Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓If your Evercade EXP (model FG-HHEX-HHC-USA) is no longer holding a charge, powering on intermittently, or shutting down unexpectedly, the internal battery may be worn out or faulty.

Before beginning, make sure the device is powered off and disconnected from any charging cables. Ensure the work environment is a clean, static-free environment and use the proper tools to avoid damaging internal components.
