Pandigital Supernova

[reabbott]

This is a new one for me. I have a Pandigital Supernova that wont turn on. When i press the power button i get nothing, i figured maybe its the screen, so i connected the device to my computer hoping that when i power it on, my laptop will see it, but nothing. When i plug in the charger i get a green light, the battery has some power so im sure its charging. The power button has a voltage, as do other parts dotted around the board, see pic. I dont have any majorly important data on the device, just some notes, ebooks and some .pdf attachments that id like to recover if possible.

Is this beyond one man and his solder iron/multimeter ? Anyone have any advice or experience with tablets ?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Pandigital Supernova

I also have no idea about tablet PC s but I can tell this is a mobile device and unlike laptops they are thinner and less tough,
They are sensitive to drop, shake or moisture environment, you should consider all these possibilities first,
First of all check if there are any missing components, mini fractures, liquid contact or sockets for displacements,

let us know results please

Re: Pandigital Supernova

Ive had a close look over the motherboard and dont see any liquid or fractures/dry joins, it hasnt been dropped at all. I hooked up a different Li-Po battery, and still got no power.
