Reports are coming in that the Google Nexus 7 is plagued with display issues. Apparently, the screws at the rear of the tablet are a bit loose causing the display to slightly lift. There are also reports that some Nexus 7 slates have dead pixels.
What You Need To Know:
- Affected owners of the Nexus 7 are advised to have their tablets exchanged while those brave enough can pop off the back cover of the slate and tighten the loose screws a bit to hold the display in place.
