Hello. I purchased an AllWinner A13 Cortex A8 1.5GHz 4.2.2 tablet for one of my kids about a month or two ago. I have not made any alterations to the tablet and it suddenly has gotten stuck at the ANDROID logo when we turn it on. My model specifically says : Q8 (A-3) Q8-AL8. I just want to hard reset it/restore to factory defaults at this point to see if that fixes the problem. Here is what I've tried and run into so far:
I cannot get the right combo to make the first android logo come up with the open chest so that I can factory reset.
Need help. Going on a long drive with the kids in a week and really need this thing working for my own sanity. Please help.
- tried holding power and + volume for over a minute - does not turn on at all (when I have earphones in, I can hear that something happening)
- tried holding power and - volume for over a minute - same as above
- tried holding power and both + and - down for over a minute - same as above
- Oh and there is no reset button on this tablet. took it apart and none to be found.
- tried hooking the tablet up to a PC - PC will fail in loading a driver for the tablet
- I've rebooted this thing maybe 50 times and 1 time, probably around the 40th try, it actually booted all the way up. Stupid me=I have the tablet do a soft reset thinking everything was ok......and back to the ANDROID logo boot. Should have just factory reset it at that point.
