Troubleshooting

Tablet won't turn on or charge.

Ensure the charging cable and adapter are securely connected to the tablet and a working power outlet. Try a different charger or outlet. If the device is completely drained, it might take a few minutes for the charging indicator to appear.

Apps are running slow or freezing.

Close unnecessary background apps. Go to `Settings` > `Apps & Notifications` > `See all apps`, select the problematic app, and choose `Force Stop`. Clear the app's cache via `Storage & cache` for improved performance. If issues persist, restart the tablet.

Wi-Fi connection issues.

Toggle Wi-Fi off and on from the quick settings or `Settings` > `Wi-Fi`. Restart your Wi-Fi router. Forget the network (`Settings` > `Wi-Fi`, tap network name, `Forget`) and reconnect.

Storage is full, cannot download new apps.

Check your storage usage in `Settings` > `Storage`. Delete unnecessary files, photos, or apps. Consider moving media files to a compatible microSD card to free up internal storage.

Alexa is not responding.

Ensure your tablet is connected to Wi-Fi. Check if Alexa is enabled in `Settings` > `Alexa`. Try restarting the tablet. Speak clearly and ensure you're within audible range of the microphone.
