Nvidia Shield Tablet K1: Where is the debug UART?

Wed, 08 Jul 2020 19:04:15 -0700

Has anyone managed to work out how to hook up a UART for debugging? The K1 chip has four UARTS; I’d expect at least one of them to be brought out somewhere on the motherboard, but I can’t find it.

Nvidia Shield Tablet: No Command OS Error

Mon, 28 Aug 2017 17:43:38 -0700

I take my Nvidia Shield to the recovery menu, and I hold volume up and power and tried several different combinations at the recovery screen, when the Android is laying down, all's I have from that point is a no command message. I contacted Nvidia support and they said that my tablet is dead. I don't buy it! Is there anything that can be done?

Nvidia Shield Tablet K1: Why can't my device read SD cards?

Mon, 07 Aug 2017 03:08:15 -0700

So I have been using SD cards on my tablet but once when I was removing the card with a needle (I would push the card and then it would jump out) I unintentionally scratched connectors inside the slot. Are they really that sensitive? Is it fixable?

Nvidia Shield Tablet: will not conect to internet (WiFi)

Thu, 20 Jul 2017 07:56:29 -0700

tablet was knocked off cabinet(approx 4'), landed on charging cable bending it, no apparent damage to tablet (no cracks or marks externally) and even though it bent the charging cable it was still charging, after charge was complete it would not connect to WiFi.

I removed back cover but nothing appeared to be loose or damaged.

Nvidia Shield Tablet: Where is the display cable? EDIT - Charging circuitry guide?

Fri, 09 Dec 2016 10:28:15 -0700

I dropped my tablet about 3 inches the other day picking it up by the cable in the dark. I know. But anyway, the tablet still works, but the display cable came out so there's nothing on screen but when I connect it to the TV with my HDMI adaptor it's still all working. If someone could put up a guide on replacing the display, I can see where the connection I need to plug back in is and can avoid the 30 bucks from the repair shop. The backlight works fine, it's literally that one connection that came slightly unplugged.

EDIT - Still not sure where it is but I followed a display replacement teardown I found on youtube. It didn't label anything but I guess unplugging and replugging all the connections did the trick. That said, now I have other problems, so I'd still like a teardown or something that tells me where the various connections are. Ideally at the moment one that covers the charging system, because now that I put it back together whenever I plug it in to charge it flashes the charging led green and yellow but doesn't actually charge. I think a connection on the back of the board didn't go in right, but I'm a bit gunshy now and would rather know for sure.

Nvidia Shield Tablet: Display Stopped Working, can't find the problem.

Tue, 07 Jun 2016 12:50:41 -0700

So I dropped my tablet the other day, and the display stopped working. The screen didn't crack and I know the tablet still works since I can still see the backlight and when I plug it into a monitor with the hdmi port it still works fine. I just can't see anything on the screen, its just a backlit black screen. I've opened up the back to see if it was as simple as something coming loose but I can't see anything out of place or broken. So now I'm out of luck and don't really wanna take it to a store to pay £50 for them to fix it, if its fixable that is.

Has anyone got any ideas?

I thought maybe it was some sort of display port coming loose, or breaking, but I have no idea what stuff is what when I open up the case.

Nvidia Shield Tablet: Shield tablet Recall because battery hazard.

Mon, 30 Nov 2015 13:57:55 -0700

Hello to all,

I received the new Shield replacement tablet, few days ago.

My actual tablet works pretty well and I want to use the new one as a portable computer.

As you know, as soon as you set the new tablet, the old one will stop working.

Do you have any simple suggestion to make both of them alive!

Many thanks for your help!
