I fell asleep this week listening to google play music with the tablet plugged in.

The next morning it would not turn on although the white power light was lit. I left it plugged in and tried again later, took the battery out reseated it, tried to power it with the batter in, battery out, no good. No response whatsoever.

However since the first day after its death, the white power led on the tablet no longer lights.

The charger seems to work, it has its own white led lit and it can power other tablets and phones. I have used a different charger lead. Still no joy.

Should the tablet be able to work without a battery in it if it is given the right juice?

Are these power supplies known to fade? The battery seemed pretty good considering it is 18 months old, I was still getting 4-5 hours or more and no warnings.

Is there anything I can do to prove if it is the battery, the PSU or the tablet which has failed?

cheers,
