sure I have replied to one version of this anyway although a bit late this does come up first in a google. so the issue is the phone has its floating point thingy locked so it it doesn't work with most in and out chargers even the posh ones only provide power. so taking a hint from a crazy...

I found an odd youtube clip from an aussie on the road complaining that none of the chergers he kept buying were working, what he eventually did was short out the green and white points in the charger as they apparently are left dead or have resistors on them but you could do the same by...

make sure you use a hi capacity charger 1A plus most phone chargers are too low and will only trickle charge when the unit is off, also my four came from ebay with no power faults and I patched a QI charger inside the casing as the usb ports had failed. I'd do that to any tn7 now as the port is...

yes it does - runtime about an hour and a half then it shuts off and then starts to charge. irritatingly it doesn't say charging or on AC until it syts down. most irritating.

I've been adapting tablets with broken usb ports to charge wirelessly for a few month now, when I was reading up on adding QI to kindles etc I noticed that a lot of phones have suitable points to solder the QI receiver to and also that the newer QI chargers have a smart function which turns the...

hya - its not hard but you need some nerve, it is relatively easy to wire a QI wireless receiver direct to the battery then fit a charger into a suitable case. I've done four of these now using fintie slate 7 extreme cases (ebay US) and QI elements from ebay UK. cost about 25 quid or so. short...

someone was selling them on ebay for about 15 quid IIRC the homecare branded covers and styluses are available. I don't think the rubber is that important but the funny core piece is so it might me feasible to make a replacement. PC world must have spare stock instore to deal with people...

it's a bit harsh but get the cover working again. mine broke at the black plastic where it hooks into the cover. I ended up trimming away the plastic, bending and cutting a paperclip into an L shape and once cut to size burning a slot into the cover with a soldering iron until it hit the...

I have a flip cover which kept breaking on the plastic so is held together with a paperclip and hot glue. nice case but not robust enough for me. I also picked up a fintie which is a nice tight perfect fit if a little too closed around the screen for full screen use. had to come via ebay US but...

well in theory you can heat the old glass off and get some stock cut to size from a proper supplier. nvidia seem very lax at releasing spares out there, you cant get them off themselves and they claim it is the reposibility of the rebrander. pathetic really. just like the power sockets. from...

just update it and have done with it. none of my three are showing any bad signs after the 6 or so that have come through. and the updates often fix the flaws you are complaining about. if you are worried about camera hacking then put some insulation tape over it when not it use. unless someone...

as a non fancy hacker type I have been picking these up with bad ports on purpose. if you understand a soldering iron and can make 4 joints then its a simple enough fix to get a cheap high power tablet. chargers such as the QI wireless units or powermats are intelligent so you wont run the...

wireless charging does work if you get a 1000ma output plate, the hassle is it has to go behind the copper foil plate under the cover. you can patch a usb cable to the battery and use a smart charger to keep it safe or get clever and solder to a live input like the fuse on the IO board. thread...
