# Tablet Stuck on Boot Screen

## Quick Answer

Please note:  This guide is provided for informational purposes only. Any steps you choose to follow are at your own discretion and risk. If you're unsure, we recommend booking a professional diagnosis.

## Quick Checks

Try these fast checks first — they solve most cases.

1.  Force restart
    
    Hold Power + Volume Down for 15-20 seconds.
    
2.  Wait 30 minutes
    
    An update may still be installing.
    
3.  Charge the tablet
    
    Low battery during boot causes loops.
    
4.  Try safe mode
    
    Hold Volume Down while booting on Android.

## Self-Fix Instructions

Safe steps you can try at home.

1.  ### Recovery steps
