well if theres no parts…then theres no point…
So, where do I get a replacement battery from? Does anyone know the part number?
This helped me ALOT. i had a controller stop charging or powering on. Decided to use this guide to pull just pull power and re seed the connection for the battery. The Battery connection IS NOT CLIPPED IN. TAPE holds down the connection to the terminals. So it can easy come loose over jolts and shocks or normal use
battery is 3.85vdc 960ma
HTC model boplh100
3.69Whr
Part number 35H00244-00M
With all the comments and steps, I easily took apart and rebuilt my controller. Thank you!!
Also, I used this cheap repair kit they sell at walmart if you dont have the tools and don't want to order them online.
