
(can't remember, if I put those or if I got that pandpra used..)

Anyways, if I push the batter against the green circled pad (squeezing it a bit) are aligning.

My ideas:
a) remove that pad and maybe double it othe other side
b) glue the battery into the lid in the right positioin

Sidequest: is there a way to fit the pyra battery into the pandora? (and has the pandora the tech specification to fully charge the 50% bigger v´battery?)

As far that I read the Pyra batteries should be compatible with the Pandora, but are a bit larger, so it's possible that some force is needed to fit them inside ...

The next time I'll remove the battery I'll try if them really fit.
