The battery in my Nexus 7 will not charge. how do i replace it.

just google it many wideos on it.

Pop the back cover off. It's real easy - you can use a credit card or even your fingernails. Carefully prise all around the edges. It'll come off quite easily. Looking from the rear with USB port at the bottom, you'll see the left side if the unit is occupied by a large rectangular battery. At the top right of the battery is a connector with six wires. Gently disconnect the connector from the main board. Leave disconnected for about 30-60 seconds and then plug it back in.

Put the back cover back on, and then plug in the charger.

You Nexus will charge fine.

Press and hold Volume Down, and then press and hold Power simultaneously until the device turns on.

Hope that helps!

I've got one also, so that's a worry. You mean you have tried all this stuff?

Hi check out E/BAY. .. cheers

Charge your nexus using the ASUS wall charger that came with your nexus.
Once you connect your Nexus to the wall, just push the power button once (do not hold). A battery animation should appear showing that the tablet is charging. Let it sit for a while, then power it up.

If you suspect it's a hardware problem and if you feel comfortable opening up your device, please let me know so I can give you a step by step walk through to figure out what exactly is going on with your device.

You can try a hard reset. Hold down the power button and the volume buttons at the same time. The device should then power on and you can follow the on-screen prompts.

Hope that helps!

The battery connector in the Nexus 7 (2012 model) is notoriously problematic. Sometimes dropping the device can cause issues that prevent the Nexus 7 from charging altogether. A hard reset may not work. Fortunately, it is quite easy to fix.

However this will void your warranty. Pop the back of the Nexus 7 case open by pushing a credit card or guitar pick or small screwdriver under the edge of the black plastic case. Start from the top and gently pry the case open, working your way around. The back of the case will come off quite easily. The battery occupies the bulk of the left-hand side of the unit, and a group of six wires come out of the top of the battery to a connector on the circuit board. Gently push the plug out of the socket connector, wait 15 seconds, and push it back in. Snap the case back on and plug in your charger. You should now see the battery charge image appear.

Sorry to hear/read this.
First, try get a new charger and plug your Google nexus 7. Suspect a dead battery with no charge left on it.

Otherwise, confirm your charger isn't just lighting up whereas it isn't delivering any charge current to your device.

Next to try if your ac charger is confirmed good is to attempt replacing the battery; at the store, have them insert a compatible/similar battery and then try power on your device.

NOTE:
New batteries at the point of purchase have some charge on them; sufficient to power on your device.

Device not power on, DON'T PURCHASE NEW BATTERY. Obviously, you don't have a power/battery problem.

Device power on, then you either have a battery that has failed or that your device's charging port needs to be serviced or repaired.

Please post update/feedback asap. Thanks
