Suddenly wont switch on?

[Belgina]

Hi,

I have had my Galaxy Tab2 since February last year and it has been pretty much in daily use. It has shown no sign of trouble and worked perfectly fine last night. I put it on charge in it's usual place last night, with the charger that came with it. This evening my daughter tried to switch it on and no response. It doesn't seem to do anything. Does anyone know how I could find out what's the matter with it. Is there a simple fix to try before taking it somewhere to try and fix it? TIA

Welcome to the forum Belgina. Have you tried holding the power button down for at least 30 seconds? If that doesn't work, you might try a trickle charge: plug it into a PC for several hours, making sure the PC doesn't sleep. Let us know if those help!
