I have had my Nexus 7 2013 for 2 or 3 years now with no issues. Suddenly it has had an issue with charging. When in use and plugged in, it slowly, inevitably drains (or moderately quickly depending on what I am doing), and when turned off it is charging extremely slowly. This only occurred a couple days ago after no issues since purchase.
I have searched several videos but have found no real answers to this specific issue, only tangential ones like not powering up after the battery running out, or the cable being loose.
Is it possible the battery is just worn out, and it needs replacement? I would prefer fixing the issue before buying a new one but will do what is necessary to avoid getting a new tablet entirely. What about a factory reset? I don't think it is software based as I haven't updated the firmware or any apps lately but would try it if necessary. Thank you.
