I've bought batteries off of 3 sellers so far from eBay and all the batteries that I got were defective. I really want to bring this thing back to life and am wondering if anyone knows a website or seller that provides working batteries for the X60 Tablet? Thanks in advance!

Rebuilding it yourself is the only surefire way to get one that works and is in good condition. Do you still have the old batteries? 3rd party knockoff batteries are generally pretty easy to get into and swap the cells without destroying the casing.

Make sure you're well informed before you do this though. You cannot extinguish a lithium ion fire.
