The tablet turns off immediately after turning it on. Hard reset to factory settings

Unfortunately, even the most modern and reliable equipment can fail, but some breakdowns can be fixed yourself, rather than spending money on paying for the services of a specialist. Therefore, let's figure out what to do if it does not turn on, and what factors can cause such “glitches”.

How to start the tablet if it does not turn on?

The first thing to note is that such a problem can be caused by several reasons, for example, mechanical damage, or failure of electronics, or even malfunction of the charger. But, since it is unlikely that you will be able to determine the cause of the breakdown by yourself “by eye,” let’s still concentrate on what can be done, and not how to find the cause.

So, first inspect the equipment for mechanical damage, it’s no secret that tablets, phones and other gadgets can fail only because they fell and received such an “injury”; we will rule it out first. If you find a crack on the case or on the screen, you will have to contact a specialist; you will not be able to fix the damage yourself.

If there is no visible damage, then try charging the equipment for 10-15 minutes, then press the power button. If the tablet is charging, but does not turn on or boot, try pressing the volume up button at the same time as the power button. By the way, it is not at all necessary that in this case the tablet itself is broken; perhaps the issue is a breakdown of the charger. If the problem is that the tablet is dead and won't turn on, try charging it using USB cable, so you can understand what exactly is not working, the tablet itself or the charger.

If you have performed this operation several times, but it did not help, or the device does not even charge, you will have to contact service.

Now let's discuss what can be done if the equipment refuses to work after installing updates or flashing the firmware.

After flashing the firmware, the tablet does not turn on - fixing the situation

So, if the problem occurred after installing the updates, and before that everything was fine, then try to fix the situation yourself first. To do this, use the Reset button; to do this, carefully inspect the body of the model, since different tablets it is located differently, or find technical instructions to your device, it will definitely show where it will be located.

Next, remove the SIM card and card from the tablet, if installed, and then press the Reset button. The Reset button will help the user return to factory settings. Please note that on some models of equipment this key is so small that you may need to use a paper clip or something like a hairpin to press it.

What should I do if the tablet turns on and turns off immediately?

This problem is also not uncommon, and many users encounter it quite often. There are only two ways to deal with it on your own. The first thing you can try is to return to factory settings by pressing the same Reset button. If after this operation nothing in the situation changes, you should try reflashing the tablet, this is the second method of solving the problem. Just keep in mind that it may not lead to a positive result.

In the event that these two methods do not help correct the situation, you will have to seek help from service center, since you will no longer be able to fix the problem on your own.

As with any other hardware problem, there are several main categories of reasons that can cause problems: hardware, software, and viruses.

It can be quite difficult to determine “by eye” which category your problems fall into; you can only assume that the tablet is turning off due to certain problems.

Only specialists can make an accurate conclusion and they will be able to fix these problems. Below we will look at the most common reasons that can cause your device to shut down.

Disabling the tablet due to problems with the tablet itself

In this category, the most common reason why a tablet turns off is poor performance of the device's battery. The fact is that if the assembly is not of sufficient quality or there are manufacturing defects, the battery may not fit tightly, as a result of which the circuit opens and the device turns off due to lack of energy.

Battery problems can also arise from dropping the tablet. This type devices generally do not withstand falls even from a small height, since their “filling” is quite fragile, it is never possible to say with certainty which part caused the malfunction.

Another common hardware problem is overheating. This is especially true for iPad owners, since Apple tablets turn off even when heated by sunlight and turn off automatically.

There can be many reasons for overheating, ranging from external factors(sunlight, heating devices, etc.) and ending with internal ones, for example, excessive load on the processor. In such cases, it is recommended to simply wait until the device cools down. It is also recommended to regularly clean your tablet from dust.

Tablet shutdown due to software glitch

Another broad category of reasons why a tablet turns off are various software errors. At the same time, many will remember that they should not install software from unverified sources, as well as programs that may conflict with each other.

However, in some situations, users may not install anything at all on their tablet computer and still face the problem of its unauthorized shutdown. Here the problem may lie precisely in the original software that was installed on it before it was sold.

Yes, some tablets Galaxy Tab“suffer” from incorrect determination of the device’s position in space. Therefore, even if you just specially pick it up or throw it onto a soft surface from a height of 10 centimeters, it will turn off.

This problem is resolved using complete cleaning old firmware and installing a new one operating system. The same applies to cases when the tablet turns off when 3G is turned on; this can happen either due to improper operation of the module or due to software errors.

Thus, the best solution for any software errors will reset the settings to factory settings, and, if there is no positive effect, completely change the tablet’s firmware.

The tablet turns off due to viruses

Using tablet computer To access the Internet, it is recommended to regularly check it for viruses. In some cases, even with antivirus software installed, you can “pick up” viruses, which will lead to periodic shutdown devices.

Therefore, it is necessary to periodically carry out additional checks using various antivirus programs, for example Dr. Web.

Let's consider the option when the tablet turns on and off by itself. Actually, you have a small choice, only 3 options. The first is to run to the store and return it under warranty. But this is the lot of the weak, and we will try to fix everything ourselves.

Hard reset to factory settings

Since the tablet usually turns off quite quickly, a person does not have time to do anything on it. There is not even time to go into the settings and reset the settings.

In order to carry out such a reset, the tablet must be turned off, but of course charged. The whole process comes down to sequential or simultaneous pressing of the hardware power and volume control buttons (decrease, increase, or even in the middle). You must understand that the algorithm of actions may differ in each tablet model, so search on the Internet exactly how to do it on your tablet. Hard Reset. As a result, you should get to a menu in which you can navigate using the volume keys, and select an item by briefly pressing the power key. You need to get to the “Wipe data/factory reset” item, and select it, and then the “Reboot system now” item to reboot the device. The data on the tablet will be lost, but most likely it will be restored to normal life.

Usually, such manipulations help, but not always, so if it doesn’t work, read the next way to solve the problem - that’s for sure.

Reflashing the device

It should be done as a last resort - if resetting the settings did not help, or there is no way to do it (in some Chinese tablets it is not possible to get into Recovery menu mode). As I said earlier, I can’t do a hard reset on my tablet, so if something happens, only flashing it helps.

I highly recommend looking for the firmware for your device on the official websites of the manufacturer, as well as on the 4pda forum. There you can also find instructions on how to flash your device. You must understand that no one will look for the firmware and instructions for you, but if your tablet is not from yesterday’s release, there will probably be people who have already flashed it and shared the information with others. You can also familiarize yourself with tablet firmware.

So, what to do if the tablet is buggy?

Not so long ago, owning a tablet was a kind of luxury, but now that the world has seen a lot budget models, they became available to the mass consumer. To modern man Sometimes it's hard to imagine your life without electronic devices.

Electronics usually work well, bringing benefit to the owner, but from time to time unexpected problems arise that need to be addressed urgently. Unfortunately, equipment is not insured against breakdowns, regardless of cost or age.

Let's look at the most common problems that owners of tablet computers have.

The tablet turns on but does not boot

Most likely, the problem is that what happened software glitch– something is wrong with the device’s hardware. The easiest way is to restart your computer. To do this, press the power button and hold it for several minutes; if nothing happens, find RESET button, and press it. On different models It's found in a variety of places, but is typically a recessed, thin button that can be pressed using a paperclip or pin.

This algorithm will suit you if you are working with . In most cases, these simple steps will return your tablet to normal operation.

Another way to get your tablet back to work is to reset it to factory settings. To do this you need:

• turn off the device and remove cards (memory, SIM card) from it;
• simultaneously hold down the power and volume buttons for a few seconds;
• In the menu, using the volume keys, select settings, then format system.

This method is called “Hard reset”, and, according to users, it helps in 90% of cases. If these actions did not help, and you did not drop or bathe your tablet, then it is best to immediately take it to a service center rather than try to further fix the problem yourself.

The tablet turns on only when charging

There may be several reasons for this problem.

First of all, you might suspect that it's all about the charger. If you just bought new charger, then perhaps it lacks power. So your tablet turns on but cannot charge.

Another possible variant- software failure. Try to do it because the whole issue may be in the firmware.

And the last probable assumption is that it’s all about the battery. In this case, of course, it is advisable for you to go to a service center where they will replace it. It is much easier to disassemble the tablet than to assemble it, so if you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to hand it over to a specialist.

The tablet turns on and turns off immediately

If this happens to your computer, then the problem is again either with the hardware or with software. First, inspect the gadget for mechanical damage to the case. A fall could cause the computer to operate unevenly.

In addition to the body itself, pay attention to Charger and battery. If possible, test them with other devices.

If everything else works, the problem is within the system - at home, try restarting the computer and resetting all settings.

Often tablets start to fail, as it seems to us, for no reason. Usually the problems are very typical and can be solved by carefully studying similar situations on the Internet, or less often by taking the product to a service center. Most likely, even after a minor breakdown, your gadget will last for a long time.

Unfortunately for many tablet owners, a situation often arises when the beloved device does not want to turn on - it spontaneously turns off after a short attempt to boot. At the same time, you can try to correct this situation on your own, since the only alternative to this is going to the store and handing over the tablet for repair under warranty. So, what can you do with your own hands?

Resetting the tablet to factory settings (hard reset)

Most often, the time between loading the tablet and its random shutdown is limited and a person is not able to perform additional manipulations with it during these moments. Therefore, to get into factory menu You must first charge the tablet. After this, when turning on, you need to hold down a certain combination keys (usually the volume up or down button together with the power button or all at once). Please note that specific steps may vary slightly depending on the different devices depending on the model and manufacturer.

In any case, the operation, called Hard Reset, is launched from the factory menu, where you need to find a special menu item. Selecting functions is done with the power button, and moving through items is done with the volume buttons. After the device executes the command, you need to select " Reboot system now", which will trigger a reboot. User settings and data on the built-in flash drive will be lost, but there is a very high chance of getting a normally working tablet.
If this does not help, you can proceed to the next step

Flashing the tablet

Such actions must be performed extremely carefully and only when other methods have not had the desired effect. Flashing also helps in cases where it is simply impossible to get into the factory menu due to the features of the device.
Firmware for specific model It’s best to search on specialized forums, like 4pda, or on the official websites of the manufacturer. On the forums, in addition to the firmware itself, you can find step by step guide on its installation. Please take into account that no one else will search for the firmware except you, but if the tablet came out a long time ago, then there is a high probability that other people have flashed the device before. And, as they say, God himself commanded that such information be shared on the Internet.
