Title: What size is my Nexus 7
Post by: ejleiss on October 24, 2012, 06:38:13 PM

Hi,

I recently purchased a working nexus 7 with a cracked screen.  I am deciding whether to replace the screen or not, I would like to if it is a 16gb version.  I have opened up the tablet no problem although I am wondering if one of the serial numbers on the inside of the tablet will tell me how much storage is on the tablet.  I don't have the original box it was sold in, and I can't use the touch screen to find it through the interface.

Does the tablet turn on?  Does the screen work at all?

Plug it in to a computer and see how much space it has.

If you have the tablet opened, read the memory chip for 8 or 16 on it.

Thanks fxsarge, I don't know why plugging it into a computer slipped my mind.  Should have realized that, but do appreciate your input.
Thanks

Seems like we are going backwards. If you can't figure it out return it for a new one? How does that work exactly?

Ah my bad. When you said working Nexus I didn't realize that meant that you meant it really wasn't working. And you can't get into the settings. My mind gets lazy when reading sometimes.

I think I figured out your thinking right now. Why pay for and replace a screen on what could be an 8 gb when chances are you can buy one brand new cheap soon? Is that the jist of this twisted mess of a thread?
