Why would u fix the screen of a "bricked" n7? Unless it still fully functions?

Excuse me, by bricked i meant it is completely unusable. The screen is broken. I can see everything when i wake it up, but no touch responsiveness at all, it is essentially a fancy looking brick. It can be fixed, just needs a new screen.

Haha ok I get what u mean. Here's the only Site that I know of that offers replacement screens, they are however in "used" condition and will run u about $130.

According to some n7 owner experiences sending into Asus to fix it could cost anywhere from 75-150 including parts replacement, and labor fees. It might be in ur best interest to just buy a new one

It's a shame i know exactly what's wrong with it. I doubt I'd get away for less than 150 for an entire screen replacement. I could buy a whole new one, they're just so darn sweet. I've adopted a new way of life with this thing. My home built pc is getting jealous over this thing.

Oh and by the way, it says that product isn't available yet. Manufacturers haven't released the parts yet.

It's all good. Maybe I'll part my broken n7 out on eBay to pay for a new one

(Q) is it normal for these screens.

Never owned a IPS screen or so.
Is it normal to have yellow tint on the edges when having a black background ? When I have a white background its pure white ( saw someone with yellow tint on white background) .

Nope. That is one of the problems that some users are facing. You should RMA your 7.
It would be pretty bogus if that was how ALL IPS screens were, lol.

True. After hours or researched. I came up with not much to go off by lol.
PC screens with IPS screens were saying that yellow tint were cause by a glue not being dry out evaporated yet and the more you use it they tend to just go away and get Better. I guess iPad 2 had similar problems. Most of them advice to use it more and they will go away so I might try that . I'd hate to be without this for a week to 2 weeks. But then again I got mine at Sams but their put and no way of knowing when they we will one.
Didn't happen doh until I got some heavy duty gaming last night. So might have gotten hot and was evaporating the left over glue? Lol correct me if I am wrong but that's what I gather so far..

I don't have it in mine and don't know much about it but my roommates IPS monitor NEVER had a yellow tint.
And Google will do an advanced RMA where they send you one and put a hold on your credit card until you send the other one back.

Stuck Pixels?

I have had my Nexus 7 for around 3 weeks, it was perfect, I was so happy with it and I had no problems with the screen lift/bleed like many other people. I knew it was risky to buy the first batch after all of the problems reported on these forums, but now my Nexus 7 has the blue and red stuck pixels that are only visible on a black background with the brightness turned up, I can also see them when I boot the tablet. I have added pictures below, although it makes it look like the screen is bleeding, it is not, it is just the way the photo was taken. I bought it from Tesco Direct so I have a week left to return it, should I or is it risky because I could get a device with even more faults?
Thanks
From those photos it looks like there is no problem at all. Where are we supposed to be looking? Are they in the middle of the screen?
The judgement call is yours. Can you live with the fault? If you can't take it back. The chances of repeatedly getting a dud are slim.

Yes. It is the purple streak, sorry for being unclear, this is my first post on this forum, I guess I should have circled it in red.
You could try one of the many dead pixel apps from google play

How would this work?

I know a lot of people are having screen tacking issues, but how would those be handled? Could I send it in to Asus to get it repaired, for a cost? Or would I have to send it to someone else
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
You have a 1 year warranty.
Anything goes wrong and they must fix it for free, assuming the fault is a result of a design error, or manufactoring defect.
Damage inflicted to the device by the user cannot be warrantied, and is up to the user to repair or replace.
In the case of screen lifting, your warranty will cover it.
As for the warranty procedure, im unsure sorry.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk 2
Okay. So will I be able to send it in to repair if it was user error?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
If I paid money. Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Im not sure if they're doing paid repairs at the moment, sorry.
If the screen broke you may be able to say it was as a result of the display lifting though.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk 2
Okay thanks. The only concern I have is that thy may be able to say that it is my fault because I messed with the screws trying to fix if
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I think unless its just absolutely obviously that you opened the device they will JUST CHECK THE SCREEN then send you a replacement. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE with this tablet..
if you got it from the play store its best to call google and get a rma for it . Do not ask questions do not give information other then screen is lifting up on left side.. NOw if you opened it and broke something else or striped out screw holes. well now then that would be on YOU..
Good Luck
Thanks. Thanks

Just got mine!

Oh my, finally an Android tablet that doesnt feel like a downgrade from an Android mobile phone.
Nice lcd screen, nice weight balance, nice keyboard and most of all so smooth, exactly like the Note 2 I had before.
I'm not a big fan of Touchwiz but on this tablet it actually seems to make more sense than in a phone.
I've wasted a lot of money on Android tablets, hope this one lasts me for a while lol!

Yeah just found I have bad light bleed. I'm going to try to get it replaced. It's only annoying when watching videos though.

In portrait mode top left on about 4-5cm and top right side 2-3cm. Shop wouldn't replace it... It's true that in normal use you don't see it, only with dark movies. My Tab2 was as bad or worse but on the 10.1 screen it wasn't so bothersome.
If it bothers me I will try to send it in under warranty.

I dont know I'm living with it for now. Fact is that when you flex the tablet the whole screen goes black or white so probably there is something with how these tablets are built. Also if I press at the spot the light bleed disappears...

Welcome to the club! While I was very happy with mine out of the box I'm getting a lot of pleasure out of tweeking the performance and trying out different apps to take advantage of the stylus (in between playing a shed load of games that wouldnt run on my old tablet).
There is no need to open a new thread because you bought the tablet. Imagine everyone who buys Galaxy Note 8.0 to open a new thread.

nexus 10 still worth it?

So i just received some money i was thinking about getting a tablet so i was looking at the nexus 10 still worth it?
I just got mine a week ago. I love it. I have both the N4 and the N7. I wasn't planning on getting the N10 but a friend of mine made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
The display is something you have to see to believe. If you are in the market for a 10" tablet you'd be hard pressed to find a tab with this resolution and SOC for the price. Not to mention its a Nexus.

Best Android tablet on the market.
I'm happy with mine, it may the best Android 10" tablet right now. With such a strong developer community supporting it, I'll probably have mine for a couple years before I worry about replacing it.
Man cut it out with the screen he has to see it to belive it .
It s normal screen with very good clarity but the blacks are really bad in compare to the espectations. it s a nice screen when you throw an image to it but not perfect . The collors are not that good and it suffers from light bleed .
Nexus 10 still worth every penny now BUT only if you get a unit without problems . I hope now things has improved in the Quality Control departament .
If you get one with problems, you pay for a nightmare .

Well i hope i don't get no light bleed what app is it that i need to get to check to see if i get light bleed just order mine today should get here by wednesday.
From market -> Backlight Bleed Test -> select black color -> enjoy
Don t worry so much . i think yours its ok ... Maybe a new revision ..
Search for more info in the forum . you get the ideea

light bleed is placebo
colors could be better, i agree
Test for power issues, those will be the hardest to get fixed. Took me months to get mine fixed.

What kind of po issues are you referring to? I own a Nexus 10 since yesterday. I noticed that it loads the battery really slow. If it is plugged in during normal usage, it just keeps its battery level. Are you talking about that?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda premium
Get use with that ... You will charge it in 6 hours from 0 to 100
Patience first 2 3 cycles ... Healty for battery

After a bit of use (or some games), the battery level becomes "stuck" (or while asleep a while), and plugging/unplugging a charger reboots the device. THEN and ONLY then will it show the correct value.
