You may simply be looking at a worn-out power button. iFixIt has a repair guide all about fixing this exact issue. Take a look-see at this HP Slate 7 4601 Front Screen Replacement repair guide for the how-to. Or, if it's an HP Slate 7 Plus, it may be a bit tougher to fix however, here's a post about a possibly similar issue: My tablet can't be turned on even after charged.

If those links do not help, please provide more detail about your particular power button issue. For instance...

  • Can you get it to work sometimes but not others?
  • When the screen turns on after rebooting the tablet, can you tell how much battery is left?
  • Does the power button seem loose and/or can you wiggle the button more-so than normal?

Good luck,

_rs
