Re: Tablet won't turn on - HELP!
Ive been getting on this website and trying to find a solution months ago when my tablet wouldnt come on. I tried the "hold the buttton for 10 seconds" and it worked the first time. But now it did it again and when I tried it it wouldnt come on. Three months ago, the 2nd time my tablet wouldnt come on, I did the 10 seconds thing and it worked for 2 seconds and went back off. It was fully charged. Now its been some months now since it wouldnt come on and I tried to reboot it and it wont come! I didnt break it, I LEFT IT ALONE FOR ABOUT 1/2 AN HOUR and when I came back it wouldnt turn on
Please try the following: (if after this it doesn't work please send me an email at
cl-fred@asus.com so we can discuss further and see what we can do)
Connect the charger to your Nexus 7, then plug the charger in to an outlet.
Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
Press Volume down until you find Power off, then press Power to select that option.
When your tablet is off, disconnect the charger, then reconnect it.
You should see a battery on your screen that indicates your tablet is charging. If your tablet still doesn't charge, try the steps below:
Make sure your charger and device are fully connected
Plug your Nexus 7 into its original ASUS power adapter using the charger's original USB cable, ensuring that the power cord is securely connected to the tablet and the power adapter. Also, make sure you're using a functioning power outlet.
Wait for one minute, checking to see if a charging icon appears on the screen.
Press and hold the Power button for at least 15 seconds to see if the device powers on.
If the screen doesn't turn on or a battery icon does not appear, continue with the following steps:
Plug your Nexus 7 into its original ASUS power adapter using the charger's original USB cable for an hour, ensuring that the power cord is securely connected to the tablet and the power adapter. Also, make sure you're using a functioning power outlet.
After an hour, disconnect the charging cable from your device.
Within 10 seconds of disconnecting the cable, quickly connect the cable again.
Press and hold the Power button for at least 15 seconds to see if the device powers on.
If your Nexus 7 does not begin to charge or power on after following the steps listed above, try charging your device overnight, then repeating the last three steps listed above
