Once I reached the end of this guide I did not see anything wrong with my K10. The pump checked out good so I started drawing and blowing through hoses myself... Finally water came out of the delivery hose!

The problem turned out to be the check-valve which was stuck or clogged because the machine sat so long without use. It was working fine when put away.

After reassembly the K10 is brewing once again! Thanks for the great Guide!

Ha. Love the sense of humor! Repairs can be fun!

There must be some newer, or older versions of this model. My notebook is definitely 14m-cd0003dx but I had a different screw pattern on the bottom plate: only the two back rubber bezels had screws underneath and there were 3 screws along the front edge of the back plate…

Hi. Great guide!

I have had several of these machines quit and I think the pump is the problem…

The symptoms are always:

* pauses during the water output through the pod

* water left in pod after brew cycle

* inconsistent coffee level in mug

* water back flowing out of escape pipe into water reservoir

I have disassembled several units and never discover any definite cause of the problem but didn’t know the pump could be opened and cleaned. Will have to try this!

Wow @andrii that is a very creative way to heat screen glue! I guess the only catch is you are heating up the entire unit - not just the area of concern…

But very clever!

ONE SOLUTION -

I examined my Ionic case under high magnification and discovered that the bottom has a clear plastic lens covering the sensors. Over time, this lens layer has worn thin and actually cracked enough to allow water or sweat to infiltrate the bottom of the pebble.

This must have caused a short or damaged the sensors because every new battery I tried drained quickly.

I have put all of my parts (Screen, battery, Main board, shield, etc.) into a new case complete with sensor array and now I am seeing excellent battery life!

The new battery part is linked at the top of this page.

- regards

The battery drains so quickly - just like the old battery that I am replacing.

It charges up to 100% but then loses about 1% every 5 minutes. Could there be a short circuit somewhere?

This was all sealed up by factory until I needed a new battery.

From iFixit.com - they are back in stock now.

This guide is very detailed and pretty accurate. Thank you for posting it!

Does anyone know how crucial the ‘Calibration’ procedure noted at the end article is?

I replaced my battery and it drains so quickly - during the course of a few hours.

But I didn’t try leaving it on the charger for 2 hours after 100% is reached. Trying that now.
