I don't know a whole lot about tablets, so I am not sure what is wrong with my Kyros. I am hoping somebody can tell me, and maybe point me in the direction of how to fix this thing. I am assuming it is bricked, but not sure if it is a hard or soft brick, or where to even begin.
My niece was playing on it today and the battery was running low so I told her to plug it in and let it charge. I went back a couple of hours later to use it and it was completely reset beck to default. Default apps, home screen, files...everything. I asked her what she did, if she changed anything, or whatever, and she denied everything...darn kids lol.
Anyway. I unplugged it and it seemed kinda laggy. Things froze while swiping the screen or trying to adjust settings. I figured maybe it just needed to reboot. So i turned it off, let it set a few and turned it back on. It would not go past the android screen. After a few more attempts (with the same results) I decided to try resetting it. Apparently that was the kick in the groin because it has not worked since. It is down for the count.
At the moment, the only thing that happens is when I push the power button, the four hard button / icons (search, back, menu, & bookmark) on the bottom light up. That is it. If I let off the power button the lights go off. If I hold the power button they stay on for about 10 seconds then turn off. That's it...nothing else.
I have tried the reset button again, that does nothing. I have tried power + home, and that does nothing. My computer does detect it when plugged in, but it can't locate the driver so it just says that it won't work.
So, bricked I assume? Hard Bricked? Any idea what I should do from here? My youngest daughter uses this thing like everyday to play on and stuff, and she is pretty upset, so I am hoping I can do something... I did search a few threads, but most dealt with other versions of the tablet, or did not have the same symptoms, or had no answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated on this. Thanks!!
