Nice tutorial on how to replace the battery. That was quite easy to follow. Thanks.

Gonna go ahead and order that new battery. With garlic being close to feature complete the only thing this device has going against it is battery life. If I can get another hour or two out of it I'd be a happy camper!

well at least they increased the battery size. Not sure about the triggers though, my new 'new rg35xx' hasn't arrived yet.

Hey bro, appreciate the video. I just wanted to mention a few notes performing this upgrade. First, the bottom clips are near impossible not to bend. I bent 3 out of 4 while following your tip. That is to say, you NEED super glue for this mod. Even if you don’t “snap” a clip, even just the slightest bend will cause issues. My 4th clip was loose, despite looking fine, such that shoulder presses caused the button to shift left and right instead of pushing inward. For this reason, I snapped this unbent clip on purpose. Applying a small drop of super glue by the clip (you just need enough to fill all crevices, not much), letting it fill the full crevice of the clip (with help from a push pin) and then pushing the clip firmly in place as everything dried locked everything in place very effectively. Doing this with the clip that I had to snap actually locked it in much better. The little clips on the bottom, for the housing, are tough not to snap as well. No big impact if these break off. Overall still glad I did the mod. These shoulder buttons feel so much better. Just a bit of “buyer beware”.

Final note, my R2 button is spongey. After super gluing the clip and re-attaching the shoulder it looked absolutely perfect, but upon further inspection it’s still more wiggly than the other 3. Any amount of wiggle seems to translate into a spongey button with no travel, it shifts when you press instead of pushing in. Before you re-assemble, check to make sure the buttons don’t wiggle at all. The switch will give you all the action and click, you don’t want the shoulders to move in the slightest. The only solution I have at this point is to snap the top clip, super glue, and hold it in very firmly. The shoulders need to be locked in TIGHT.

Press 'Select' until you don't see the dashes anymore. You're running the 35XX in low performance mode. Likewise, if you press Select and see '+' symbols, then that means you're overclocking the CPU (which isn't really needed). Leaving it in default mode will adjust the CPU as needed for what you're playing. The benefit of underclocking/low performance, is to have better battery life, but again, leaving it on default should still be best, as it will drop CPU performance when it doesn't need that extra power.
