My tablet ran down to zero while I was charging it. Had screen brightness up and run youtube app. Left it on my desk thinking it was charging but didn't check it.

Tablet will not turn on when power button is depressed. No images on screen. After I connect to the charger after a couple seconds a gray battery image appears with a white lighting bolt. After a while the screen will flicker and then go out. No loading animation comes up after that and tablet will not start while plugged in.

NOTE: Yes, I know some tablet batteries are not so easy to get to, on some devices. In such a case, make sure that your tablet is not under warranty still before you try opening it up yourself. If it is under warranty, then contact the manufacturer first.


Try the following and see if it will turn on.

1. Remove the battery.
2. Press and hold the "Power" button for 20 seconds.
3. Now put the battery back in.
4. Plug it in to charge and allow it to fully charge before turning it on.

If this doesn't help, then test the charger cord to see if it is good. Either try your cord in another device, or try another devices cord on your device.

Should that not be the problem, then check the battery to see if it needs replacing.

If you still can't get it working, and if it isn't under warranty, then I would try a local tech.
