Hello and welcome to the forums, buddybay.

What brand name is stamped on the tab? There are a lot of "Android Mid A13 tabs listed.

Meanwhile, do you have access to the battery compartment, or is it a sealed battery? If you can remove the battery, shut down the tab and take out the battery. If you can't shut the device down, take out the battery anyway.

Also take out the SIM card if you have one, along with the sd card, if you have one.

Sometimes removing all three of those items and then putting them back in will remedy startup issues (and several other issues as well on many devices).

Let us know more about your tablet so we can hone in on advice for which one you have, and maybe even point you to a sub-forum here where other users of the same tablet can help out.
