I'll take a stab at fixing the swollen battery.

I've fixed many high end phones/tablets and have all the service tools, so a media player seems like a walk in the park.

I'll fully document the repair here, because I'm sure everyone will need a replacement battery soon enough....

Great! Did you read the part about "no longer available" ?!?!?!

The battery?

There are probably 12 available cell phone batteries that would fit the player.

This is the battery that was damaged?

It's still made, and costs ~$20 USD

Posting a fix for this is helpful.

I’ve had my player many years now and no swelling that I am aware of.

I’ve had my player many years now and no swelling that I am aware of.

Most batteries don't swell up in their lifetimes, but if the internal safety Thermistor on the battery pack fails, the battery can overcharge and swell. It's pretty common.

But swollen or not, Lithium battery packs only survive 500-1400 charge cycles, and then they have to be replaced.

So no matter what, all us Onkyo/Pioneer player owners are going to need a battery swap in the future.

Ok well I thought my post was fairly concise and clear.. But if not here it is yet again.


**PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT YOUR UNIT REQUIRES A PART THAT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN ORDER TO BE REPAIRED. THEREFORE, THIS ESTIMATE IS FOR RETURN SHIPMENT OF THE UNIT AS IS**.

So I sent my DP-X1 in for service due to swollen battery.

I paid $67.50 to tell me that the OBVIOUSLY swollen battery is not available?

And ONKYO sent me a big F*CK YOU, and pretty much everybody else who owns a DP-X1, I'm so disappointed with ONKYO!! How could they not make replacement batteries? What?!?

That's why everyone was telling you to post a picture of your battery BEFORE you mailed in your player, just to make sure your battery was the same as others who have already replaced it.

Onkyo does not make batteries, they buy them from other companies, like TCL.

Even if Onkyo does not stock the batteries anymore, TCL still makes them and they are $20 (1ICP4/53/67 3.8v 1630mah) .

It's used in a bunch of different cell phones, along with many Pioneer and Onkyo DAPs.

How is the fake leather back safely removed in order to access the battery?

To disassemble the DP-X1, I believe you have to pull the screen off, and go in from the front of the device.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster!

Yes, second menu choice under "Power Management". Found by touching the gear -shaped symbol.

Is it worth getting the DP X1A at US$480ish from Japan considering it is EOL? Or does anyone have an alternative? Fiio M11? There is no more demo sets in Singapore for me to audition. Currently using opus #1 with Earwerks Legend Omega and Toxic Virus cable.

New owner of dp-x1 here ! I don't know if this is common among other users but, while playing songs on the default music player, my wallpaper automatically changes to the album cover. How do i fix this? Another question that I have is, is there a way to allow the screen to be left on until I lock it? Since the maximum time is 30 minutes before the device sleeps
