Dell Streak 7 won't turn on
I have a Dell Streak 7, and the screen won't turn on, nor will the charge light come on. The 3 side buttons on the right side of the tablet stay on. I tried troubleshooting but nothing is working.....

Thank you. That worked. Too bad this was not mentioned in the booklet or even under troubleshooting tips online.

Ditto, I received this tablet for Christmas and tonight it shut down and wont power on. My husband is on phone waiting on a Dell Rep & has been waiting for quite sometime. I went to this site and read everyones responses. Will try & re-set pin, hope it works for me. Do other tablets made by different companies do the same? Hubby just reset pin & is now working, Thank You all. Note: Tablet didn't power off & not power back on until after I receive a notification Text from a TextPlus. Once I opened up and read this notification stating I can send Text Messages and asigning me a phone number, tablet then shut off.

Many THX! I just purchased a refurb a week ago and already forgot about the reset "hole". Then I dropped the Streak-7 trying to adjust it into a car mount......doh The red light and the 3 touch buttons stayed on and nothing was working to power it on or off. I think I won't forget now......:emotion-11:

Make sure you have it fully charged; if that is the case and still nothing, it sounds DOA and you should return for replacement
