** SHIELD TABLET RECALL!!!!!! **

Thanks for the heads-up, Gibbo. Mine is affected by this issue, so I've requested my replacement. It's actually quite convenient for me, as the speakers on mine are knackered and I've been putting off getting it fixed - now I won't have to bother :)
 
This is why I NEVER leave any kind of mobile device charging without being present.

I really don't trust any of the flimsy chargers with Lithium batteries
 
That's a good point and I won't be leaving anything on charge unless I'm home and awake! To think my shield as been on 4 x flights....
 
did I read it wrong? :p, they sneaked in at the very end

its not clear at the moment whether or not you have to send your tablet back or not.
they mention it a bit in the email etc. but then again there is literally no information what so ever as to where you need to post it etc.

people on the nvidia forums were suggesting you just discard it after you get your new one.
 
Thanks Gibbo. I have checked and mine and it is affected. I have filled out the returns form and will no await my new tablet. Thanks for the heads up. Its only because it was on the forums that I noticed the recall.

if its like google it be in the new tablet box a envelope packaging to send it back
 
And now completely out of stick everywhere... Any news on getting new stock in or if there is going to be a Shield Tablet 2?
 
mine sadly has been recalled.

the recall page was a doddle to use. the last OTA update just sorts it for you. very smooth.
 
Does anyone know if we receive refurbished units or brand new ones? I don't want to end up with a refurbished one that's in worse cosmetic condition than what I have now as mine is currently as new.
 
It'll be brand new. Our current Shield's will be deactivated (permanently) once we've powered on our new one's. So the old one will be a glorified paperweight. :D
