i charged my tablet and it won't turn on

Nothing much to do, that is often a bad system board. You can have the charging port looked at to see if that is lose and is not actually charging.
Is it not turning on at all or just not loading all the way?

What I do is hold the power button for 20 seconds,
Wait 5 seconds,
Then hold the power button until your tablet comes on.
If this doesn't work, give it another try in a few minutes.
Good luck!

My girlfriend has a Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50. The tablet would not boot or show that it was charging. After following your suggestion, the tablet finally booted up and showed it was at 93% charged. Thank you for your suggestion and saving her tablet from the trash can.

You're an angel!
Your suggestion is all I need to make my Lenovo Pad TABS8-50LC raise from the dead! I'm about to send this to electronic repair shop that will cost me a lot but then I saw your suggestion and you fix it!

Salamat my friend

Experienced smartab with black screen. It had sound. Only a backlight would come on. I removed the back cover. Disconnected the battery cable. Reconnected and power on. It works! Wanted to share. I threw away 2 of my kids tablets in the past two years with same symptom. This time I didn't give up. It worked! Only if I had tried this.

Well, I tried the 20 second thing and it worked!!!
Asus ZenPad 3S 10 9.7" (2048x1536), 4GB Ram, 64GB eMMC I bought a few months back and this is the first mishap so was greatly disappointed.
I was using it outside for some pictures and put it in my car, drove home and it was blank. No button activated it. I then plugged it in to the charger then into my computer and still nothing.The 20 second rule was exactly that, 20 seconds and on came the charging symbol. A second 20 seconds activated the tablet. What is the cause? Cold weather?
