Introduction

The guide will take you through the process of replacing a dead or defective battery in a Pipo Smart S1 tablet.

What you need

Insert an iFixit opening tool between the body and display of the tablet at the bottom of the device where the charging port is.
Slide the tool along the gap you are creating, moving to the right direction against the mini USB port.

Lift the white tape with your fingers, then lift the yellow tape that holds the battery extension.

On the bottom of your tablet, use the Phillips #0 screwdriver to take the two 3mm screws out.

Ask FixBot

Lift the headphone jack and move it to the other side, placing it on the surface you are working on.

Ask FixBot

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.

Ask FixBot

Lift the battery and place it a little further away from the positive and negative battery wires.

Ask FixBot

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.

Ask FixBot

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.
