Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

If your Edifier W820NB Plus will not charge or turn on, a faulty battery may be the cause. This guide will walk you through how to replace it. Be careful while removing the old battery. If punctured it could be quite dangerous. Make sure to take the old battery to a recycling center. Old batteries cannot be thrown away with regular trash.

This guide requires soldering. If you're unfamiliar with soldering, review the How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide and take appropriate precautions before beginning.
