Review on πŸ’» ASUS Google Nexus K008 ME571K 7" 2nd Gen Tablet - USB Charging Port Board Replacement Part with Micro USB Charger by Michael Hicks

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Failed and untested refurbished board - poor touchscreen connector

I bought this board to replace a failed USB 1.4 board in my Wi-Fi Nexus 7 Gen 2. I received a replacement board (obviously refurbished, marked "OK"). on the part with a marker and a strip of tape that essentially covers the Asus logo). I swapped out the circuit board and the USB port worked like a dream. However, after charging the tablet and trying to use it, I noticed very large "dead zones" on the touchscreen. I tried reinstalling the touchscreen ribbon but the problem persisted. I ended up removing that board and reinstalling the old one. The touchscreen worked again, but again I didn't have a working USB port. Expect a lot of trial and error/frustration as the board will not be fully tested after the overhaul.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Upgradeable
