Why doesn't my tablet turn on?

I have charged it and borrowed an identical charger incase it was the cord. Still will not turn on. I was wanting to turn it on to reset the tablet as it would not go further than the 'android' screen. I was advised by Thomson to reset which worked for that problem. But when I tried turning on to reset it will not turn on. I'm lost without my tablet...any help would be appreciated. Thank You

If your tablet will not power on, try holding the Power Button and the Volume Down button at the same time for 10+ seconds and it should boot up.

    Thank You for your quick response. I just tried your suggestion but nothing happened :( Any other ideas? The tablet warms slightly when plugged in which makes me think it is charging ok. Just wont turn on.

    Ok - we can try the hard reset. Bear with me, there are a few button sequences to push :>)

    1. Power off the device - since your device is already off, youcan skip this step !
    2. Hold down the Power Button and BOTH the Volume UP and Volume Down button at the SAME time for a few seconds - a menu will appear.
    3. Use the Volume Down button to scroll down to Recovery.
    4. Select the Recovery option by pushing the Volume Up button once.
    5. There will be a pause of a few seconds and an Android image lying on its side with an Exclamation in a triangle will show up.
    6. Push BOTH Volume UP and Volume Down button at the SAME time for a few seconds and the following menu will show up:
    -Reboot System Now
    -Apply update from external storage
    -Apply update from ADB
    -Wipe data/factory reset
    -Wipe cache partition

    7. Use the Volume Down button to scroll to Reboot the system now. If you want a full factory reset you can scroll down to that option (This will wipe all your data on the tablet!)
    8. Once you have chosen your selection, press the power button once.
    9. If you chose to reboot, the tablet should boot up normally. If you chose the reset to factory default, there will be a message that the data is being wiped. It may take several minutes and will return to the Reboot menu. Press teh Power button and reboot.

    Hope this really helps you out with your issues. If this does not work, you will need other experts to help you as I am out of ideas.

    Good luck !

My RCA tablet won't turn on and will not charge, what can I do?

If battery is depleted, then no, it will not turn on.

If battery charger is dead, phone won't charge or turn on.
If battery charger cable is broken, tablet won't charge or turn on.

You need to ensure you have a good working charger, and a good cable. Only a known good charger and a known good cable can charge the unit. Borrow or invest in a new charger and cable (they're cheap on eBay).

Only once you know the charger and cable are good can you determine that they are not the problem.

Depending on how old the unit is, it's possible the battery can no longer hold a charge and needs to be replaced. You won't know that though until you first determine the charger and cable you're using are working properly and providing a good charge.

How come my new tablet will not charge

When both tablets can't be charged by the same charger / cable combination, the charger and or the cable are the main suspects. Try another charger and if that does not work, try another cable.

Tablet wont charge

Hi It will not charge. Are you sure that the battery is OK? Do you charge the tablet with electricity or via USB? You have checked the cord and wire into the the plug and the plug itself. Is it possible for you to borrow a charger to find out if it is the battery that is not working. All the best Kolbrun

Coby Kryos Android Tablet is not charging. It is connected to a charger but its not charging.

Leave the tablet connected to the charger for 5-10 minutes even if doesn\'t work. Then take out the battery and try with master charger and (switch on the tablet) after that, check whether the previous charger is working again or not again. If it doesn\'t show charging sign, then you have to take it to service center to change the charger connector.

Ipad will not turn on

Bring it to a computer store like Best Buy and ask if you can borrow a power cord for your exact model. Just test to see if the store's power cord starts charging it. Then you at least know weather or not it's just a bad power cord /charger.

Iam unable to turn it on, any help would be great

does the light come on when you plug in a charger? if so try turn it on with the charger in and on. and hold the power button for at least 5 seconds, if theres a light to indicate charge then theres power to it but could be some other fault internally, you have to try the tablet with the charger in and hold the power button for 5 seconds and you can leave the charger plugged in for an hour to see if it says charging just incase its a bad battery.
