How to do a battery pull

[jackitoday]

My tablet just died -- I want to pull the battery, but I realize I have no idea how or where.

Tab was fine, was on the charger at about 82% and then went dark and I can't restart it at all.

Any advice, ideas, suggestions?

I dont think you can do a battery pull on it, mine has frozen and went dark several times. after about 5 minutes, I held down the power button and it came back on

I think if you hold down the POWER button and the VOLUME DOWN button it's supposed to 'act' like a battery pull. Not sure it will work in the state yours is in, but thought I'd throw it out there.

That did work on mine

Mine suddenly responded to the long hold on the power button, and all is well - but I'll remember these hints for the next time.

Probably what happened is sow type of electronics switch got stuck and was not updating. Long power hold will do the same as a battery pull.
