Ematic Model FTABMP2 Battery Replacement
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 4 Steps
Get ready to swap out the battery on your Ematic Model FTABMP2, a kid-friendly tablet that’s not-so-friendly when it won’t power on. If the device is giving you the silent treatment, it’s time for a fresh battery. You’ll need a trusty opening tool and a 60-watt soldering iron to get the job done.
Step 1
– Grab your trusty spudger and work it along the long edge of the case—gently but firmly. Like peeling open a secret compartment, this will give you a look inside!
Step 2
– Press the sides of the clamp together to gently disconnect the LCD cable from the motherboard, effectively splitting the device into two. Nice work!
Step 3
– Alright, let’s get started! First, grab your trusty screwdriver and remove the screws securing the motherboard. Once that’s done, gently pop off those plastic power and volume buttons—like peeling stickers but way more satisfying.
– Next up, slide off the two side grips—think of it like peeling the shell off a high-tech candy bar. Now you’re ready for the grand move: carefully lift out the motherboard, speaker, and battery as one unit from the device. Take a deep breath, you’re doing great!
Step 4
– Time to free that battery! Heat up your soldering iron and carefully detach the gray, black, and red wires from the motherboard. Once they’re unsoldered, the battery is good to go.
