HP TouchPad Software/Hardware

[#1]

My touchpad won't switch on. The central light blinks and sometimes pressing the power button brings up a battery symbol with a question mark in the middle of the screen. The touchpad has been on charge for hours now.

I have tried central + power + volume down and central + power + volume up button. Nothing has worked. When I plug the touchpad to my laptop windows does try to search for a driver but fails to do so.

The Webdoctor fails to detect the device. Any ideas?

The touchpad isn't getting charged.

When I do a hard reboot of the touchpad when its not connected to a computer I get the big white Question mark within a battery symbol. When

I try to reboot the touchpad while its connected to the laptop I simply get a black screen with a blinking central button. The laptop does recognize that something is connected but is unable to determine what it is. WebOS Doctor does not detect the device either.

I am having the exact same problem and have done everything you have and STILL cannot figure it out!! Does anyone have an answer or should I just return it.

I did send my touchpad back to HP. They were unable to fix it and replaced it with a new unit.
