Asus Memo Pad 7 ME176cx will not charge or turn on..

[Bubzie]

I have an Asus Memo Pad 7 ME176cx that I purchased last year. It has worked great up until a week or so ago. It will not charge and it will not turn on.

I have tried everything I have read online. I have tried to trickle charge it for 8-10 hours with a powered USB slot on my computer, I have tried to use the wall charger with the AC unit, I have tried to disconnect and reconnect the battery after 25-30 minutes. It is not responsive. I have held the power button down for 60 seconds plus. I have held down the power and volume-down buttons together. Nothing seems to be working and I'm at a loss.

My warranty is up, and I'm wondering if I should just purchase another tablet and be done with this. I don't necessarily want to, considering I'm not rolling in benjamins, but I have no ideas as to what else I can do.

If anyone can give me any sort of advice, I'd really appreciate it!

Well, before buying a new one, you can try testing the charging cord. See if it works in a different device. If it works in the other device, it isn't the cord.

The other option is replacing the battery. It could just not hold a charge any longer.

I appreciate your response webworkings

I have been searching for a battery it seems high and low for the past few days, now that I've tinkered and figured out how to remove the old one, but I can't seem to find a replacement.

Do you by chance have any ideas as to a good site I can order one from? I've googled the battery (C11Pn51) along with the model (K013) and the only things that pop up are tutorials on how to 'fix' the device.

Odd. When I searched google I found a lot of batteries listed for sale. They were from all over the world, and the price ranges were just wild. However there were quite a lot listed. Here is the list I pulled up... https/www.google.com/search?q=battery+C11Pn51&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
