The power button won't work at all and whenever the tablet was on...i couldn't do anything because it was like someone else was touching the screen somewhere else...Please help!!

You will need to replace the screen, it has whats called a "digitizer"(it is what take the input from you finger and selects the corresponding selection on the screen), I would presume this is damaged.

SOURCE: I cannot rotate the screen's display using the tablet control button

Try holding down the CTRL, ALT and the up arrow or any of the arrows and see if that does the trick with rotating the screen.

As far as the normal rotate button is concerned, try downloading the drivers for it thru toshibas website. If you have the model number of your laptop I can help you with that.

Hi! I do understand that you are having the problem on the laptop turning on. Try another option, turn off laptop, remove cables and battery, press and hold power button for 10 secs. Reinsert the cables and battery on the laptop. Then turn it on. If the laptop did not turned on, remove the power cable and turned on the laptop. If still didn't, remove the battery and insert the power cable. If still did not work then check if there lights flashed on the laptop when turning it on. If still does not, then you need to contact the pc manufacturer for repair and possible replacement. Otherwise, if there is light on the laptop, then there might be a problem either the battery or the power cable itself. If there is light on the laptop but no power cable, most likely the monitor did not work simply because the battery works due to the fact that there is light on the laptop. On the other hand if there is light when plugging in the power cable on the laptop, then you need to check and insert another battery if it works. Otherwise you need to replace the battery...

Unlock cracked screen nextbook 8

On some touch screen device, the tough part of the screen won't work when it has a crack. So it ill be difficult to unlock the screen as long as it has a crack. Ask yourself if it is worth repairing the screen, when you know what a repair shop asks for the repair and what a new device costs.

My Premium 8 Nextbook tablet froze so I tried using the reset button in the back,that didnt work so I tried the hold the power button and volume at the same time method and that didnt work either...

Something must have happened during the last update. Either it lost connection or crashed before the process was complete. This unfortunately is called 'a brick' or 'bricked'. You will have to find a way to restore the OS to the tablet. It may need a complete wipe and reinstallation. My suggestion would be to find a local PC tech in the area that services tablets. Or you may have to contact the manufacturer and create a service ticket.

Try a reset. Grab a paperclip, look for a tiny hole - probably on the back, straighten the paperclip and gently press it into the hole. It woks for me on my Hudl!!!

My next book tablet won't rotate back to its right place, how do I get it back to normal?

I'm assuming that the Nextbook uses an android OS for this answer. On the drop down menu that appears when you "pull down" the top right corner of the screen there should be a "rotation lock" button if it's on then turn it off, if it is off then there may be something wrong with the position sensor in the tablet.

How to unlock apps on nextbook

1. Back up everything you feel is important before you start.
2. Charge your device to 75% or more before you begin to prevent unwanted shutdowns.
3. This method will only work for the versions of Nextbook 8 bought before August 2013. Check the back of the tablet and if the serial number begins with YFG1013, YFG1113 or higher, this procedure is not for you!

II. Necessary Downloads

1. SMT_Next8HD8G_Mod_Recovery.zip [Download link available in this post]
2. Kyser_Root-signed.zip [Download link available in this post]

III. Rooting the Nextbook 8

1. Extract SMT_Next8HD8G_Mod_Recovery.zip to a folder on your desktop. You should end up with a file calleduImage_recovery with no extension.
2. Connect your device to your PC and copy both uImage_recovery and Kyser_Root-signed.zip to your device's external SD card (not the internal memory, insert a microSD card if you don't already have one); do not put them into any subfolders just drop them in the main folder of your device's external SD card.
3. Power down your device and reboot to the modified recovery you have just copied. To do this, with the device powered off, press and hold the Volume Up + Volume Down buttons with the Power button until you pass the splash screen, a black screen and you see the recovery menu.
4. Use the Volume Up and Down buttons to highlight the 'Flash zip from EXT card' option and the power button to confirm the selection.
5. Once flashed, go back to the main menu and select 'reboot system.'
Once the Nextbook 8 reboots, check for the SuperSU app in the app drawer (install it from the Play Store if you don't find it) to verify you are rooted!

One side of my nextbook 7 se is non responcive

Sorry, but this will require a new screen and a new digitizer. Might be cheaper to just buy a new one and put this on ebay to sell as parts/non working.
