What if the tablet won't turn on? We eliminate all problems and their causes.

Yesterday everything was fine, but today the tablet does not turn on. What to do? How to fix the trouble and return the device to working condition? Let's try to do it together so that you don't have to go to the workshop.

What are the main reasons for the breakdown?

"Iron".

"Software".

"Iron" are related to the fact that the device cannot turn on due to broken cables, battery failure, problems with the motherboard or other parts of the device. It is difficult for an ordinary user to eliminate such breakdowns: this requires technical knowledge, special tools and spare parts. And self-disassembly of the device can lead to "burnout" of the warranty issued to you. Further repairs will need to be done at your own expense.

"Software" are associated with the installed software and software: not quite successful update, hardware failure, virus and others. Many users can deal with such glitches. But before fixing the problem, you should still figure out its cause.

Let's try to figure out why the tablet does not turn on, investigate all the symptoms and troubleshoot.

1. The tablet refuses to start due to battery

Think back to the last time you charged the device. The device may not turn on because there is not enough battery power. If a complete discharge occurs, then even after connecting to a power source, the device will not turn on (it takes time for the battery to accumulate a charge). If after 15 minutes of charging it was not possible to turn on the device, we "dig" further in search of the cause of the malfunction.

2. Charging the gadget does not work

Did you put your device on charge and find it turned off after a couple of hours? Perhaps the charger went off, and the gadget simply did not have time to accumulate a charge. To test the functionality, connect other tablets and evaluate the result. Chargers often burn out.

3. Damage caused malfunctions

Cracks, dents, strange stains ("cobweb" or stripes) are the reasons why it is important for you to pay attention to repairs. Perhaps, after the fall of the tablet, there was a serious failure, to eliminate which you will have to go to the specialists in the workshop.
