Buying the Right Tablet and eBook Parts for the Slate 7
Having a Slate 7 tablet means that you can read eBooks, listen to music, and browse the Internet on a 7-inch Android tablet. Like many other electronic devices, however, sometimes damaged or broken parts require replacement, so being familiar with this device and some of its parts can help you to painlessly make any required repairs.
What Is the HP Slate 7 Tablet?
An Android device that runs the Jelly Bean operating system, the Slate 7 is an all-in-one entertainment and media device coupled with an eReader that boasts some notable features.
- This model has 1 GB of memory and 8 GB of storage space for games, photos, or books.
- The processor is an A9 dual-core model that offers 1.6 GHz of power.
- The tablet has a 7-inch screen, and the HP Slate offers stereo-quality sound via the Beats Audio sound system. There's also an audio jack, so you can plug headphones in and listen privately or watch movies without disturbing others.
Which Internal Parts Can You Replace?
The Slate 7 is comprised of many complex parts, and some of the components that may need a replacement can represent a frustration-free fix.
- Sometimes batteries wear out, even if they're rechargeable ones. To that end, you can replace your HP Slate battery with a new one when your tablet runs out of juice.
- You can expand your storage via a microSD card that you can switch out when it fills up and pop in a new one. This gives you additional storage in an affordable and hassle-free way.
- The logic board (or motherboard) of your device is the heart of your Slate. When it stops working, it can affect your entire 1 GB tablet, but replacing it isn't difficult with some time and the right tools.
Which External Parts Are Replaceable?
What's on the inside definitely counts, but external components may need some adjustment, too, and there are a few outer products of your tablet that are replaceable with ease.
- When your display has a compromised view because of a crack or a break, replace the entire digitizer assembly to continue to use your 7-inch tablet.
- If the power button won't come on, has fallen off, or is stuck, you can repair it or replace it with a new button and get your tablet powered up again.
- The front-facing camera along with the flex module are also replaceable, so you can keep using both cameras for snapping photos or video chatting when you desire.
