How to turn on Pinetab?
#1
Hello,

this has been discussed before and the solution was to do it like described here.

It is said:

Quote:If your PineTab is in unknown state or doesn't want to start: Press power button for 7-8s. It makes a sound and you know it's totally off. 3 seconds after, power button again for 2-3s and it will start to boot.


That doesn't work for me. I also don't hear anything when holding the power button for 7-8 seconds or more.
When I try to turn it on, I see the keyboard's lights turn on, so something happens. But the Pinetab won't boot.

I tried all combinations of pressing very short (1s), short(2-3s) or long (7-8s or more) but mostly nothing happens.
Sometimes it helps to plug in the charging cable. But even for that the Pinetab must be in a specific condition.

Sometimes it takes up to 20 minutes until I manage to turn the Pinetab on.

Are there any new understandings  on how to turn that thing on?
Since it works after it was possible to turn it on, I don't think it's really broken.

Any ideas on how to turn it on the right way?
