My RCA pro 10 tablet wont turn on. I had it working yesterday but now it wont come back on. It is charged up and everything. I just got it two weeks ago. I don't know how to take the back off or anything.

I had 2 RCA pro 10 inch tablets, same thing happened. What you need to do is hold the power button down for a loooooooooooooooong time until the dang thing will turn on. After you do that you shouldn't have further problems. The first one that did it I had to press the power button down without releasing for about 5 minutes...

Thank you so much! Mine just went out tonight and I was looking up the number to call RCA and found your solution of just holding the power button in for a long time. I had to hold mine in 3 minutes and then it came on. Thank you -- problem solved!

My pleasure, I tried the RCA route first and they were clueless or didn't want to admit this is a widespread problem. I'm glad it helped, it should help anyone with the same problem. I think the cause may be from shipping them at full charge, but not sure.

You were RIGHT! Not that you needed me to tell you that. My was 40 seconds and then on!

I recently purchased a RCA Pro 10 and have also had the same problem. I had it maybe two weeks also. Have you found a solution to the problem yet? I have no warrenty and i suppose the best bet is to call the customer service for the device and see what they can help with it.

There is a little hole on the back of the tablet. The manual says to put a paper clip in that while holding the power button. It worked for me.
