The following instruction guide may be used to replace the TomTom Go 600 Battery.
1. Begin by turning your TomTom face down and lifting the four rubber ends to access the 4 screws on the back of your TomTom Go 600. Remove the four screws.
2. Next using the pry tool carefully lift off the grey plastic cover/frame from the front of your TomTom.
3. Next remove the grey plastic housing from the base of your TomTom.
4. Now remove all 6 screws from securing the circuit board. 2 of the screws will under the GPS receiver chip therefore after you remove the first 4 you will need to gently unseat the GPS receiver chip to access the final 2 screws.
5. Now using your pry tool carefully lift up the circuit board. You will not be able to completely lift the circuit board off as there will be 2 connectors holding the board to the base of the unit. You will need to detach these 2 connectors first – one of the connectors is your battery.
6. After the connectors have been detached turn the TomTom over and press in the screen clips (these clips hold screen in place – pressing them in will release the screen) so you can lift the screen using the pry tool.
7. Once the screen is separated you will see that a gold ribbon is connecting the screen to the board so be careful not to tear that ribbon.
8. Next remove the 2 black plastic clips on either side of your TomTom – these clips are held in by 1 screw and hold the TomTom's harddrive in place.
9. Now lift the hard drive out of it compartment and set aside.
