Chosen Solution

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.

You should connect it to ur pc….. give some time so that it can chrge….. then press the volume key for a while…….. ur tab will get connected to ur pc……… then try to go home page by clicking back button…….. you may get a screen to reset ur tab…… reset n let it shut down…. tab may not start even den…… do the same procedure again… n dis tine wen u press back button u will get the home screen….. ur all data may be lost…. but ur tab will start working

Turn off the “sleep” setting. Set it to “Never” Settings–> Device –> Display –> Sleep scroll up to “never” That worked for me!

Hi, I have a Lenovo A3500-HV and it’s stopped working. After several attempts to get it on again, there is only 1 try that makes it working. Just press the reset, power, volume up and volume down button all at once. Android reset menu will appear and choose to restart it.

I tried everything and nothing seemed to help, until I removed the memory card :-p

Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70. My battery was also drained after two months of no use and the screen would not show anything. Plugin in the original cable and pressing Power button did not work for me and neither recharging it for over an hour. Completely dead! The only procedure that worked for me was to open the tablet by unclipping the back cover and detaching the battery flat cable and reconnecting it back. After that I pluged in the power cord and it started up like a charm!

Hello all, I recently bought the Lenovo 7inch tab. I had the same problem of the Lenovo not turning on. I got a technician at my company have a look at it and he realised that most Lenovo tablets don’t charge from custom USB ports that you can find in the style of Multi USB hubs or computer/laptop ports. The solution: connect the lenovo directly to a single USB wall outlet. This worked for me. Initially, I thought it was a LCD issue or a motherboard problem but, all it was that it wasn’t being charged correctly. I was using a multi USB port to charge it and all it did was hold the power, not charge it further. Hope this helps :)

pug i up in the wall press the power button for 20 seconds take it out and repeat now it shoul turn on

go to the sd point press the 0 botton power on

Make sure you have the original charge cable… plug it up and hold the power button until it vibrates and comes on

Hold power button i for 60seconds, plug charger in wait about 6hours while keepong it on charge, take off charge hold power button in for, 60seconds or until it vibtates

I am struggling to get my tablet to turn on. I have had it for about 2 years leaving it untouched.

..so anyway and a few years later. Fixed my old tablet. Didn’t do well with the latest Android (random update). The Lenovo banner was flashing and vibrating. Got a penguin too.. ……. Required, 1 x Paper Clip An optimistic outlook. Unplug the nasty %$÷= from the power. Then press [power+up/down] same time as inserting the opened paper into its hole..all simultaneously. Boot started 👍
