What to do if your Android tablet does not turn on or does not start

Recovery mode Android tablet

Turning on a tablet is an operation, a priori, simple: we just need to press the power button and wait for the system to boot. However, we can find ourselves in a situation where, no matter how hard we try, let's not get the tablet to work performing this operation. If it is a hardware problem, the only solution will be to take the equipment to technical service, however, if the origin of the problem is in the software, there are a series of procedures to solve the contingency.

Battery problems

Let's start with the simplest and most frequent: it is possible that, for various reasons, our Android tablet is absolutely empty load. If when connecting it to the charger we try to turn on and it does not work, do not panic: mobile phones and tablets need to have some energy to start the loading mechanismTherefore, it is necessary to leave them for a while (15-20 minutes) before starting the recovery.

If we still do not get results, we recommend trying another outlet and with another charger. The former is more uncommon for it to fail, but charging cables have a useful life and ours may be damaged at some point.

Breaking the current cycle

Like any operating system, Android can sometimes enter a loop that prevents it from working properly. If we have a smartphone with removable battery, breaking the "wicked" current loop to force a 'hard reset', or hard reset, only requires removing the battery for several seconds.

However, in the absolute majority of tablets the piece is glued to the rest of the components and is inaccessible. In this case, what we must do is, with the equipment off, press and hold for 30 seconds or more the power button and release. In this way we will achieve the same effect of breaking the loop; like if we cuts completely current flow of the team.

Return the system to factory settings

It is a somewhat delicate matter, because in this case we will lose the information that we have stored in the memory of our tablet. Therefore, and although it seems that everything is working perfectly, it is absolutely recommended that we get used to using something that allows us to do Backup of our photos and videos in the cloud, you never know when the system will give us a scare. dropbox, Google Drive o SkyDrive they are the best known of their kind.

We will apply this procedure when the tablet turns on, but does not start. Each team has a specific way of starting the recovery mode. It can be, for example, pressing the power button and the volume button up at the same time or any other, so we recommend doing a Google search for your tablet model plus 'recovery mode' to know the effective combination.

restore factory settings

Once we have it, we start in this mode and wait until the drawing of the android appears lying on its back with a red triangle poking out of its entrails. We press the power button again and the volume up and we find a menu where we will select wipe data / factory reset, yes - delete all user data and we wait for the process to be completed. We will have our tablet operational again, but we will have lost all the configuration and data that it saved previously.

    My tablet was shipped and I had to reset it but it does not want to respond to a new operating system, does that mean that it no longer has any repair? Please answer since they told me that the tablet no longer has a solution, that makes me very sad

    I have an ASUS ZenPad C 7.0 tablet for just three months. The other day while you were using it it ran out of battery. As after two days when I want to charge it, it does not turn on or anything, nor does it tell me if it is charging or not. Try multiple chargers and even from PC via USB and nothing. When I connect it to the PC I get an unknown device. Despite being new, I cannot use the guarantee since I bought it in Miami and I live in Argentina. I would appreciate your help. Greetings.,

      Let me ask you a question. Did that happen to you after updating it? The same thing happened to me as it did to you, I don't have a guarantee either and I only had it one day. I left it for several hours charging and nothing. The only thing that revived it was holding down the power button for 30 seconds. But what happens to him now is that he is doing the update and does not advance

    I have a tablet that I bought, the box says irobot, the tablet does not say anything, neither model, nor brand, nor serial, nothing, I only know that it is 4gb, the slots it has are the earphone, charger, sd card and a slot for a special adapter that comes in its box, this adapter is a kind of pendrive with 2 slots for usb and one for dsl cable, MY PROBLEM IS THE FOLLOWING, I turn it on and it remains in the mu; android equito from there it does not happen , I can't do the FACTORY RESET by any key combination, she brings a reset button but it doesn't do anything to me, I fail and it remains the same, I repeat all the combinations that I tried, none of them worked, as I do! I read that it may be the firmware that if I download it and compress it then I put it on the sd card and put it in the tablet and turn it on and it repairs itself, but I don't know if it's true, I can't find the firmware anywhere, I'm in the air, how do I connect it to the pc! It has no usb input, only if I connect the adapter, but the adapter will work if the android does not start !!! It will allow me to access the tablet !!! What program can I use to know the model of my tablet !!! this is my e-mail mikhail.russo2015@gmail.com ay if you want to see it in goole it appears as IROBOT APAD VIA
