• Did this happen after a power outage or surge?ans; i was charging the device through the base as i attempted to reset it, soon as it denied to reset, i dettached the screen from its base and it immidiately went off like the lighs . since then the screen tab wont switch on untill attached to the base, or untill connected to the charger straight to the screen tablet charging port.
• It looks like a hardware issue with the Slatebookans; idk, but it could be, because everything else is running smoothly.
