2 [Fixed] Tablet constantly reboots, even after factory reset
Greetings,
I recently got a Nexus 7 2nd gen to repair and it is constantly rebooting and the power button wasn't working. I changed the power and volume buttons strip, and now the button does work, but the tablet still reboots. Here is the troubleshooting I did so far:
- Looked for any damage or dirt on the motherboard (there isn't)
- Unplugged and plugged back the battery
- Tried a factory reset via unlocking
- Re-flashed the boot loader
The tablet reboots about every 8 seconds, so it looks like the power button is stuck, but physically, it isn't. If I press repeatedly on the button, the tablet boots all the way to Android. If I stop, the tablet reboots after 8 seconds.
I need to know if I'm missing something before looking for a replacement motherboard.
Thank you in advance
EDIT: I finally went and bought a replacement motherboard (It is quite cheap and fits within the repair budget), and everything is running smoothly.
Bu iyi bir soru mu?

have you tried booting with the power flex unplugged?

I didn't try that, but as far as I know, these devices won't start if there isn't a battery, or enough charge in it, even if it's plugged to a charger.

No, I mean the flex cable with the power buttons unplugged, but battery in. You can probably still sell the motherboard on ebay for a bit if it is just a bad fpc connector.
