My new tablet won't power on. There is a light on next to the power adapter which is orange. Tried to turn it on but it won't come on.

Tablet has been plugged in for about 3 hours for charging but will still not power on. It is less than a month old.

Have you pressed and held the tablet switch for a minute? Usually this feature is adopted to stop the tablets and smartphone for accidentally switching them off of the first press. So, it was suggested that the press and hold for about a minute to switch it on or off. if it is not the case, have you checked if your battery is not reverse polarized? In some smartphone this is an occasional occurrence where people replace batteries the wrong way around.

SOURCE: Motion Computing C5 Tablet PC won't power on

Hi! I do understand that you are having the problem on the laptop turning on. Try another option, turn off laptop, remove cables and battery, press and hold power button for 10 secs. Reinsert the cables and battery on the laptop. Then turn it on. If the laptop did not turned on, remove the power cable and turned on the laptop. If still didn't, remove the battery and insert the power cable. If still did not work then check if there lights flashed on the laptop when turning it on. If still does not, then you need to contact the pc manufacturer for repair and possible replacement. Otherwise, if there is light on the laptop, then there might be a problem either the battery or the power cable itself. If there is light on the laptop but no power cable, most likely the monitor did not work simply because the battery works due to the fact that there is light on the laptop. On the other hand if there is light when plugging in the power cable on the laptop, then you need to check and insert another battery if it works. Otherwise you need to replace the battery...

SOURCE: my coby tablet won't open

Hi s112ronnie,

If your Coby tablet suddenly has no response or powers off, an elec-trostatic discharge may be the cause. In this circumstance, please follow these procedures for recovery:

1.Reset the player (use a paper clip to gently press the Reset button (on the bottom of the player).

2.Turn on the unit again

NOTE: Back up your data to an external source prior to performing reset.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

To hard reset a tablet, hold the power button down until it shuts off then press it to turn back on. Should take about 5 - 10 seconds for the device to power off.

SOURCE: kurio kids tablet won't start up

I fixed mine like this, unfortunately you will lose all your data on the system.

1) Whilst holding down the Power button, hold down the Volume+ button for about 10 seconds and let go.

The table should boot into a screen with an Android with a open chest and a danger sign on top.

2) Press the Volume+ button, and the recovery menu will appear.

3) Press the Volume- button, to move to "Wipe data/Factory Reset" and press the Power button to select that option.

4) Press the Volume- button to move to "yes" and press the Power button to accept.

Now the system will wipe the data and factory reset the tablet.

5) When it returns to the menu, make sure it is on "Reboot system now" and then press the Power button.

The tablet will now reboot and should load.

Why wont my nookhd wont charge

If it\'s only two months old it may have a defective charging cable or adapter. If it\'s a new purchase and you can return it. To check to see if it might be the adapter and not the charging cable you have a few cheap ways to test this out.



General charging recommendations.



If you get power leave it on charge at least 3+ hours. This is the minimum time required if the battery is totally drained. If the Nook turns itself on during this process manually turn it off. The battery charges faster and more deeply if it\'s truely powered down. Charging more than 3 hours won\'t hurt it. In fact some manufacturers claim leaving thier products on charge for an additional hour after the charging light glows green is good as it leaves a slightly deeper charge on the battery. Also I believe leaving it alone for that hour allows it to cool the battery. Most manufacturers also recommend tottaly draining the battery at least once a month and then fully recharging it 1+ hours after charging light is green. They claim this helps the battery maintain a healthy charge and extends the battery life. Simply disconnect any charging cables, turn the unit on and just let it set. Don\'t touch it peroid just leave it alone until it turns off because the battery is totally drained. Then just plug it in and leave it. Only if the unit automatically turns itself on do you manually turn it back off.



Well that\'s about in in keeping the battery life and charge at its maximum.



If your AC power adapter has gone south there are only three ways to get around this. 1. Purchase a generic AC to USB adapter. 2. Purchase a genetic DC to USB adapter. Most of these can be cheaply purchased at most drug stores ect.. these days. You can even get DC to USB ones at dollar stores such as Dollar Tree. Good way to maintain your battery if your AC one goes south or you lose house current.



One other way to charge your battery is to plug the USB cable into your computer. Some manufacturers don\'t recommend this as this more often than not doesn\'t fully tank up your battery.



You can also get replacement charging cables at the same place you got the adapters. Places such as Walgreens, or CVS often have these at around five dollars a pop.

My Nextbook 7 won't turn on

Every tablet has a button sequence, the reason being for a fresh restart. Either you unplugged it before full recharge, or didn't use proper charging adapter or cable.
There is a solution to avoiding this but first get tablet started by:
Hold power button and volume up button for eight seconds, release and hold power button again, tablet should turn on.
If not, do the opposite hold power button, volume down for eight seconds, then power button. You need to do this with proper adapter and charger you tablet came with plugged in. You may also need to do this more than once.
Once your tablet has started up, the way to avoid this is to swipe right on screen until you see settings app, should be round looking similar to a sprocket, or clock gear.
Open settings / display / sleep. I set mine for 30 mins.
Now you no longer need to power off you tablet manually, thus skipping the button sequence process.After unplugging from charge adapter you will still need to press power button to start.
Hope this helps I have yet to have this problem again, and remember to always let your tablet fully charge before disconnecting.

The power adapter may be faulty.
Whenyou connect the power adapter into the laptop, does the power LED lightup? If not then - The battery adapter or the adapter's power lead or the laptop's powersocket could be faulty. Check power adapter's DCplug that connects into the laptop power socket with a multi-meter, the voltageshould be slightly higher than the voltage that is printed on the label on thebottom of the adapter. If the voltage is zero or way below the voltage that isprinted on the label then the power adapter is faulty and needs to be replaced.
