Will it be less expensive to have repaired or buy new HDTV?

My 36" RCA 9yr. old TV has half a picture with the upper half compressed. Do I bother having it repaired or looked at? This TV has guide plus as a feature that does not maintain the channel lineup. I do not have any controls on the TV to fiddle with. It has an on screen menu that now is also half compressed.

If the only part effected is the upper half, then the problem is a defective capacitor in the vertical circuit. This is a relatively simple repair for any service shop. Expect a parts cost in the $20 range. They should also be checking for poor solder connections at the vertical IC as well.

The vertical deflection amplifier has failed. They should be able to find the bad part easily. Get a quote before they begin and decide the economics of it. The actaul bad part is probably less than $10 cost.

My rca rct6973w43 tablet still has marshmallow 6.0 will i ever get an update on the next o.s.?

The RCA RCT6973W43 will probably not get an OS update. This tablet was listed on Amazon's site in 2017. RCA would rather you buy a new gadget instead of making patches and updates compatible with their hardware. Google expects the manufacturer (for tablets and some phones) or the provider (most cell phones) to handle the updates. For the low-end tablets, like this RCA RCT6973W43, this means very minimal support for at most 1 year. For more expensive devices, you won't get updates for more than two-three years. Even Google branded devices don't get more than 5 years of updates.

I wish that I had better news for you.

My lad dropped his Google nexus 7 and it has stopped working , where can we send it to be repaired

Contact ASUS for a listing of authorised repairers for the Asus Nexus 7 or it may be listed in the user manual or in a separate document included in the original box.

If you have one of the cheaper basic models it will most likely not be worth repairing as it will cost around the same to replace it and possibly less depending on which model you buy and the amount of damage. It is difficult for repairers of these items to quote on repair costs because they often don't know what the internal problems are until they run tests and dismantle it. Also if the damage is not repairable you will incur a service charge in any event.
If it is one of the less expensive models I would not bother with a repair but buy a new one and wear the loss.

Why is the screen going black on my RCA 7 inch tablet?

If you cannot bang it back to life then get a new one and don't drop that one. Repair is too expensive.

Have to fiddles with charger to get it to charge but then takes six hours to get to 40% tablet less then year old it's a akai

When there is debris in the connector, you could thy to blow it out with a bellow, used to clean cameras. When there is a loose contact in the tablet, I think you better buy a new one, because repairs could cost more.

Tablet won't charge

Check your charging pin. Is it loose? Is it moving or pushed backwards. The charging pins on most of the less expensive tablets are malfunctioning. 4 tablets I've recieved had terrible problem that way. Mostly unfixable, unless that's the problem and you know how the solder such things. Also try a new micro usb and a different electrical outlet, good luck!

My 9" tablet's screen has broken where can i repair it. Am in Springs Ekurhuleni South Africa. My name is Pumeza. my email is [email protected]

It's at all not worth repairing this old device. the screen can cost more than half the cost of a new tablet, unless the crack is only on the touch panel which is the clear glass mounted directly above the screen. In most tablets, both must be replaced because dismantling the screen or touch panel will usually damage the other. Better to buy a new tablet.

Where can I get a screen replacement instructions for the Kocaso M776 Tablet

Don\'t bother. Replacing a broken screen is not a job for an amateur, as most electronic devices glue them in place with a special adhesive, in addition to the problems of getting the wires hooked up properly, or even finding a way to open the device. As for professional repair: it is more expensive in most cases to have the screen replaced than it is to buy a new tablet.
