I think i may have found out a way to perserve user data on a m125 that when the batteries is changed - forces one to hard reset the device to get it back up and running...

:::
Before We Begin:

1.) I had some paper stuck in between the plastic and connectors :) as to keep the batteries in position just in case..oh! alright i was trying to no have to hard reset the device and tried it out..

2.) I used alkaline batteries for the test as I had to hard reset due to my rechargeables were almost out and i had to put some in the charger of which i didn't do...so hmmm

...

Okay - fairly simple:

A: Turn on the unit - yes u heard me turn the unit ON

B: Flip the unit over

C: Take out the top battery first and replace it as fast as you can with the newer one and make sure it is in before doing the next step...

D: now do the bottom battery...

Result: If all goes well, u'll see the palm logo and then it should show the prefs screen of which you've successfully saved all ur user data. :)
