HP TouchPad: Touchpad will not power on.

Sat, 21 Nov 2020 14:25:56 -0700

We bought a Touchpad at one of the firesales online; thus no warranty. Had it 3 weeks and it appeared to be stuck on the last page viewed (on a slant). We could not exit or power off, until we simultaneously pressed the volume up and power button at the same time. Now it will not power on. Have tried numerous cords and nothing. Help

HP TouchPad: Battery Icon with question mark (?)

Mon, 23 Mar 2020 11:37:08 -0700

My HP touchpad is out of warranty. When I try to power it on it shows a battery icon with question mark in it. When it is connected to a charger the light flashes on the center button. I have tried all solutions posted on the web, with different button combinations, leaving it on charge for more than a day, using different cables, trying to leave it connected to a computer, etc. Everything brings back the battery icon with question mark and cannot do anything more.

Connecting to a computer with USB, makes the center button lights to flash, but cannot access the file system thru USB.

I thought changing the battery, but not sure if that will fix the issue.

Is there a way to reset to factory defaults?

Please let me know if there is anyway to fix this.

I recently purchased a used touchpad. Hooked up to wifi, worked fine. Wanted to erase apps and info from previous owner. When it was done it took me directly to setup, asking me language and country. It recognized my wifi and I entered my password but it will not connect. Tried different wifi with same results. What now?

The bottom 1/2" or so is very unresponsive. It takes multiple taps to get a reaction. The rest of the screen appears to operate properly. What's wrong? Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

HP TouchPad: Is my HP Touchpad Demo bricked or not?

Fri, 02 Jan 2015 22:51:32 -0700

I was using webOS doctor on a demo. In the process @ 12% it hung and finally after an hour I stopped the process and restarted with no success. Unplugged it from the computer. Left it on the charger overnight. Retried to get unit to come on with all of the button combinations. Several people have told me that unless it was a hardware issue you can't brick it in the process of doctoring. Can you tell me what I should do now?

Thanks

Steve
