Lenovo Tab 2 A7-20F Troubleshooting

You have trouble listening to sounds on your computer.

It is possible that the charging cable has failed. The wires inside the charging cable might not connected. If available, try using another compatible charging cable. If that does not solve the problem then proceed to the next possibility.

Check the charging port for any debris that could have accumulated inside of it potentially insulating the charging cable from the phone not allowing electricity to flow. If this is the case use compressed air to blow out any debris and retry charging the device. If neither of these solutions addressed the problem continue to the final step.

Any liquid can damage the device preventing it from working by possibly corroding terminals or shorting them. Try cleaning the port with a lint free tissue to remove or loosen materials that should not be in the charging port, then blow it out with compressed air. Try charging the device once more. If no solutions have worked then the battery has likely failed and the battery should be replaced.
