I just got given this Advent Amico 7" tablet.
Its broken, and I think I know why.
The lad who gave it to me, had 2 of them, he sold one off, and with it, his only charger. he then replaced the charger but it stopped working after that.
On inspection, I saw the charger is 9V and the Amico says 5.5V on the back.
So... I think that all thats wrong with it, is that he has blown something inside?
I have had a look, and it looks clean, nothing is immediately obvious, but then, I am no pro.
I know its only a naff tablet, but it could be a bit of fun all the same, so is it worth getting it looked at by a professional?
Can it be fixed relatively easily?
I see the specs on the net, and I am thinking... I have old phones in the drawer than are faster than this thing.
But is it worth trying to resurrect it, or shall I just dump it?
