Lenovo Tab11

Post by Felix »

Fucked? All the wide did was put it down (Has a case) went back to it a couple of hours later. Apart from a factory reset is there anything else i can do. I was thinking along the lines of getting into bois to clear the cache like what you can do on a mobile phone using a button sequence.

Could try holding down power button and volume up. I've done that when Android fails to load (it enters 'recovery' mode) but yours looks more like a screen/touch issue.

Might be vol down or both on other devices?

Found it cheers. It was Vol down with power. Reset twice and still no joy. There is also a display test/reset what also did nothing so ill presume the screen is shot as it was also showing lines when in the Bios. Funny thing it all moving lines where i would have thought they would be still. Bloody not long out of warranty as well.

My old Lenovo Tab did that too. Just seemed to decide one day that I'd had my money's worth and cocked its e-toes up. Having been happy with it for a while I bought my missus one and that seemed to decide to retire too, although a factory reset did keep it going for a while longer. They're both in the dead technology drawer. :(

Sale of Goods Act 2015 might help you.

Consumers can expect goods not to fail prematurely, even if the reasonable life expectancy of those goods is several years. However, there is a time limit that eventually prevents consumers from making a claim through the courts.

A consumer cannot normally bring a claim to court more than six years after the breach of contract (usually the date of delivery in a contract for the sale of goods).

This does not mean all goods have to last this length of time, but this is the time limit that the law gives a consumer to take legal action.


Just because a 'one year' (if that's what you mean) warranty has expired, doesn't mean that the retailer can dismiss a claim outright.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

It's a Lenovo.........what did you expect?
I have a laptop that takes over 7 minutes to boot up, always been that slow, last of the hard drive lappies apparently.
Hateful thing, but not prepared to chuck another £4-500 at a new laptop when all I do now is turn it on, go make a brew, and hopefully we'll have the W10 login screen showing.

Got a friend with an all in one Lenovo Desktop PC who has to do just that. He dare not hut a program down when moving onto another as that will take an age to open again also. Anyway i was looking back on my ebay history and it was sold to me New and its been under a year since i bought it so i have left it in the hands of the seller

Seller shifting from Brand new to Sold as new. Dodgy bastard so got Consumer Advice Scotland onto it and apparently if under six month since purchase i have six month where the seller has to fix, replace or refund the goods. I have not had this for six month yet so i quoted the section of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 stating this and wait for his reply :D
