Highly doubt this since tested and working 16 GB HC in original SYNET7LP.

They suggested to return it or RMA it.

Do it since it will probably NOT be the last time it needs servicing/replacement.

Might try to reflash it since I cannot find a way to do a hard reset.

---

If it doesn't go well under their current policy it will not be repaired/replaced.

Ask Digital Gadgets about a hard reset and they said it could not be done. Anybody able to do a hard reset on this model?

They all have some combination of key pressess. The screen is considered a button as well. Generally it's all three for some period of time, some notification, a quick release of two and then either the tablet will burn a backup of the system image or bring up a menu where you can select to perform a "factory reset"

PS Just did a quick check of the U0 "u-boot-nand.bin" image that is included in the InfoTMIC Update Wrap (.ius) file and a reset function is clearly programmed you just need to find the key press combination.

Code:

---

Checking recovery key state ...

Since this model does not have a USB port does anyone know if I could possibly hook up a keyboard through the headphone jack?? I have seen a headphone jack to female USB port cable on the internet and was wondering if that might work??

Probably not. The InfoTMIC firmwares all reference bluetooth so with the removal of the USB ports it was probably planned to be bluetooth compatible for file transfer and external devices such as keyboard but the either never added the hardware or completed the software build to support. Once the tablet breaks, crack it open for inspection and see if there are traces of possible bluetooth inclusion.

PS Have you found a key combination with Power, Back, Volume to reset the tablet?

Actually I have not even open it up yet. It is my Christmas present and I have to wait to open it then, according to the wife.

You're a life saver the key combo you mention worked for me same sylvania tablet with no usb port. Power, back, volume, then when prompted press them all again.

i just purchased my daughter the synet7lp-ds, seems to be working fine except the slideme 4.0 keeps giving me error code 505, I noticed there is a update 4.3 sam, how do i update if there isnt any sd card that will work.

SlideME seems to be having problems (think of the millions of new users that got Andriod tablets for Christmas) and I believe they are overloaded.

Go HERE and sign up for Amazon App Store in the upper RH box and download it to your mSD card or USB stick and install on your netbook. The microSD cards MUST BE formatted FAT32 in order to work.

Ok, so far this a decent tablet do not need a stylus to type and can just use my thumbs to type and not my fingernails. Still need to find a Facebook app. though so far I am happy with it.

I tried that combination. When prompted to select require keys I hit the same buttons (power, back, volume) and I get a "No recovery image is found, try recover from SD" message. Nothing happens. What do you recommend?

One other thing to pass along, I noticed that mine said that it had 4GB of flash memory, but checking the settings it only shows that it has 1.99GB?? I have heard that other models have also stated this on the box only to have 2GB. Why is this??

Also wanted to add that I did have a firmware update that was in my updates section that I did on my tablet. Not sure what it did for my tablet, but was wondering if anyone else with this model has done an update like this??
