I have a MID9042 which was working until last time which I turned it off as usual but now it doesn't boot at all
It just gets stuck at Android logo no matter how long I wait
There is a Reset hole on the side, I tried to push it with a pin but it didn't help either
I started to google and I found out that it is somehow a common problem and the solution is "Factory Reset"
I found this info :
In step three :
3. RELEASE the “-“ key and press the “ ” key on the volume control
what is “ ” key anyway?
Is it a typo?
I tested different keys but none of them worked
Someone help me please.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I found this info :
The mid9042 does NOT have the famous silver back button referenced in posts relative to Coby tablets.
To reset it to the factory settings (i.e., to get around a forgotten password/pattern):
1. With the pad OFF depress the "-" key on the volume control and the power button at the same time and HOLD them down until the “Coby” splash screen comes up.
2. KEEP HOLDING THE “-“ key down and RELEASE the power button until an android is displayed lying on its back.
3. RELEASE the “-“ key and press the “ ” key on the volume control You should see the Android system recovery options on the screen.
4. After the menu appears, select the “wipe data/factory reset > Yes “ menu item by pressing the “-“ key until the cursor is on the line
5. Press power button to select
6. After it goes through resetting, using the volume key to navigate to the “reboot system now” menu item
7. Select the menu item by pressing the power button to select
8. Your mid9042 will now boot to an unprotected screen, BUT you will have lost any applications you downloaded. You will, however, save all pictures, etc. you have loaded.
