Tablet Power Socket Fix & Increase Sound Output. ++easy to Open!

 Have to lean on the plug to get it to charge? want to increase its sound output? its only 4 months old and weak design errors are making it unreliable , i did not pay for the extended warranty.as it was not an expensive tablet.

"do you want to buy the extended insurance..blah blah blah.. for £20?"________________no i wont drop it.
" if it breaks we will replace blah blah blah"________________________  what about my information, I will fix it.
"antivirus.. blah blah blah.. for £20?"________________android antivirus are you serious,i have a real computer

new plug and socket, i chose one bigger and much more reliable than the original,
small screwdrivers,
wire cutter/ stripper
iron and solder
sharp and knife file
multimeter and sticky tape
heatshrink and lighter

i found no external screws, luckily i did not have to remove the front screen or anything drastic.

• remove your sd card.

i found i could push a thumbnail in a groove around the edge, so i guessed it was a snap fit cover ,

• starting at a corner away from buttons i slid a flat screwdriver around the edge at about 45 degrees , only allowing a few mm of the blade in at a time, hearing the clips pop as i went round.
• when opening there will be a wire going to the speaker.
• and the volume and power button will fall out.

disconnect wire ribbons by lifting the tabs on the wire ribbon connectors then pull them.
, there was sticky tape holding stuff in place.
and remove the two screws.
so you can get to the where the power socket is soldered on.

be very carefull with the wire on the left of the board. the connections look weak.

there is more sticky film on the back of the board , lift it out the way.
locate the power jack
solder wires on there, put some solder on the contact , then put your wire on the solder and heat and as soon as it sticks remove, im sure its easy to damage stuff in here.

the was a clear area on the left so make the wire exit.
make sure the circuit board returns flat into its placement.
i put the wire next to the battery, (silver packet)  , as to avoid the speaker,
tape the wire down.

+ is at the end opposite where the plug goes in, the otheres are -

i wrapped it in electrical tape and heat shrink.

was originally going to use 9v battery snap for connector ,but these are easy to apply backward voltage into(butter fingers)

i used a soldering iron to make the initial dent then tidied with scalpel and mini file.

the new location is much more convienent when using after market case.

cut it off then  strip a bit off, check the polarity, white stripe is negative for me.

you can test with multimeter of briefly connecting to tablet to see if it works (not advised really)

i found the wire to be too short for me so i extended it from 1.2m to 3m

i tested with temporary connections to see if i had made any mstakes , all ok so go ahead and solder the wires together and wrap in heatshrink.

as i had the case open,
AT THIS POINT YOU COULD JUST REATTACH THE RIBBONS  AND SCREWS THEN SNAP THE THING SHUT AND YOUR FINISHED.

• i decided to make the hole which the sound comes out bigger,
• also on my case i removed the muffling fluffy stuff opposite the speaker, i made a route for the sound so it comes out by the side of the tablet

cut with scalpel and peel off  the fluffy layer.. i did not like the white paper undernieth so i put some elecrical tape over it ,
