Google Nexus Tablet

Options
Can anyone recommend someone who can repair a Google Nexus Tablet in the Ballyclare / Newtownabbey area.

It briefly switches on then stops charging. I have tried the various fixes /resets on Google.

We got it for the kids from the Argos Ebay Outlet store from "Santa".

They don't do repairs only refunds. And that's only if they say it wasn't our fault. So guess what I think they are bound to say!!

Thanks.

  • Personally I would go down the warranty route. Have you tried contacting google online. They can probably arrange a repair if that's what you want.
    Certainly don't let Argos off and pay for a repair. That is the last resort. Argos can't just reject you claim.

  • Carefully prise the back off with a fingernail, and ensure the battery is seated properly. You may find that the white connector has come out and you have to push it back in again.

    I have to do this occasionally with mine as the battery moves about.

    Dont prise the back off!

    not until you have decided you are not returning it.

    If its within the 12m warranty then see about returning it as faulty.

    I think this is quite a common problem.
    We returned one under warranty after 11months because it wouldnt charge and the new one they sent also wouldnt charge. The 2nd new one they sent is working and still going strong.

    I assume that you tried the normal "hold the power button in for 30 secs" ?
    Is it running Android 4.2.2 ?
  • You could also try online, some online places can repair much cheaper, even with the delivery costs.
