SOURCE: My galaxy tablet was fine

You can damage the battery but it is very rare to actually do that. What you need to do is plug it in to the wall charger and leave it alone over night. At that point it should be just fine. it will actually start to show some signs of life after a few hours but don't be tempted to do anything wih it. it will first show a charge light or something after maybe 40 minutes if it is a faster charger.
If it shows no life the next day then you can try charging again but at this point you may hae a problem that requires either a battery replacement or warrenty. The battery has a microcontroller on it and when the battey gets real low they do not behave that well and typically you get the stone dead brick behaviour. And most people do not let it charge long enough to get it working. It is possible that there are other problems but those are usually moore serious and require replacement of the unit. The battery can be replaced but requires the etire case to be disassembled.
So charge it then check your warrenty and it may need serious repairs or to be replaced. If it is out of warrenty then you need to be careful on the cost verses replaceemn

SOURCE: tablet wont boot into anything but screen with horizontal lines..just got it today and charged battery and now i get nothing?

Holding the power button down for 10-15 seconds is considered a hard reset on most tablets. If it still won't load you can try doing a factory restore.

  • Make sure the tablet is powered off
  • Briefly tap the power button once, then hold the power button and volume down until you get the boot menu
  • There should be an option to factory reset or something to that affect

SOURCE: Brand new archos arnova 10 tablet. It is stuck on

To hard reset a tablet, hold the power button down until it shuts off then press it to turn back on. Should take about 5 - 10 seconds for the device to power off.

My sons kurio 4s power button doesn't work. I have to plug it into a charger

Check the battery is charged - it may be duff and need replaced if it is not charging or your power adaptor may not be charging it - check it with a multimeter - the power socket on laptops and tablets are very susceptible to damage - if that fails then plug it into a pc using the usb port - it will charge very slowly as usb only has a very low charge current but be patient and if it charges up after 12 hours using the usb method you will know one way or another whether its the battery or the power socket or charger.

Proscan 7044K-C tablet won't charge

Test your charger with a multi-meter, does it output the correct supply? If not you need a new charger.

If your charger is ok, take a look at the charging socket, is it damaged in any way? Does the charger feel loose when it's plugged into the socket? If so you may need to have your charging socket repaired/replaced.

After checking all this the next thing I would try is a new battery. However, most tablets will at least work from main supply, even if the battery is faulty.

Arnova 7k g3 wont charge

You probably destroyed the port plate of the charger. You should check if it is bent or dented and if they are the price to get it fixed is $50-$150

Asus transformer T100T battery takes hours to charge & tablet won't turn on

So, greyhen2, we meet again. Here's the answer I gave to your other posting of this same question:

The battery on the Asus does take a very long time to charge (over 12 hours before you use it the first time, then 8 hours or more each time). It takes even longer if you charge it from the USB port in a computer rather than connect it to its dedicated charger, or if you use it while it's charging. If you've already charged it for 8-12 hours, try turning it on by pressing the power button *and holding it down* for a couple of seconds before releasing it. Then, when using the tablet, try keeping it hooked up to the charger when possible, or at least recharge it overnight.

You can check on battery charge by tapping "Settings" at the bottom of the Home screen, then tap "Battery" in the Device category. The % charge will be at the top of the screen. I enjoy my Asus tablet, and it's good for several hours at a time between charges, but you do have to keep it charged up. Good luck!

Why is there a red cross on the battery icon of galaxy tab though its fully charged?

I studied my galaxy note 10.1. when i use the original wall charger it charges well, fast an no red cross appears. when i hook it to the usb of my laptop then the red cross apears and the tab reports that it is not on battery ( look at the time on battery it does not change) the battery also remains at the same charge level that it was when i hooked it up. when i use the car charger it does the same as with the laptop. my conclusion is that when hooked to the car and/or laptop the battery does not charge, but the tablet is running of the power from the external source and not the battery. this seems to be a very clever move from samsung to preserve the battery when it cannot be charged by the device it is hooked up to.
