I've got a problem with my PMID4311, and this one's a doozy. I don't expect a miracle, but if anyone can help, here it is:
About two weeks ago the tablet's battery stopped charging. I opened up the casing and found no obvious signs of hardware damage (blown capacitor, etc.), so I put the case back on. When I started it up, the battery started charging again. Then about a day later, I tried to launch Transformers Legends and got a message that says "SD card currently in use; please disconnect or disable mass storage mode." This message appears whether or not I'm hooked up to USB. Also, the computer no longer seems to recognize the tablet when I hook it up; either nothing happens or I get a message saying that the hardware didn't install correctly.(it still charges the battery, though.) This is unusual, as the tablet has already been recognized before (the drivers were installed when I flashed the CM10 ROM). On top of that, when I go to "Settings," there's usually categories for "internal memory," another for "internal memory," and one for (external) "SD card." But now, there's nothing under the second "internal memory" banner. What's worse, every time I insert an SD card, I get a message that says "SD Card is damaged; try reformatting." But when I push the button to reformat, I get the same "SD Card is damaged" message. Strangely, I can still flash recoveries and install ZIP files from the SD card while in Recovery Mode. Sometimes I can even play music and view photos from it.
So, to recap:
-"SD Card currently in use" message when I try to launch a game.
-computer doesn't recognize tablet. (or SD Card if it's installed)
-tablet does not recognize second internal memory partition. (?)
-get "SD Card is damaged; try reformatting" message when inserting SD Card, but card does not reformat.
If anyone has an idea how to fix this, I'd appreciate it. All signs seem to point to a serious hardware problem, so if you guys think it's just busted, at least I won't have to continue trying to fix it. Android is a great OS, but it sure is frustrating trying to deal with unfamiliar hardware issues.
Thanks in advance!
