Buy one of these tablets and after a week of use lit no more. Just does not react when I press the power button. I think it's a software problem.

To my knowledge, you can't power it on. I just put mine to sleep and then use the keyboard to bring it back up. But if you have shut if off, you'll have to open it up to power it on.

I had this same issue with mine last night. I finally had to Hold the power button down for 10-15 seconds for it to turn off. I also plugged it into the charger to attempt to turn it off. It finally did turn off after an hour of searching here on web. However, it will not move past the android guy in the middle of screen when turned back on. I am returning it today.

It sounds like you have a bad unit. With mine, the screen lights up when I push the power on button whether on USB or not. Now, the screen does not stay lighted the whole time the payer is running, I assume for battery life, but my screen lights anytime I press the power button, but stays lit only for 4 or 5 seconds. HTH

Yeah, mine will get stuck and become unresponsive at the unlock screen and you have to hold the power button to force a power down.Sometimes it won't start up again if the battery has completely drained *even after it is recharged*. When this happens, I have to connect the power cord, hold the power button, wait a few seconds, then it will boot and I can disconnect the cord and see 100% battery. This actually happened right out of the box after charging for 6 hours too.For the most part it is pretty slick though. I can't if there's an easy way to close "background apps" or not though.

The power button doesn't seem tow work on any of these units. (I have the 4 bay and have the same issue). Just log into the web-interface and shut it down from there.

That can be frustrating. It happened to me last week. Make sure it is charged, remove the charger, then hold down the power button for as long as you can. Hope this helps.

Sounds like a battery problem (either incorrectly installed or DEAD) or a screen failure.Anytime you hit the On/Off button on the top OR the review button (has a right arrow in a box on the button) to the left of the Menu button on the back, the screen comes on.

Jamie,It must be a bug with the tablet. This happened to me too when i bought my replacement charger but if you leave it plugged in, it will charge albeit slower than normal. Plug it in while using or before bed and you should be set!

Hi - I also purchased this tablet for my granddaughter for Christmas....2 weeks later it won't turn on. I have written to the seller and they have graciously provided me info to return it for an exchange. It worked wonderfully for the 2 weeks so I am hoping a replacement will resolve the problem. Hope this helps.

If the case is charged then the silver power button at the bottom should turn it on. If not, the device might be broken.

I just press the power button on mine until it turns off. It makes two sounds, the first time it makes a sound you have to keep holding down the button until it makes the second sound, after that it should turn off.

What are you describing as a "Release" button? I just use the power button, myself.

Might be a lose battery. Try to put a slight pressure on the battery while pressing power button. Also try to remove and re-install the battery.

what you should do is,,1. un-plug it and reboot ur tablet,,2. turned the power off,,wwait about 5mins ,, 3. power up ur tablet ,,if not fully charge ,,4, plug the charge in ,,and see the indicator ,,should show charging sign,,5. if it doesn't it mean ur charging port is defected !! 6. the charging port is very sensitive ,,by forcing and wiggling it a lot ,,you may have damage the charging port ,,
