Common Tablet Issues and How to Know If They’re Fixable

Tablets are powerful, portable, and incredibly useful — until something goes wrong. Whether you use yours for work, school, entertainment, or travel, a faulty tablet can be frustrating. But don’t toss it just yet! Many common tablet issues are surprisingly easy and affordable to fix.

Here’s a breakdown of the most frequent tablet problems and how to know if they’re repairable.

       1. Battery Won’t Hold a Charge

Symptom: Your tablet dies quickly, even after a full charge.

Possible Fix:

  • A battery replacement is usually straightforward and affordable.

  • If the tablet doesn’t charge at all, it could be the charging port — also fixable in most cases.

Fixability: Very fixable

       2. Cracked or Unresponsive Screen

Symptom: The screen is shattered, glitchy, or not responding to touch.

Possible Fix:

  • Screen replacements are one of the most common tablet repairs.

  • In some cases, only the glass is damaged, not the actual LCD — which can lower the cost.

Fixability: Very fixable (especially if internal display is still working)

       3. Tablet Won’t Charge or Turn On

Symptom: You plug it in and nothing happens.

Possible Fix:

  • Could be the charging port, battery, or internal board issue.

  • A professional diagnostic will determine if the problem is repairable — and it often is.

Fixability: Usually fixable, but depends on internal damage

       4. Wi-Fi or Bluetooth Not Working

Symptom: Trouble connecting to wireless networks or devices.

Possible Fix:

  • Could be a software glitch, antenna problem, or internal hardware issue.

  • Software fixes and part replacements are usually possible.

Fixability: Often fixable

       5. Slow Performance or App Crashes

Symptom: Tablet lags, freezes, or apps keep closing.

Possible Fix:

  • Could be storage overload, outdated software, or malware.

  • A system reset or clean-up may do the trick. Hardware upgrades are limited, but repair is possible depending on the brand.

Fixability: Likely fixable
