Tablet won't turn on

[Katelyn112590]

I just bought a MID tablet on ebay and received it yesterday. We were of course very excited, put the thing on the charger and let it charge right off. Then we played with it for a while, took a few pictures, set the button-pushy passcode thing... like to unlock the screen? Anyway, it worked great. Today, I used it a little before supper, then powered it down and set it on my desk. After dinner, I came back and it would not turn on. I thought maybe it was dead, so I put it on the charger for a few hours. I came back and hit the power button. The little green light came on, but no dancing android. This has been going on for the last few hours. It's charged, green light is on, no screen. Can anyone help me? I want to know if i'm missing something stupid or if i should send it back before my 3 day return time is up. If anyone could give me some insight before tomorrow night? Thanks! Katelyn

turn it on and let the battery completely run out (so that little green light shouldnt be on any more) then plug in it and charge it for awhile unplug it and see if it turns on if not then you should return it

Any luck? Mine just started doing it, too. It hangs after the Android graphic (I'm on 2.2) and has a nice whistling noise to accompany it.

I tried to falsh rom and mine started doing it... Any help?

It has red led when the charger is attached and green if power is in and the charger is off...

Send back before it's too late, I sent back two of these and they got them and have been bulls%&ting me for two months for trying to get them to refund or replace! Mine went haywire just like yours also. I sent back 3rd day, their online warranty say full refund 1st ten days, They lie!

If you dont know by now, DO NOT BUY COBY TABLETS! Ive had this tablet for a little over a month and hands down its been nothing but problems since day one. I can go thru a list of problems but now its simply dead, as described in previous posts.

Ive had 5 tablets, both windows, android and apple and i dont care what anyone says, ipad is the best tablet. unless you simply have to have windows on your tablet, like i do for work, then get an ipad.

i just brought a tablet off amazon and it just arrived to my house today. the only thing i did was install a universal android apk. but it didnt root my device. then i held the power button and vol+ and tried to go to the root screen but it just kept blanking out. i left it alone for about 15 minutes and it never started back up. when it is plugged up into the wall the red light shows but it doesnt show a sign of powering on at all. i held the button for 5 minutes but nothing. tried all of the power and vol+, power and menu, power and home, and power and vol-. keep in mind i just bought it and it just arrived at my house. i played with it for about 30 mins then it just quit on me.

The Coby tablets seem to have a common no power on bug. My sons mid8120 does it all the time, push the reset button in and hold it for like 5 seconds and it should turn on.

have any of you tried to use the reset button? We had this issue about 3 weeks after purchase and reset started it right back up. I found some other comments on this problem on google as well as recommendation for reset.
