Iconia B1 switch on when charging?

Don't know if anyone will be able to help. I have an old iconia b1 that i want to install in my car. Because the power button will be concealed I need it to power up as soon as it starts charging. There are several ways to do this, according to the internet, however my iconia is not recognised by either my linux or windows pcs. The cable is good and I have factory reset tablet. Is there any way around this problem? or do I just need another tablet?

Thanks
