Hi everyone, I decided to pickup one of the new Pipo S2 tablets. I came in the mail last week and everything was working great out of the box. After fully charging the unit I let the battery run down to 1% before I plugged it in again to charge. I did notice that while charging that there were a few jitters on the screen while using it. I decided to go ahead and continue surfing the net and google play store. I played a few games with no problem but while I was charging the unit I decided to run a emulator on it. The emulator did not work so I exited and killed all other apps running. It then powered down and started a reboot. After the reboot it again powered down and began another reboot. After the second time it shut off and stayed off. I will not do anything at all. When the charger is plugged into the device the battery light indicator just flashes red. It will not do anything now.

I have tried to unsolder the red battery terminal from the board but still nothing. Even while the cable was not attached to the battery I plugged in the charger and still got just a flashing red battery indicator. So no go on the soldering idea. I also noticed that when I attempt to plug in the charger there are always sparks, could I have shorted out the board?

Thanks for your patience in reading I know I was long winded,

DJ

Sorry DJ, I can't help with your problem - but you might be able to help with mine - how do you get the S2 open?

[djriggs]

I used a medium size flathead screw driver and a tool that opens watch case backs. As long as you pry it open at the seam that goes around the edge very easily you ok. Just work it until one of the holders snaps open, then work your way around the whole out side on snap at a time.


Thanks,
DJ

mine it's in similar situation.

It wont wake up, I saw somewhere that you have to charge battery during 3-4 days to drain battery but I don't know if works.
