power button not working

[blazote]

My tablet worked fine until the power button got inverted and from then on I had to find something to turn it on with like a mechanical pencil but recently it just would turn on at all but it would still show a charging screen when I plugged it in to charge it

As I understand the power button is not working,

I'd like to thank you for the detailed description of your concern,

 as you have ensured I don't have to ask any more questions, that said, this is hardware failure as the button is physically damaged and hence there's nothing I can do but recommend that you contact HP to get the tablet either repaired or replaced under the manufacturer's warranty:
