A few days ago, my Onn tablet was not turning on. I was frustrated because I could no longer enjoy my favorite games and movies. However, I did not give up and searched for solutions on how I could turn it on.
Guess what? My tablet turned on after trying a few things.
So, if you are facing the same problem, don’t worry you can fix this by trying the simple troubleshooting steps that worked for me.
Let’s take a deeper look at every possible solution.
11 Ways to Fix Onn Tablet not Turning On
These are the solutions that can fix your Onn tablet. So, try them one by one and try to turn your tablet on.
1. Reset Onn Tablet
First, you should try to turn on your tablet by resetting it because resetting will remove minor software glitches.
And if your tablet was not turning on because of glitches, it will turn on after reset.
Follow the below steps to hard reset your Onn tablet.
- Make sure your tablet is powered off. (Which is already)
- Press and hold the Volume down and Power buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.
- Release buttons when the logo appears on the screen.
- Your tablet has been reset.
If your device doesn’t turn on after resetting, you should reset it two to three times because sometimes a single reset doesn’t fix the problem.
Here is another method to reset the Onn tablet. You can also try this.
2. Remove Battery
The power cycle is the second thing you should try when your tablet is not turning on.
You can do that by removing your tablet battery and pressing the power button for a few seconds.
Don’t plug in your tablet while doing this process; after that, put the battery back in the tablet and try to turn it on by pressing the power button.
However, if your tablet is not turning on, you need to charge it for 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Boot in Safe Mode
You should boot your Onn tablet in the safe mode because in this mode tablet will turn on without bugs, and you can easily try different things to fix your device.
You can do that by pressing the power button for a few seconds; then, power options will appear; tap the reboot in safe mode.
4. Battery Problems
The battery is only the source of power in your device, so if your device is not turning on, it means something is wrong with its battery. Maybe the battery is damaged; that’s why your tablet is not holding a charge and is not turning on.
Mainly battery gets damaged if you expose it to moisture or heat, such as in a sauna and when you store it in extremely hot or cold temperatures. So, if your tablet has been stored for months or you used it in the sauna, its battery is damaged.
So, you need to replace its battery. The battery replacement usually costs 25 to 50 dollars.
If your specific Onn tablet has a removable battery, it’s easy to change. However, if it has a non-removable battery, I recommend you go to a certified technician.
5. Apps Problem
If you have recently installed unknown apps on your device, maybe they are causing issues on your tablet. Therefore you should delete them.
You might be wondering if the tablet is not turning on, how I can delete them.
But don’t overthink; you can do that by booting your tablet in safe mode and by pressing the app’s icon.
6. Physical Damaged
If your Onn tablet is still not turning on after replacing the battery.
Then you should check for physical damage, maybe it has been dropped on the hard floor, and its circuit board or charging port is broken, due to which electricity (current) is not passing to the battery.
In this case, you need to consult a technician who can easily fix your tablet hardware problems.
7. Check Charging Cable
Now your Onn tablet battery is replaced, and you also fixed minor glitches, but it is still not turning on.
Then you need to check its charging cable; maybe it is faulty, due to which your device is not getting charged and, as a result, not turning on. Typically when you bend or twist the charging cable more than often, its wire breaks from inside, and electricity doesn’t pass through.
So, test the cable by using another charging cable with the wall adapter; if your device begins charging with the new cable, it means your primary cable is faulty, and you need to replace it.
8. Check Charging Port
If your tablet charging port is damaged, wet, or filled with dirt, your tablet won’t charge. Because the electricity won’t pass through to the battery, and as a resulting tablet won’t boot up.
So, you should check if the port is loose and then go to a technician; if the charging port is wet, then dry it by blowing or if the port is filled with dirt, then clean it with a soft cotton cloth.
After fixing these problems with the charging port, charge your tablet for a few hours and try to turn it on.
9. Check the Adapter
The wall adapter is another important thing involved in the chagrin process. Maybe it is damaged due to which tablet not charging and, as a result, not booting up.
So, you should test the adapter by using another one with the current charging cable.
If the tablet is charging with the new adapter, you need to replace it.
10. Contact Customer Support
Suppose none of the above solutions fix your Onn tablet. Then you need to contact customer support.
Because they can tell you more troubleshooting steps according to your specific Onn tablet model; also, they will guide you about whether you can
11. Return Onn Tablet
If your Onn tablet is under warranty, I would suggest you should immediately return it or send it for repair to the Onn store.
But the best solution is to replace the tablet because this issue can again happen in your device after repair.
