Modern electronics needs both hardware power and software. If the most powerful Android tablet cannot be launched, it makes no sense. However, in most cases, a device that has fallen into such a cover can be saved.
The nature of the problem
Why do you get in trouble when the tablet turns on, but does not load beyond the logo (like smartphones, by the way), or does not turn on at all?
- Flashing error. Such incidents happen if you (or a would-be master from the service center) try to install firmware on the tablet intended for another device. It is possible that during the installation process, there was a sudden power failure and the computer from which you installed the firmware turned off.
- Full battery discharge. A rather rare reason, however, it does take place (in particular, with Lenovo tablets).
- Clogged memory. When booting, any modern device needs free memory (). If there are problems with it, the tablet can take an unbearably long time to load and never fully boot.
- Mechanical damage. As a rule, they manifest themselves in a complete failure of the device to turn on, but there are exceptions.
With the tablet turned off, we are unlikely to be able to carry out an accurate diagnosis (except in cases of mechanical damage, traces of which remained on the case). But recovery methods are general in any case.
How to solve the problem?
Recovery mode
Modern Android devices are equipped with special recovery tools. Recovery Mode is designed to work with the system "at a low level". Through this mode, you can install a new firmware or a program deeply embedded in the system (for example, Google Apps). But the easiest way is to enter Recovery Mode and reset the system.
For different models, the entrance to the recovery is done differently. As a rule, for this you need to turn off the device, and turn it on again, hold down the power button together with the volume up (or down) key already pressed. However, some manufacturers are creative and apply their own solution (for example, with the Home button - like Apple). Therefore, before the procedure, search the Internet for how to enter recovery mode specifically on your model.
In the menu that appears, the touch display will not work. You need to move up and down through its items with the volume buttons, and confirm with the power button. Select Wipe Data Factory and apply. Then select Reset and reboot the tablet normally.
Of course, if you haven't made any backups, your apps and personal data will be reset. But they are not difficult to restore, especially if you have enabled the constant.
Flashing through a computer
If you cannot enter Recovery mode, then try restoring the tablet through a computer. There are many utilities for this purpose, however, for each specific model (or chipset), you must select the correct application.
So, for tablets on NVidia processors, the developer released a special application called NVFlash. There is a RockChip RK Batch Tool application for flashing models on RockChip. Other manufacturers also release their own flashing utilities. It is important to study the characteristics of your tablet and find the right software.
Important: Find the firmware version that exactly matches the hardware features of your tablet. Otherwise, the gadget can be completely destroyed.
Hardware solution
Sometimes it is impossible to save the device using software methods at all. Then the only solution is to completely change the main board with all the chips. As a rule, it can be ordered from online stores (most often in Chinese). If you are confident in the straightness of your hands and have the necessary equipment (you can hardly cope with a simple soldering iron with a wide tip and a screwdriver), then you can carry out the procedure yourself. It will be incomparably cheaper than buying a new tablet.
Users who are not confident in their abilities can contact the service centers. Yes, the procedure will be somewhat more expensive there. But you will have to wait less, and the repair will be carried out efficiently. And it is also cheaper than buying a new similar tablet.
Yes, your personal data and settings will inevitably die. But (see above) they can be restored through cloud services or simply manually.
It is important - how to prevent the occurrence of such problems
If you want to be prepared for such problems and get out of a difficult situation without loss, we advise you to do the following things:
- Turn on data sync across all accounts you trust: Google first. Activate the backup photo upload to Google+ or Facebook. By default, photos are saved in hidden albums, accessible only to you. If something goes wrong with your device, you can return all your data after restoring it (or buying a new one).
- Back up your apps regularly, preferably to a memory card or even cloud storage. We recommend the Titanium Backup application, which can save not only the applications themselves, but also their settings and data, as well as send copies of them to the Dropbox server. Moreover, we advise you to buy a licensed copy of this application: in case of problems, it will pay off.
- Do not clutter up your tablet memory. Try to install only the most necessary applications and games, and if possible, install them on a memory card. When choosing a card, pay attention to at least grade 10, and preferably UHS-I. Only such cards will provide you with a decent speed of work. We strongly advise against saving on little things and buying cards of the 4th class.
- Protect your device from physical damage. The advice is no longer new, but never superfluous.
Portable technology undoubtedly simplifies the life of a modern person. A small gadget can tell you what you need to take an umbrella on the road, or remind you of an important meeting. It's so captivating that the tablet knows more about us than our work colleagues. Therefore, if the device is for some reason, this problem is akin to a disaster. It is important that you are able to deal with the panic and deal with the possible causes of the malfunction.
Has your tablet dropped? In this case, you need to tune in to a trip to the service center. Especially if there is visible damage to the case. It is not worth doing something on your own, because the chance of successful repair on your own is close to zero.
The most frequent breakdown after strong blows or is the failure of the display or touchscreen. In this case, tech-savvy users are trying to save money and replace the part on their own. The problem is that internal faults may not appear immediately. And delaying professional diagnostics can only aggravate the situation.
The tablet does not work after contact with moisture
First of all, it is worth remembering that any liquid can become a “death sentence” for your gadget. It doesn't matter how wet the case is. If a short circuit does not occur and the device does not turn off, still take it to a service center as soon as possible. Moisture provokes oxidation of the contacts on the tablet boards, so it is important to clean it quickly.
The algorithm of actions, when the liquid gets on the gadget, is extremely simple, and consists of only two points:
- Turn off the device if it continues to operate and try to remove the battery.
- Take it to a service center.
Never try to turn on the device or dry it with a hair dryer. Any action can make the repair impossible.
Operating system problems
If either the screen suddenly went out during operation, it is worth thinking about problems with the operating system. First, try holding the power button for 15–20 seconds. Then release it and press it again for 2-5 seconds. Did not work? In this case, read the manual to find a hole on the case that allows you to make a Reset.
If there are no instructions, then just look for a small hole in the device that is clearly not a speaker or microphone. The Reset button is specially recessed into the case to prevent accidental reboots. To press it, you need a paper clip or a thin stick. Insert it into the hole until it clicks lightly. Such a measure should help in the event of a software failure.
Hard reset
Despite all attempts to restart the tablet, it won't turn on? Then Hard Reset is worth a try. This procedure involves rolling back the system to factory settings. That is, all your applications, files and contacts will be deleted. Therefore, everything that was not copied to the "cloud" cannot be restored.
To make a Hard Reset, you need to do the following:
- Enter Recovery Mode. To do this, you need to hold down several keys - all manufacturers have a different combination. Usually this is the power button and volume (up or down). Try different options or read the instructions for your tablet.
- In the menu that appears, select the Settings section. Next - the Format System item, and then - Reset Android. Navigation in the menu is carried out using the volume rocker, and to select a section, you need to press the power button.
Flashing
If you have tried everything possible, even Hard Reset, does not turn on, then the last measure is to rewrite the system. It is not worth doing this on your own, since you will void the warranty and can turn the gadget into a "brick". Take it to a service center.
Battery problems
If the tablet does not turn on at all or the screen goes out after a message about insufficient battery level, then try charging it first. This should resolve your problem. But if it turns on, then it doesn't - the reason may be a battery malfunction. First you have to disassemble the gadget and disconnect the battery. Then check the output voltage. You should get the following results:
- If the battery voltage is 3.7 V, and the charger voltage is 5 V, then the output will be 3.9-4.2 V.
- If the battery voltage is 7.4 V, and the charger voltage is 9 V, then the output will be 7.9–8.2 V.
- If the battery voltage is 7.4 V, and the charger voltage is 12 V, then the output will be 7.9-12.2 V.
Did you receive any other data? You can safely order a new battery. If the measurement results correspond to the norm, then you will hardly be able to diagnose the breakdown yourself. So just take your tablet to a service center and wait for the results.
Regardless of the type of malfunction, you should remember that flashing or disassembling the device will void the gadget's warranty rights. Is the screen turned off or the tablet won't turn on? All you can do is try to reboot the system and make sure the device doesn't need charging. Be sure to use cloud storage. Then you will not only restore the most important information, but you can also access it while the tablet is being repaired.
Play or watch a movie on your tablet, but ... it won't turn on. You are at a loss and the only question that interests you is why is this happening?
Don't send your tablet to a service center right away
Instead of panicking, let's find out why the tablet won't turn on, and how to figure it out on our own.
The tablet does not turn on - what could be the reasons?
First of all, problems with equipment of this kind can be conditionally divided into two types - mechanical - problems with the integrity of the device or with its parts, or with the system or software, that is, its internal contents.
We check the integrity of the device
It is logical that first you need to check the external integrity of the tablet, for which we will be guided by the following recommendations:
- Check if the battery is charged and remember the last time you put the device on charge. If it was a long time ago, and then you did not use the tablet for a long time, then it could be very discharged. Therefore, try plugging it in, wait a few hours - at first, in some cases, it does not even show that it is charging.
- If you see that charging does not occur even after a few hours, the matter may be in the charger itself - then you should try to connect another one to the tablet or connect this accessory to another tablet. So you can understand who is to blame - your gadget or your charging device.
- If you are sure that everything is in order with the charge, inspect the entire device for damage, but do not disassemble it - you can only make it worse.
- In the case when the tablet does not respond to the charge, did not fall and is not damaged, but completely refuses to respond to any action, most likely the matter is in a malfunction of one of the parts. In such a situation, all that remains is to carry it to specialists in order to find out what is the reason for its failure.
Note that in some cases, repairs can cost you more than buying a new tablet. Why? This happens if, for example, a video adapter breaks down. But this is the worst scenario - you should always hope for the best.
We are looking for problems with the system
Why won't the tablet turn on? If you see that it does not load completely, but gives signs of vital activity - for example, the screen lights up, but goes out after a few seconds, the boot logo appears, but then it does not go further, or the icon of a broken Android is knocked out for you, then all is not lost ...
First of all, try to reboot the system using the connector with the Reset key - this usually requires a rather thin object that needs to be pressed down on a small button inside this slot.
If this does not help, try resetting all parameters and settings to the factory version, which is done as follows:
- Turn off the tablet, remove the memory card and sim card from it, if any.
- Now you need to hold down the key combination to enable the hard reset mode - usually the volume and power keys are pressed simultaneously. In some devices, this combination may differ, try several options if the proposed option did not help you.
- When you see a menu like the BIOS on a computer, you need to execute the following commands in it:
- Settings - Format system - Wipe data / factory reset.
- To navigate between menu items, use only the volume keys, to select a section - the tablet power button.
A similar tablet recovery mechanism returns it to its original factory settings, while you will lose all files from memory, but you will get a working tablet.
Apart from this troubleshooting method, the logical method for starting up the tablet is to change its firmware.
Why is that?
Often, problems with turning on and then starting the system mean that the software does not fit the device or does not work correctly, so it needs to be reflash.
This is done quite simply by using the following actions:
- Download the appropriate firmware for your tablet to your computer.
- Write it to a previously formatted memory card in a folder called SCRIPT.
- Insert the memory card into the tablet, try starting it, after which the process of installing the new system will begin.
If the reset hard reset menu did not help you, the tablet does not reflash or does not respond to any actions with it, then it really is worth taking it into the hands of a specialist, because you never found out why it does not work. Do not risk its performance by opening the case, and do not go to its details - this can only make it worse.
Tablet breakage is one of the most unpleasant situations, especially if you actively use this device in your daily work and feel like you have no hands without it. However, let's not despair and fall into hysterics. Since you have visited the site, it means that you are interested in solving the problem yourself. Well, let's try to revive your tablet even if it won't turn on or show minimal signs of life.
Your main task is to conduct a thorough diagnosis and understand why the tablet does not turn on. In principle, there are not so many reasons for this, they can be divided into two separate groups: software and hardware faults.
The model of the device based on the Android OS is not of fundamental importance: it can be Asus, Lenovo, Samsung, cheap Chinese and other well-known tablet models, which the market is full of in abundance.
Eliminate software malfunctions of an android tablet
In simple terms, software errors occur after installing third-party applications (including Chinese and low-quality ones), which cause significant damage to the Android operating system. As a result of messy installations of such applications, the tablet does not turn on.
The second type of software breakdown of the tablet is an incorrect flashing, that is, replacing the current, official Android firmware with an incompatible one, which resulted in a failure to boot the Android OS.
Software crash after installing the app or flashing it
Do you like installing applications, games, decorations on Android? If you do this en masse, without reading the description, without removing unnecessary software after testing, expect trouble. Despite the fact that Android, in theory, monitors the activities of third-party applications, sometimes a clumsy application can cause a very unpleasant crash, after which Android simply crashes and freezes (loops) when trying to log in. In this case, of course, the screen backlight works.
How to turn on the tablet... The safest and fastest way to solve the problem is to perform a hard reset - that is, reset the firmware to the factory one.
Eliminate tablet hardware malfunctions
Hardware (mechanical) breakdown of the device also leads to a situation where the tablet turns off and does not turn on. For example, if you dropped the tablet, accidentally damaged it, noticed a defect on the case after giving the tablet to a friend or acquaintance - all this can cause a malfunction. Depending on the severity of the hardware damage, the tablet may not work correctly or not turn on at all - in the event that a vital component for the tablet's functioning fails.
So, let's look at the main types of tablet hardware malfunctions and what to do in each case.
The tablet is discharged or the battery is out of order
The tablet does not turn on, although it worked stably for a long time and did not cause any complaints. The device does not respond when the power button is pressed.
How to turn on the tablet... I have compiled a detailed manual on what to do if the tablet does not charge. I recommend taking a look: perhaps this way you can "with little blood" decide why the tablet does not turn on. Samsung, Asus, Lenovo tablets, even of high-quality assembly, are subject to similar problems after several years of operation.
In any case, we advise you to connect the tablet to the charger, wait 10 minutes and then press the power button of the mobile device several times. Also try holding down the Power button and waiting for 10 seconds until an image or other sign of life appears on the tablet screen.
The touchscreen flew on the tablet
Quite an obvious problem: the tablet works, but you cannot observe the results of its activity, since the screen simply does not work. In general, this is a very rare type of malfunction, since the touchscreen itself, in practice, cannot fail. To do this, you need to disconnect the contacts on the board or break the tablet screen.
How to fix... What to do if the tablet does not turn on precisely because of a defective touchscreen? If you are sure that the tablet does not work fully due to the non-working touchscreen, contact the specialists who will help you find the required matrix model and replace it on your would-be tablet. If you have the necessary repair skills and straight hands, it is quite possible to replace the touchscreen on the tablet on your own. It is not difficult to find and order this component on ebay.com. Specify the desired device model in the search (Samsung Galaxy ..., Lenovo ..., Asus ..., etc.), select the delivery method and expect the parcel with a touchscreen.
Serious physical injury
You dropped your tablet on the ground, accidentally put it in the oven, or just let a good friend use it for a while. As a result, the tablet does not work, with obvious signs of damage.
How to fix... What to do if the tablet does not turn on after a serious hardware failure? Alas, the only proven method remains: contact the service center, describe the problem and pay money.
If your tablet is under warranty, there is little chance of getting it repaired free of charge. However, under the terms of any warranty, you will not be able to repair or replace the tablet if the cause of the breakdown is careless use and / or breakdown due to the fault of the tablet user. In this situation, it remains to contact a paid service center and fix the defect on a paid basis.
Question answer
I ask you to help me figure out the problem with the tablet. I'll tell you the reason. The tablet worked, I watched the movie. Then I felt that he was very hot. Turned off the tablet and turned it on again. I worked a little and suddenly the tablet screen went out, it became dark as if it turned off. The tablet does not turn on.
When the charger is connected, there is a charging signal (the light is on), and the screen is dark. Please tell me what to do if the tablet does not turn on. What is the reason, can it be eliminated or discarded immediately.
Answer... Buy a new battery - it is possible that it is out of order or has ceased to hold capacity. Since the charger is working correctly, there shouldn't be any other problems.
A rather unpleasant thing happened today with the Asus tablet. I was watching a video on YouTube, suddenly my tablet began to lag. I decided to wait a bit, but it didn't help and he didn't stop lagging. I decided to press the screen lock button (I have been using this method for a long time on my phone, and it helped me) then the screen went out, I started pressing the screen lock button again, but the tablet did not want to turn on! It's a pity, the tablet is new, literally a month for him! Why won't Asus tablet turn on and how to turn it on? I'd like to fix this problem!
Answer... One of the main reasons the tablet won't turn on is the battery. The tablet may have had a very old battery installed when you purchased it. Try charging your Asus via a USB cable or from a charger. We advise you to replace the battery with a new one (fortunately, the Chinese ones cost about $ 10).
I calmly watched the series on the Asus tablet. I started to lay down the tablet, not heated, just turned it on. I decided to wait, the screen turned off, the sound went on - the sound passed. I decided to wait and then turn it on. But it does not turn on !!! What to do? Granny's tablet is not mine !! I've watched the series on a verified site for 6 days already, and nothing like that happened. The asus tablet is 4 years 2.5 years old, did not use it at all, and when they started using it, it was only 2-5 times a month. Why won't my tablet turn on? HELP ME THE PARENTS WILL KILL FOR WHAT I BROKEN THE TABLET WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING !!!
Answer... Most likely a battery problem. Put the tablet on charge, after half an hour try to turn it on. If it doesn't work, make sure the charger is working properly. If all else fails, take the tablet to the nearest repair shop.
Lenovo tablet suddenly froze and did not respond to touch. He also did not respond to the lock button. Then the screen went out. And now the tablet won't turn on.
Answer... If there is no physical damage to the tablet, the problem is with the tablet battery. See above in the text, we have already answered similar questions.

Accidentally the tablet (lenovo tab) fell to the floor. After that, it did not turn on for a long time (it only vibrated and the screen did not light up), and then the screen turned on but was black. When unlocking (swipe up), a sound is heard (I have a click (it should have been)), but the screen does not show anything. I wanted to reboot, but I can't see the shutdown confirmation on the screen (I can't press "shutdown" on the screen). There are no cracks on the screen, no scratches either. No games. The tablet works this way (I can hear it by sound and vibration when pressed), but the screen does not show anything. What can it be and what to do about it?

Quite often people complain that their tablet is not loading. How to be in this situation? What actions will help to "revive" the device without much difficulty? Is it possible to somehow turn on a gadget that refuses to work? Why does the tablet sometimes fail to boot at all? Sorting out all this is not as difficult as it seems. And this is despite the fact that there can be many reasons for this phenomenon. It is enough to carefully remember what preceded the breakdown. So what if the tablet doesn't work and doesn't want to boot?
Classification of causes
It has already been said that many situations can be the source of the problem. There is a certain classification of them. She half helps to understand what happened and to draw up a further plan of action.
Tablets and other devices may refuse to work and boot normally under the following conditions:
- due to hardware problems;
- in case of failures in the installed software.
As a rule, in the first case, it is impossible to say for sure whether it will be possible to bring the gadget back to life. But in the case of software, most often it is possible to restore the tablet's performance without much difficulty.
No charge
Now a little about what specific problems users have and how to solve them. Tablet won't boot? "Android" or whatever is not so important. The first step is to make sure the device has enough power to get started. As a rule, if it is not there, then the gadget will refuse to work.
Sometimes the tablet boots up and turns off immediately. In some situations, the screen turns off after the manufacturer's logo. Such situations indicate that the device has a little energy, but it is not enough for normal operation of the system.
In such situations, it is suggested:
- Turn on the tablet, wait a little and try to turn it on again. Once the charge appears, the problem will disappear.
- Replace device battery. Sometimes it is a bad or faulty battery that causes the tablet to not boot.
Manufacturer
The next common reason is the manufacturer. Tablet won't boot? You shouldn't be surprised at this phenomenon when it comes to Chinese products. In particular, duplicates from well-known manufacturers.
If a citizen has a Chinese tablet, then the problems associated with turning on the device can be eliminated by the following methods:
- rebooting the gadget (constantly trying to turn it on);
- repair in a service center;
- buying a new device.
In practice, most often, Chinese devices are reanimated by handing them over for repair, or the problem is solved by purchasing a new tablet. Original gadgets rarely have problems and malfunctions. But no one can be 100% insured from them.
Viruses
Does the tablet turn on but won't boot? In fact, this phenomenon is not so rare. In practice, many users have encountered similar situations.
Problems with turning on tablets are sometimes caused by viruses that have penetrated the operating system of the gadget. Now there are a lot of various infections that bring them down the OS of phones and other mobile devices. His treatment will help bring the gadget back to life.
It is usually carried out in service centers. It is not recommended for users to check and clean the tablets on their own. Otherwise, you may face a complete crash of the OS.
Settings
What if the tablet won't boot? Not to panic is the main thing. Most situations can be resolved without much difficulty. It is enough to know how to act in this or that case.
For example, sometimes the reason that the tablet does not boot is the broken settings of the operating system. You can "reset" them. After this step, the device starts working normally.
Hard reset
Factory reset on mobile devices is called "Hard Reset". It is carried out according to a specific algorithm. The help of specialists is not needed here - everyone is able to cope with the task independently.
Tablet won't boot? Before sorting out the possible causes of the problem, it is recommended to carry out a "Hard Reset". It is proposed to activate this function according to the following algorithm:
- Remove the SIM card and memory from the device. These are not required steps, but it is best to take them to work properly with the operating system.
- Simultaneously press the power button of the device, as well as the volume controls.
- Keep the buttons pressed for a few seconds. The device should vibrate and turn on.
- On the screen, select "Settings" - "Format".
- You need to select "Restart", or Reset. The device will perform the mentioned action. The settings will be reset during the process.
It is this algorithm of actions that will help to reset the settings to the warehouse. If this was the problem, then after the procedure the tablet will work with renewed vigor.
Firmware
However, these are not all the reasons why the device under study refuses to work. As mentioned, sometimes the problem is in the software. Does the tablet not load beyond the logo or refuses to work normally? Then it is proposed to use another trick. But it is better to use it after activating the "Hard Reset" option. What is it about?
About the operating system firmware. Problems with this component lead to the fact that the tablet does not load. It is recommended to restore the firmware to its original state. How to do it?
For self-resetting, you can use the following procedure:
- Press the power button on the device at the same time, as well as the volume control button.
- Wait for the tablet to vibrate. As soon as it appears, release the pressed buttons.
- In the menu, select "Settings" - "Firmware recovery".
- Wait until the end of the process.
It should be noted that if it is impossible to enter the recovery mode, the source of the problem with turning on is precisely the hardware damage. Most likely, you will have to carry the gadget to repair or just buy a new device.
Flashing
Tablet won't boot? Another way to bring the device back to life is by flashing the gadget. It is highly discouraged to carry out this process on your own. In inept hands, flashing leads to the final "death" of the device.
That is why it would be best to take the gadget to a service center. There, for a fee, the device will be flashed. After that, the tablet will work like new. But an incorrectly performed flashing can cause a lot of problems for users.
Damage
Does the tablet turn on but won't boot? Or does it not react at all to actions? It is likely that mechanical damage has occurred. It is very common among modern users. There are several methods to correct this phenomenon.
More specifically, the following tricks are worth trying:
- try to turn on the tablet several times;
- take the gadget to the service center for diagnostics;
- change device.
As a rule, mechanical damage can occur with any negative impact on the tablet. For example, if the device falls out of hand. Or he was crushed by some objects. Quite often, girls and adolescents face a similar problem, simply carrying a tablet in bags with many things.
Unfortunately, such situations are most often resolved by direct replacement of devices. There is no point in reflashing or resetting settings. It is best to entrust all manipulations to professionals.
Repairs
What if the tablet does not load, and all the actions that could be taken have already been completed? In this case, there is only one thing left - contacting the service center. Specially trained people for a certain fee will carry out a complete diagnosis of the device, as well as help bring the tablet back to life. Of course, if this is possible.
Most often, this is the method that delivers the least problems. The service center will be able to change the firmware and some damaged components of the tablet. Only in some cases even contacting such an organization is useless. This means that you will no longer be able to turn on the tablet - you will have to buy a new one.
In fact, you should not be afraid of a situation in which the tablet or phone does not turn on. If you do not want to understand the problem for a long time, it is better to take the device for repair right away. This is the safest and best solution.
