Image Franken Tablet (Alldocube iplay70 mini turbo U812)
So i bought this Alldocube tablet back in March this year. Happy to have snagged it for 130usd new sealed in my country. Spent a couple months happy before the screen began glitching and then i noticed it only happened when i pressed on certain parts of the screen. Taking it to the technician i know, yep, swollen battery. Tried to contact the seller but they had deactivated their account so no warranty, and Alldocube also was no help. Tried to get a replacement battery from aliexpress, because only their listing showed up when you search for the battery model number (365689-12s2p). They sent me the battery (twice!) now glued to the back of my tablet, which looks like another model with similar number (345689-12s2p), but is thicker by 2mm and didnt fit at all inside the tablet. So my technician and i agree to pull a mcgyver and rig this thing to tbe outside. The tablet works but now i cannot use its case and it is a hazard due to the battery being unprotected. So it is now relegated to desktop work.
Lesson learned, always be careful that your devices are from well known brands that actually make replacement parts for their stuff.
Also, stuck a mag sticker on it to put a mag cooler on it, cause thermals got a bit worrysome before the battery swelling began.
