Nvidia Shield Tablet Recall
Just saw this on twitter, thought it might be worth posting on here. Quote from Nvidia:
Quote:
NVIDIA has announced a recall of its SHIELD tablets, sold between July 2014 and July 2015. NVIDIA has determined the battery in these tablets can overheat and pose a fire hazard. As part of this recall, NVIDIA will be replacing the tablet.
NVIDIA is asking customers to submit a claim for a replacement device. NVIDIA is also asking consumers to stop using the recalled tablet, except as needed to participate in the recall and back up data. Consumers will receive a replacement tablet after registering to participate in the recall.
This is probably the most important thing regarding the recall:
Quote:
Under the “Battery” category, you’ll see Y01 or B01
If B01, your unit is NOT affected by this recall
If Y01, your unit needs to be replaced. Please select Y01 to launch the recall application on the device
The recall website is currently only available for North America atm.
