Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0: Why does my tablet keep turning off by itself

Thu, 11 Apr 2024 17:26:55 -0700

My tablet keeps shutting down once the battery level falls below 95%, and once it is off it doesn't turn back on unless the battery is fully charged, and I have to try to turn it on several times before it works, when it is off , and I try to turn it on the boot up screen comes on for a while then it just comes off again, I really need help with this , could anyone advise me if this is a problem with the hardware or software of the tablet? And do you have any suggestions on a solution to it?. Your suggestions will be very much appreciated.

ASUS ZenPad 3S 10: Is it possible to replace the touch screen only?

Tue, 05 Sep 2023 05:29:59 -0700

I have a cracked touch screen on my Asus Zenpad 3S 10 Z500M but the display is not affected. I only see the whole assembly for sale online so I'm presuming this tablet is one that requires the whole assembly (expensive) to be replaced. Is it possible to replace the screen alone?

Asus Transformer Pad TF300: I can't charge my tablet

Thu, 09 Feb 2023 22:36:58 -0700

Hi there,

I can't charge my tablet and I think it's something to do with the actual tablet, not the charger. I have tried a different charger and still nothing.

The only way I saw my tablet was charging when I have connected it to my laptop with USB, but it was really really slow and I have to just leave it. If I will be using the tablet while charging with a laptop the battery % goes down. Also, it is not showing me that Android "storm" icon when it's charging it.

Not sure what to do with that. Any ideas?

Just looking to retain home button function, I am not concerned about retaining Touch ID.

Kindle Fire HDX 8.9": Why is my battery not charging.

Fri, 19 Jun 2020 05:49:16 -0700

My hdx 8.9 will not charge.

initially it would not charge when hooked to the cable. Even after changing the cable and light jiggling of said cable. Eventually I got it to charge to 6% before it just stopped charging again. I turned on the device got tech via mayday. But then I could not turn the device off. When the batterywent out I tried charging it again with no result. BUT now on can't tell if it's not charging or the darned power button won't work.

iPad Mini: Horizontal Lines on Bottom of Screen

Fri, 03 Apr 2020 18:38:39 -0700

My iPad mini has horizontal lines that seem to fluctuate toward the bottom half of the screen. Sometimes there is image ghosting when changing pages, and other times it varies from very severe to barely noticeable lines. No water damage or drops, it just started acting up while I was using it in the sun (issue?). I am thinking it's the LCD or logic board, but it wouldn't really be worth fixing if the logic board was bad. Any ideas?

Kindle Paperwhite 3rd Generation: doesn't open, hard restart, recharge and recognized on computer

Wed, 23 Oct 2019 15:35:36 -0700

Hello,

I have a paperwhite. Everything was normal until yesterday. I had recharged it on saturday. I used it on saturday and sunday (there should be still pretty much battery). But i couldn't open it on sunday evening. Couldn't restart/hard reset it. I plugged it on my computer. It didn't show up on my computer. Even if battery is dead, i thought i could see it on my computer as a USB stick. I charged it for 10 hours but still battery lamp is orange not green. What is the problem ?

iPad mini 4 Wi-Fi: Why won't my iPad mini turn on?

Thu, 26 Sep 2019 16:43:48 -0700

I was on an app and it crashed. The screen went grey, so I tried to restart my iPad by holding down the power button and the home button simultaneously. My iPad turned off, but it never turned on again.

My iPad mini is new, I bought it less than six months ago and it is in perfect condition. I have had no previous problems, and haven't dropped it or anything.

I tried holding the power and home button simultaneously for 30+ seconds and still nothing has happened. I have charged it, held just the power button down, just the home button, the volume buttons, holding the power button for five seconds, and the home button as well for 15 more but still nothing. I have also tried to connect it to my laptop, but the screen is still just black.

I don't know what to do. Please help.
