Disassembling the XiaoMi NDY-02-AM 5000mah Powerbank

Got this defective XiaoMi 5000mah lithum polymer power bank or power pack quite some time ago.

It’s time to strip it apart to have a look under the hood.

To get inside this power bank, as there are no visible screws from the outside, you will need to pry out the covers on the sides to reveal the screws.

With the screws removed, just slide the battery out from the case.

Inspected the PCB and found a burnt component. Looks like its some transistor or a MOSFET.

Here’s the rear of the pack in its chassis. But in order to have a clear view of the top of the PCB, the chassis has got to go..

Finally after a short struggle with the double sided tape that is holding down the lithium polymer battery, the front of the PCD is revealed.

Hope this is helpful to someone out there.

This powerbank is available from Amazon here for those who might be interested.
