I usually turn the power off before I go to sleep, but I didn't this time and I go to hit the power button to bring it out of sleep mode and it won't turn on, it has been sitting on the charging dock for a few weeks now (I have been using it as a deskclock a lot for now) - I have tried holding the power button, pressing the reset button (never holding the reset button), but nothing I have tried works. Any suggestions for solutions is appreciated.

Any word on Ice Cream Sandwich coming to this tablet? More games through Playstation?
 
Glad we could help. :) I usually do not power off at night.

I had mine do that too a couple days ago. nothing would work to get it out of sleep than all of a sudden it turns on after I try a little while later.
 
HELP!!

This happened to me 24 hours ago and I can get it to work!

I notice that this issue started after installing the free games from the PS Store.....

I can hear the wake-up click, but no screen.....I just finished tuning it up.

Any input would be great

I know im late, but this happen to me also. I remember seeing on a review, that if this happen u should hold the power button then press vol up. It work for me.

Wonderful, is nvr too late! You saved my day. Holding the power button then press vol up do work.
My tablet then restart!
 
Try turning off Wi-Fi before letting it go to sleep. It worked for me. Apparently some notification condition turns off display, but you can see the green notification blinking when connected to power. This did not happen before icecream 4.0.3.

Hi your the first one i tried worked fine many thanks
 
Thank the creator of light for this forum. I couldn't get my tablet started for 2 days and was starting to think it might be something to do with the major Android upgrade. Holding down the power button then pressing volume up got it started.
