    Why does my tablet flicker every time I start it up and never turn on?

    If it's android, then it is in boot loop. Try to go into boot settings and wipe the partition.

    Try flashing a stock ROM in it by using a flash tool. Download a flash tool for your specific device model.

      • Reset your Android tablet prior to selling, donating, recycling, or gifting the device to another person. Resetting your tablet will erase all personal data and prevent others from accessing your Gmail account and other sensitive information you may have stored in Google or on your device.
