It seems to me that when we got these new they had to charge up for a while before they would “boot” (work) at all. So it stands to reason that if one has a “flaky” battery it might do that. I think that’s what my 7” RCA did when it died. From the 10’ manual, it says,
“Do not wait for the battery to be fully depleted before charging again. Keep the battery charged as needed. If tablet has not been used for a long period of time, the battery might be in over discharge protection mode and may take longer to charge.”
So a flaky battery may put the tablet in the “over discharge protection mode”, meaning it is “cut off” & won’t work.
Gotta ask: where is everyone learning to spell “definitely” as “definately”? Here’s a help to remember: the root word is “finite”, not “finate”.
Good luck with your tablet!
