This tablet's battery swelled up so much it popped the screen off and so it's been sat around waiting for me to fix it for... Oh, three years maybe?
Ages.
Fixed it yesterday.
Replacing that battery required dealing with fiddly ribbon cables that blocked it in, and the bastards had glued the battery in too so had to deal with slowly trying to break the glue by wedging a plastic card behind it.
That's why I put it off for years.
Took ages. Then when I finished, it didn't seem to work 😦
Had to re-do all those fiddly ribbon cables again to eventually gain success.
This is why I have two tablets now. The new one is much cheaper and more rubbish despite this one being half a decade old now.
