The new 12V to 5V converter arrived and was tested to continually output 5.1V. Two wires were soldered to the DC terminals on the main board (white and blue wires in the main pic.) and run underneath the main board so they could be connected to the converter. These wires were soldered to the converter and coated with liquid electrical tape. The converter was then connected to a 12V power wheels battery and the tablet lived again.
Now that the tablet was up and running a factory reset was performed, then software was installed. I used Tasker (I already owned this software) to prevent the screen from turning off. I also installed ES File Explorer to transfer files from my local network while connected to wifi.
