Nexus 'Seven' Four years old, had little use, but been problem-free over this period.
Intermittent problem:
Initial 'lock-screen' will not respond to swipe to unlock: nothing I can do with it.
It is not the faulty screen location, as problem remains when device rotated to locate lock on fresh part of screen.
Complete power-down and re-boot does not fix the problem.
I can spend ages trying to unlock, with no response, then spontaneously, it works, and continues for a while (days, weeks) only to once again relapse!
In my experience, such-like symptoms are usually caused by dodgy connections somewhere!
Not sure if a four-year-old tablet is worth the cost of a professional repair. On the other hand, this 'cheapy' has the features required by me, and some of today's expensive jobs DO NOT!
Guess if I searched, will probably find a tear-down on Youtube, but I have never delved into the innards of a tablet before. Cannot even see where to open it!
Any ideas?
Anyone any experience repairing tablets?
