My S1tablet has been working OK for two weeks but today will not start up even when connected to power?

My S1 tablet has been working fine but today will not start up. When connected to power the green light is on but the screen does not show. Any clues or advice?

2 options worth trying:

press and hold the power button for 10secs to force it to turn off. Wait a minute and power back on (I've had to try this 3/4 times in a row before it worked for me).

Other option is to use a pin or needle to hit the tiny reset button just below the volume buttons

Glad to hear it

Had the same problem and I tried to hold down the power and volume buttons at the same time for a while and suddenly it restarted. Should be kind of reset but I do not know if it is the right way.

But why does the tablet works fine for 2 weeks en then suddenly will not start up , because that is exactly the same thing that happened to me. Other owners having the same problem ?

I hope it does'nt occur to often .

when it did happen to me it was before I updated, so it may have been more of an android issue?

Hasn't happend since touch wood

Ed,

          I wait for long time, more than 30 minutes and the gold lines running yet.

try and get it to run fully out of power and then use a pin to press and hold the reset button for a count of 30. Then plug it in, let it charge for at least 15mins and try to turn it on.

I'll be surprised if that works as it sounds like the tablet is having trouble loading Android, so take it back and get it replaced is your most likely plan of attack.
