I beleive I turned it off without powering it down so it may have run the battery down completely. How long do I need to charge it to turn it back on? It's been charging for 2 hours and still won't come on and the red light is not coming on anymore when charging. What happens if your primer pocket won’t turn on?

I used the Skytex Customer Support form online and filed a Request for Replacement.  I NEVER heard back from anyone...just got a general email saying that my request had been submitted.  After 3 days, I sent an email to their order dept and customer support....didnt hear back for 1-2 days.  Finally I got a response from their customer support.  After a few emails back and forth explaining that I wanted to either get the Pocket Primer replaced or refunded, I was sent instructions for a refund.  In summary, the instructions stated that I would have to pay for all of the shipping/handling of the returned item, also pay a 15% restocking fee (whatever that is) and then I would be put on a refund list (whatever that meant).  In the end, I decided to simply keep my piece of junk Pocket Primer since I would only be getting a $30 refund(due to $10+ for shipping and 15% restocking fee) and I would probably have to wait 6-8 more weeks before I saw any sort of refund. I cannot recommend to anyone to purchase the Pocket Primer...even if its super discounted at $50.00.  I am chalking it up as a Loss and a Lesson learned.  Cheap Price = Cheap Quality.  If you are looking for a cheap tablet, don't be fooled by the good looking Pocket Primer.

Primer…Unfortunately, I had a bad one.  I was excited about my

pocket tablet that I could take on the go to anywhere and be able to

When my
Pocket Primer arrived, I immediately charged it up (which took several
hours).  Then, I decided to download some Apps onto the device.  I soon
realized that even though it’s an Android compatible device, it doesn’t
allow you to use any of my favorite Android App markets.  You are
limited to the Getjar App market which is very limited.  It did have
some of the basic Apps for email and news, but it was lacking any good
sports, music, games, and entertainment apps.  I still managed to find
some Apps to my liking (although some of them did not work after
downloading them).
