Polaroid PMID701i 10 Repair

The Polaroid PMID701i 10, released in early 2012, is an Android touch-screen tablet. It runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on a 7 inch capacitive touch screen.

On the top side, it includes a slot for external storage, supporting Micro SDHC cards (up to 32 GB), a headphone jack (3.5mm), and connects and charges with a Mini USB port (USB Mini-b 5-pin). As a MID (mobile internet device), it connects to the internet through Wi-Fi. It supports Micro SDHC cards for external storage, up to 32GB. As an older tablet model, it lacks a camera, and uses OpenGL S 2.0 on a 800 x 480 (16:9) pixel resolution. It usually ships with a USB cable and an AC adapter.

Additional internal specifications of the device include:

• 1GHz CPU (ARM CORTEX-A8)
• 4GB flash internal storage
• 512 MB memory (DDR3 RAM)
• Around 6 hours of battery life
• Integrated Wi-Fi (WEP, WPA, WPA2) (802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n)

The PMID701i 10 includes a TV-out port next to the Mini USB port.

When oriented upright, the Polaroid logo is found printed on the top right of the frame. On the right side, it includes standard buttons for Power/Standby, Home, Menu, and Return. However, it lacks volume buttons. The left side contains the microphone (labeled MIC), and on the back, it includes the reset button, a speaker, and a label. The label includes the Polaroid logo, followed by 4GB, a few symbols, and "Model number: PMID701i 10", identifying the device.

There are two other PMID701i models, identified by the label on the back: PMID701i 13, and PMID701i X10. The earlier model, the PMID701C, looks the same, but runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
