Won't charge, I may be screwed :(

I’m in the exact same boat as you.

Already posted about it 2 weeks ago. No replies as of yet.

Sorry that I can’t help you out, just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone with this problem.

 

As far as I know the i7 Stylus utilizes two battery packs.

Maybe we could go about replacing those, since the originals seem to be completely busted from changing the polarity.

I ended ordering a used one from eBay, which should be arriving today. I guess on the up-side, I will have two keyboard docks, two chargers, and a ‘parts bin’ of the fried tablet to scavenge parts from if there’s any further issues down the road.

I will keep tinkering with the fried one and let you know if I figure anything out. Since you mentioned the batteries, I think i’ll pull them out and test them on my bench-top lithium battery charger, to see if they are working. I suppose it’s possible there is an internal protection fuse wired in the pack that I need to find. Probably wishful thinking 🙂
