Tip 1: reboot your tablet
Some problems can be solved by rebooting your tablet.
- Press and hold the on/off button of your tablet.
- You'll see 2 icons on the screen. Choose 'Restart'.

Tip 3: reset your tablet via the recovery mode
Don't remember the login code of your tablet? You can also reset it via the recovery mode.
- Turn off your tablet. If you can't, wait for the battery to run out.
- Once the tablet is switched off, press and hold the on/off button and the volume-up button.
- Release the buttons when you see the recovery mode menu appear.
- Select 'Wipe data/factory reset' with the volume-down button. Press the on/off button to reset it.
Note: this erases all data from your tablet. Only do this if all the other tips didn't work.
