My S1 tablet has been working fine but today will not start up. When connected to power the green light is on but the screen does not show. Any clues or advice?

2 options worth trying:

press and hold the power button for 10secs to force it to turn off. Wait a minute and power back on (I've had to try this 3/4 times in a row before it worked for me).

Other option is to use a pin or needle to hit the tiny reset button just below the volume buttons

Had the same problem and I tried to hold down the power and volume buttons at the same time for a while and suddenly it restarted. Should be kind of reset but I do not know if it is the right way.

But why does the tablet works fine for 2 weeks en then suddenly will not start up , because that is exactly the same thing that happened to me. Other owners having the same problem ?

I hope it does'nt occur to often .

when it did happen to me it was before I updated, so it may have been more of an android issue?

I wait for long time, more than 30 minutes and the gold lines running yet.

try and get it to run fully out of power and then use a pin to press and hold the reset button for a count of 30. Then plug it in, let it charge for at least 15mins and try to turn it on.

I'll be surprised if that works as it sounds like the tablet is having trouble loading Android, so take it back and get it replaced is your most likely plan of attack.

I am having this problem too. The screen won't turn on, despite it being fully charged and plugged into the mains.

Has anybody found any ways to solve this issue?

Thanks,

Ruth

Hi guys -

Just got it turned on... The tablet was plugged in and charging and i held down the volume up button and pressed the power button and the screen came on.

Hope it helps.

Hi, I'm a new owner of a tablet s. I bought it in late June, and have already had to perform a factory re-set. Then, last night, the tablet shut down and would not power up even though the battery was at least 50% charged. I put it on charge, but it still would not come on, so left it charging overnight. At first this morning it would still not respond; I looked out the box and receipt and gave it one last try, and hey presto - it came to life. I tried all the usual advice - turn it off & on again, hold down the power button for 10 seconds, etc., but it seems to suit itself when it wants to work.

As a matter of interest, before I did the factory reset the "throw" function just would not work whatever I tried; now it works perfectly with my TV and internet radio.

It's a terrific machine when it works, but a pain in the neck when it's on strike!
