Craig CMP741d screen does not stay on

Try a different battery charger.
Maybe you are using a battery charger of a phone.
They have the same plug but different Amperage.
Usually tablets have more powerful battery charger than phones (2.1A instead of 0.5/1A).

The battery charger that you are currently using seems to have enough power just to keep your tablet alive, but not enough to charge it.

You can check on the data written on the battery charger's body the maximum amperage.

Your dc socket is probably on its way out- soon it wont connect charge at all-bad future outlook on this- return if possible.

what i did with mine was opened it up to expose the inside i found that a few wires and plugs had wiggled them selves lose.I put it back together and it worked.craig makes these tablets very cheaply.i will never by another craig product again.i now have a samsung 3 and love it bo issues what so ever.got tired of all the problems i had with craigs tablets and gave it to my niece.hope this helps.

I always had to press one of the buttons on the side before the screen would come on for me to unlock the tablet, try it. :)

I cobbled together two RadioShack 5v usb batteries in series and a tiny coaxial plug. A couple of bits of Velcro holds the "Frankenbattery" to the back of Craig to power it. The original battery inside the Craig is soldered in place and should only be "tampered" with by a dedicated hardware hacker. The original battery was apparently made by "Shenzhen HENGWANG Energy Technology Co., Ltd." in China. try contacting "[email protected]" for OEM quantities only. Good Luck.
