Hipstreet Vanguard 2 Tablet, using Android Lollipop refuses to boot up. Have tried the opened paperclip method, to get a factory boot, but nothin, does not even light up. This unit has been to Ontario, Canada, twice to the repair centre. Two or three days operation, after each 10 to 20 day absence, does not make for a useful device, imho. Edited, by adding remarks: Used 2 different, known-good power supplies, with no response. Tested the Vanguard 2’s power supply on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, and the Galaxy happily charged on it! Tested the Vanguard 2 on my acer Aspire Win 10 Laptop, which did not ‘see’ it. The Aspire Win 10 Laptop ‘sees’ my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 just fine. : I plan on opening up the Vanguard 2’s case, this weekend, to see if the Power Switch is faulty. (I am a retired Seismic Surveyor, who opened up a Wang 600 to swap out a faulty built-in printer, as my first venture into non-survey-instrument surgery!). I have a couple different bench-top multi-clamp devices, plus a 6" diameter magnifying-glass c/w built-in lamp.
Hi, I found this, hopefully it may work for your models. http://zolygon.com/?p=1745
Press and hold the power button for 15seconds. Walla
I have taken an old Casio charger 5vdc 2 amp and cut the wires and soldered it to a micro USB plug I used the white/red and a purple test it on an old device to make sure you have it right. I then started the high current charge and at first it looked good . After an hour it said 35% so I turned it on and it fell to 12% in a minute. I plugged it back in and checked for battery utilites, there was one battery pro that said it had 5 inactive cells and it then said it could fix them . Right now I have been using the tablet but software should not fix a battery and I think I will try to find a replacement on eBay. I do have an old old Pandigital and that battery still works good after 8 years.
MY VENTURE CASE FOR MY SAMSUNG TAB 3 10.1 was not being used for several months. When I restarted it the key board was charged and the top letters would not work Q-P however ty worked. All other aspects worked. Is there something I can do to fix it?
