crwdns2942287:0crwdne2942287:0If your Digiland DL1168A tablet often overheats, charges slowly, shuts down suddenly, or doesn't hold a charge as well as it used to, it may be time to open it up and replace the battery. This is not a hard repair, but you will need an iFixit opening tool and a soldering iron (see Tools list).
Be safe while soldering: work on a fire-resistant surface in a well-ventilated area, wear fire-resistant clothes that cover your arms and legs, and use eye protection.
Work carefully, as the battery is held in place with strong glue that is difficult to get off. If the battery is swollen, be extremely careful, as damaging a swollen battery could release toxic gas and/or start a fire.
Always use caution when working with electrical components. Shut the tablet completely off before starting, back up your data, and have a fireproof container (such as a bucket of sand) on hand to safely store the dead battery.
Never throw a battery away with general waste. Find a recycling center or electronic retailer who can dispose of them safely.
