when I turn on my tablet it has to be plugged in with the charger or it wont turn on when I charge it. when I charge it the orange light does not come on saying that its done charging. I unplug it and it shuts off

Re: my tablet keeps shutting off on me

Sounds as if the battery needs to be replaced. Unless you condition the battery, and almost never let it get below 40% charge, 2 years is a long lifetime. If you regularly let it go until the tablet tells you to charge it (usually between 5% and 20% charge), it can go in less than a year. If you ignore that warning and regularly let it go until it shuts off before you charge it, 6 months is a good long time.
