Try this:

Plug in the power supply.
The red charge LED should light up.
Wait about 1 ~3 minutes.
Try to power on with powder plugged in. Hold the power button for a few seconds if needed.
Tablet may start....

There appears to be a bug in the charging/monitoring circuitry.
While the battery is actually charged, the battery monitoring circuitry seems to display the behaviour of discharging (when the red LED goes off).
If you leave the tablet charging overnight it sometimes happens that the tablet thinks it is flat and refuse to power on.
Re-plug in the power tricks it into thinking it is charging.
In a few minutes, the monitor recovers enough to turn on.
Then it takes about 1~3 minutes for the charge level meter to rise from 20% to 100%.....
