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.

Had the same problem with my Pro 10. This obviously is a common problem, as when I tried to return it to Walmart, I was told they have had many, many returns for this problem. Unfortunately, I was two days past the return deadline with Walmart. Contacted RCA support and was told they would send a RMA with a new tablet. After 7 weeks I sent a nasty email and finally received a replacement. The new tablet is working fine, 3 weeks later...(fingers crossed!)

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.

I had the same problem with mine this afternoon and I just pressed the reset button on the back and it came right back on...now I'm wondering if I shouldn't cut it off when I'm not using it???

I had this same problem with my 10" RCA tablet. After 10 months of fighting with it, today I noticed the micro usb hole in the tablet was the same as the hole I charge my cell phone. I plugged my cell phone charger cord into the micro usb hole in the tablet and it actually started to charge. Let it charge without trying to turn it on for about an hour then it should be charged enough to turn on. Now I charge my tablet with my cell phone cord and it works fine.

The onboard manual makes note of the ability to charge the unit using the micro USB port. As it turns out, this can be a very usefull feature if you forget your charger and have an auxillary battery pack available. The fact that you were able to charge your tablet via the micro USB port suggests that maybe the problem was with the charging adapter or a problem with the circuitry related to the charging port.

I agree, I have purchased several RCA tablets and so far only one of them is still working. The only solution that I can come to is to NOT buy any more tablets from RCA. If they want to keep there costumers then they need to be more user frenzy and at least a tempt to make more functional products and give much better customer service.
