I’m trying not to be frustrated! My Samsung tablet is 4 years old and I love it but the battery is not holding a charge. I pretty much have to use it plugged in. About the only time I use it is in bed at night but it is was my favorite tablet. Vince decided he could change the battery. I begged . . no . . I don’t think that will work. Nope . . he could do it.
Yesterday afternoon was the day. I walked out to go take care of the chickens and Vince said “Is there anything you want to say to your tablet?” I said “Yes, I love you best of all and I am going to miss you!” Vince assured me it would be fine.
It wasn’t!
Something broke and he cannot fix it. He found someone near Dallas that he could send it too. I said NO! It’s 4 years old plus it has so much of my personal info on it that I can’t get off so I don’t want to send it through the mail for someone to work on. IF they get it it to working, there’s more on there than I want to share.
I don’t need another tablet. I just need to learn to like one of the tablets I have here. Vince asked if I was mad at him. Nope, not mad . . those things happen but you can bet as long as my tablets or Chromebooks have any life left in them, he is not convincing me that he can take it apart and put it back together again. Vince . . remember Humpty Dumpty?
Last night I was really sad to go to bed without my tablet but . . I survived.

There isn’t a best buy close to you are chad? They could fix it i bet .I wouldn’t give up getting stuff off of it.

Since it’s already dead doesn’t it have some sort of hard drive or SSD drive that could be removed and hooked up somehow so you can get your data off? If what broke had to do with the battery I wouldn’t think it affected whatever drive is in those things. Worth a try anyway.

Same thing happened here, Mike had changed out the battery in my iPhone 6 with total success so he thought he could change the battery in my four year old iPad mini–nope, killed it. To be fair the YouTube videos he watched did say it was a difficult process but my husband can usually fix anything. So, I got a new iPad mini.

We do what we can. I was perfectly satisfied with the laptop I had but Pat convinced me I should get another one. When Alicia sent us the money, he got this for me. Now I have to learn all over again what I am doing!!

We have a place here that downloaded all my computer stuff to a spare hard drive. It would not turn on anymore. Galen took it over, they downloaded everything. Gave us the hard drive back to destroy.
