My NuVision TM1088 will not start up and has no lights.
The battery might need to be charged or the battery could be broken. Try turning on the device while it is plugged in. If it turns on then you might need a new battery.
Hi @ Michele Ash, What method have you tried to charge the battery or turn on the tablet? Using the DC charger with the 2.5mm barrel type plug or via the tablet’s micro USB port with a compatible phone charger or even connecting it to a PC. If you are not getting any indication of charging or being able to start the tablet using either method, power port or USB port then there is a problem with the systemboard in the tablet. If you do get a charging indication when using the micro USB port, allow the tablet to charge for about an hour before attempting to turn it on. If it works when charging via the USB port it may mean the the charger with the barrel plug may be faulty and the battery has depleted because of this or that the power socket in the tablet may be faulty or loose from the systemboard.
Press the power button and the volume down button for ten seconds. This tablet can be frustrating but it is one of the lowest priced versions on the market. Think “lowest bidder”. It does what I bought it for - monitoring temperatures for my outdoor grill. During the times the built in wifi decides not to connect, I have a usb wifi adapter that fill in.
