Step 5Inductive Coil
I decided to use a Palm induction kit because it was all over the internet and being used by a lot of different modders for other phone models. I paid 30 bucks for the kit (touchstone and backing plate) and found it for about the same or cheaper on Amazon. Just remember that you will need a Palm desktop charger... I tried it with a BB and a Motorola charger and they all would start charging and then stop... So I would really suggest a Palm charger..
If you didn't mark or remember which wire is which don't worry. As long as you have a multimeter just plug a charger into the phone and test which one is positive and which is negative.
I am doing this instructable after first doing this so I do not have any pictures of pulling the coil off of the old backing... But it is simply like a sticker... Pick a corner pull it up and pull it off... There are two layers the black layer you can see and a silver layer underneath it.
After you have it off just put the back of your phone on the touchstone charger and find a spot where it feels like it fits well. I orginally had mine almost at the bottom but decided that I liked it up a bit more.
You can add a bit of superglue to make sure it goes no where but I found the left over glue from pulling it off worked great.
After you have it mounted place the backing plate on the touchstone and check which lead is positive and which is negative. Then solder you connections accordingly. I didn't put anything over them but if you want feel free to place some electrical tape over it and you are all set.
