It sounds like you have a heat related short in the tablet, possibly at the battery terminal. This is something that requires a tech to open it up and do some inspection and testing. If it is still under waranty, contact the manufacturer and get it sent in. If you bought it recently, put it back in the box and take it back to the store where you bought it.

My tablet won't stay on.

  • Connect your tablet to a power source in the wall by using the wall charger and cable.
  • Wait for 10 minutes to make sure that the tablet has gained enough power to start.
  • Press and hold the volume down and the power buttons simultaneously for about least 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Try to disconnect the battery . This is a common issue with tablets and it can mostly be solved by just disconnecting the battery for a 5 minutes. Or the battery has gone bad and needs to be replaced.

How to tell if Papa pear is connecting to my friends on facebook

Try logging out from Facebook from inside PPS, do a restart on the iPad (hold down Home and Power button together for 10 seconds) then start PPS and connect to FB. If that doesn't work, delete the game and reinstall it. (This is standard troubleshooting for most apps)

Why won't my tablet turn on?

I had same issue, it is some sort of glitch in either the mfg or the software. Keep trying but try not to be to forceful with the buttons. I sometimes have to push it over 30 times to get a result. a lot of the time i will just plug it in walk away and they come back about 5 or 10 minutes later and try again. Try different button sequences. Hold down power for 30 seconds remove and add your external SD cards. Hold power and push vol down. Hold power and push vol up. various sequences with plugging in charger as well. I know it is very frustrating but try not to lose your temper with it. Good luck.
