I've dropped my tablet into the water. It keeps restarting. What is the chance of saving it?
I can tell you a little story:A friend of mine accidentally dropped his smartphone in a pool, it was completely submerged, after very quickly picking it up....the most immediate advise we got from both the web and those so called "experts" was:a) DO NOT turn on the device (which I think you have done already, sadly). If you turn it on, electricity starts to flow possibly short-circuiting stuff and damaging the device. This is because most water can conduct electricity to certain level, because it has salts and other stuff diluted (unless it is distilled water).b) If possible take out the battery, to, again, protect it from turning on. Dry everything with a towel as best as you can.c) Drop the device and battery into a bowl (or a bowl for each) or recipient full or RICE, yes, RICE grains...so, the device kind of stays in the middle completely surrounded by RICE...like floating in RICE ..I think you get the idea.d) Leave it there for a couple of days in a dry environment and getting as much sunlight (for the heat) as possible.Explanation: RICE will absorb humidity, sun heat will help with water evaporation and whatever humidity is left there will be absorbed by the RICE grains.After a few days, take it out of the rice bowl, put in the battery and turn it on.There is a high possibility that, if it was not damaged initially with the immersion in water, and now, full dry. It will work fine.Sadly, if something was damaged by a short-circuit when turning it on initially, after it became wet or while it was wet (at least some parts...), then your device is damaged for good.In my friend's case, his phone turned on perfectly after a few days of drying in RICE grains and worked perfectly. But, that was just his case.If you decide on trying this, AT YOUR OWN RISK, let us know how it works.Good luck.
Brother dropped my tablet and the screen turned super bright?! Please help!?
My brother just dropped my tablet, there are no cracks in the screen or anything, just it tuned super bright! I tried turning the brightness down and that didn't help much at all. Is there a way of fixing it? Please help, Its my school tablet and if I break it I have to pay to replace the tablet for my school. Thanks!
How can I re-purpose an old Android tablet? Currently it's sitting on my desk as a clock. ;)
There are more ways to repurpose that old Android tablet than you can imagine, really. Just google it and keep reading on their many uses. It’s amazing what you can still do with even an old single core android tablet, but more so with a fast dual core, or a decent quad core model.

I sat on my tablet and now it won't work! Help!?
So I have a 10.1 inch Digiland tablet from android that I got a few months ago for christmas. A few minutes ago I got up to go to the bathroom and I put my tablet down on the chair. When I came back I sat down without looking. As soon as I felt my tablet under me I stood up and looked at it. The screen is now cracked and the bottom half of the screen looks weird, like it's not registering any pixels or something and my touch won't register. I can still turn it on and off but that's about it. What should I do? Please help!?!
I dropped My Laptop, Now Keyboard won't Work!
I was leaving work today and dropped my laptop. I immediately picked it up to make sure it would power on, and to make sure the screen was okay. I didn't think to check anything else. So when i got home, i tried to use it and the keyboard does not work!. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it an easy fix? Or should i expect to bring it somewhere and wait a week before i can use it again? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
