The Lenovo tablet does not turn on: possible reasons and recommendations for solving the problem

A tablet is a gadget that in a short time has become an invariable part of modern human life. Compact and convenient, it allows you not only to stay in touch, but also to pass the time by reading books or playing games. But, like any electronic device, tablets begin to freeze over time.

And if you can still put up with a long response time, then when the Lenovo tablet does not turn on, users immediately run to service centers. However, you shouldn’t immediately give the gadget into the hands of specialists and spend fabulous sums on diagnostics. In some cases, repairs can be carried out at home.

Why won't my Lenovo tablet turn on?

There are dozens of reasons why the Lenovo tablet does not turn on. Even the most expensive and flagship models of gadgets can begin to freeze in the first months of operation. Sometimes it is quite difficult to determine the cause of a malfunction, but not impossible.

The tablet may not turn on due to mechanical damage. Often the last time the gadget worked was before it fell to the ground or into the water. Or, after installing software updates, the tablet stopped showing signs of life. It often happens that the Lenovo tablet freezes and does not turn on beyond the Android icon. And what should you do if it stops charging or its back panel is swollen? Advice and recommendations from experts will help you provide first aid to your gadget.

What to do if your phone freezes when you turn it on - first aid

If your Android is stuck on the startup screen (on the “Android” icon or on the brand name icon) and does not respond to any manipulations, you need to reset the factory settings to bring it back to life. In this case, the shutdown button will also not work, so remove the battery and put it back in place.

The first method is to take out the memory card on your smartphone

Be sure to remove the memory card from the device. Almost half of all startup glitches are caused by this small memory chip. How to do this correctly, see the instructions for the device; there is no universal method.

Resetting to factory settings - a way to solve the problem

Now you need to get to the factory settings menu of your smartphone. Place your fingers on the power button and the volume up button. Now hold them down at the same time until the menu appears. When the splash screen lights up, do not react or release the buttons, wait until the menu opens. There is a small nuance here: the menu opens differently on different smartphones.

With NTS, you first need to press the volume down edge and, without releasing it, briefly press the power button. After three “Androids” are displayed on the screen, you need to release the “down” key. When the menu appears, use the same “up” and “down” buttons to scroll through and select the desired action.
For “ZTE” the menu opens like this: hold down the power key and the “down” key. You need to carefully monitor the screensaver so as not to miss the settings menu. When “Android” lights up, don’t let go of anything. But when on the same screensaver the page seems to turn to the next one and there will be the same “Android” screensaver, you need to immediately release the buttons and the factory settings menu will appear. In ZTE, it looks like checkered pieces in which commands are written, and they respond to touches - that is, you don’t need to scroll through anything with the volume buttons.

Mechanical problem

The first step after the owner realizes that the Lenovo tablet will not turn on is to determine the type of problem. The tablet may not work due to hardware or mechanical damage. If it was previously in the wrong hands, then it is necessary to carefully inspect it for chips and damage. Often, even the smallest scratch on the tablet body can cause a breakdown. In cases where chips or cracks were found on the case, experts do not recommend that gadget owners personally open the device and fix the damage. In more than ninety percent of cases, such “repairs” cause even greater malfunctions.

However, even if there are cracks and chips, you should not immediately take the device to a service center. First, you should make sure that the Lenovo tablet does not turn on precisely because of mechanical faults. You can verify this by conducting a series of tests on the hardware and software of the gadget.

It’s important to know how to prevent such problems from occurring.

If you want to be prepared for such problems and get out of a difficult situation without losses, we advise you to do the following:

Protecting your device from physical damage. This advice is no longer news, but it will never be superfluous[/su_list].
Enable data synchronization on all accounts you trust: first of all, on Google. Enable uploading backup photos to Google+ or Facebook. By default, photos are saved in hidden albums that only you can see. If something goes wrong with your device, you can restore all your data when you restore it (or buy a new one).
Don't clutter up your tablet's memory, try to install only those applications and games that you need, and, if possible, install them on the memory card. When choosing a memory card, look for a card that is at least class 10, or better yet, UHS-I. Only these cards will give you decent speed; we strongly do not recommend saving on small things and buying a class 4 card.
Back up your apps regularly, preferably to a memory card or even to the cloud. We recommend the Titanium Backup application, which can save not only the applications themselves, but also their settings and data, and also send copies to the Dropbox server. We also advise you to purchase a licensed copy of this application: it will pay for itself in case of problems.

Tablet electronics failure

Each gadget, including Lenovo tablets, is a small box containing the electronic components of the device. It can fail for many non-mechanical reasons: a power surge, high humidity, or even a manufacturing defect. Most of these defects are covered under warranty.

But sometimes even problems with electronics can be solved at home. Many people ask the question: if the Lenovo tablet does not turn on, what to do? For example, when did the gadget fall into the water? If you do not react quickly, the electronic “stuffing” of the tablet will not be restored.

When the device gets into water, you must:

Quickly place the tablet on a soft cloth.
If possible, remove the battery.
Dry the gadget with a hairdryer.

If the tablet has a non-removable battery, then you need to place the gadget in a bag of rice for several hours. After this, check the functionality of Lenovo. If the tablet still does not start, you will have to contact a service center.

Possible reasons

There are two main reasons why the tablet stopped turning on:

Hardware problem;
Software problem.

In the first case, the device may not boot due to some mechanical damage. It is very easy to determine this - as a rule, such damage is noticeable visually. You might not even notice how you hit the gadget against something, even if only slightly. But in the end it doesn't work because of this.

It also cannot be ruled out that some internal part of the tablet, which is extremely important for turning it on, has failed. This could be, for example, a battery. Such a breakdown will not be catastrophic, because replacing a failed part is easy and requires a minimum of time.

Software problems are a little more difficult to diagnose. If the tablet does not turn on because of them, then the problem is some kind of virus or a malfunction of the software platform. You can determine what exactly is preventing the tablet from starting up experimentally, but practice shows that it is better to entrust this matter to a specialist.

Hardware failures

If the tablet does not turn on due to a hardware failure, then the first thing you need to do is hold down the power buttons for 10-15 seconds. If nothing happens and the power indicator is not lit, then remove the battery from the device, and after a while, insert it back and try to turn on the tablet again. Perhaps some contact has simply come loose, and by doing these manipulations you will solve the problem.

It is likely that the tablet will not boot due to a low battery. Many users sound the alarm when they see a tablet that is not working, but simply forget that the battery is completely drained. Of course, in this case, the gadget will not boot until you put the tablet on charge.

If a tablet computer that is put on charge still does not turn on, then most likely the problem is either in the charger, or in the connector of the tablet to which it is connected, or simply the battery has failed. It's also worth checking if the power button works.

Often the tablet does not turn on due to problems with the screen matrix. You are unlikely to be able to do anything to correct the situation at home, so immediately take it to a service center. I can say the same about cases when the system does not start after the gadget falls or hits something.

If you bought a mobile device at a licensed point of sale, and a problem with its operation began within a year after purchase, then you won’t even have to spend money on repairs, since this situation is covered by the seller’s warranty.

Software failures

Diagnosing software failures is more difficult, but in most cases it is not difficult to fix. To understand that the problem is in the software platform, look to see if the LED indicator lights up at startup. If it is on, but the download does not proceed, then the problem is most likely a software glitch.

Another obvious sign of a software malfunction is a tablet computer that starts up but constantly freezes. In this case, it is recommended to put the device into safe mode and not delay a visit to the service center.

There are many options as to which part of the software has failed. But it’s more important for us to know how to turn on the tablet, and not what exactly happened to it. There is one sure way to fix the situation by performing a flashing or a full reset to factory settings. We recommend starting with a reset, also called Hard Reset.

You can do this even if the tablet is turned off. To perform a Hard Reset, do the following:

Press and hold the power button and the volume down key at the same time.
We are waiting for the Android logo to appear on the screen.
We get into Recovery mode and select Wipe Data using the volume keys.
The system will ask if you are sure of your actions. We agree to completely delete all settings and data from the tablet.
When the procedure is completed, click on Reboot System to reboot the tablet.

This is a rather radical method, because all user data will be deleted from the mobile device as a result. But if there is no choice left, you will have to use it. We recommend that you place all your tablet data on the cloud on the Internet, then the unexpected need to reset all data will not be a problem for you.

Battery, charger and contacts

A dead battery or faulty charger is one of the most common reasons why a Lenovo tablet won’t turn on. What to do in such cases?

If the tablet does not respond to the connected charger or being turned on, then experts recommend first checking the presence of voltage in the network. After this, you need to make sure that the charger is working: just connect it to another gadget. If it works, then you will next have to remove the back cover of the tablet and check the battery.

Most often the problem lies in the battery. After a certain service life, it fails and swells. In this case, it is necessary to replace it with an identical one. If the battery looks good, then it also needs to be removed and checked using a universal charger, or “frog”. If it starts charging, the problem lies in the contacts of the gadget. You need to clean them yourself or contact a service center for help.

It is a little more difficult to solve the problem when the Lenovo Yoga Tablet does not turn on, but it was equipped with a non-removable battery. In this case, manually removing the battery is difficult and also violates the warranty terms. It is wisest to seek help from specialists. Also, the tablet may not turn on due to a faulty power button. Cleaning the contacts will help solve the problem.

What to do if your smartphone only boots up to the standard screensaver

As a result of hardware failure or OS malfunction, any Android smartphone may stop responding to the power button. Another common problem is when the phone does not turn on beyond the screensaver. At the same time, you can see on the screen the logo of the manufacturer or the standard “green robot” of the Android system, but then nothing happens.

Why won't my phone turn on?

If the gadget is stuck on the screensaver, there are 4 main reasons for the defect:

Glitches of the Android operating system.
Critical hardware failure as a result of water getting into the case, overheating of the board, or a strong shock. In this case, Android may start loading and finally fail.
Incorrect actions when installing custom firmware, resulting in failure of the operating system.
The memory card is incompatible with the device.
Shorted SIM card.
Insufficient free memory, slowing down the startup process. In this case, the phone boots, but very slowly: within 3–5 minutes.

Phone stuck on startup screen

What you definitely shouldn’t do is disassemble the case yourself in an attempt to determine the cause of the breakdown. Without the appropriate skills, you can not only lose the warranty, but also completely “kill” the device. If you accidentally flood or drop your gadget, contact an official service center or a reliable technician for help.

We take out the SIM card

It works in almost 100% of cases, first we try to remove the SIM card and boot without it.

Software malfunctions

The most common cause of freezing is when Android does not load beyond the logo. To fix the problem, try entering Recovery Mode:

For Samsung Galaxy with the Bixby button - hold down the power switch, volume up and Bixby at the same time. When Samsung appears on the screen, release the power.
For other Samsung gadgets, press the volume up and down buttons, as well as the lock button, then wait for the download icon to appear.
LG - hold down the volume down and power control, release after turning on the screen.
HTC - instructions are identical to LG devices.

Once you get to the Recovery menu, which is navigated using hardware buttons, you can take the following actions:

Clear the cache by selecting Wipe Cache Partition using the volume rocker and the lock button.
Perform a full reset to factory settings, deleting all data. The Wipe Data/Factory reset option is responsible for this action. Please note that this action will delete all your data and return the device to its factory state.
After completing the necessary settings, select Reboot System Now to attempt a reboot.

Reflash the device

If the above steps did not help, all that remains is to flash the device manually using a computer and special programs. For example, for Samsung it is the Odin utility. For each device, the instructions and firmware themselves are different; the necessary information specifically for your phone can be found on the forums.

How to determine if the battery is good

A common cause of problems is battery failure. It is quite easy to determine the defect: if, when connected to the power adapter, a charging icon appears on the screen, increasing the charge level over time, everything is good. But if, when you disconnect the charger, the gadget completely stops responding to button presses or refuses to charge, there is probably a problem with the battery or power connector. In this case, the only correct solution is to contact the manufacturer’s service center. For example, for owners of the Samsung Galaxy line, warranty service is carried out at Samsung centers.

Software "bug"

Lenovo tablets run on the Android operating system. Owners of such devices have access to an extensive catalog of applications: games, themes, organizers, training programs, and so on. But sometimes it is applications that cause the tablet to freeze or not respond to pressing the power button.

You can solve the problem by simply uninstalling the application. If it was downloaded and installed on a memory card, then it must be removed and formatted. If the program is installed in the tablet’s memory, then only resetting to factory settings will help. Information on how to reset the parameters to standard without turning on the tablet should be found on the official websites of the manufacturers.

Flashing

If during the installation of the firmware the screen goes out and the tablet switches off (shows no signs of life and does not respond to button presses), but the battery is not discharged and is full of energy, we will prepare for the worst.

When installing a pirated OS, you could have made a fatal mistake, which led to the complete erasure of the previous system and the incorrect functioning of the new one. The accessory itself is fine and the hardware functions, but without the necessary program - it simply does not understand what to do when you press the start button. Correcting such an oversight is also quite simple.

After complete discharge, connect the device to the PC and wait until it is somehow recognized by the system. The computer will not want to perceive the device correctly, because it does not have a digital signature. But if he is at least somehow recognized, that will already be enough.

Download the firmware reinstallation application for Android and the latest OS version from the official website. Select the system for your specific device if you don’t want the screen to go dark again. Wait a couple of minutes to half an hour for the firmware to install, then start the device.

Faulty touch screen

A faulty touchscreen, or touch screen, is one of the rarest reasons why Lenovo tablets do not turn on. As a rule, in such cases the device responds to the power button, but the owner can no longer see the result of the work.

The touch screen itself fails quite rarely. To do this, it is necessary to inflict strong mechanical damage. This problem cannot be solved at home. Only specialists from the service center can replace the matrix on the tablet.

Problems with the operating system

If the tablet does not turn on or the screen suddenly turns off during operation, you should think about problems with the operating system. First, try holding down the power button for 15–20 seconds. Then release it and press again for 2-5 seconds. Did not work? In this case, read the manual to find a hole on the case that allows you to make a Reset.

If there are no instructions, then just look for a small hole on the device that is clearly not a speaker or microphone. The Reset button is specially recessed into the case to prevent accidental rebooting. To press it, you will need a paper clip or a thin stick. Insert it into the hole until it clicks slightly. This measure should help in case of a software failure.

Sleep mode

There are situations when the Lenovo Yoga tablet does not turn on after several minutes of inactivity. The gadget does not respond to touching the screen, pressing the power button and other actions. Lenovo tablets often go into Sleep Mode after several minutes of inactivity. Solving the problem is quite simple. Just connect the tablet to the charger. After a few seconds, the screen will automatically light up, allowing the user to revive it.

You can prevent such “freezes” by changing the screen settings. In the “Display” menu, you need to change the time after which the tablet goes into “Sleep Mode”.

Restoring functionality

If your Android tablet or smartphone encounters errors when loading, this means that you should clear its memory and settings. Without this, the operating system will not be able to boot correctly.

Let's consider two ways to restore the functionality of the gadget. Method one:

When the device is stuck on the screensaver, you need to hold down the power key and hold it for at least 10 seconds until the device turns off.
When the screen turns off completely, you need to release the power button.
Now hold down the volume rocker (volume up key). While holding it, press the power button.
A menu should appear where we select the “Settings” item using the volume buttons and select it with the power button.
Click on format the system (“Wipe data/factory reset”).
Now select “Reset Android”, then the Android device will reboot.

After this, problems with freezing on the logo and turning on should not occur. It should be remembered that such a reset will completely delete all data (except system data) from the device. There is no way to save them. Because of this, it is recommended to always copy important information, regularly synchronize your phone contacts with your computer, and back up the product.

The second method has the same result, but is done a little differently:

We turn off the device as described in the previous option.
We press both buttons loudly and wait.
Release the buttons when the context menu appears.
Select the item “Clean boot”.
The settings will be reset and the gadget will reboot automatically.

If these methods do not solve the problem, then the product, in the best case, will require flashing, and in the worst case, repair of hardware problems.

SIM card

There are many reasons why the Lenovo Tab tablet does not turn on. And one of them is a SIM card. If all of the above methods for resuscitating the gadget did not work, then before moving on to serious measures like resetting to factory settings, you need to check the SIM card.

Its loose installation may be the reason why the tablet will not turn on. Dealing with the problem is quite simple: just remove the back cover of the case or pull out a special sector of the SIM card. Next, you need to remove the card and reinsert it. If after this the tablet does not turn on, then you should move on to the next step.

Android phone does not boot beyond the logo/splash screen (turns on but not completely) - what to do

Now let’s figure out why your Android phone doesn’t load beyond the logo (it doesn’t turn on after the manufacturer’s or robot’s splash screen). Further in the text: first about the reasons and then a deciphering of what to do in this or that case.

This article is suitable for all brands that produce phones on Android 10/9/8/7: Samsung, HTC, Lenovo, LG, Sony, ZTE, Huawei, Meizu, Fly, Alcatel, Xiaomi, Nokia and others. We are not responsible for your actions.

Attention! You can ask your question to a specialist at the end of the article.

If we divide all the reasons why your Android phone hangs on the logo screensaver and does not load further, then this will be

errors in the software (you can fix it yourself);
problems with hardware (only in the service center).

Causes of failure and why it turns on but does not boot

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If Android does not load on your phone or tablet when you turn it on, or your Android smartphone starts but does not go beyond the logo splash screen, then the reasons for this may be the following:

Errors when flashing the device. These include installing an inappropriate or damaged assembly, out-of-order firmware, power failure, and other factors.
Lack of memory. The system may not start or may boot very slowly due to low memory. The solution may be to optimize applications and remove unnecessary data.
Incompatible with memory card. If your smartphone turns on but does not boot completely, try removing the memory card and trying to restart the system.
Hardware problems that occur after impact, fall, liquid ingress, or exposure to extreme temperatures.
Damage to the power button or its cable, which “shorts” the phone and it goes into a cyclic reboot, loading up to the logo and then in a circle. We encounter this from time to time and can only be diagnosed at a service center.

Read How to check Android for errors

Before you try to troubleshoot Android, you need to understand why the system won't boot.

Restoring functionality

If the phone shows that the charge is coming, then the causes of the problem must be looked for in the operation of Launcher Android. If your device vibrates or its screen flickers, there is a possibility that the screen is damaged.

If you determine that the problem is software in nature (for example, the problem arose after a firmware update), then a simple reboot will not help. You need to reset the system via Recovery Mode or reflash the device. Let's see what to do:

While holding down the power button and the volume down key (there may be other combinations, look for your model), go to Recovery Mode. If the phone does not enter Recovery Mode, it means that the problems are at a deeper level, so you need to contact a service center.
Perform a factory reset by selecting “Wipe data factory”.
Select "Reset" to reboot the device.

Resetting the settings will delete the user's personal data and settings. If this method does not help, perform a flashing. To do this, upload the file with the appropriate firmware to the root of the memory card, insert the drive into the phone and select “Install zip from sdcard” in Recovery Mode.

Increase

You can deal with a software failure yourself, but how can you fix hardware problems? The most reasonable option is to contact a service center for diagnostics and repairs.

Even if the problem can be solved without financial investment, by simply flashing it, users have an important question - how to save the data stored in the phone’s memory. There are no problems with the memory card: you just need to remove it from the device. But how to save data from the internal drive? For example, pull out contacts.

Increase

If you backed up your system or at least turned on Google synchronization, then getting your contacts will be very easy. All you have to do is go to the Contacts app on Google to see the full list of synced contacts. If you want to transfer them to another device, all you need to do is add a Google account to it.

Increase

To make it as easy to get other information, you need to periodically backup Android. Then if the phone reboots and resetting does not help, you can safely reflash it without worrying about the safety of the information.

You can, for example, install custom Recovery and copy data to a memory card using the “Backup” function.

Factory reset

If the Lenovo tablet turns off/on regardless of the owner’s commands, and all the methods described above had no effect, then the correct operation of the device can be restored by resetting it to factory settings.

It is worth noting that a factory reset will entail data formatting: applications, SMS, contacts, etc. will be erased from the phone’s memory.

In order to carry out this operation, you need to go to the “Options/Settings” menu. Next, scroll to the “Backup and reset” option. The last item in the menu will be “Reset with restoration of factory settings”. After clicking, the system will notify the user that the process will take some time and all personal files will be erased.

Extracting data from a broken Android

If the error is solved without financial investment, by simply flashing it, then the user may have an important question - how exactly to save the information contained in the device’s memory. There will be no problems with the memory card: you just need to remove it from the gadget.

How then to extract information from the internal storage? For example, pull out the contacts.

If you have created a system backup or at least enabled Google synchronization, then getting contacts will be quite easy. The user only needs to go to the Contacts app on Google's website to access the full list of synced contacts. If you need to transfer them to another gadget, then it will be enough to add a Google account to it.

To restore other information so quickly, you need to periodically create an Android backup. Therefore, when the smartphone does not boot, and resetting does not solve the problem, you can safely reflash it without thinking about the safety of information. For example, you can download custom Recovery and use the “Backup” function to copy data to a memory card.
