I replaced the battery in my Note PRO (hint: easy job!)

My Note Pro is 2 years old and the battery needed to be replaced. I had to charge it every night and sometime it would freeze and I had to plug back again. I like my Note Pro but it's a shame that the battery doesn't last more than 2 years.

So, I had no choice but to replace the battery. Here's the one I ordered:

Its capacity is 6800 mAh compared to 4100 mAh for the original. Same physical size.

I used the following Youtube video as a base for the disassembly :

Taking the Pro apart is fairly easy. If you ever took an Ipad apart (done it several times), this is 10 times EASIER. Just take your time. After you remove the 2 screws, slide a metal blade around the 2 long edges and the top, then GENTLY pry the unit apart. When you will reassemble the unit, start at the top, paying attention to the little switch.

Once apart, you need to un-solder the 3 wires. If you look at my old battery compared to the new one, you will see that the wire colors don't match. I had to use my voltmeter and compare the 2 batteries to figure out the correct wiring sequence. I solder the wires and snapped the unit together starting at the top and never using brute force, being careful not to put stress of the e-ink panel. That went quite easily. If I didn't have to figure out the correct wiring, the whole process would have taken less than 30 minutes.

Power up the unit : SUCCESS!!!!

Here are a few pictures I took during the process
