ok this may sound stupid but have you made sure it isn't as simple as the USB cable itself? The Touchpad requires all the pins on the cable to charge. So if you have a bad cable and then swap in a different cable.. you need to be absolutely certain the new cable has all the pins. Oftentimes the cables that come with phones only have two pins since that is all they need to charge. By dead, I assume you mean you are getting NOTHING, no lights no response at all. |

I had the original kindle fire that I had to load a custom ROM on it due to it's terrible interface. It died about 6 months back and I've been holding out for the new 7. My phone is a Galaxy Nexus and I really like it.

Try this... plug it in overnight (or anything around 8 hours) then hold power and press home(center) button 10 times OR it could be vice versa... hold the home button and press the power button rapidly about 10 times Let us know if there is any response. This may totally reset it though, not sure, so expect to lose data... Last edited by AustinChief; 07-25-2013 at 08:45 PM.. |

The Nexus products will NEVER have this. And it is more than just HD. More RAM, faster CPU/GPU, rear camera, etc...

I won't even look at tablets that don't have expandable storage anymore. Only reason I got the Touchpad was because of the firesale.

Besides.. OTG allows you to hook a USB drive up to it when needed. |

I have heard from a few people that the 10X button press while holding down the other button sometimes has to be done a few times to get it to take. And that you need to push the button fairly rapidly. Worth a shot but sounds like you may have exhausted every option. |

The strangest thing is that when I plug it in to my pc, hold the power and home at the same time for 20 seconds.....my pc makes a noise after 20 or so seconds as if recognizing some activity is happening on the tablet. However, the tablet doesn't show up as an attached device in Explorer. Just strange. I think I've had enough though. I've been defeated by technology.

If and when that becomes the ONLY option I won't have a choice but until that time, I won't look at a tablet that doesn't have the expandable storage option unless it is a firesale like the touchpad. Oh, and for the record, yes I have used up all 32gb of my touchpad before. Annoyed the crap out of me. EDIT attached a pic of how ridiculous this OTG setup would be for a Touchpad.

It's not just the cost, its a matter of figuring out where to put it in the device.
Do those tablets not have bluetooth? |
