@Philip de Jongh Google "NEC tokin". Look at images & you'll see the original, large cap + the four, smaller ones that many people reported do a better job. Apparently, if you replace with the same NEC, it'll happen again. Good luck
The one I have I’ve tried every-which-a-way. I even used alcohol to clean the ribbon cable thinking it might have corrosion (which works on a lot of them!)— no go. Are these netbooks known to have sh*t keyboards? Is it worth trying another, or is it the socket at fault? What a sh*t thing to foist off to the public, ASUS!
If you're lucky, you'll replace the battery & off you go.
Unfortunately, a whole LOT of folks do this, to no avail.
If you pop for the new battery, keep the packing as new as you can in case it's NOT the issue-- at least you might recoup some of the money on Ebay.
After that, also sell your tablet on Ebay for parts because, with some units, you can change out parts all day long & it'll just never run again. Better to count your losses & do some homework this time to hopefully buy a more dependable product.
This series is just shocking at how many people have dead tablets in TWO years!
Shame on Samsung, for not recalling them. I guess they're big enough not to care....
