Hi all I want to share my teardown / disassembly of the Mi 10400mah Powerbank.
1. Slowly prise off the white plastic fascia on both ends. A small, sharp knife will do best with the least amount of chipping to the aluminium and plastic itself. Just be careful of the retention clips, but they are not clipped. Some small force will release them.
After the fascia is removed, unscrew 4 screws on each end.

Rear fascia removed
[attachmentid=4051376]
2. After the screws are removed, use something to prise out the rear stopper or plug. You may use the stickiness of the double-sided tape that remains on the plug to help in lifting it up using your fingers as a surface.

3. After the rear stopper is removed, you may gently push the entire assembly from the rear towards the front.

Very nice board, and even has a thermocouple for heat control. VERY NICE touch.
To re-assemble, reverse the steps.
Hope this helps TS for investigation.
The cells and the board are really gooding.
