Wow! Thanks for demystifying this!
Thank you for the guide as it is very helpful! Here is a replacement battery for the Amazon Tap:
Amazon Tap Replacement Battery
It even comes with the necessary tools to complete the repair.
Excellent.
made this very easy for me
Where does this leave us?? All taken apart and repaired, but with no way to purchase parts to replace the ones ripped apart during removal, nor the skills to put them on looking attractive with near the skills of the Chinese who probably build one of these things every 1.457 minutes at the factory!
Thank you. I was able to replace the battery. Your step by step guide was excellent. Though I could not fix the tip panel correctly I can operate its functions hands free. If show me how to fix top panel I WILL be appreciate
