dammit! my aldi 8" android tablet just died. well, the micro usb port has come loose and it isnt taking a charge. And i cant access any of the data on it, although i dont have really much if any 'data' to worry about on it....

but still it is a pain not to have it, and i dont like sending things away to be fixed, im ocd and just dont trust people i dont know with my stuff...

grrr

If it's from Aldi, the device is probably made by Medion. The quality of their products is massively poor. Everything is designed to last a short time and be disposable. If you send it away for repair, be ready not to see it for at least a couple of months with a fair share of headaches along the way.

I guess you get what you pay for.

You are better of pulling it apart and trying to fix it yourself. It may not be too difficult as it sounds more like a loose connector or cable.

Bought one for our daughter as a Xmas present and it died 3 weeks after. It's already been sent back and they confirmed it's faulty (same as yours, won't hold a charge) and now we're just waiting on a replacement which happens to be the next model up. I said to the wife when we get it, we should just sell it on eBay and use the money to buy something better to avoid being in the same situation 3 weeks from now.

i will freely admit that they are not the best, and are probably one of if not the cheapest on the market, but it has worked fine forme for the past seven months or whatever since i bought it. i now prefer it to my now very slow netbook. Albeit their are programs that will only work in windows...

im happy with it, just wish it would still charge.
when the girl on the helpdesk said it would be fixed in week+half it sounded dubious.
how does one get into these tablets?
