Why won't my Lenovo tablet turn back on?

Why won't my Lenovo tablet turn back on?

Hello! I got my Lenovo tablet in June of 2013, but didn't begin using it until the following month. I wasn't frequently getting on my tablet until September of that year. I traveled with it across a few states and it had problems turning on, but managed to follow through until March of 2014. I left the laptop plugged in and charging for a few hours (to try and fix it), but it wouldn't turn back on. I don't want to pay obscene amounts to fix it or buy a new one, but if that's the case then I'll deal. Can you help me fix it ?

"Try this:

1. Plug the power adapter into the Tablet

2. With the adapter plugged in, Hold down the power button for 20 seconds

3. Disconnect the power adapter from the Tablet and press the power button for 20 seconds.

4. Reconnect the power adapter and turn on the Tablet. It should power up just fine.

If this doesn't work, please return and we will continue to assist with your troubleshooting"

"Hello future Googlers! I managed to figure this out as the previous suggestions posted did not work for my tablet (thinkpad tablet 2 Compliance ID: TP00043A)

What I did was (using the original AC adapter and usb cable plugged in to power):

plug in the power

using a straightened paper clip, insert it into the hole on the bottom edge of the tablet to the left of the docking port until you feel it click

hold for 20 seconds

remove clip

unplug power cable

insert clip again and hold for 20 seconds

plug power back in

press top power button

hope this helps!"

"Try this:

Plug in the ac adapter that came with your tablet and hold the power button for 20 seconds.

Unplug the ac adapter and press the power button. Wait until it boots up. If you see the screen flash while booting, don't worry. When it boots up, plug in the ac adapter and let it charge for 1 hour. It should work."

"Hi. We have a ThinkPad Tablet 2 that would not boot at all. All of the above suggestions was tried without success.

So we removed the back of the tablet and removed the cable from the internal battery - just for a few seconds. Then reconnected the cable to the battery and connected the charger cable to the tablet - and then it began to charge :-)

Apparently there is a protection circuit in the battery that must be reset if the battery is completely drained.

Hope that can help somone."

"Turn off the ""sleep"" setting. Set it to ""Never""

Settings--> Device --> Display --> Sleep

scroll up to ""never""

That worked for me!"
