Hi,
if the problem is the battery, I have some replacement battery kit for your iLiad. The batteries are not new, but in very good condition.
If you have a minimal technical knowledge, or you can ask for help to a friend, you can check the battery status in this way:
1) remove all the torx T6 screw in the back
2) carefully remove the back cover. There are two cables connecting the back to the main board. The first s the speaker, the second is the battery pack. First remove the speaker, then the battery.
3) now you can check the batteries glued on the back. The battery kit is composed by two battery pack and one board. Thera ere two kind of these assemblies: the older has the batteries soldered directly to the board, the newest has the batteries connected to the board with a red/black detachable cable.
4) Check the battery integrity: both battery must look as flat, rectangular, silver pack. If one or both are swollen or broken, then the battery is gone.
5) test the battery efficiency: with a digital tester, check the voltage of both batteries. The voltage of each battery should be between 2.7 volts and 4.1 volts. Another very important thing is that the voltage MUST be equal in both batteries.
The batteries are good IF the voltage is >= 3V AND both voltages are identical.
A battery is damaged IF their voltage is < 2V.
The batteries are damaged IF the voltage are not identical.
Now:
As I stated, in the Museum we have some batteries for you. Anyway, the battery must be replaced both, to ensure a correct balance in the voltage.
But the bigger problem is how to send to you. The Li-Ion batteries are dangerous goods, must be declared in shipment and cannot fly (for a strange law, only if the battery travels alone, not inserted in an instrument… Bah!)
I will check for available shipment method.
Please let me know what kind of battery are installed in your iLiad (soldered or not)
Thanks
Luke
