Before taking apart your Thrive, make sure the battery is charged.
Defective battery

Bad battery
If your Thrive won't charge, it could be because the battery has gone bad. Try replacing the battery before attempting to take your Thrive apart.

Distorted or no Audio
There is distorted or no sound coming from your Thrive, or sound coming from only one speaker

Sound coming from only one speaker

I have the ToshibaThrive At105, I just installed a new battery and charged it, thinking this was the problem of the black screen, but it didn't work and I still have a black screen. I tried to reset it holding down the up volume and power button together and still have a black screen. HELP PLEASE

I replaced the battery 4 mo ago. Worked fine until this week. Only half charges (bar midway) Any suggestions?

full change, but takes 5+ minutes to come on, only can play 1 game on it. Everything else says force close, wait or report. which none of these work either. HDMI nor USB port works either. No cracks, not dropped just won't half work. No wifi support either anymore.

I can get my tablet to turn on, but then it freezes on the start-up screen and will stay frozen until the battery eventually runs out of juice (there's no way to turn off the device manually while it's frozen. I've let the tablet stay plugged in while frozen for days at a time just to see if it would finally finish starting up, but to no avail. What is the problem here, and how do I fix it? Thanks, in advance, for your help!
Unrelated: the speakers continually make popping/clicking noises when the device is on. This issue started long before the tablet started stalling in start-up mode, and I never have been able to figure out why. Any advice would be most appreciated! :)

My Thrive comes on. and shows the battery is charging, which it is. The power light is on also.
The screen is locked on the home screen with the calculator showing. The calculator works, but nothing else. It appears to be locked up.
Help please

In the middle of internet use, the tablet either boots me off the internet or shuts down completely and I have to power it up again. I usually use the tablet while it is plugged in.
