Dead NOOK.
Hee hee. I thought I was fair at soldering but when the umbilical port socket broke away from the board. Not pin head size pads - pin point. Wave soldered at the factory. I have 90% remaining batte...

I am trying to reduce even eliminate the micro USB charging port.
By using a Velcro Pad and adhering the charging station to it, I can form guides around the outer dimension of the Nook itself. This would align the reader with the charging plate. Horizontal and safe from dropping.
Since I spend so many hours a day, reading, I would love the find a breakfast-in-bed tray Nook reading stand. Lightweight plastic. I would make an adapter for use with a recliner chair.
My left hand has little grip strength and the Chinese in their infinite ignorance decided to eliminate navigation buttons and force a reader to swipe the screen sometimes over and over and over to turn book pages.
I have a great cigarette lighter USB charger for the toad. The Nook reposes safely upon upholstery. In a hotel room, with a non working receptacle it's lights out. In a hotel room where there is a working receptacle, there is no upholstery, just a three foot drop to ceramic tile when using a USB micro port charger.
This whole area is s-t-u-p-i-d incarnate. Nook insisted or still insists on severely limiting charging milliamps. DUH(!) Isn't that the job of the circuit board power management chip?
So lithium batteries need to have their --- kissed when recharging. Would this defect then vigorously encourage the use of an induction type charger? Amazing that a hundred thirty dollar device needs a charge management wet nurse and a twenty dollar disposable cell phone doesn't.

This gets funner and funner...
I go to eBay to search for a larger LiPO battery OK
So we finds this one...

EIGHT THOUSAND MILLAMP HOURS COMPARED TO THE 90-POUND WEAKLING original Nook battery which is rated at 1500 MAh
So's then I gets suspicious...
Let's compare battery dimensions between the two...
121mm x 65mm x 7.5mm
113mm* 65mm *8.0mm
It's it's it's...
