The popularity of tablet computers is growing more and more, they are becoming faster, the time of autonomous work is increasing. While traditional laptops run on battery power for only a few hours, their young sister tablets run 6-12 hours on a single charge. The number of processor cores is growing, the number of RAM and flash memory.
Not so long ago, we talked about a dual-core processor as something new and super progressive. Such a processor could stand only in a stationary computer. But here we are holding a portable device with four or eight processor cores. Like not wise, but with all this, problems are growing. At the dawn of the formation of computers, we had to restart them 20 times a day. Similar is observed with android tablets, although not in such quantities. What to do when the tablet does not turn on, freezes, etc.
- Where is the “Reset” button on the tablet?
- The tablet does not turn on
How to restart the tablet when it freezes?
We all know how to restart the computer, but how to restart the tablet on android? Do not disassemble it every time. That's right, no need to disassemble. Some manufacturers have bothered to make a small hole in the back or side panel in which the same reset button, so familiar to us, is located.
Press it lightly with a paper clip or toothpick.
Another hole is sometimes present, often signed by MIC. It has a microphone. Many people often believing that there is a reset button there, feed on inserting a paper clip there, thereby damaging the microphone, which subsequently ceases to work. Therefore, be careful!
The rest went the other way. The bottom line is holding the power button for some time. On average about 30 seconds.
The first thing to do when the tablet does not turn on is to reset it. For clarity, you can use the block diagram below. This instruction will help in cases when the tablet is frozen.
If the charge indicator is displayed after the procedure, then it’s not so sad and you have a good chance that everything is in order from the tablets. You should leave the tablet on charge for a while, and then try to turn it on.
REMEMBER !!! Leaving devices on the network unattended is TOTALLY PROHIBITED !!!
If after the described procedure it still doesn’t turn on or weighs on loading, most likely you have a software failure and you need to flash it, or contact the SC.

Now we will figure out how to make a hard reset on the tablet, but before that it should be recalled that all personal data and personal settings will be destroyed. True, there are some types of tablets (even on Windows RT), which provide special storage for personal user settings.

Reset button and everything related to it

Basically, its action is reduced to the usual reboot of the gadget and very rarely to reset to factory settings. Moreover, the latter is not guaranteed to you. A tablet can simply go into TEST mode. Nevertheless, you need to use it if you just have a tablet stuck or as the first way to help. True, there is a small snag. For three years already, almost all manufacturers have abandoned it, based on the non-practicality of its use.

The reset button is always inside the device. An access hole of 1-1.5 mm is provided for access to it. This is done to avoid accidental clicking. Do “Reset" when the device is turned on. Hold the button with a thin object (pin, toothpick) for 2-5 seconds.

Hello. Resetting parameters can be done not only from the recovery menu. If you can’t enter the recovery, then reset through the tablet settings. Enter the settings. Find the "Backup and Reset" item and select "Reset Settings" () in it. If this option cannot be completed, then try to enter the recovery by pressing the Power + volume (-) button. When you hold down the volume + the tablet goes into firmware mode. If you can’t do it yourself, then it’s better to turn to more experienced people. I’m unlikely to be able to help remotely, since I need to see the screen (personally do everything), because on some models it’s not so easy to enter the recovery menu (standard options do not work). If the tablet does not turn on and you want to recover through the recovery, then this will not help. In this case, you generally need to flash -
