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.

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Could be storage overload, outdated software, or malware.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