Hey guys hoping for some help. Went to get the tablet out and it won't turn on. I have held the power button and also the volume up button and also tried to eeset it via pinhole. And still nothing. When i plug it in to wall or computer to charge it doesn't even register that it is charging.

What else can I do?

    Could be a bad charger, could be problems with the charging port. Inspect the port closely and try another charger if you can't see anything wrong.

    You should probably have put this question in its own thread, since it's not really related to the battery problems the first user was asking about.

     

    Having said that if it won't boot to the BIOS or Recovery, you're pretty much out of luck without sending it in, and it's an old enough tablet that you are likely out of warranty. You could pull it apart to remove the battery then press and hold the power button for a while to make sure all the capacitors are fully drained, then reassemble and try again to turn it on. That might get you back alive if the BIOS itself isn't too corrupted, but it's a stretch.

    We need more info. Is the tablet fully charged? Does the screen light up at all? Is there a faint indication of something on the screen? Can you boot into recovery mode?
