Long lasting tablets
Hello 👋
Lately I have had an epidemic of tablets cursed with expanding batteries and thus becoming inoperable.
I know the easiest solution would be to obviously turn the tablets off at night, turn them on when we are open. And to keep them unplugged more often. Issue is the designer before my current team made frames to hold the tablets out of steel, and just for even more frustration, they are custom made frames for non-standard tablet sizes. The hunt for a 10.6 inch tablet continues. The frames encase it and make it impossible to access the tablets easily, even the power buttons or plugs.
Like most museums, you can imagine that my budget does not allow for replacing tablets every 3 years, and I'm not keen on commissioning new steel frames/other materials. Has anyone encountered this issue, and what were your museums solutions?
