Golden Werner \Menneisyys\ Ruotsalainen [MVP - Windows - Mobile Devices] 06-20-2006, 01:03 PM Sorry, ignore my previous post - the 39xx battery is not swappable. Isn't the sticker present on the 39xx back case any more? It's there that iPAQ's with non-swappable batteries (should) have their S/N. -- -- Werner "Menneisyys" Ruotsalainen - Microsoft MVP - Windows - Mobile Devices Please see the Pocket PC Mag Expert Blog (including mine) at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ - you will definitely like it.

It came with an app in the settings page called HP Asset Viewer. That shows the serial number (along with a bunch of other information), which must be burned in the ROM. John E.

My iPAQ 3950 also had this "Asset Viewer," but it doesn't say HP. I think my Compaq 3950 was made just before HP purchased Compaq. Anyway, I found my units Serial Number there. Regards, John E.

My iPAQ 3950 was the last Compaq iPAQ just before HP bought Compaq, if I understand correctly. It cost about $650.00 when it was introduced about four years ago. Also, I can find iPAQ 3950 batteries for sale on many different websites. Regards, John E. Golden Werner \Menneisyys\ Ruotsalainen [MVP - Windows - Mobile Devices] 06-20-2006, 11:14 PM The battery in the 39xx series isn't swappable. Those are replacement batteries - you need to open up the device casing to replace them. -- -- Werner "Menneisyys" Ruotsalainen - Microsoft MVP - Windows - Mobile Devices Please see the Pocket PC Mag Expert Blog (including mine) at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ - you will definitely like it.
