Introduction
If the power connector on the Xelio P1001A-BK tablet is damaged, it can be de-soldered from the motherboard and replaced with a new part. This is a 2.5mm x .7mm power plug which should be readily available from most electronic parts stores. The repair should take about one hour for the intermediate do-it-yourselfer.
Since the motherboard will be exposed, care should be taken to prevent short circuiting the power leads from the battery or allowing static electricity to damage the motherboard. An antistatic mat should be used if available.
Be patient and go slow with this repair as several small parts will be removed and the could be easily damaged or lost. A magnetic mat or parts tray is recommended to keep small parts together.
