Touch Running the STR *without* a battery?

edent · 08-27-2015, 02:30 PM

So, my battery puffed up and I've removed it.

While I'm waiting for the slow boat from China to bring me a replacement battery, is there any way I can get it to run? Popping a USB cable in turns the LED on - but I can't power it up.

I don't know how to run the ereader without its battery, but I DO know that a bloated battery like that one could start a fire or even explode! So handle it carefully, and dispose of it properly. Don't just put it in the trash.
