This device of mine, that I just got used, has been charging for almost 10 hours, but when I press the power button, It doesnt boot. Is this normal?

This thing is a total waste of money. I threw mine out and get an ipad mini.

My wife still uses hers after a couple of years. It doesn't get as much use as my ipad 1 but I don't really care for the ipad anyone.

You have to hold the power button down for a few seconds for it to boot. Try it at least twice. I remember once I held the button down but it didn't boot. I let go and tried it again. And it worked.
1608288
No it should boot, especially if it is still plugged in. Is there any indication that it is charging? There is a small red light next to the plug and on switch that comes on when charging. There is no consistent period to hold the switch on, it might be a second, might be ten seconds. Hold the power button in until it comes on, or at least a minute or two.

Yes. You have to hold the button down for a few seconds (long press) until it begins to boot. This feature is common on all tablets (and other devices) to keep them from accidentally turning on. Incidentally, I've had one of these 7022s for 4 years now. I rooted it (easily done) added some apps (I have google play) and use it almost daily. MUCH MUCH BETTER than spending 3X as much for Apple crap!

It takes about an hour also to charge your device, be sure to press the white buttum to activate the charge!If it doesn't work after an hour, you should suspect you may got a defect adapter, replace a new adapter and see the result!

The battery is severely discharged. You have only about 2 hours or less left of the charge. Connect the Power Supply cable to the Charger/Controller's Power Input Jack.

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

Getting the same issue on mine. Red light never goes off while charging (overnight), and then won't ever turn on using the power button. I've used this model of a friend's, so I know how they work. But these are simply broken, as near as I can tell.

My guess is that it's a bad bit of hardware (battery that isn't holding a charge) or the power button is malfunctioning. You have to hold down the "play" button for a long time to get it to turn on and I think that must put a lot of pressure on the button. I'd contact the manufacturer and tell them what the problem is and ask for a replacement unit.

Need more info - like was it plugged in when the screen went dark?.. Have you tried plugging it in to be recharged to see if the green battery lights up? (May have to push the power on button momentarily while charger is plugged in).. If "yes" does it hold a charge and have you tried to turn it on while plugged in?.. If it's a battery or a tablet issue it need a tech - it could possibly be a charger issue.. Contact the factory, who knows they may stand behind their product and repair/replace - depending on many factors..

Well I ordered new one & tried without charging it but still it was working, & I charged after that & was working perfect.If you tried for 18 hrs, than check your charger. May something wrong with it.

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.

I would call the manufacturer. It sounds like something is wrong with the unit. Mine worked immediately with no issues, and I did NOT charge it before use....just plugged it right in and it worked. Sorry!!

Return it, I had the same problem with this tablet....turned it on once, set it up, let the battery run down, charged it overnight and then when I went to turn it back on it wouldn't turn on. I did notice that the little light that indicates charging next to the screen would turn green when I turned it on and if I were to turn it off it would turn red. This indicated to me that it was charging but something was wrong with the screen or a connection somewhere. I know it's frustrating but I would just return it and get a refund and purchase a different one! Good luck!!

Mine won't charge anymore either. I think the product may be defective. How are you charging your device?
2248573
its partially charged, an u should fully charge it anyway, u dont know how long its been in storage, before u get it, but charge it anyways

Mine turned on right away. Try to give it 2 hours of charging. Otherwise you've got a defected one.

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.

Mine arrived charged and has operated without incident since I installed it. Sounds like you may have a charger issue.
