I can't turn the damn thing on
It's a new machine - I charged it up - it initially showed charging but then seemed to crash (screen had odd characters etc zooming up it). I left it charging for 3 hours and then tried the on button.
At first it did nothing - after a number of reboots (taking battery out) it made a welcome sound (short tune) but the screen would not come on. I seem to get the cursor button light up blue for a moment when I first hold the button then after about 4 seconds I get the sound. If I press the button later I get a sort of beep sound. The screen has never shown anything - no maemo etc.
Is it a dud? should I press something else. I've had the battery out for a minute at a time before retrying. I've tried with power lead attached and without, with SD card in and out. Nothing.
Oh, and I work with computers for a living, too.....
You did the right thing, hope you have lots of fun with your tablet.
