Some tablets can be tricky to dismantle. You can try to separate the front from rear case. The battery is usually connected with a connector, rather than soldered in, but there is no guarantee. It is also often glued to either the case back or the board itself, or some other internal structure. You may be able to find a replacement, but they are not really generic, like a C cell, AAA battery or a CR2035 coin cell. Once you get it apart, try to find a number on the battery itself and search for that, or by make/model of the tablet.

 

I think this is more than I care to tackle. Sounds like a job for a repair shop. Probably not worth putting any money into it. Thanks for the info.

 

If a device has a dead battery, sometimes it can be brought back to life by trickle charging it to a USB port on a powered on computer.

Plug the tablet's charging cable into a USB port on the computer. Let it alone for at least an hour.
Then you might be able to move it to a wall wart and it will start charging.

I'm currently charging a completely dead portable power pack by this method. No lights came on when attached to a wall wart so I moved it to a USB port on my desktop computer. The red light started blinking indicating it is now charging.

 

Thanks will give it a try. Nothing tried, nothing gained.

 

Sorry I am late getting back to you. Tried as you suggested, no luck. Guess it is really dead, now I have to dispose of it. Thanks for your help. I will mark this as solved.

 

I had the same "luck" with the battery pack. It never showed fully charged and would not work when connected to two of my devices.

 

After reading your comments Plodr I tried it and to my amazement, it worked. Now I have a fully functional Android 10" pad up and working, thanks to you.
