My 3 youngest children got the Nextbook Ares 8 tablets for Christmas. Tonight, 1 of them had an issue where the screen went white during a video she was watching, then it went gray and vignetted. We just spent the past couple hours trying to figure it out, and I had a little girl crying her eyes out. Found your video here, did as you showed to do, and WALA she is back up and running!!! Thank you SO much for making this mama's 1 little one have a better New Years!!!!
my daughter says thank you and that you saved her from getting grounded...she came to me saying and showing me that her nextbook wouldn't turn on, i googled the problem and clicked on the link which brought me to your youtube channel. i watched your video then proceeded to do exactly what you did and it worked...much thanks from the both of us...
God bless ya, Bill... My wife's NextBook 10.1 had this problem. I found your video, and now it's working fine again!! Now, if we could just figure out what causes the problem in the first place and fix it, we could go back to taking advantage of using the Sleep function. By the way, it is possible to open the case without chewing up the plastic. It's a bit difficult to explain, but basically you use the back side of a pocket knife or chef's knife. Slide it into the gap between the top and bottom parts of the case, and slide it along the sides. The wedge shape pushes the sides apart enough to pop the clips open. Thank you, and keep up the good work!! Jon
Sweet baby Jesus!!!!, Your a F@#$ing life saver!!!!! I followed ever one of your steps down to the key, got my tablet working again and and was able to recover all my evidence, legal documents, and prop/exhibit photos seconds before my court case. I went through a metal detector and x-ray scanner when going through the security check at the court house, and after that i couldn't get it to turn on at all to save my life ( Almost broke down cried!....ALMOST.) Found your video using my phone literally 10 minutes before my case. WITH A BALL POINT PEN, I proceeded to take the back panel off, disconnected/reconnect the internal batter, put it all back together and "VIOLA!!!!!!" turned back on 1 minute before my case was called! I salute you Sir!!!! and by the way, i was found not guilty!:):)
Hey Bill. Great video. I was in the process of doing this but couldn't seem to get the cover off. Was basically just tearing the sides apart with my knife. I called the IT for my protection plan and he said that there sometimes is a buildup of static and we need to do a soft reboot. With the tablet not plugged into the charger, I held down the volume up (+) key and the power button at the same time for 30 seconds and it turned on. Everything works great. So for the people on here where the method you have doesn't work, this can work. If this doesn't, he said to do the same thing but with the charger in. Thanks for your help :D
spongebob211 Thanks for the extra info! I'm sure someone may use that. Glad to see positive contributions to the community. Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a great day!
I want to thank you for your video, because my ares 11 nextbook would not turn on. I was looking online and found your video. You would not believe how much you helped me. I have three grand kids and with my tablet not turning on, put us to having only two tablets for when they come over. Kids are not happy unless they have their own tablet. Now we have three again thanks to your video. You are a blessing.
Iv had this tablet for a long time it’s been about 5 years haven’t used it for a long time, never knew why it did that … this video was a life saver thank you
First, lemme convey my gratitude to you for taking the time create this. You did so with absolutely nothing else in mind other than the fact that you knew it would help others. Typically, there is almost always a hidden agenda behind the seemingly 'Kind' acts these days, that ultimately benefits the one pretending to be helping you.. This however, is clearly a selfless act that only a really, Really seriously cool ass, awesome, pimped out super dude of galactic Epicness, would take the time to do..lol Thank you for being you
Christian Romani That, Sir, is the best comment I have ever heard. Ever. I try to be myself and help others when I can. As far as my videos, the only thing not truly "me" about them is my mouth. I try to keep videos mostly clean, and if they aren't I clearly label it in the title. Never know when younger ears are in learning distance. Much appreciation for the comment, and have a wonderful day.
It fixed my wife's nextbook 8.1 like a charm. I used a razor blade out of a utility knife and a small electronic flat head screw driver to pop the back. Thank you
**The most effective video ive ever needed... Nice job on saying exactly what was needed without repeating yourself ....very successful results...thank you oh so much **
This actually worked for me!!! Many thanks, Bill. I have a Linx 1010b tablet and it was refusing to switch on. It would charge but do nothing else. After following these instructions, the tablet now switches on and works fine. Now the missus is smiling again as she uses it more than I. A happy woman = a happy man.
Dear Bill, Thanks a lot. I just bought a Nextbook yesterday and it worked but today it would not turn on. Thanks to you I did not have to contact the vendor and wait for the repair. Thanks a lot!
Hey Bill, We just installed an ADT home security system and wanted to have a way to view what the cameras were seeing. When I saw your RU-vid, I simply pushed the power button and fortunately our tablet came on. Thanks very much for your help. Jim and Pat
dear lord bless your soul! i have a three page paper due tomorrow and i thought i was gonna have to go buy a new computer! thank you so much for taking the time to make this!!!
But you're Nextbook charges correct? If you charge it a little red light comes on right? Cuz my tablet wants to come on when I hold the button but it's not charging the little red light doesn't come on. So I'm thinking it's just the charger??
I was a little skeptical at first, simply because I wasn't sure if I had another issue. Went through the steps. Used a thin kitchen knife to *safely* open the back cover (starting at a corner), once it popped, I used my credit card to open the rest pretty easily. Disconnected and reconnected the power and BOOM, it turned on. I immediately disabled sleep. I really hope this fixes the issues. *THANK YOU*
Thank you my brotha, you save me a head ache. I was less worried about scratching the edges than buying a new one. Someone on another RU-vid video says to try a credit card and you won't scratch the edges if you try it you should put the video up. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for making this video. I have a different model but once I opened it the insides were the same. In the past when this happened I would put it aside unplugged for a couple weeks and that would give the batteries to discharge on their own and then I would plug it back in for a few hrs and it would turn back on. But I couldnt wait that long this time so your video really came in handy. So for those of you who are scared of opening your case, unplug it set it aside for a couple weeks and then plug it back in for a couple hrs and try to restart it.
Great, it worked for my Walmart Nextbook NX700QC. Mine was not powering up, when plugging USB, RED led wouldn't come up, even after letting charging for 24 hours. After the fix, the battery was discharged, but now I can charge and power it up. Disconnect usb, I opened it with a credit card without damaging the edges. Unplug the battery, waited 10sec, plugged back, connected usb to check that was charging, disconnected usb, and put cover back starting with volume buttons side. Recommend to take a picture right after opening it for reference.
For people looking to find out how to remove the back panel, I posted a new video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yjfIvYJF_Ts.html
Just tried this with my Flexx 11a. Worked like a charm! I was all set to go buy a new laptop. Now I can save my money and hold onto this for awhile longer.
Oh thank you soooo much Bill...It Worked! I use my Nextbook for church and would be so lost without it. I was going to take it in for repairs but no need now. I subscribed and will always follow from now on. You are a lifesaver!
Thanks a ton, Mr Shelton!!! I missed out on seeing how far it would travel when thrown from a moving car, thanks to your video! It would've been the straw that broke the camel's back...considering it took nearly all the 15 days Walmart gave to return it to run at a stable pace...Microsoft auto-updates initially are much needed. ...ONE problem left to tackle: Plugged in, it doesn't always charge the battery and fooling with it may have loosened the jack...I downloaded "BatteryBar" and a battery icon in the taskbar shows blue when it charges and green when it is plugged in but not charging. Very helpful because until then I would leave it for hours only to find it drained instead. FYI, I'm an internet junkie, not a repair-video guy so feel free to post something on that problem as well. Thanks again!
You Sir have, by far, the best comment I've ever gotten on a video. I've noticed a charging issue with this tablet, and the previous 8-inch tablet also by Nextbook. This being a sub-$200 tablet and the previous being a sub-$100 tablet, I have come to the conclusion that they provide shotty chargers. No device should have a round plugin THAT small. It's just asking for trouble. Thanks for watching, and thanks again for the great comment! Have a great day!
Thank you! My mom's tablet did this and someone suggested a new battery, or wait until black Friday and get another one. This saved her time and money.
Mine is just like yours and same exact situation. I used a carpet razor and cut all away around it to it finally let me get a gap to proceed. Done exactly the same thing you did. Worked well. Thank you very much for taking time to show how to get into the nexbook. I was thinking if I could just get to the battery and unplug and kinda reset it.. Found your video. She's back good as new. 👍
Yes this fixed the Power up issues, changed the sleep options to Off, working greatunfortunately upon removing the back cover I cracked my screen in the bottom corner.it took me about 20 mins to apply the fix. great job Bill the info was correct and very helpful.
Awesome video. Thank you! I bought a Nextbook Ares 10A for my Mom and after 9 months of only using it to play Solitare, it quit working. Black screen and won't turn on. I followed your instructions and voila, it works!
tytyty so very much I am sick and on oxygen at home all the time and when my Nextbook would not come on today so I could play one of my games, which is one of only three things I can do really I was so depressed .. then I went on line found your you tube fix and it worked and I have a 11-1 ty so much..God Bless You.. ALSO EVERYONE THE SCREWDRIVER IN EYEGLASS KITS WOKS GREAT AND LEAVE A LOT LESS SCARRING...FYI...TYTYTY AGAIN
It worked for me. What was happening to mine was that the tape wasn't sticking very well anymore and the connector had wiggled sideways. I pressed it in place and untangled/straightened the wires. It has been working perfectly ever since. Thanks. :)
If you are looking how to disable the sleep function, I also make a video for that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P_dUYIcpdos.html
😙😙😙 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Had an assignment due for uni tonight and couldn't get my nextbook to switch on!! You saved my life!! Fingers crossed I pass!! 🤘🤘🤘
My Sister bought one of these Nextbook tablets, warned her to get a Samsung Tablet at a minimum... Needless to say, the stupid thing goes dead even when turned fully off and isn't in sleep mode. Worst tablets ever.
The company sent a replacement because the first one did not turn on. In less than 24 hours (something like 16) of using the replacement, it ceased to turn on. Since mine is under warranty, I will just send it back to the company instead of taking off the cover. I sure am glad that I don't need this thing.
This actually worked. My stupid tablet hasn't been on in 12 hours, I did exactly what you said and OMG, it came on. I'm studying for my final and all of my info is stored here. Your a life saver. Thank you!
Its good dudes like this guy, whom just wanna pass along a little bit of useful knowledge for the better of his fellow man. A Dying Breed in todays world unfortunately! Not quite sure why...... Anyhow, thnx Mr. Shelton for solving mine and 200,000 other mofo's concerns!
bill i have found a way to fix a nextbook. i just fixed mine right now and its working. all you have to do is disconect the lcd cord by the battery and the cord that you showed us in this video and reconnect and then hold down the power button and it should turn on mine did and im so excited!!!!!
dude you are a life saver. i was about to end up hitting someone at wal mart. i replaced 3 of them, for the same thing and now i found out what to do. thank you so much man
I know it was in 2015 when this was posted but I keep my nextbook as a backup for my laptop when things go wrong or home PC is down this thing is reliable maybe a little slow sometimes but it has never let me down well I'm in between laptop right now you saved me some more time so that I can a decent computer instead of buying a little cheapy. This saved my netbook. Thank you
Dude! Thanks a bunch ...I was ready to trash the tablet...I follow your instructions and for the first time in months my screen turns on..excellent job
It worked , thanks bill. Make sure you view his other video first before trying this. Take the back cover off and be very careful and patient when trying.
Thank you so much!!! My son was distraught! We have a Nextbook Ares 8a. Your fix totally worked! I was very hesitant during the removal of the back, but I just followed your instructions! Thank you for the time, energy, and knowledge that you chose to share with us!
The baby in the background kinda threw me off.. I have a new born on the way and i thought i was losing it... How ever this video is Highly accurate.. Fixed my problem in seconds ... You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. You have a great day and a Happy New Year from my family to yours.. Well done sir a thumbs up from me!
I didn't post that post. I think one of my kids did. I will never said to some one ""make that baby stop crying"""" and you watch what you saying. word F keep to you self please.
Omg! My sons tablrt hasnt worked for going on 3 years! I tried this today and its actually charging!!! Thank you so much. Working on the second one! Hopefully, ill have luck!!
dude you're a life saver! my son dropped ours last year an it never turned on (even charged) I would get that white screen that displayed next book but turned black ..after doing this it finally turned on.. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO
Thank man I had the tablet for 2 years and never turns on even if it was full changed and now I fixed it you are a life saver thanks man hope god give you something worth your help
Hi Bill, Not sure if anyone else will find this my comment, but I wanted to let you and others know that the battery reset also fixed my bios password not being recognized problem. Yesterday I set a bios password on my after installing a dualboot linux. I then connected a friends iPhone in windows to copy a video. The cable I had was flaky and ended up shorting out or something so long story short, next time I tried booting up my password didn't work. I figured I would have to clear the CMOS chip manually but figured hey let me just try this first, I have to take it apart either way....well it fixed it! NOTE: This did NOT clear the cmos settings, but it did fix the issue of it not recognizing my CORRECT password.
This worked!!! After 3 days without my tablet that I needed to work with, I finally realized that maybe someone on YT can show me how to get this thing started. THANKS!
OMG! I am not good when it comes to computer hardware or wiring and I was so afraid I would break it but I took my time and it really worked! Thank you so much and I really wish they would give people refunds because it's a stupid error on the manufacturer fault for making these tablets this way! I can't thank you enough again!👌😭💕💕💕💕
Thank you for your video. Now my tablet is working again. Instead of a knife, I opened the back using finger nails, the edge of a cc, small screwdrivers and small pliers to disconnect the plug. Thanks again
OH MY GOD!!! FINALLY! Your video has been so much help to me. I honestly thought it was going to be dead forever. I didnt realize how easy it is to pop the back off to get to the guts. Thank you Thank you sooooooo much! Youve been a big help!
I just did this on my Windows 10 "Lamina" tablet and it worked! Also changed the power saving features in hopes it wont get stuck like this again. Thanks man, God bless.
Dude, you are a rock star and a hero to all of the people. I hope they name something after you. Different model tablet, but the fix worked exactly the same. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Your video helped me. It worked! I am a small business owner, and all of my office work is on my tablet. I couldn't be more grateful to you!
Thank you soooo much for this fix on my Nextbook 10.1 not powering back on. Your instructions are very clear. My Nextbook is working now. Again thank you.
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I have a Nextbook Flexx 8.9 and this revived it!!!! I used the smallest kitchen knife I had in combination with a butter knife. Unfortunately, the area around the tablet-keyboard connectors were really stiff and I cracked both sides.. But I have my tablet back and I'm happy😊😊😊
Thanks for taking the time to make this how to video. It was an easy and quick fix for my Nextbook. Very glad I found it in my search to find out what was wrong.
Omg bro I hope u read this!!! I followed your directions on fixing NEXTBOOK tablet and it’s turning on rite now as I type this!!! Yes!!! Thank u so much. It fully loaded now....AWESOME!!! Ty ty ty ty
this video was very helpful!! Thank-you much. not only it turned on, but it made me the number 1 dad in the world. my daughter is sooo happy. Thanks again. :)
Wow... that actually worked... NextBook NXW10QC32G - thank you sir... Only difference was I used RUBBER GLOVES so I wouldn't allow the OIL on my hands to impact anything on the inside.... it works.
Man, I was lost and disturbed because my wife used my tablet last and it went dark, lol, thanks for this, I cracked my sd card but that's nothing compared to getting my tablet working again, thanks a million!
oh my God I love you,,,, thank you so much for your video on how to fix a Nextbook tablet that won't turn on !!!!very easy to understand very easy to see!!! and now I have my tablet back ,,,,Great video thank you
This is awesome. Worked for me!! My model is NX700QC and did exactly what he said and it worked. My issue was it was not turning on and when I was charging it the red light would not stay red like it supposed to. It kept blinking and did not appear to be charging. I later found out that it did accept a charge but it needed this reset. Good work!
Thank you so much. I had a low end Nextbook tablet that broke a few months after getting it, and it was sitting in my desk drawer for about 2 years. I dug it out and tried fixing it, with nothing working from hard resetting to full charge and such. Decided to look online for some hardware fixes, and this was my first one. It is now going to be my go to for devices that don't even let you hard reset. Amazing work
I almost did this but realized I had bought insurance on it so I went that way instead but if i didnt have coverage you betcha I would do this! Thanks for people like you who help others in this capacity it is greatly appreciated!
Thank U so much for showing me how to resolve the issue. Managed and now back on line again. Take care & have a great day. UR doing a great service. Now will review UR video and how to take care of deleting the sleep item that seems to cause the problem.
This worked for me with a completely different model of 2-in-1 device with Win10 embedded. The back lighting comes on, but no OS boots. Thank you for your video.
OMG THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH I CLICKED ON YOUR VIDEO HOPING THIS WOULD WORK ON MINE AFTER THE VIDEO WAS DONE I FOLLOWED THE STEPS TOOK OUT THE THING AND LEFTED IT OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND I PRESSED THE POWER BUTTON AND IT TURNED ON THANKS SOO MUCH I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP BUT NEVERMIND THANKS !!!! 😃😁
Just had this issue, and I'm telling you it saved me some heartache. I had pictures of my 2 year old on here that I didn't want to lose. Thank you so much for sharing this!
