Why does it not turn on all the time?

I had the same concern, but after notice it and understand it... you might press the ON button for at least 3-6 seconds and the release the button... other tablets only need to be pressed ON quickly... this seems to be a sligly different. Now I'm in love with my tablet.

Mine turns on all the time. Not sure what's wrong with your tablet. I would return it and get a new one

I have also noticed that it can be finicky when turning it on, but I usually just move my finger slightly on the "I/O" button and press again and it eventually comes on. Don't give up on the first press, and remember to hold it down for a couple of seconds.

Mine does that once shortly after I turn it on ...but not afterwards. Every few minutes? Lord

It might have a defect if it won't come on even if you push straight down firmly on the switch. You do need to push on the center of the switch firmly for it to come on.

It should automatically come on. If it does not come on, then it's defective.

If you need it to be on all the time, then do it, but it's best if you don't use it, turn it off and you may save some power... this just personal opinion. I always turned my off and if I need it, I'll turn it on.

It doesn't have an "off" it's always on. If it's not working try hitting the reset button on the underside near the battery compartment or changing the batteries.

Mine also goes on and off frequently. Very little really running on it. Sometimes it's on all the time, but it doesn't get super hot underneath.

Pushing the button on the battery case is how mine turns on and off. Possibly try changing the batteries? Not sure what size it takes though.

There are two different switches for settings. Check the one for time on. You probably have it on the lowest time on. Either that or it needs a new battery.

I have issues with my switch! Its a hit or miss....sometimes it turns on on the first touch, sometimes on the 10th

Mine works great and has for months with daily use. Have you tried hooking it up to unswitched power to see if it powers up at all? Otherwise sounds like a defect to me.

Mine has the same. E R. It won't turn on if I unplug and replug. Had it 2 yrs maybe. Will call manufacturer.

If the LED doesn't turn on while you are charging it, then the unit itself might be defective. If it does, then try holding the power button for 60 seconds. If, again it doesn't turn on, then it is also a broken unit.

What do you mean "it doesn't turn on"? You have to press the quick start or start/enter button to get the display to turn on, but nothing on the machine will actually move under it's own power.

Mine has always worked whenever I used it which is quite sporadically so I assume it is always on. I love mine!

I think that is when it goes into it's "high power mode" every once in a while. You can try turning it to low, but mine works way better/faster when it is on high. It gets annoying if you are sitting next to it and watching TV, so maybe put it in a different room and move it back when you are done?
