hi,

My Acer Iconia one 8 suddenly won't turn on. I had the same issue a few months back and I can't remember what solved it. It happened before when update was needed.

 

The tablet looks as though its charging but it has been plugged in for a day and light still red - battery should be well charged by now.

 

Screen is black and won't turn on. I have tried reset button, tried holding volume button then power down, have tried holding power button down and nothing making a difference.

 

Any other things I could try? Tks

    if your model is B1-850 there's a reset hole just under the volume rocker, put a pin inside for a few seconds and then try to turn it on.

    Have tried that and no joy. When its plugged into charger red light shows. When its plugged out takes about 20 seconds for red light to turn off

    if the reset hole didn't work, it's time to call Acer support service if it's under warranty.
