I purchased this on Sept 7th and it will not power up. I have plugged it in and I do not get the battery indicator. I think the battery was drained please advise? Does this take awhile to come back up?

I had a king pad and returned it for the same problem. After I returned it someone commented that if you hold the power on key down for 30 seconds it will power back up. Good luck

Yes, I am in the same boat as you are. There was a battery terminal missing on mine in the inside of the battery pack. Called the manufacturer they said take it up with the people you bought it from, and so I did. I'll be returning mine for a full refund. Lots of disappointed people on this one, I'd say. On Christmas, too. Good luck, ya'll. But I'd say yes, there probably was a whole shipment of these that were defective...

Hi. I started charging mine as soon as I unboxed it. It had some charge to it but not 100%. So far mine is ok but I hope both of us didn't get a refurbished product. Maybe someone else will reply too.

Need more info - like was it plugged in when the screen went dark?.. Have you tried plugging it in to be recharged to see if the green battery lights up? (May have to push the power on button momentarily while charger is plugged in).. If "yes" does it hold a charge and have you tried to turn it on while plugged in?.. If it's a battery or a tablet issue it need a tech - it could possibly be a charger issue.. Contact the factory, who knows they may stand behind their product and repair/replace - depending on many factors..

I had the same problem, and returned mine. It started off barely charging and then would not even power on anymore. There is obviously a defect.

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

Mine wroked until after I charged it then it barley trickled any electricity. It might be the battery. These things are pretty much junk and you would be lucky to get a good one.

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessary to discharge fully then recharge. It may be it came discharged, and must be on charge to be recognized, I bought an inexpensive battery and it lasted about three days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibility would be an incorrect battery? Best regards, Sammy

Read the instructions and make sure everything is being hooked up properly. If that is not working I would try a new battery or send it and exchange it. I have had zero problems with mine so far. I hope this helps.

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

The same thing happened to me. I bought 2 of them and 1 don't turn on . I also replaced the batteries and it still doesn't work. I don't know how to replace it eather because the packaging has been taken out to the trash.

Mine stopped working too and it made a loud buzzing noise... it should turn on after the power is turned on, I fixed mine by just bopping the side and it worked!

I think I have a problem with mine. It only shows full power for about two weeks. I'm not real happy with mine.

I just installed the battery, connected the phone to charge it, and used it a few minutes later with no problem. Not sure why yours won't power up. You might want to have the battery replaced. Does the old battery power up? If it does, you definetely will need to have the battery replaced for a new one as it might be defective. :(

My guess is that it's a bad bit of hardware (battery that isn't holding a charge) or the power button is malfunctioning. You have to hold down the "play" button for a long time to get it to turn on and I think that must put a lot of pressure on the button. I'd contact the manufacturer and tell them what the problem is and ask for a replacement unit.

Buying a battery might be a cheap fix. Make sure the charging unit is plugged in and it lights up when the unit is placed in the charger. If the unit is new, send it back.

I agree. Send it back. Mine has been perfect. Changed the battery once and it works great.
