Won't turn on

I recently got a Lenovo thinkpad tablet 1 from a friend but no matter what charger I try I can't get it to turn on! I am using a 5v 2a charger so I know that's not the problem but no matter what all I can do is hold down the power button for a bit to get it to buzz but that's it. No amount of using the reset button has resulted in anything.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

In some models you can enter the recovery mode by holding the volume up button and the power button, and once the Lenovo logo appears let go of the power button but keep holding the volume button until it enters the recovery mode. Then you can navigate with the volume buttons and select with the power button.

@david227156 try something like this

Power system checkout
To verify a symptom, do the following:

  • 1. Turn off the tablet.
  • 2. Remove the internal battery
  • 3. Attach the tablet to a ThinkPad Tablet Dock (hereafter referred to as the dock) and then connect the dock to an electrical outlet using the 65 W ac power adapter shipped with the dock.
  • 4. Check whether power is supplied when you turn on the tablet.
  • 5. Turn off the tablet.
  • 6. Disconnect the ac power adapter and detach the dock. Then install the internal battery.
  • 7. Check whether the internal battery supplies power when you turn on the tablet.

Use the ThinkPad Tablet Hardware Maintenance Manual to work on it. Open it up and let's see what you got going on there. Adding images to an existing question
