Was having the exact same issue with my nexus 7 1st gen suddenly not able to charge , went to Asus service center and as the warranty has run out, Asus CSO told me that to replace the motherboard or battery (which they claim is the root cause) will cost me ~$300 or ~$120 respectively.

Thank goodness I didn't bite the bait as I have manage to rectify the problem without spending a single cent !!! Apparently , this is a known problem which is affecting many Nexus 7 users and google has recently ack the fault and looking at the cause of the problem .

Google Nexus 7 slow charging issue reported by users, potential fixes put forward

For those having the same issue and has no warranty left on your tablet, can try the following (if you want) which solve the problem for me.

1 - Turn off tablet

2 - Remove the back cover

3 - Disconnect battery connection

4 - Remove the micro-screws to the speaker and the micro-USB charging port/headphone jack unit.

5 - Disconnect the micro-USB(charging port) connector from the ribbon

6 - re-seat and reconnect all the connectors.

Got this from google product forum and it worked for me. What I also did was to use a small eraser to gently rub and clean the connector from the charging ribbon.

Note that this is taken from google product forum and should be perform at your own risk .. but it did help me save $300 :)

yeap its the 2nd gen version that i was referring to. Im concerned about the local warranty issue if purchase the 32gb version from amazon or even omigo ( they shipped items from USA ). this is the reason why im asking about buying a brand new unit in singapore.

I bought from amazon and it has local (SG) warranty. Got it serviced at asus service before.

But i heard amazon sets that has local warranty is a hit or miss. Some sets have, some sets do not have. You might want to check it out further.

Both my 1st gen and 2nd gen from Amazon got local warranty. 2nd gen bought during the black friday period and the serial number somehow not able to self register warranty online. But got it registered locally via Asus Tech Support.

Yes it will work.

Decidiing to buy 1 more. Amazon slash price, but still not better than blackfriday.
No way you can wait for blackfriday, maybe many more months.

Whack ah!

Bought Refreshed Unit

HI,

FYI, Just bought a Nexus 7 2012 from PC Dreams Laptop Factory Outlet for $169 with 1 Year warranty. Still testing the unit. So far so good. But battery is draining faster after upgrade to KitKat 4.4


Regards,
Sum
