yes, make sure the on/off switch works, i returned it after a week since the power on button had issues, it takes like 5-8 presses on the button to turn it back on after turning off.

Mine still charged but wouldn't power up. Had to send it in for replacement. Make sure to back up all your pictures on a regular basis! Luckily, I did that.

On mine you have to hold the on button for approximately 3-5 seconds to turn it off. The lights go out a few seconds after turning it on regardless of whether it is on or not. AND if it is on when plugged in to charge, it will not charge no matter how long you leave it plugged in. This is the most annoying feature of the device.

Same Here Patricia. We just got ours last week and we let it sit for hours then turned it on and nothing!! It won't get cold, won't turn on and if it does have a light...it's not working either. I'm sending it back. Good luck with yours.

Try holding the power button down. It should power on after several seconds. This is a feature that prevents the unit from unnecessarily draining the battery by accidentally powering on during transport.

Me to, I thought it was just me. I just unplug it and then plug it back in. I repeat this process until it works, usually I have to plug and unplug a couple of times. Annoying. Dan

Best to turn it off then charge it....don't let battery drain totally. I often use it plugged in when it's fully charged.

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

The power button on mine died. I have to put it in the sony cradle for it to light up and then I can access it. BUT try the reset first after charging.

I am having the same problem, even brought a new battery and it still does not come on. Warranty is up, so what can I do.

I had the same problem, and returned mine. It started off barely charging and then would not even power on anymore. There is obviously a defect.

I had this same issue with mine last night. I finally had to Hold the power button down for 10-15 seconds for it to turn off. I also plugged it into the charger to attempt to turn it off. It finally did turn off after an hour of searching here on web. However, it will not move past the android guy in the middle of screen when turned back on. I am returning it today.

I have found that the power button on this tablet is somewhat sensitive. I often have to push that button multiple times to get the tablet to power up (this is the only drawback of this tablet I have found). I would try to turn on the tablet by holding the power button in longer than normal. And keep trying.If it won't turn on after doing that, then I would contact Digital Reins. They have great customer service.Good luck!

It will be hard to power on. Please check your plug and connect well or not.This will be very sensitive. I hope you can power on!!

Did everyone try charging the unit while it is powered off?It seems to make a different to me. I bought three(3) and so far all battery seemed to be decently averaged out around 2.5 hours or so (mainly net surfing and video conferencing) after few months of usage. Power on while charging seems like charges don't hold too well even it shows 100% charged.Try it out...it may make some different.

It does not appear to turn on when power is applied ... which is why I will be returning it. It requires pressing and holding the power button for ~3 seconds.
