• Problem: When I turn on the tablet, nothing is displayed on the screen and the tablet does not beep
while starting up.
Note: If you are not sure whether you heard any beeps, turn off the tablet by pressing and holding the
power button for four seconds or more. Turn it on and listen again.

electrical outlet.

is low, increase it by pressing Home.

2. If you still see only the cursor on the screen, do the following:
