I also don't know, I think you can consult your seller for help
Hi
I have been having these problems as well. What I have found is that it is either
1. That the battery is not charged enough
2. You installed something previously that is causing the boot to fail.
The way I have managed to resurrect the device is to press the power button and the menu button (I think) at the same time. Keep holding them and after a few seconds you will be shown a menu which gives you to reset the device to factory settings. I have discovered that if you clear the system, then generally the machine will reboot OK next time.
this is a real pain in the ass. I would estimate that the machine actually only boots 1 in 4 times I try and I have had to wipe the machine about 5 times in the 1 month I have owned it.
If anyone has any better techniques I would be very pleased to read them. I am hoping that this will be fixed by a software upgrade at some point in the future. Its a shame really because once I have been able to kick this machine into life I quite like it.

I am having the same issue too! Is there an answer out there? Someone suggested re-flashing the device. New to this, how is reflashing done?

All,
I have this same issue. I purchased my epad yesterday and it worked fine. I downloaded a few apps, synced mail, etc. I plugged it in last night to charge and left it on the charger over night. This morning I took it to work and it tried to boot. It froze on the "unlock" screen. I reset it via the pinhole reset button. Everytime after that it froze on the "android" black screen.
I flashed it with the original rom. It then began to freeze on the Android Man in the top left corner. I downloaded the newest rom to the sd card and installed from the card. The install proceeded as it should then the screen went black with the blue led lit. I held the power button for 10 secs. Now when I boot it either freezes on the "epad" black screen or the Android Man.
I have read every forum I can find today and no one can help. Please take a minute to respond. There must be someone out there who knows how to fix this issue...and it sure seems common.
Thank you in advance.

I had this problem a couple of days ago.
Here is what I did to fix it.
Hold down home and volume- (volume minus) now hold down the power button. Hold all three down. The green screen of death (The GSOD)
will come up. Keep holding them down - The loader whizzing sun will do it's thing. Then the recover screen will appear.
At this stage let go with the fingers. You will see a list of options, using the volume control +- scroll down to 'format cache' or something similar.
Press Home or menu to clear it. (not sure which but if it's not one it's the other.) Now! scroll down to 'delete factory setting' (or format it)
select it. A list of noes with one yes in the middle will be seen. This is a subtle way of the wow mob telling you not to do it.
I had nothing to lose so I picked yes. It said if I proceeded I would lose some programs. I clicked ok and it said 'formatting factory settings.'
A notice came up saying 'Restart ? I pressed the home or menu and it restarted through the GSOD to the main screen with the beijing weather icon.
I lost all the market stuff I had installed but that was ok. Everything on the sd cards was still there.
I went to the 'about this or something ' in settings and re-entered the registration number.
I hope this helps.
