OK so for the past 2 or 3 months I've been really pissed. My battery started to go kinda crazy back in Late March/ April. A few days after that, I started to realise that the charger I use (The one I got in the box) wasn't doing its job. It charged for a while after plugin, then stops. So I didn't think much of it and moved on. A few weeks later again, I plug in the charger, and get the: "Plugged in,not charging" message. So I cursed it and decided to leave the battery run empty. Next day, plug in the charger, another message comes up, "Insufficient charger current". I'm really baffled now. I decide to leave it run empty again. Next few hours, plug in again. Device states that it is charging, however it is just stuck at 1%! I check the Battery Status just to be sure... 1%! And now, many months later, i'm still running on a permanent 1% battery life. If I do let it run empty, plug it back in and boot it up, it will say something like 45% or 67%, and I let it charge for a couple hours one day, it said Fully charged, I unplug it and back down to something like 66% or 37% again. I leave it run for a while again and all the way back down to 1% we go! I'm really pissed off..
My device: Acer Iconia One 7-B1 730HD
Right now it says 78% after leaving it charge after going empty.
If anyone could enlighten the situation and tell me what to do. Would I be better off buying a new battery, or just getting a new tablet. I've had this for only 7 months now, and I forget if I have a warranty on it. I don't have the receipt anyway.. Or, would I stand a chance actually being able to fix it?
NOTES: My device does last for about 3-4 hours screentime on the 1% indicator.
I have tried reflashing stock OS onto it, no luck.
I just can't do any System updates as I need a certain battery level!
Please help!!!!!
