Asus tablet not switching on

Dear all,
I have an Asus android tablet which is not switching on. I noticed that I had to keep pressing the on/off switch for sometimes before it switched on but now this doesn't happen, any help most appreciated.

    Charge the battery first .
    Then check power switch and if you can get to recovery mode .
    Sound like power switch contacts .

    What happens when you plug a charger in? I had a nexus 2012 (made by Asus), and sometimes that would not turn on from the power button until it received power through the usb port -even when the battery was fully charged. It would also not respond to the power button when turning off.

    If it is a problem like that, you could try one of the utilities that allow you to 'tap screen to wake'.

    thanks, jjegan and Shimrod, you are both spot on, I am going to try utilities I need something like that to wake it up.
    many thanks again.
