Android Lenovo Tablet wont charge, wont fully boot, keeps flashing on and off...?? help?

[a.nicklin2313]

My son got a Lenovo tablet for christmas, it worked fine until the other day and now its not charging at all, I've even connected it to my lenovo laptop that it has been linked too and nothing, it wont even come up on my laptop as being connected. When its plugged in it'll appear to be turning on, then it will just constantly flash on and off like it wants to boot up and then wont. I tried a factory reset on it by the key combination, thinking he maybe installed something harmful, and it was a success, but it still wont charge and I cant get past the attempted reboot start up, like its some kind of bootloop freeze, but I can't know for sure because its not charging.... Im pulling my hair out trying to fix it for him lol any advise?? thanks in advance.

Please don't make all text bold. It is harder to read that way.

Since it is that new, I would contact the manufacturer, as it is still under warranty.

I'm sorry, I didn't know that happened, I literally just got this account today to see if I could get advise on this since its not under warranty, I've thought about that one already.... thanks though.

If you just got the laptop new this past December, it should so still be under warranty. Manufacturers usually have at least a year warranty on laptops.

Yes that's correct in most cases but not If you didn't purchase it with the tablet... my husband took my son to Wal-Mart and bought it but didn't pay the extra cost for the warranty so 😉 that's why I'm here lol

There is no need for an extra cost for a warranty. That would be something that the store sells to you. It has nothing to do with the manufacturer's warranty. Contact the manufacturer.

Clueless me lol I didn't know there was a difference. Thank you, I'll do that, since I'm all out of options lol

Anytime.

The paperwork (manual), if you still have it should give you the warranty info and the companies contact info. You can also check their website.

Good luck!

Thanks again for your help, but just my luck, apparently Lenovo doesn't do warranties on this tablet and they no longer sell them... which explains the "great deal" we got getting it for my son. Also, there seems to be numerous people with the exact problem with this tablet and it seems the only solution they could come up with was tossing it and getting a new one.. I have a Lenovo laptop that rocks so I didn't see this coming lol so I guess problem solved and gotta get him a new one...

That sounds really odd. I would try contacting them directly yourself to find out for sure. Sounds really fishy.
