Re: Tablet won't turn on - HELP!

I am in the same situation as most on here. Mine won't turn on at all. Charging and holding the on button does not work. So I called the 1-888 number that came in the box and the woman asked me if I tried to charge it through USB port?. Of course she had to point out that the computer needs to be on. Anyway, even though I do not have much confidence in this I have the tablet plugged in my comp. Even though my comp is asking for a cd to "install new hardware" It did not come with a cd and the site does not have a download. What is a girl to do?

Ahhhh Haaaa just as I suspected. It is still not working. It should have done something by now. I got mine at Big Lots but ours was on special for $99.99.

Re: Tablet won't turn on - HELP!

Hi I just received my tablet yesterday -- MID9000 it says. I completely charged it before using it last night for a short while. Then charged it fully again overnight. I unplugged it when I woke up and 12 hours later I am attempting to turn it on. I can only get the green dude to show up. I've tried multiple times. Please Help!!

This tells me IT IS ON since the pc i trying to connect to it. Windows shouldn't need a disc for MTP drivers so far's I know.

Sounds like your screen has died.

Its faulty. Hope you returned it.... "Crackling noise" while charging is BAD, and not fixable by user. (You used the supplied charger, right?)

Have you tried holding down the power switch until the screen comes on? You might have to hold it down for up to a minute.

Obviously some of these problems are not with the Google Nexus7 tablet. Such as the above Wiztab and a previous poster with a NatPC unit. Some of the other posts which do not specify brands may also not be for the N7. While the solutions suggested by N7 users might work for these units I suggest that they might better contact the people who make or supply their brand either at the store or on the web or by phone. Those who do have questions about or problems with Nexus7 tablets should specify Nexus7 in their posts. To me this is important because many people who read this forum might think unfairly that the Nexus7 is more prone to problems than in fact it is. I am sympathetic to the new, frustrated users with one of the many inexpensive Android tablets now flooding the market who are having trouble using their new toy and need help from somewhere. Is there another forum to steer them to?

Re: Tablet won't turn on - HELP!

I've had the problems another poster mentions about tablet being cranky after coming off the charger. Usually holding the power button for 10-15 seconds works.

Today, I took my tablet off the charger, and cannot get it to power up. The first time I got to the ice cream sandwich screen, and now nothing. I did try holding power and volume as someone mentioned, but no luck. Suggestions?
