spacemanjupiter Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I cannot find an internal battery anywhere online which has been really frustrating. My screen was coming off and was bent upwards. I thought it was warped from heat over time but after cracking it open I saw that my whole motherboard was bending upwards due to pressure from what seems to be a swollen battery. I don't really use this mobile anymore and it serves as a desktop and sits in the docking station. Is it possible to just take the battery out and have the tablet be operational as long as power is going to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Did you ever try this? I ordered a battery (you can get them from Chinese sellers on eBay), but it's going to take forever to get here. I removed the old battery, and I'm tempted to try running without it, but I'm afraid I'll fry the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) I just tried it, and it works fine without the battery, using the original cable. Edited April 7, 2018 by Sheryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanjupiter Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 I never tried it without the battery but I found one somewhere online a while back. My old SP1 is still running like a champ every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Mine is running great, too - with no battery! When the battery I ordered arrives, I probably won't put it in. I never use it on battery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtz Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Dear Selly. How he solved it to work that way. I took out the battery, but it won't start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Miner Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 The battery has "expanded" on my Surface 3 bowing my screen out -- interestingly enough my internet connection doesn't work on it either -- may have to bite the bullet and "upgrade". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
