My Problem
Poor engineering on HP side enables user to put TouchPad Tablet into sleep-of-death. Translated: If you leave you device in sleep mode the battery can drain completely and then can NOT be charged. The internal charging circuitry relies on the internal battery having some charge.
My Fix
Followed instructions and used the purchased tools to open and get the battery out. I then tried to charge the battery without success. Battery reads 0v after several hours and permutations of charging externally.
1) Looking for new replacement battery
2) Will update the iFix guide with advice on rebuilding machine as like the guide suggested the clips will break.
My Advice
MUST use strong Metal Spudgers. Read and review guide text and pictures closely.
