Dell Streak 7

[Wesley32]

I work at a Surplus and Recycling office and a Dell Streak 7 Came through here today.

I would like to know if there is anyway to salvage this item and possibly get it to work.

First I will list information:

Dell Streak 7
3G version I think, Has the sim Card clot
Date: 2011.04

I have the service tag and other things but I won't list those here.

The problem I am having seems to be a Read only mode from what I have read. The tablet wont do anything, the charging light does not come on, the screen doesn't light up or anything. I have tried plugging it into the wall charger and the USB charger nothing will happen. I have tried pressing the volume up+power button and nothing happened. I have also tried hitting the hard reset button beside the SD card slot. Nothing happened then either.

If you could help me out at all it would be great,

Thanks

Try letting it sit on the charger for 24 hours.

Does this mean that there could be some dead battery issue and it just needs to charge for 24 hours?

 

[giveen]

Its possible. No way to tell really till we get it powered on.

 

[Wesley32]

Alright, so what if charging it for 24 hours does nothing? Just e-scrap it? haha

You might be able to request service from Dell.
It could also be a bad charging cable or wall charger, hence why its not charging.

So the charger is a 30-pin correct? could an older Iphone or ipod usb cable work to charge this, or to test if the OEM is bad?

Nope, has to be a Dell specific one because the pin layout is different.

I let it sit on the charger and it did nothing. I think this thing is a f'ed up

Yeah, either dead battery, or bad cable/charger.
