Hardware I bought an oasis cover while they were on sale to do a destructive teardown.

When I first saw the 5 pins of the oasis cover, I assumed that it talked to the main oasis over usb.

I thought maybe that would be a way to hook it up to the PC too.

So I saw them for $10 on amazon wearhouse, I thought I would do a teardown.

I do not recommend people do this.

The big takeaway is that the battery is extremely flimsy, they made it super thin, and it bends very easily.

There is no chance I would try to charge it up after this, even if I had an oasis to use it with.

The back of the logic board is blank, with what look like pin test points.

I don't have a microscope to identify the chip, the letters are too small for me.

I have a USB cable I stripped the ends off, and tried to attach to these pins.

In some combinations my computer would tell me that the USB device could not be used, but I was not able to get anything that said it could be used.

I have at least positive identified the GND pin as being the top one, so its usually a save assumption to say PWR is the bottom pin.

So if anyone wants me to try something that I am capable of, I'm happy to.
