Why won’t my device turn on?
My device will not turn on even though I hold down the power on button.
Is this a good question?

Your device’s battery might be dead. You may simply need to charge the device, however if your device has been plugged into a charger and is still not getting a charge, you may need to replace either the charger, or the battery, or both.

I have the same issue. Measured battery voltage and just sits around 3.2v. Ive notice the battery stats show it should be 3.75v. Does this mean the battery wont charge at all? Ive had it plugged in using various chargers and cables to no avail.
At one point toshiba logo appeared on screen before disappearing and then nothing.
Is this potentially a charge port issue? Or flat out battery.
@zarmstrong do you guys get credit for answering your own question? just another thing to note is that if a battery wont charge and tablet wont boot you can disconnect the battery for a few minutes and reconnect . This often brings joy

If battery life is not the problem, a soft reset may correct the “won’t turn on” issue. Hold the VOL- (volume down) button while pressing the power button. This will put the device into RECOVERY MODE. Sometimes just entering recovery mode and exiting is sufficient to correct your issue.
