Did you turn on USB Storage when prompted? If not, exchange your tablet for a new one.

Actually i only allowed the Usb Debugging thing on the Developers options when i connect the cord to my tablet and to the computer... did i miss something?

USB Debugging has nothing to do with USB storage. When you plugged the tablet in you should have see a icon near the clock which. When you expand the clock by tapping on it you should have a option to turn on USB storage. When you turn it on you should then be able to access your storage through the PC.

If you're not seeing that icon when you connect the tablet to the PC, then there is a problem with the tablet. So how exactly did you root this tablet?

These telechips appear to be prone to sdcard problems. But without having one to see what is happening there is going to be no fix.

Just guessing, some apps trigger the tablet to unmount sdcard. Then the tablet is unable to mount the sdcard again.

It's best to just return the tablet, as you will most likely never fix your sdcard problems.
I have no more warranty because as you see, when i bought the tablet, there has been already a factory defect in it... now on the tablet shop, i cant return it back because they dont provide refunds… Is there any way i can overcome this problem? Please answer…

I can't fix what I don't have, my guess you can't fix it. Would require time and knowledge of mounting dmesg, logcat.
I won't put time into as I don't have this device and only trust myself to correctly troubleshoot and repair this type of problem.

Just use tablet as is or try and sell it on eBay. Perhaps someday, someone with one of these tablets that has the sdcard problem will provide a solution.
