[AC Question]

when i switch my hudl on the powered by android comes on and the battery symbol but then the tablet goes off. charged all day yesterday, today tried to reset and hold power button. What else can I do?

Bring it into a repair shop - evidently it's not a problem of not being connected to a charger.

I had exactly this on 3 occasions. Each time it was a different problem and needed a different solution.
1) The micro USB plug was not making contact with the Hudl.

Solution: I just used a new lead.​

2) The original charger started making a very intermittent connection on its USB socket but it did charge from my computer.

Solution: I just got another USB charger.​

3) I could not charge it at all from the charger or a computer with any lead and the micro USB plug was a loose fit.

Solution: I bought a new charger port from a seller on eBay called cambridge_accessories. It cose £3.99 including postage. I am an electronic engineer so fitted it myself. However, it is a bit fiddly to open and fit it so take it to someone who has those skills if you don't yourself. There is a good YouTube video showing you how to open it.​

So bottom line - unless you have the skill and experience to do the work yourself ... bring it to a repair shop.
