[Michlib-l] Launchpad learning tablet problems?

Hi, In April/May we purchased 50 Launchpad learning tablets. They began circulating on June 1st. The first week we started noticing problems with them. The issue seems to be the same. They either aren't turning on or not holding a charge. We have had to send back 12 out of the 50 so far, and that number seems very high. They are still under warranty and Playaway has been replacing them, but I am concerned what will happen when the warranty ends. I am curious if this is just a bad batch, or if other libraries may have had similar problems with them? Thanks, Jami Cromley Director Community District Library www.mycdl.org 989.743.3287
