Le Pan S Battery Replacement

Introduction

If the battery is too low for the device to turn on, replacing the battery may be necessary. If the device does not turn on after charging, the battery is most likely completely dead. When a battery is completely discharged, it oftentimes cannot be recharged. In this case, the battery is dead and needs to be replaced. No special skills or tools will be needed in order to complete this guide.

    • Disconnect the battery from the circuitry and lay it out of the way.

    • The best method to complete this is to pull the bundled cable connector out with your hands. Pull towards the wires and away from the electrical board. Use the spudger to further coax the cable out.

    • If you are replacing your battery, make sure to dispose of it properly.

Hi Timothy, Did you ever find out where to purchase a battery for your Le Pan S tablet?

But what do I do when it's not the battery, but is the charger is so loose in the tablet, it won;t charge. Once in a while, I can get it to come on if I happened to hold the charger just right. So disgusting. Can this be fixed.? i have purchased two LePans and neither will charge.
