Troubleshooting Tips for the Google Nexus 7

With as many as 7 million units sold, the Google Nexus 7 is a leading contender in the up-and-coming tablet market. Its affordability and versatility give it an edge against the premium-priced Apple iPad, and here in Kansas City Google Fiber is giving them away as remote controls for their cable customers.  That makes for a lot of Nexus 7’s on the market, and a lot of broken ones too! Though the Nexus 7 repair hasn’t yet gained full speed, we’ve heard a couple issues so far about general troubleshooting of the Nexus 7 and charging cord compatibility issues. Many universal charging cables aren’t compatible with the Nexus 7, but at eTech Parts we’ve hand-tested and selected compatible micro USB chargers that work with the Nexus 7. If you let your Nexus 7 die completely, you may encounter a pixelated-flashing screen, or the device won’t turn on with any combination of button pressing.

with the Power button. 4. Once the device is off, unplug the charger and then plug it back into the device. 5. You should now see the battery meter with your device returning to life!
