Battery Symbol With Triangle/Exclamation Point On Screen

[fredregillc]

I was using my android tablet (MID--google tablet) and the battery was getting low. I plugged it up to charge and when I went back to use it about an hour later, there was a black screen with a battery on it. There is a triangle with an exclamation point in it. I unplugged the charger and tried to turn it on, but when I hold the power button, that pops up instead of starting the tablet.
I have no idea what is wrong with it or how to fix it.

Any ideas? What can I do to fix it?? I use my tablet ALL the time!

I really appreciate the help...TIA!

I have tried the volume+power, but nothing....I have also pushed the reset button....how do you do a hard reset?

Just curious is that a mid 9.7 screen I had the same thing except it was the android guy on his back with the same exclamation mark!
Not too sure of buttons to press or if we have the same unit or not, I gave up on mine, did everything I knew but throw it out the window! I took mine back waiting for a new one any day now ?
Just muck around with the buttons you'll find it eventually.
good luck

It is google android F10 Android 4.0 7 in Capacitive Tablet PC....
It's driving me crazy, not knowing how to fix it!

looks like its not charging, that screen means it needs charging before it will turn back on.

battery or charger fault? have you got a multimeter to test either?

 

[fredregillc]

Where do I take it to test the battery? I had it plugged up charging all night and it still had that this morning.
I am not sure what a multimeter is?? I have tried the wall charger and also the adapter to the computer...neither worked...when I plugged it into the computer the computer chimed like it does when there is something connected to the port, but nothing ever came up on computer or tablet.
Thanks!

o dear.

if you dont know what a multimeter is, take it somewhere to be repaired - unless you want to learn basic electronics quickly

the multimeter would be used on the battery connections to check the battery is ok, and if the charger is charging.

I've had the same thing happen to my tablet, what is odd is that sometimes it charges okay and then it will go back to refusing to charge or turn on. Have you had any luck so far?

Dear PakastaniKing, the 9" Polaroid Tablet Quad Core doesn't have easily detachable connections from the batter to the motherboard. They are soldered together. Do you have any other options?

I had exactly this problem just now on my Samsung tablet. I was using a low voltage plug (9v output). With this I was getting the same problem you just mentioned; black screen, battery with a triangle and an exclamation mark.
I decided to try a higher voltage charger, and hey presto, the problem was instantly fixed.
Hope this helps.

@Edward Lawrence : After seven years he's not likely to see what you wrote and may not even have the tablet anymore.

The beauty of the internet is that it's timeless. Whilst the OP may never even see the message, a guy like me with the same problem on my phone WILL see it seven years later. If you have knowledge...share it. Have a good day.

@nnapstrebor Your post would be relevant if Mr. Lawrence had not quoted the OP in his post. He did, and therefore was addressing the OP specifically. Ergo, my response on a seven year old thread.

P.S. Just to point this out, but nothing lasts forever, ESPECIALLY on the Internet. Responses like yours are an example of why this site frowns on reviving dead threads. More often than not the responses from the point of revival serve no real purpose, so before things get out of hand here, this thread is closed.
