This procedure is totally unnecessary! TDK has much simpler instructions. http://downloads.imationsupport.com/lor/…

Actually, this page DID help me as the other “simpler” instrucions didn’t work, as I was unable to slide the battery cover after removing the two screws.In any case the entire procedure only took about ten minutes, so THANK YOU!
