Tablet seems dead, but battery indicator shows charged.
I have a cheap Windows 10 (upgraded) tablet. It is a Best Buy Unbranded model UB15MS10. It has been having problems starting up and the battery seems weak even though the battery charge indicator shows near full.
When plugged in to the charger the red charging indicator LED is off which indicates it does not need charging and is not charging, however, when I pull the usb charging cable out of the tablet the screen goes black.
My gut tells me regardless of what the battery charge indicator says the battery is not charged, is bad and needs replacement. Before trying to find a battery and go through replacement I would like to know for sure. Can someone help me with some troubleshooting tips?
