I cant get the tablet to turn on. When I push the button on top of the tablet to turn it on, all that shows up is a picture of the battery for 5 seconds, then a blank screen. I did not get a manual for setup with the unit, and since I am very inexperienced with these, I am completely lost. Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure it is fully charged. Hold power button down for about 10 seconds and wait if nothing comes up press power again for half a second. Still nothing? Then put it on charge, it should show that it is charging with a light of a picture on the screen. If there is no sign of charging, wait about 3 hours leave the charger connected and press the power button again for about a second and wait for it to turn on or for the picture to show it is charging appears on the screen, (make sure the charger is on and connected) . Press the power button again for another 5 seconds and wait. sometimes it takes a little while to turn on, especially if the battery is very flat. Other things to try are check the charger on another device e.g. another table or a phone if you can and try another charger on the tablet if they are compatible, (usually the same plug is o.k, check the voltage is the same. most chargers are USB 5v). It may need a more powerful charger than most small phones,. you can try plugging the USB cable into a car charger or USB 3.0 port on a computer. 2 amps is common for most tablets. Apple may be different, hard to be exact without knowing brand etc.
If all else fails see the retailer

Make sure the tablet and keyboard are charged.
On the tablet, go to setting - it looks like a gear icon. Open settings and about the 3rd item down from the top of the drop down menu, you will see "Bluetooth." Make sure it is set to "ON"

Then go to the keyboard. It also has an "ON" button and press the botton. A tiny red light will blink slowly close to the button. There is a second "Connect" that must also be pushed - it is the "Connect" button and it will search for the Bluetooth signal from the tablet.
When it finds te tablet signal, you will see a message on the tablet screen [it must e turned on} instructing you to enter a 5 or 6 digit code on the keyboard. When you enter the code, a "Connected" signal will show on the screen.

Open a document and start typing!

I'm pretty sure this pertains to all tablets and keyboards.

hi,
to turn your
Samsung galaxy 10.1 2014 edition tablet on you need to long press the power button which is at the top-right side of the tablet.Hope youo get your problem fixed. Thanx

Try removing the battery and replace it then restart it.

Try the follow to see if it will fix it:
There is a power reset button near the charging port. It looks like a tiny hole. While plugged into the charger, use a paperclip to push the button inside this hole for 3-5 seconds. If it turns on, please allow it to charge for 4-6 hours before using it. If you leave it on the charger for longer than the allocated time, you will go back to having the same problem as before. If the power does not come on, please leave it plugged up for 4-6 hours then disconnect it from the power and turn it on.

If your tablet does not have the reset button: With the tablet plugged into the charger, hold the power button for 10 seconds then click the volume up once. If it turns on, please allow it to charge for 4-6 hours before using it. If you leave it on the charger for longer than the allocated time, you will go back to having the same problem as before. If the power does not come on, please leave it plugged up for 4-6 hours then disconnect it from the power and turn it on.

After performing the power reset on the device the device will behave in one of the following ways:
1. The tablet will turn on like normal.
2. The tablet will show the battery icon only.
3. The tablet will show nothing on the screen at all.

All of these are normal for the device and should not be cause for alarm. If the device still fails to power on after being left on the charger for 4-6 hours,

Then most likely the battery will need replacing.

If you tried sliding the lock icon and it doesnt move in any direction, chances are that the tablet is frozen. In that case, hold the on/off button for about 5 secs until the tablet turn off (it will vibrate as it turns off, this is dif than just pressing the on/off button) or offer you a option to shut it down. Wait a couple of secs, the tablet will show the booting screen and then allow you to work with it, not just show you the lock as soon as you turn it on. If it shows you the lock without the booting screen shown first, mean that you didnt really turned it off. Try holding the on/off button longer.

If nothing works, then you should take it to a repair place.

I had this same thing. The Batter image had a red line on the right side and the yellow triangle had an explanation point in the middle.

I searched the net and found a few solutions.

1. Hold the power button down for 30 seconds.

2. Hold the power button down and the volume down button at the same time for 30 seconds.

3. Just let it charge and over night and it should go back to normal.

I did all 3, in the order I wrote them. While in step 3, after about 5 minutes I pressed the power button and it showed that it was charging normal.

Hope this helps.

I had the same problem with the n810. I was using a non-oem battery and the connections were a loose fit causing the battery not able to charge.
If you take the battery cover off, hold the battery firmly in place. Connect the charger and make sure battery is charging, then press the boot button. If it boots and stays on, then shuts off when you stop holding the battery. Then you probably have a loose connection or a bad battery. Also try cleaning the connector with a pencil eraser and alcohol.
I had to wedge tthe battery in place. You can find a spare battery with a desktop charger on Ebay for around $10US.
