Hi Folks,
We've had a 2013 Nexus 7 for 1.5 years and it's been a great device. Always on stock Android OS. so we get OTAs periodically.
While away, the Nexus battery ran down because my daughter had kept it on before we left. We wirelessly charged it again - i.e., the USB port has been broken for the past year - and booted it up.
Despite seeing the usual animated lock screen and hearing notifications in the background, the touch screen was not responding to input.
I tried powering down/up, then got the "Google" logo and a hang.
On a weird idea from a different forum, I powered down, opened the back and reseated the thinner connector which travels over the battery, then rebooted. It worked!
But, the touchscreen is still not responding on the lock screen.
Ideas welcome, please.
