how to make 5v from 2 smaller power sources?/Or bump it from 3.7v to 5v? Is there a way to make the 3.7 into 5v (amp it up) or is there a way to add two different power sources into one so they add together?

Nexus 7: Why won't my screen turn on?

Fri, 22 May 2015 20:45:10 -0700

For some reason, my Nexus 7 2nd generation isn't turning on after reading the instructions given from Google Help, which was to press the power button for 15 seconds, charge it to a computer, charging it for an hour, and etc. Honestly, NONE of those worked. I thought replacing the battery would help, but as it turns out it would cost more money than to buy a new one or whatever. Please help me bring my Nexus 7 tablet back to life. I haven't been using it in months and it's bugging me. Thanks.

Nexus 7: I want to replace micro-usb

Wed, 01 Aug 2018 07:56:24 -0700

Hi all,

I have an issue when I plug usb cable on my device, battery doesn't charge. I don't see icon with storm inside. If I move the plug I see/doesn't see, icon with storm inside.

I think the problem is in the micro-usb.

If I replace the micro-usb/daughterboard, I must recalibrate something ? like is write on ASUS web site : http://www.asusparts.eu/en/Asus-90NK0080...

Thx for tour feedback

Sorry for my bad english

Vincent

Nexus 7: Nexus 7 usb data damage

Wed, 02 Aug 2017 05:44:37 -0700

Hello, I have applied 5v to the data (minus) and (plus) side when dealing with the otg cable. Currently, when I connect a computer tablet, it does not appear in Device Manager and there is no notification on the tablet. The tablets do not react when I connect a USB device with otg. Could I have hurt the motherboard? Do I have a chip circuit component that I need to check on the motherboard?

Nexus 7: Why do the display asmbly rplcements look different from the original?

Mon, 06 Jun 2016 09:15:19 -0700

I was able to follow the guide and remove the display assembly from the Nexus 7 without too much difficulty. However, all of the available replacement assemblies I've been able to find (eBay, etc.) don't look the same as the part in the guide (or in my hand). They don't have the screw holes or pogo pins, and they don't have the silver border around the edge. Is there a frame to remove or do the replacement assemblies use clips instead of screws? - I'm afraid to plunk down 140 dollars and have the part shipped from China only to find it doesn't fit.

Nexus 7: What is restarting the bootloader done for, in Fast boot mode?

Sat, 17 Sep 2022 14:59:54 -0700

It powers on but doesn't get beyond the power on loading screen. I get it powered off then hold power and both volumes until the screen shows a green bot lying down with the stomach door open. At the bottom left of the screen I see

product name - grouper

variant - grouper

HW version - ER5

bootloader version - 4.23

baseband version - n/a

Serial # - 015d4906bb381410

signing - not defined yet

LOCK STATE - LOCKED

At the upper right corner I see START and arrows up and down. I push the volume down button to scroll through the options of RESTART BOOTLOADER, Recovery mode, Power off.

I tried the Recovery mode option and I only see the word GOOGLE with no further activity.

What is restart BOOTLOADER?

Nexus 7: Tablet won't turn on

Sun, 05 Dec 2021 05:43:49 -0700

Whenever I try to turn on the device it just blinks the notification light 3 times. I’ve tried charging it but no luck. Can someone help?

Figured it out. For one it was 5 blinks, not 3, and also you just need to charge it longer it seems. I recommend

90 minutes - 2 hours.

Nexus 7: Nexus 7 powers on, but is stuck on the start screen.

Tue, 27 Jul 2021 19:51:53 -0700

I tried to root my Nexus 7 using a Nexus Root Toolkit program while the device was connected to my PC. Initially I was successful, but then had issues running some apps on the device. I decided to restore my Nexus to factory settings using the root program to do so. I'm not quite sure what I did, but the device has been stuck on the start up screen ever since, with the white "Google" letters showing, and a lock in the unlocked position showing at the bottom of the screen. Nothing is affected if I touch the screen or toggle the volume buttons. If I had down the power button it simply powers off, and returns to the same screen when turned on. The Nexus Root program still recognizes the device, but does nothing if a command is run. I'm afraid that I might have "bricked" the tablet, as I had read it described.

Nexus 7 2012. Purchased a replacement battery from this site. Installed it according to the instructions. Put the tablet on a charger for 10 hours. No indication it was charging and after 10 hours tablet would not boot. Put the failing original battery back in, tablet booted. There must be something I’m missing. What does it take to get the tablet to recognize a new battery?

Nexus 7: My battery has... yellow stuff on it? Is that okay?

Fri, 10 Aug 2018 04:43:28 -0700

First off, I should explain my question. My Nexus USB port became loose. I opened it, fixed the port, and then closed it. No charge. I opened it again, this time examining the battery due to the fact the I/O assembly isn't broken. I gave it to my good friend who has a degree in PC engineering, and he said it wouldn't manually charge and to examine it to figure out what's busted. I then cut a slit in the paper concealing the cords... to reveal a circuit board thing. With yellow, sticky juice on it (I can't describe it any other way). I then examined a battery from another Nexus. The yellow stuff wasn't on it. Could this have anything to do with my Nexus not charging? What should be done (he said the positive/negative cords could need resoldered, keep that in mind). I found nothing about this anywhere else, so I can't figure it out. Also: I removed the tape from the battery/ I/O. Could that affect it?
