The W-King X10 battery is responsible for providing power to every component of the X10. Malfunctions in the battery may come in the form of diminished battery life, extended battery charging times, and at the extreme, a complete inability to power on your X10.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, this guide will show you how to open the casing of your X10, and how to disconnect and replace the battery.
Before you begin this repair, power off your speaker and disconnect it from the charging cable. The prerequisite guide to remove the speakers requires soldering. For detailed instructions, refer to the How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide.
Lay the X10 on its back so that the bottom is facing you.
Using the metal spudger, separate the two connection points located on the left and right sides of the mesh panel as shown.
Separate the connection point in the center of the bottom section of the device.
As before, all connection points should audibly 'pop' when disconnected, and the mesh panel will visibly separate from the body of the X10.
Take care not to accidentally reconnect the points you’ve already separated. Using opening picks to hold the connections open can be helpful as you complete this step.
Remove the Control Panel from the top of the X10 by using the plastic spudger to separate the glue that attaches it to the casing.
There will be limited slack on the panel until you disconnect the ribbon cable. Be careful to not overexert the cable by keeping the panel close to the casing until you have disconnected the cable.
Using a pair of tweezers, gently pry the ribbon cable that connects the control panel to the motherboard.
Use a 2.5 millimeter hex key to remove the ten 17.5 mm screws that connect the two halves of the X10 casing.
Several of these hex screws are in deep, narrow holes in the casing. We recommend using a full-length hex key rather than a hex bit at the end of a driver.
Separate the two halves of the casing using the metal spudger to pry apart the ten connection arms that form the structure of the casing.
If this is the first time opening the casing of this X10, there will be glue around the seam of the casing. Use the spudger to split the glue to loosen the seam.
Any chance you can give the manufacturer and part number for that battery pack and if you know where to buy the direct replacement please state this site we can purchase that new pack?
