As for my experience my tablet stopped working completely after a few weeks or so. Same type of problem. It worked fine one day and the next day nothing. I returned mine because it stopped working without reason. Amazon took full responsibility in its return and it was easy. They refunded my charge card amount as well. Sorry about your problem.

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

I had that problem once. There is a reset button to push. When I did that it powered back on and I haven't had the issue since.

Charge it overnight and try again. Ours showed that it was not charged at all but worked fine all of the sudden. We had not charged it for months. Other than that I do not know.

You should at least be able to power up after 2 hours. I've always left mine plugged in overnite but they've been known to have defective batteries.

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. :(

Jim, your comment "before 24 hours of use is up," is accurate. My battery went over and I have been unable to awaken the device at all. The battery does not recharge. Period. So, if you are likely - like me - to forget to recharge it every now and then, you will be out of luck.Jorge

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.

Are you positive it is the cord and not the battery? A dead battery will not charge. If you're certain it's the cord, contact the manufacturer on the warranty and tell them what happened. I have had this cord for a couple of months and so far, no problems. It might just be your cord is defective. If you're not sure it's not the battery, you can tell by the little battery icon in the task menu tray on the bottom right of the screen when the cord is plugged in. If there is a plug next to it but it's not charging, it's likely your battery needs to be replaced. Also, make sure the cord is fully connected at every juncture. My cord tends to slip out of the outlet sometimes and the connection to the power box loosens sometimes. Another thing to look for is the green light on the power box. If that is on when it is plugged in, the cord is still getting power. If that's off, it's dead. If you want the cord "asap", you will have to order another one. Not likely the manufacturer will act quickly. They aren't expensive. You might end up spending just as much in shipping costs. If the battery is the problem, they sell the battery on Amazon too. Just turn off your computer and remove the battery. The model number on the battery should be there. Just type it into the search window on Amazon and it will come up. I bought both within the last 9 months. One more thing. Make absolutely sure the cord you are using is for your computer. If you still have it, check the model number on the cord that came with the computer. Type it into the Amazon search window. I was using the wrong power cord for a while and it died and I got this one because it was the exact model number of the one that came with my laptop.

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.

I would return it if it is not even lighting up. Mine works well with the batteries. It sounds like something might be wrong with the unit. It has to light up to work. Good Luck!but

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.

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.

Are you sure it's not charging, or is there just no battery icon? Mine laptop lost the battery icon until I charged and used the battery 3 times, then the battery icon appeared. If it really isn't charging, I would send it back.

When I received mine last year around this time, the same thing happened; no power. My advice to you is to send the product back and get a refund of your money.

Dude, I've got the power cord pulled against the peripheral with black tape just so it will power up. Trust me, spend the extra $ and get something else. This thing sucks. I really wish I had.

That happened to me after a few months of use. I called wild game innovations and I explained to them that it wouldn't power on and they asked I send it in to them. Promptly after I sent it into them they sent me a brand new one. To this day the new one they sent me works perfectly!

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...
