I posted in another thread so I'll post the story here and anyone else with dead tablets etc please do so and tell us your stories.

Was using the tablet in bed one night plugged in a xbox 360 wired controller to see about gaming but couldn't figure it out so I unplugged it and watched a youtube vid about it and when I was plugging it back in it may have touched the edge of the case or something and a white flash came out of the tablet and it turned off never to turn back on again.

Seller originally tried to tell me it was my fault for using a different power supply but this happened entirely on battery and the tablet was running for a while beforehand, I mentioned a few things before he eventually offered me warranty.

Sellers language and understanding of my emails has not been the best also and this is cube-tablet also which I know aint the official site.

Can anyone think why a wired xbox 360 controller would kill the tablet when the tablet is meant to have USB host and that controllers do work on them I was thinking reverse voltage from the charge in the controller which hadn't depleted I think to the tablet case or hdmi port which it may have touched.  But when I think about it that doesn't seem right as the xbox controller is a well made product and should have whats known as a 'idiot' diode in it and the tablet itself should have stuff preventing voltage from the case etc damaging it.

Trying to get it sent back has been a real pain as local post will not accept anything with lithium batteries in it and a dedicated post forwarder that use courier that can accept tablets and laptops which initially accepted the package, don't want to send it as China has allot of hassles with couriers and mail in general coming into the country especially with warranty returns as couriers going to china want proper warranty tagged and diagnosed and arrangement with the seller papers etc etc.  So I am getting a refund and the tablet back from the post forwarder.

Seems its ok for china to send stuff out as 90% or so mby abit exaggerated of ebay is China with low cost various crap and ripoff crap.

And now the seller has refused me sending the tablet without the batteries installed as thats the most logical way to resolve the issue for all parties and has offered a 'discount' instead (amount not stated) if I bought a new tablet from him as a replacement, but I presume the discount wouldn't be worth it and would only be the shipping amount or some crap.

There are other issues such as SD card corruption, static noise on headphone socket and the dodgy power supply which was causing massive EMI to my phone (Chinese made thats a different topic altogether) and crap usb cable.

Apart from those the tablet was working great for me.

Ultimately I think I want a Microsoft Surface Pro as I can use standard pc apps as its got a native FullHD display.

I do have a T2 screwdriver now, arrived yesterday just after I took the tablet to the forwarder so I'll be cracking this tablet open as soon as I get it back for a look at what may have blown as theirs no seals or anything to get in.

Pretty much what I respected only $20 the price of shipping or not even that in reality just to get me to buy another tablet from him.

No thanks.
