Hi arroba,
thanks for your reply! Yes, I also saw the socket at the end of the wires. So do I need to pull out the entire socket? Or just the wires? In my device the wires seem to be firmly fixed...but I'll try to gently remove the socket then...

Edit:
By gently pulling the wires without to much force I mananged to remove them from the socket. After one hour I connected the battery again and charged the reader for about 8 hours. Now it works again. Seems the battery had fully drained. But I'm still puzzled why the battery had to be disconnected and then reconnected beforce charging...
