will not boot, despite charging all night
Hipstreet Vanguard 2 Tablet, using Android Lollipop refuses to boot up.
Have tried the opened paperclip method, to get a factory boot, but nothin, does not even light up.
This unit has been to Ontario, Canada, _twice_ to the repair centre. Two or three days operation, after each 10 to 20 day absence, does not make for a useful device, imho.
Edited, by adding remarks:
Used 2 different, known-good power supplies, with no response.
Tested the Vanguard 2's power supply on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, and the Galaxy happily charged on it!
Tested the Vanguard 2 on my acer Aspire Win 10 Laptop, which did not 'see' it.
The Aspire Win 10 Laptop 'sees' my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 just fine.
:
I plan on opening up the Vanguard 2's case, this weekend, to see if the Power Switch is faulty. (I am a retired Seismic Surveyor, who opened up a Wang 600 to swap out a faulty built-in printer, as my first venture into non-survey-instrument surgery!). I have a couple different bench-top multi-clamp devices, plus a 6" diameter magnifying-glass c/w built-in lamp.
Is this a good question?

Hi,
Have you tried the standard Android method for a hard reset? First press Volume down, then whilst holding it press and hold the Power button. Hold both buttons until the Android system recovery screen appears. (If nothing happens try the same again, this time with the Volume Up button instead). When the recovery screen appears release both buttons
Select wipe data / factory reset with the volume keys and tap the Power button to activate it. Select Yes – erase all user data with the volume buttons and tap Power.
Hopefully your tab will be reset and will reboot

Thanks for the practical details. I also own three early model Proscan Tablets, which are being recalcitrant!
