Dead Dell Venue 8 Pro after a week and 1/2. No response at all

where did you send it? mine also was damaged and i can't find anyone in CS that knows where to send.

Bad windows update. It should power on eventually and when it does. Do a windows refresh and re update but only the important updates it auto selects nothing else. Then go to the my dell app and click on drivers and support and install the Intel platform driver update that was released on 12/2/13

Crazy, I only paid 200.00 for it. Thanks for the info.

Call dell by this number 1 800 289 3355. Its their support line. Call them and give em your service tag and request a repair. Do you have warranty because the repair cost is 280 out of pocket if you don't.

Hello TW99.  I joined the forum just to say thank you!  I just purchased the Dell Venue 8 pro and after a few days my screen went black.  I used your instructions and did just as you said.  All is well!  Thank you for sharing your expertise with others!  I hope this post will give relief and confidence to otherwise shattered Dell Venue 8 purchasers that everything will be okay. 

The volume down and power button and patience finally worked. 

Mine had crashed after downloading a huge picture collection. Just up and died. 

Thanks

Thanks for the tip on down+power. Worked to boot screen, updated bios. All good now
