About LinkBacksJust got my X and made a big mistake right out of the box - 'pulled' the yellow pull tab in the battery compartment and kept pulling until the that entire piece peeled off (thought it needed to be removed so that the battery would make contact). So, then put the battery in and .... of course ... it will not power on. The only 'how to remove battery' info I'm finding says 'it's easy - just pull the yellow tab'! Does anyone know how to remove the battery when the yellow tab is no longer there (other than just prying with a screwdriver or such)?
Yikes, has anyone else done this?
thanks.

08-24-2010 11:28 AMTake it into Verizon. They are sending out replacements for people that cut off the battery pull tab. Just don't do it on the replacement...

08-24-2010 12:31 PMLuckly, I dug mine out of the wastebasket and put it back after I used one of those cheap eye glass screwdriver sets you see in some Dollar stores. Luckly it popped out the battery and I could replace the tag.

08-24-2010 12:36 PMWhy not? That tab is just a removal device right? Pulling it completely out should have nothing to do with the battery making contactSo, then put the battery in and .... of course ... it will not power on. -

08-24-2010 12:48 PMHehe... not sure why people are ignoring the "DO NOT CUT" warning on the tab.
I find it funny, though. I mean, I'm sorry for the inconvenience people are going through with it and all, but it's just funny that so many ignore the warning. I mean, what goes through your mind when it says "DO NOT CUT?" Do you think to yourself; "Okay, I will just rip it off instead!"?
Hehe, sorry. Not intending to insult anyone. You have to admit that it's funny as hell, though. -

08-24-2010 01:01 PMHaha I did the same thing when I got my x ....but found it yesterday actually. What I was doing in the mean time was using a pointy knife tip and slipping it to the top corner where the tab should be.I found it easy to remove that way...lucklly the tab still stuck on the back when I found it....

08-24-2010 01:10 PMWell, it does say "PULL" on it...followed by the do not cut symbol... Originally Posted by Section Twelve
