Why is my tablet stuck at load screen?
I recently encountered a frustrating problem with my tablet. It powers on, but then it gets stuck at the load screen and won’t proceed any further. I’ve tried restarting it multiple times, but the issue persists. It feels like the device is just frozen, and I can’t get past the initial loading screen no matter what I do. There’s no error message or indication of what the problem might be, which makes it all the more baffling. Considering that my tablet was working perfectly fine before this happened, I am puzzled and a bit worried about what could be causing this issue. Is it a software glitch, a hardware failure, or something else? I’m seeking a better understanding of why my tablet is stuck at the load screen and what might be going wrong.

It’s possible that your tablet’s battery isn’t providing enough power to get your device past the loading screen. If the battery is old, worn out, or not properly charging, it will fail to boot up as needed. Here’s what you can do:
1. Plug your tablet into a reliable power source with a different charger and cable.
2. Allow it to charge for at least one hour.
3. Try powering it on again while connected to the charger.
Sometimes, when the battery degrades over time or doesn’t charge correctly, it can lead to these frustrating boot issues.
Another factor that can cause tablets to get stuck on the load screen is an external SD card. Sometimes, the SD card can corrupt and interfere with the boot process.
1. Turn off your tablet.
2. Remove the SD card.
3. Turn on the tablet without the SD card.
If your tablet boots up successfully, the SD card might be at fault. Try reformatting the SD card using another device and check for any errors before using it again.
One common cause of this problem could be a corrupted operating system. Sometimes, a glitch in the software prevents the tablet from completing its boot process. To address this, you can try performing a factory reset. Here’s how:
1. Turn off your tablet completely.
2. Press and hold the power button and volume up button simultaneously until the tablet’s logo appears.
3. Use the volume buttons to navigate to ‘Recovery Mode’ and select ‘Factory Reset’ using the power button.
4. Confirm your choice and wait for the procedure to finish.
Keep in mind this will erase all your data, so it should be the last resort if other methods fail.
A likely reason why your tablet is stuck on the load screen is due to apps or services interfering with the boot process. Rebooting your tablet into Safe Mode might help identify if a third-party app is the culprit.
1. Hold down the power button until the power options appear.
2. Press and hold the ‘Power Off’ option until you get a prompt to reboot into Safe Mode.
3. Select OK to reboot into Safe Mode.
If the tablet fully loads, then an app is likely causing the issue. You can uninstall recent apps one by one to find the problematic one.
