Nextbook 3 won’t turn on

Remove the back cover and place a tiny piece of aluminum foil between the black plastic power button and the white silicone power button. This worked for me!

:smileywink:

Turned off the Nextbook last night and it will not turn back on, tried to use the USB line to the computer and charge it up properly. Still will not turn on and followed all the suggestions everyone mentioned. Ready to return the Nextbook today. It just started out of the blue.

Well, I went to blow some steam concerning the Nextbook 7 Premium I purchased on 11/29/2011 and there was no way to do it. So I figured I would put it here since I am having the same issue. I have connected it to my computer using the USB cable, plugged it in using the wall plug and reset it in the back and NOTHING. I have called NextBook and they are suppose to be sending me another one ONCE I get the registration done.

Terribly hurt for my Grandchild that the nextbook came and we tried it out today and it won’t even come on. I wish I had known this before and should have tried it then. Have to send it back and I am through with any nextbook products after seeing all these comments. I called HSN thinking they could send me something right away and told to look on line, did and all was sold out. So think before you buy one!

Hate it, hate it, hate it!!!!!

I hate my Nextbook3, it will NOT power-up.
I liked it the first 4 months and then the “no power” problem started. The stupid thing will NOT charge.

If you can not get it to work call Nextbook support they will swap it out for another one and pay shipping for you.

By the way, how do I cancle the HSN protection pan I bought with this thing?

Call HSN and ask. If they don’t help call E Fun.

I returned mine also. When I went to leave a review, the item was no longer available.
It was difficult to operate and the app store was a joke. I was excited to have an Android tablet. Thinking I would be able to download Android Apps. No so. Nextbook didnt not buy a “market place” license from Android. I could not download the Nook or Kindle App like I was hoping. I do not like the Borders Books that come preloaded but was stuck with it.
For a little more money, I would rather purchase a mini laptop that is user friendly!

thanks:d/!!! it worked.. i plugged my nextbook to computer.. it powered up and ect ect thanks troz i hope it cont to work

I recieved my nextbook 4 days ago and it not once turned on. Not satisfied with this product so I am definitely returning this. Too bad it didn’t work, looks neat. I order from HSN all the time, sadly this has been my first bad experience, not too happy!!!

Okay, I had the same problem with the nextbook 3 not turning on like it was supposed to after it was plugged into the charger. I could ‘wake it up’ by plugging the usb into it and into the computer, but it would never turn on directly off the charger. However, with some experimentation, I discovered that if you plug it into the charger while it is still on, allow it to begin charging, then hold the power button in until a screen pops up to power down then power down, it will restart right off the charger in the morning without having to plug it into the usb connected to the computer. it will not charge completely, only 90% this way, but if you need it to charge all the way, power it off THEN plug it into the charger, but you will have to wake it up by plugging it into the usb. this seems like a small glitch, and i am glad i figured it out because i love this thing. once it is ‘woken up’ it will power on and off just fine until plugged into the charger for any length of time, but just do as above and it will power up on its own every time directly off the charger without the usb connection. Also, it will take as big a memory card as you want to put in it. I have a 16g micro sd with an adaptor and it takes that just fine, and shows all the memory available. i hope this helps someone else!

Mine is going back also, but not for any specific reason, although I have had a difficult time turning it on lately. I just don’t want to be stuck with something that will most likely cause problems down the road.

I ended up returning the Nextbook. It cost me 15.00 to send back to California and insure for 200.00. It is close to the K***** in price and the cheapest i*ad but no where near their quality. So I will buy locally from now on. I get caught up in the hype – the promos and the demos. They make it look so easy and it is when the technology is good. I think HSN is pitching too much junk lately. I do like the company though; they have always treated me well. C’est la vie, je pense!

I’m angry now. I went to leave a review – and the product isn’t showing up on the site at all. HSN KNOWS this is a piece of junk. I’ve been trying to call NEXTBOOK for the past week – all circuits are busy. I just spoke to an HSN person, and she was NOT HELPFUL. I purchased the android tablet from the other shopping network – and that think is 100 cheaper and working great. I am angry that HSN won’t just recall these items. I tried to give them a chance and wait for the new adapter – but the woman on the phone today told me there were no notes on the NEXTBOOK having problems. That’s it for me, I’m going to mail it back and will not buy anymore electronics from HSN. I wasn’t angry before, just frustrated – but this is ridiculous.
