Mine decided it wanted to have a spicy pillow. I can see the backplate bulging a tad. It’s been unplugged since December now.

Might be able to repair it depending in whats wrong

ah, well it was charged up with a full battery and working and then it was just dead. won’t come on again and the charging LED does not light up anymore despite different cords and adapters being tried. pretty sure it’s a dead motherboard.

I think that’s a relatively common issue that can be fixed by resetting the battery. I think it starts by loading it for a day even when the indicator isn’t lighting up.
Look it up, I might be wrong.
