Nexus 7 repair

Recently my Nexus 7 tablet refused to boot up into Android 5.1.1. It appears the flash memory developed some kind of unrecoverable error. I found a refurbished motherboard on ebay through Ascendtech list as “ASUS NEXUS 7″ ME571K SERIES 32GB TABLET MOTHERBOARD 60NK0080-MB2700 31YF2MB00E0”. Yesterday, Mason was able to install this in maybe 20 minutes. Most difficult part is getting the case open and fussing with the cables and connectors that disconnect in somewhat non-obvious ways. One screw was covered with a piece of round tape so it didn’t look like a screw.

Now it is like a brand-new device again, and updated to Android 6.0.
