Check My Android reads 0 on the tilt sensors when the device gets stuck. I use Rotation to manually shift the screen, but this problem occurs with or without the app installed.

Any suggestions as to what might be wrong and how to fix it?

Screen is cracked would like to replace, also screen is unresponsive, I am wondering if replacing the screen will correct this or is there something else I may need to buy too?

Everything I find on the internet is for 2012 or 2013 models. I would really rather fix this that have to scrap it for something so basic. And, besides, I love the picture clarity and size and the new tablets that are coming out all seem to be larger.

I am facing an issue since few weeks with my Nexus 7 2013 2nd generation.

When it's on charge, the charge indicator is shown, however it's not charging, or it does very slowly (sometimes the charging time is estimated to 1 day! sometimes there is not "estimated time" at all)

At first, I managed to charge my tablet using the trick "turning off the tablet, keeping the power button pushed for 45secs/1min, turning on again normally". It sometimes needed several tries, and the speed of charge varied a lot.

Since a couple of days, this trick doesn't work well anymore. I manage to charge my tablet but it's always very slow.

Also the cable as to be in a specific position, if not it's won't charge at all. And the charge may stops without reasons or keeps changing state from "charging", not connected, "charging" etc.. (I don't move cable at all)

Do you think this issue is more likely related to battery, or to micro usb port, or both ??! I was thinking to buy a new battery but I am affraid the daughterboard has to be changed too.. If I have to change both it might be better to buy a new tablet instead..

Thanks in advance for you feedbacks!

ps : I have got my nexus since december 2013.

ps2 : I tried using different charger/cables.

I was looking to replace the microphone if that's possible. Does anyone have any tips or instructions on how to do this? I can't seem to find anything online regarding this topic for the 2nd gen nexus 7. Thanks!

I have a 2nd gen nexus 7 that won't power on. I first thought that maybe it was just a dead battery and bad charging port, so I soldered in a new charging port. No dice. I then took the charged battery out of another working nexus 7 and popped it in. Still not starting.

I of course tried holding the power button down for a long time and to try and boot it into the bootloader/recovery screen. Nothing.

The only other thing I've tried so far is switching the silver ribbon cable from the nexus that works, and that didn't work either.

I can see that the motherboard has been taken out at some point because the seal on the screw was chewed up, however the seal on the daughterboard was fine (could've still been removed and replaced carefully). I don't really know where to take it from here.

I can do SMD soldering if that helps.

The place where the connector went is pointed to by the tip of the screwdriver.

i have a nexus 7 2013 32 which i've had since new. i have reasonable skills in dealing with repair, but this one has really got me.

i can't get my unit to charge. i have tried many instructions from the Internet `without positive results.

so...

spontaneously the unit stops charging. i start trying some of my simple fixes with no results. i install a new battery. nothing. eventually the charge that comes with the new battery wears out with just a bit of charge left.

i don't know where to go from here. i'll try anything even if i have already.

thanks for your support.

i have had great success previously from your site.

I cannot hard reset it as when that menu would appear the same display comes up. It appears that it is trying to work and displays the pixels when it would be displaying something on the screen but it's just a bad picture. I can't determine if the problem is a bad screen which the seller claims they test before they ship or the display cable.

I bought the screen from http://www.ebay.com/itm/251511366691?ssP...

Here are screen shots of the display I'm getting.

I've tried unplugging the battery and letting it sit then re installing the battery and the screen but it didn't make a difference.
