Asus tablet

[wil7985]

My asus memo won't charge or power up, just shows the battery icon, I have tried various chargers etc and holding the volume+power button, any ideas you clever people?. Someone said try a long charge via the pc usb port- still nothing.

Is there a pin push reset button anywhere?

I have't got one of these but this is what I've found on the web

There is one method available for resetting the Asus Memo to its factory settings. Through Android’s boot-up recovery mode, it is possible to erase all of your personal data and re-install Android as if it were a new device.

Once this is done, any software errors that may have accumulated on your system will have been erased, along with everything else. If you have your backup prepared, then you are ready to begin the process:

With the tablet off, push and hold the Power & Volume Down keys (for some terminals this works with the Volume Up button instead).
A small menu will appear. Select the second option, “Recovery Mode”.
Select Wipe Data/Factory Reset from the available options.
Enter Yes to confirm and let the device initialize.

There is also a reset button located as shown in the picture below.

Yes Andriod devices sometimes report incorrect battery readings although if youve used it and it wont go into charge Mode when tab is in Power Down state.
then it could be battery completely flat to the point the device cant even run the charging program, Leaving it plugged in for 5 mins usually works to sort this.
Or problem with the mini usb port, i've had a couple of things this has happened to and the mini usb can be oversensitive if the lead is pull to hard which prevents the contacts making connection. Both of mine got fixed at local place that does repair's about £30-40 for someone to take it appart and replace port with a new one.
The only other thing is the battery is knackered, but you should have got a feeling it was on its way out for a good time before it died.
