HP 10 Plus 2201 will not start up

[Cheese1]

My tablet was working fine one day and the next would not get out of the HP logo screen. I ensured it was charged, followed all the steps on the website (e.g., hard shut down, re start in safe mode and reboot which didn't work). I also restarted in safe mode and reset to factory settings and it still will not start.  The tablet is 3 years old.

Hi @Cheese1,

Thanks for engaging in HP support Forums! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips! I understand you are having issues with the tablet won't turn on anymore. Don't worry as I have a few suggestions which should help you resolve this issue.

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

Was there any update/reset interrupted recently?

Was the unit dropped by any chance?

In the meantime, I would suggest you could try these steps here:

Perform a Hard Reboot: A hard reboot can resolve many startup issues. Press and hold the power button for more than eight seconds. After the tablet fully shuts down, wait a few seconds, and then press the power button to turn on the tablet.

For more assistance, please follow this link: HP Tablets - Tablet Does Not Start (Android KitKat, Jelly Bean)

If the issue persists, I would suggest the only option would be to perform a factory reset on the tablet - HP Tablets - Performing a Factory Reset on Your Tablet (Android KitKat, Jelly Bean)

If you have followed the steps suggested and still having the issue, I would suggest you contact our HP phone support for available service options. If your product is out of warranty, please choose paid options to get the tech support number.

Thanks for your follow up. In response to your questions regarding any prior issues: No, the tablet was not dropped and No, there was not any interruption to any updates. I turned it off one night and went to turn it back on 3 days later and it would not get off of the HP logo screen.

Hard reboot has been done a few times.

Factory reset has been done.

I will call HP support. It is frustrating that the tablet is only 3 years old and is no longer functioning and I will have to pay to get assistance for it.

Thank you for your time.

BTW, it does no good to contact HP Support by phone. I waited for 4 hours on hold and then was disconnected. This meant I went to the end of the 'line' again. This is a joke! There should be some way to talk to someone or leave a message for a call back. I am very disappointed.
