1) Does it have to be turned on to charge? 2) Does it charge in sleep mode? 3) How long does this tablet take to charge? Thanks!

It will automatically come on if it's in a powered down state and u plug it in to charge. You just have to power it back down. It does charge in a sleep state as well. I haven't really payed attention to how long a full charge takes because I charge it at night, but I can tell u the battery last up to 6 hrs. I'll look into that the next time I fully discharge the battery

Agree with other 2, make sure it charged because that's how you turn it on. I've had no trouble with mine, works beautifully.

My son loves his tablet! Actually, he has a pretty short attention span, so 2 hours is fine for him. We always keep it plugged in when not in use so I don't think I can help you.

Ultimately depends on usage but it usually charge mine maybe 2 a week at night while sleeping. Overall last longer than my ipad, surface, and tab 3.... best overall tablet.

That is not true! My battery lasts for days without needing a full charge, which only takes a couple of hours, if that. The battery life is one of the pros about this tablet and one of the reasons I bought it.

You press the first button on the top of the machine to turn it on, when it boots up you will see a white spot with little white dots all around it, you place your finger on the white spot and slide your finger across the screen toward the right. You may have to plug it in and charge it first, but that should only take about an hour to charge enough to unlock the tablet. Good luck and feel free to ask any questions you might have...I'm a librarian and very much used to answering questions. :-)

For first time usage, it may take less than an hour to charge the tablet. If you have been using the tablet on a regular basis, it may take about one hour and fifteen minutes to charge.

The unit does not need to be turned on. When plugged into a device it comes on automatic. You can charge it any time. I wait until its depleted an than charge it.

This tablet is junk... And to answer your question, yes, this is one of many issues with it. It is very slow. Got for my son for Christmas, and he hasn't even really been able to use it. Price was good, but definitely worth the money to buy a better one.

This tablet uses a separate port to charge. I would avoid this tablet. I have owned and returned 4 of these.

The keyboard needs to be turned on also. You'll find the switch around the bottom right corner of the keyboard. I think the 1st time I turned it on, it may have asked me if I wanted it synced to the tablet but can't remember for sure. If not, then you might need to go into the settings to get it to sync/connect with your tablet. I use mine very seldom so I keep it turned off so it doesn't run down the rechargeable battery. Yes it needs charged up too occasionally. So far I have not had to charge mine up yet.Hope this helps direct you to where you need to go to connect the items together.

I'm not sure how Long mine takes to charge, all I know is I plug it in at night and the next day when I wake up it is charged I bought mine used and it works just fine . It doesn't hold a charge as long as I thought it would though and a new battery is pretty expensive

The tablet needs to be plug in and charge fully before you try to turn it on. The battery fully charged and used continuously only last about 8-12 hours.

I had the same problem. The reality is it isn't a very good tablet. You buy a 99 dollar tablet...you get a 99 dollar tablet. I had mine for 5 months and it stopped taking a charge. I learned my lesson.

I think my tablet just goes to sleep after a while. I'll have to check it out. Sorry.

I have not really taken note but it could be anywhere from 3-5 hrs. Besides it conserves energy if you're not using it it first goes into the sleep mode & later turns itself off. It's such a nice tablet PC that I've bought a total of 7 for sale/gift.I also buy fix & sell PCS.

The one I got came with a charger. It's a mini USB. You plug the charger into u r standard outlet. Then take the male end of the charger. And plug it into the tablet. Then wait until fully charged....
