During usage, tablets may encounter issues preventing them from booting up. Don't worry too much, everything has its reasons. With patience and proper troubleshooting, the device will operate normally. Here are common problems tablets often face, so you can prepare for unfortunate situations.
Insufficient memory on the tablet
Sometimes your tablet may fail to restart. Despite tablets now having much better configurations than before, issues like insufficient RAM or CPU memory still occur occasionally.
For tablets to function properly, apps must always start from the chip, then proceed through the CPU and RAM. When too many apps are running in the background, your tablet may freeze and fail to restart.
If your tablet is frozen for too long and unresponsive, simply press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds to restart the device.
Continuous touchscreen malfunction on your tablet
Touchscreen malfunctions on tablets can occur due to various reasons. The most common is using non-standard charging cables and chargers. If you use cables or chargers that are not in line with the manufacturer's standards, the battery charging process may be slow, resulting in erratic touchscreen behavior or frequent restarts.
In this case, the best thing to do is leave the device alone for about 30 minutes and avoid using it while charging. Additionally, invest in a charger and cable that meet the manufacturer's standards.
Software issue
Software issues are also among the causes of your tablet freezing or failing to restart. When encountering this issue, the device may display the message 'Unfortunately, Force close has stopped' when using various applications.
To resolve this situation, simply quickly press and hold the power button. Once prompted, press OK and quickly select Reset to restart your device.
Tablet malfunction due to broken hardware keys
For Android tablets with damaged hardware keys that prevent restart, the quickest and simplest solution is to download the Fast Reboot app from Google Play. This app allows for quick device restarts.
In the case of using an iPad with malfunctioning hardware keys and needing a restart, navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility > Bold Text. Here, select a different font and press Continue. Your device will prompt a restart, and you only need to confirm.
Stuck at startup logo
If your tablet encounters a software issue and is stuck at the startup logo, the best approach is to plug it in and continuously hold for approximately 30 minutes to an hour to successfully restart. If the device still fails, consider reputable warranty service centers.
Above are the common reasons why a tablet fails to boot that anyone may encounter. In such cases, stay calm and investigate each cause to find the appropriate solution. Only when you've exhausted all options should you consider taking the device to a service center for repair.
