My brother is helping me out with this a bit. He tried attaching a 9V to the red/black ports on the main green board and he said it smoked a little bit; can't be a good thing. (Hopefully it didn't break anything)
Anyhow, hope that pic helps you out.

So, yeah, don't mess around with those. If you could get an exact replacement - same chemistry, same capacity, same physical size - replacing, or having someone replace for you, the battery wouldn't be too terribly difficult, but I don't believe that's something you can just go out and pick up online easily. I really wouldn't start screwing around with other sorts of rechargeable batteries - see the warning about explosions, fire, et cetera above. In theory, from what I can see, if you disconnect the red and black wires from the battery-management board, and then apply voltage there (i.e. 9V battery, as a fairly safe proof-of-concept) you *should* find that you have a working amp. It might not be *quite* that easy, however, because the power-management functionality doesn't appear to be *entirely* done on that little daughter-board - the charge and charge-indicator LEDs are on the main board, and the only connection between the two is the two wires, suggesting that at least some of the power-management functionality is done on the main board... Can you post a picture of the bottom of the main board? |
