Pipo Smart S1 Battery Replacement
The guide will take you through the process of replacing a dead or defective battery in a Pipo Smart S1 tablet.
Step-by-step instructions
2
- Gently pry the body of the tablet and pop the back cover open.
- Lift the back cover of the device and place it on the side.
3
- Lift the edge of the white tape with the iFixit opening tool.
4
- Lift the white tape with your fingers, then lift the yellow tape that holds the battery extension.
5
- On the bottom of your tablet, use the Phillips #0 screwdriver to take the two 3mm screws out.
6
- Lift the headphone jack and move it to the other side, placing it on the surface you are working on.
7
- Use a spudger to pry the battery and detach it from the glue underneath it.
- Be careful not to pinch the battery—lithium batteries are hazardous and prone to short circuiting, and thus burning and/or exploding.
8
- Lift the battery and place it a little further away from the positive and negative battery wires.
9
- Using your soldering iron, melt the two lead spots to detach the wires.
- The soldering iron is extremely hot, so handle with caution. Always keep the soldering iron holder next to you when using it so you can return it easily.
- When reassembling, make sure you solder the right pole to the right spot on the circuit board, as swapping them can burn the motherboard.
10
- Remove the two wires. Then remove the battery completely from the device.
- Make sure you tape the negative and positive battery wires to keep them from short-circuiting.
Conclusion
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
