How Do You Fix a Tablet That Won’t Turn On?
Whether your tablet has just gone dark on you, or you’ve pulled a tablet out of a drawer and it won’t turn on, the steps to try to get it working again are the same.
You can also try replacing the cable used between the charger and the tablet. Consider trying to charge from a different wall socket. If you think the charging port on your tablet might be dirty, try cleaning the contacts with a lint free cloth and some isopropyl alcohol. Also look for lint in the port itself. Bring the tablet somewhere moderate and wait for the temperature to normalize before charging again. To do a factory reset when the tablet won’t turn on, you’ll need to use Android or iOS’ Recovery Mode.
