Tablets are a great tool for entertainment and work. However, like all tech devices, they are not impervious to daily use and, over time, battery issues, screen defects and a myriad of other possible performance concerns can occasionally pop up. Regardless of whether you own a tablet made by Apple, Samsung or another manufacturer, if your tablet is showing performance issues, how do you know when to stop troubleshooting and take it to a Tablet Repair Service.
To give you an idea of when to consider a battery replacement or other tablet repair service, here is our list of the 10 most common signs that will require an experienced tablet repair service.
1. Broken or Cracked Screen.
One of the most obvious, and most common reason to seek a tablet repair service will be due to a cracked screen. Although it may seem superficial, even small surface fractures can cause screen sensitivity issues, visual quality and make your tablet more vulnerable to additional damage. Instead of waiting too long, the sooner a screen replacement is complete, and the device is back to normal may prevent you from costly repairs down the road.
2. Non-responsive Touchscreen.
It can be very frustrating when you touch or tap your screen only to find it ‘unresponsive’ to your action or gesture. When this happens, your device does nothing which seems like just an inconvenience. However, if your touchscreen is unresponsive to touch actions and gestures or first responds to only some taps, but then doesn’t respond to other taps, then this can indicate you have an unresponsive touchscreen as opposed to just an inconvenience. An unresponsive touch screen may signify the digitizer is failing or internal hardware has failed or is failing which may be able to be repaired by a competent Tablet Repair Service.
3. Battery Drain
A tablet that no longer holds a charge may have a dying battery or an internal charging issue. If you have tried software updates or changed your use and the above steps does not resolve the issue, it may be time to consider a Tablet Repair Service and replace the battery or inspect the device further in depth.
4. Overheating
While tablet can feel warm during use or will heat up overall, if the tablet is consistently hot that could be an indicator that the battery is faulty, the processor isn’t working correctly, or the software has issues causing it to run constantly. A Tablet Repair Service can run diagnostic tests to reveal the problem and place appropriate fix.
5. Charging
If your device only charges when the charging cable is positioned at a certain angle or if it does not charges at all, you may have a fault in the charging port. A Tablet Repair Service can clean, repair, or replace the charging port to allow the device to charge properly again.
6. Slowness or Freezing
You may notice that a complement tablet becomes slow, freezes, or crashes frequently, turning the tablet that was once fast to frustrating. Many times, you can fix frequent slowness or freezing by performing software updates or a factory reset, but if the pain continues and tablets into a frustrating device, you may want to consider a Tablet Repair Service to examine for failing components or corrupted system files.
7. Sound or Distorted Audio
If your speakers stop working or the sound becomes distorted, it might be a sign of a damaged speaker, loose connection, or internal audio board problem. A Tablet Repair Service can pinpoint whether the issue is hardware or software-related.
8. Non-Functioning Camera
A camera that stops working or produces a distorted image can affect everything from video calls, to scanning documents. Whether it’s a blocked lens, malfunctioning sensor, or software glitch, a Tablet Repair Service can repair or replace the necessary components.
9. Connectivity Problems (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth)
If you’re consistently experiencing dropped Wi-Fi or your tablet will not connect to a Bluetooth device, it could be a sign that your internal antenna has been damaged or your network chip is failing. An experienced Tablet Repair Service provider will test for signs of a hardware fault and replace faulty hardware components if necessary.
10. Physical Damage or Water Damage
If your tablet has been dropped, bent, or has been exposed to water, you should go to a Tablet Repair Service as quickly as possible. Even if the device seems to be functioning, there may be internal corrosion or cracks that could lead to latency before failing altogether.
