Introduction

If you begin to notice that your battery doesn’t seem to be charging, or isn’t holding a charge like it used to, then it may be time to replace it. This guide will walk you through the steps to replace the battery in your Wacom Intuos Pro. Replacing the battery of your device should restore its charge capacity and lifespan to near new conditions.

    • Orient the device so the bottom casing is facing upwards.

    • Use your fingers to gently pull on the rubber covers on the bottom of the device to remove them.

    The white balance here is off. I would also indicate the end goal of pulling off the adhesive (e.g., to remove it).

    • Remove the four 4mm screws from underneath the rubber feet using a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

    I think the photos are slightly too zoomed in here. Also, the shots should be taken from the first person perspective. Note that screwdriver is one word.

    • Insert the iFixit Opening Tool between the front and back cover of the device in order to snap and separate the type locks from around the edges.

    • Use the iFixit Opening Tool all the way around the edges until all the snaps have been released.

    • While going around the edges, make sure you have a tight grip to keep the device from sliding.

    Make sure to use the first-person perspective and end punctuation on all steps. How should I use the plastic tool? Be sure to be specific. I would also add one final shot of the case being removed.

    • Remove the case backing from the rear of the device with your hands so the internal components are exposed.

    Add picture with removing the case.

    • If not already done, desolder the three colored cables that connect the battery to the motherboard.

    • After desoldering the battery, carefully remove it.

    • Be careful when handling the soldering iron given it's high operating temperature and the possibility for it to damage other components.

    • For help soldering, check out our How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide.

    Add flip book style shots here so that it’s clear how to do this.

    See previous feedback here. If you need it, we have a soldering iron in the studio you can use, but you’ll have to make an appointment. I would also use markup to show where this component is.

    But where's the link to source the battery?
