Thank you for the guide! The part number for a replacement sensor appears to be PMS7003. There are some minor cosmetic differences but it appears to function correctly. I would suggest conducting a calibration routine / making sure the sensor is exposed to exterior air a few times over the next few days.
Do you know whether the Air Monitor works when removing the battery? My air monitor is constantly running hot (temperature shown is ~3 Degrees higher than room temperature and I suspect a bad battery to be the culprit. It also only holds a charge for few minutes after disconnecting from power. I'd like to remove it for peace of mind and also to be able to use the temperature sensor again.
Yes it works with disconnected battery.
What is the exact name of the battery type, so I can get a replacement?
My 1.5-year-old Qingping Air Monitor Lite works fine when plugged in to USB, but shuts off immediately when disconnected and it fails to turn on after holding the power button on the back of the unit, while disconnected from USB, which would turn it on a few months ago.
