So, long story short, I was handed a GCW Zero system to see if I could do something to fix it.
From what they were describing to me, they believe that the battery in it is hosed, since it basically won't hold a charge. What they were able to find implied that the battery was soldered on; part of the reason they took it over for me to check out was in part because i'm probably the only one among my circle of friends with any kind of soldering tools.
Right now I'm just trying to get some ideas to see how operational it is before I even attempt to start any kind of repairs... and if it is just a matter of replacing the battery, how difficult it actually is for this machine?
I do admit, though, I've always been curious since first hearing about this unit. Never had one in hand until now...
