You press the power button but the tablet does not turn on.
Possible Underlying Causes
The battery may have no charge. Plug the charger into the tablet and try to power it on. If the tablet does not power on right away, leave it plugged in for a few minutes before trying to power it on again. Note: Be sure the charging cable is properly inserted into the tablet and power source. If still it does not power on, exhaust the rest of these troubleshooting guides before deciding to replace the battery following these instructions:HP Slate 7 Extreme 4400US Battery Replacement.
If after 30 minutes charging the tablet still does not turn on, the battery might be defective and need to be replaced. See the HP Slate 7 Extreme 4400US Battery Replacement for instructions on how to replace the battery.
The charging cable might be defective. Find a different or new micro-USB charger, and use that cable to charge the tablet. Be sure it is properly inserted into the tablet and power source. Note: The micro-USB charging cable for the tablet supplies 2000 mA and a generic micro-USB charging cable supplies 500 – 800 mA. Be sure the cable used will be able to supply enough power to the tablet.
The outlet in the wall might not be getting power, so to exhaust all possibilities try charging the tablet using a different wall outlet. If you know your charging cable is not defective, and the wall outlet is getting power, the charging port of the tablet probably is the issue; follow these instructions: HP Slate 7 Extreme 4400US Charging port and Audio Jack Circuit Board Replacement.
When using the device, it overheats and becomes sluggish and/or shuts down.
Be sure to have proper airflow to the device. Refrain from using the tablet under blankets or leaving it running under something (clothes, blankets, etc).
Too many applications might be running in the background, taking up processing power and Random Access Memory (RAM) causing the tablet to run inefficiently. Doing so runs the risk of overheating, so be sure to close out applications completely when you are done using them.
The device runs slow and sluggish when in use.
A lack of available disk space will cause performance issues when using the tablet. Be sure to delete unused applications and documents from the tablet by going to the memory settings, a category under device settings.
When a device is not powered off for quite some time, performance issues start to arise. The quickest way to improve a devices’ speed is by turning it off. Doing so wipes the devices’ Random Access Memory (RAM) freeing up much needed memory space for running applications.
Getting a security app or program that will check the system for viruses, and be able to kill or fix the said issues.

Try to unlock the device. Once you have failed to unlock it several times, you will be given the option to unlock it via your Google Account. Select the option, and an email will be sent to the email address you have registered your Google Account with.

The device will not charge when plugged into a power source.
Make sure the charging cable is fully inserted into the charging port of the tablet. Next, make sure the charging cable is fully inserted into a power supply. The battery icon on the screen will show a blinking lightning bolt when charging.
The charging cable supplied with the tablet may be faulty or have become damaged with time, so you will need to get a new cable. Be sure the new cable is properly inserted into the tablet and power source. Note: The micro-USB charging cable for the tablet supplies 2000 mA, while a generic micro-USB charging cable supplies 500-800 mA. Be sure to get a charging cable that will supply the correct amount of power to the tablet.
If you have a charging cable that is known to work, and the tablet still will not charge, the
charging port for the tablet may be defective. To replace the charging port, follow the HP Slate 7 Extreme 4400US Charging port and Audio Jack Circuit Board Replacement for instructions on how to replace the port.
The tablet stays on while the charging cable connected, but turns off as soon as the
cable is removed. Follow HP Slate 7 Extreme 4400US Battery Replacement to remove the old battery and install the new battery.
