Hi, call me Adele. I have Verizon's Ellipsis 8.0 tablet, without a SIM card *
It's not a new tablet, it was a hand-me-down, but it's parts are all there. Here's the issue, it definitely is not taking charge. I bought a brand new charger from Verizon itself, and the charger has a red light that will glow if the tablet is taking charge. The tablet doesn't respond to it.
If I hold the power button, the verizon logo opening screen will come up, and the charger light will glow showing a charge is occurring, but the device dies when the cord is removed. Trying to turn on the tablet when not attached to electricity won't work, it doesn't turn on or show anything. I have tried letting it be plugged into the charger for 12 hours, but it hasn't charged the battery up.
I have learned that popping off the back of the tablet and unplugging/replugging the battery pack could help. My tablet is open and I'm could try that, I'm not sure which cord is the power cord, though! Also, I'm not sure that's the right step for me. Is this problem happening because I don't have a SIM card inserted?
note: Attached are photos of the inner parts of the tablet.
*I've read that the tablet can operate without a SIM card
