In the last months, the battery of my S2 tablet was draining really quickly, untill it died and I wasn’t able to recharge it. So, I thought that the battery was dead (it served me for a bunch of years so it could have been acceptable) and I ordered on Amazon a new battery to replace it.
After replacing the battery, though, the tablet turned on saying the new battery was at 50% and, when plugged in, it was acting as if it was charging. Apart from the fact that it wasn’t charging the battery that instead was quickly draining even if plugged in.
Obviously I tried cleaning the charging port, changing cable, changing power adapter, changing socket on the wall, but nothing worked. So I assumed that the new battery they sent me was broken and I purchased a new one but when it arrived: exactly same situation.
Could it be that I was very unlucky and I got a broken new battery twice? Or maybe the problem is somewhere else? Did anyone encounter a similar issue?
In the end I gave up with my attempt to self repair the tablet and returned the battery to Amazon. I’ll probably bring it to a Samsung store and ask them what’s wrong with it. But thank you for your reply!
