Nvidia is one of the largest producers of graphics cards for PCs or mobile terminals, and more than a year ago it launched Nvidia Shield, a tablet with enormous potential.
Nvidia Shield it was appreciated by a very large number of users, even though the company did not set any sales records with it, and this is most likely a good omen since the company is now recalling some of the tablets sold in the last year .
Specifically, it appears that the batteries with the code name Y01 in the tablets Nvidia Shield sold last have a risk of overheating and explosion that could seriously injure users or cause fires, so Nvidia decided to change them free of charge as part of the recently initiated program.
Users who have Nvidia Shield tablets with batteries with the code Y01 can visit a service authorized by the company for free to request the replacement of the tablet free of charge, all in an attempt to avoid accidents that affect users or could create serious material damage.
NVIDIA has announced a recall of its SHIELD tablets, sold between July 2014 and July 2015. NVIDIA has determined that 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.
Basically, you can look at the situation as one of a car manufacturer that calls in various models for service to fix problems with the braking systems, steering, etc., but here we are talking about a battery that can explode at any moment because it was manufactured.
Of course, the image of Nvidia and the Nvidia Shield tablet are seriously affected by this very serious problem, but it is good that there is an initiative to replace the affected products free of charge before various people are injured.
