Nexus 7: Nexus 7 will not boot, just screen flicker

Sun, 17 Jan 2021 12:01:34 -0700

Hi Everyone,

I have a new Nexus 7. As soon as I brought it home, I checked to make sure it started charging and also boot-up.

Now 3-4 weeks later, its been lying idle inside the packaging/box. I hooked it up for charging and nothing came on! No charging message, no Nexus Logo. Just blank.

I tried holding the power button for 30 secs, 60 secs, forever ... nothing. All I get is the back-light. If I hold the volume+power button for some time, I get some flickering/snow on the screen. I even left it in the socket for 2 days, still the same thing. Strangely, if I take it off charging; it becomes a 7" brick, with even the flicker and back-light failing.

I'm guessing it is a battery issue. Can someone confirm and tell me what all I need to do ?

Thank You

Lenovo A7: Refuses to boot , loops on Brand

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:10:56 -0700

Hi.

I have a Lenovo Tab A7-10

My tablet is less than a month old.

My problem :

I can not switch on.

The tablet keeps vibrating and showing the Lenovo boot screen and screen goes back to black and start all over again.

I tried many methods including the 20 secs power button.

Or plugging the tablet for quite some time.

Only to see the same results.

Any help ?

Thx.

RCA RCT6272W23: How do I remove the settings lock on this RCA RCT6272W23 tablet?

Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:55:01 -0700

I was given a tablet and it is locked, it says 'Settings Lock' and will not accept any password I have tried, I have done a factory reset at least 10 times, each time no success! First thing it asks for a language selection, ok, no problem! once I press ok the screen changes to the Wi-fi setup, and I see my router on the list for nearly a half second before the settings lock screen pops up and effectively stops my progress!

The password box seems to have at least 50 possible characters, no hint, no access to anything useful, a tease of a 'change password' box that still requires the old password....if this feature persists after factory reset, then the password must be a standard 'factory' one, but so far all my attempts with common passwords has returned nothing! I realize this is not a top of the line model, but at this point I need it unlocked on principle alone!!!!

Has anyone else had this issue? Even on a variation of this model? Besides obvious solutions such as a new fancy paperweight or using it as a skeet target, finding/cracking the password on this incredibly frustrating piece of s*** is my goal, and I ask for new ideas and directions from anyone and everyone!!!!

I thank you in advance, please don't let this little $40 rat turd steal hours of your life from you, as it has done to me....hours I will never get back, making the completion of this project a moral imperative!! remember , RCA RCT6272W23--

I give it 2 thumbs down....

Please help me solve this issue! Any ideas would be appreciated, I thank you!

Galaxy Tab S 10.5: Why does my tablet suddenly shut down when battery is around 60%?

Wed, 12 Jun 2024 22:37:46 -0700

I've been having this issue that when my battery would be around 30%, suddenly the screen goes black and my tab turns off. I cannot turn it back on in any way, only by plugging it in a power source and then holding power and volume down..

So I replaced the battery...Now, with the new battery, it happens around 60%.

What's going on :(

Nexus 7: Why does my tablet keep shutting itself off?

Fri, 20 Nov 2020 18:41:27 -0700

My Nexus 7 has been having a problem the past couple of days where after I turn it on, it will run for a few minutes, and then it will freeze and the screen will go black, showing up with the google reboot screen a few seconds later. If I leave it completely alone, it will stay on for about 6 minutes before it shuts down completely, and if I try to actually do anything on it it turns off in way, way less time. I haven't been able to pin point it to a certain app of process, though some things will shut it down faster than others. It is making it impossible to use my tablet and I don't know what could be causing it.
