In desperation I was thinking of opening it up and disconnecting the battery
Not sure it would work as I never opened a pad up before a tower yes a laptop yes but not a pad
Anyway unscrewed the 4 very small screws and was just going to take it apart when what I though was a very small crack appeared in one corner so quickly put it back together

Thanks for all help and advice anyway
