Why does the battery level icon show only a "lightning strike" symbol?

Charge it. Press and hold the power button. If shows a battery by itself it's dead and it's not charging. If it's a battery with a lightning bolt symbol it's dead and it's charging. If it turns on, go to settings, find wifi settings, turn wifi on, find your wifi network, and enter the password for your wifi.

Plug it in to the AC outlet via a charger.
Wait for an extended period of time...then try to turn it On.

Does your iPad turn on ?
If so, what is the battery level shown by the battery icon at the top of the screen ? Does it have a lightning bolt in the middle, showing that it is charging ?

if nothing happens, your iPad battery may be dead.
Take your iPad to an Apple astore to have it replaced.

HI Brittney

What tablet did you purchase? You have 2 questions here, so I will answer the 2nd one first.

You downloaded games and can't find them? They are usually loacted here... click Settings/Apps/Downloaded.

The first question, depends on what tablet it is.. Samsung ? Apple?

Have you tried plugging in the charger and wait a few minutes for the tablet to show the battery is charging? (on the bottom right there is a battery icon) It should show a small lightning bolt as its charging. If not... take it back to the place you bought it as it's NEW and they can replace it if it's faulty.

That symbol usually indicates the battery isn't charged or charging. It could be a connection problem, a charger problem, or a battery problem.

If you have an extra wall charger, try that first as they don't always last forever. Make sure the plug that connects to your tablet looks clean and not corroded.

If it still won't charge, then chances are the battery needs servicing to make sure the connection is OK or the battery just might need to be replaced.

The fact the battery shows fully charged means nothing, the symptom is a defective battery.

That symbol means that the tablet battery is plugged in and is supposed to be receiving charging voltage. If the battery is bad, it may not charge but the tablet will still work with the charger plugged in.

Depends upon exactly what's happening.

• When you plug in your charger, does it try to charge the Tablet? ie Does the Charging icon come on the screen briefly when the charger is plugged in with the Tablet turned off, or does the little charging 'lightning' symbol come onto the battery icon on the home screen when the Tablet is running?

• I assume the battery has gone flat, but will the Tablet turn on when the charger is connected?

If the charging icon comes on, and/or the tablet will run on the charger, then both the charger and the charge port connection on the Tablet are OK, and the most probable cause of failure is the internal battery which will need to be replaced.

However, If neither the icon comes on nor the Tablet runs on the charger, then either the charger has died, or the plug/socket on the Tablet where it connects is faulty. The most likely cause is that the charger has died and will neeed to be replaced

There is a slight chance that the internal charging circuits in the Tablet may have developed a fault, but that is highly unlikely {:o)

The trash symbol will only show up when you push and press/hold the icon you wish to delete....as soon as you have pressed the icon long enough the trash icon will show up on the bottom in the middle of the screen...then you drag your icon you wish to delete to the trash icon.
