Hello everybody,
As mentioned my pictured contribution, which could maybe helpful for others, having this anoying battery problem.
Let's start all over (click preview pics to enlarge):
1.) Turn the PB IP3 front side down on a smooth underlay.
2.) Whith a soft guitar pick (thanks to 'VladimirS') you try to insert the tip of the pick between the back cover and the device. If you look closely - or feel it with the fingernails - you find a small notch going around the whole device.
3.) Try to insert die gp quite in the middle of one of the long sides. If you do not succeed, try 1cm shifted, probably you hit exactly one of the plastic bits which hold the cover. Dont try to force, or you will kill the plastic bit (as 'MciMc8' mentioned.)
4.) After you're in with the gp some few millimeters (2-3mm), you might now have to insert something not that soft as the gp in the slot. I used a laboratory spatula ('VladimirS' used his Credit Card). FORGET to use a knife! - You will cut everything, due to its plastic.)
5.) Then move slowely down the long side of the device. After about 3cm you feel a restistance (this is the next plastic bit). Stop there, and turn around slightly the cc or spatula, to uplift the bit, an you can continue like that the whole long side down.
6.) I did first both longsides, then the both short sides, an at last the edges.
7.) Done! And thats what I see:
8.) Have to know how these Li-Po Batteries are coded (thank you russian guys from the mentined website!). So I got in my device a Battery of 3.7V, 1900mA with the dimensions Thickness 31mm, Width 65mm, Lenght 78mm.
The maximum you can try ist 80 of 65 and the thickness - im really not shure - could be about 4-5mm.
And thats how the LiPo ist connected to the Device (Yes, thank you again 'VladimirS'): Two pins not three!
So i come to to my further Questions:
- Where do I find/order online an appropriate battery? (I found so many, but all of them have been above thickness of 5mm)
- I have no ides how to remove the battery out of the device, wihout braking the display? (Due to the LiPo is fixed on the backside of the screen with a kind of glue. Do you have any Tipps or Tricks? As I tried to start to lift of the Lipo the screen starte to bend dramatically.
- Do I have to consider for a replacement the exact 1900mA (of course the 3.7V are mandatory) oder is it possible also to replace the LiPo with a 2700mA, oder a 3200mA? (@MciMc8: A 10'000mA? Howth handle warming, by fan?
I would appreciate very well your answers and great that this community is still that active!
Best regards and happy Weekend.
