I am not familiar with this, and have tried to get technical help from the manufacturers directly.....But as they very surprisingly have gone bust, this doesn't look to be working.

Anyway I will keep it short, I turn the tablet on and it freezes on the Yarvik logo. The only way to power it down is to smash it against a wall or let the battery die out.

Any ideas on a work around or solution, I have tried the famous +Volume and Power combo.

Thanks in advance for any help, look forward to chatting with you....

Hello Aaron, congratulations on your Yarvik Luna tablet and welcome to the forum. Glad you decided to join us here at Android Tablets, and glad to hear you're planning to help out when you can.

Check out http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/android-tablet-q/62022-how-do-i-factory-reset-my-tablet.html

If there are no instructions for your tablet, try some of the methods for other tablets. One of them will probably work and you won't hurt anything by trying as long as the tablet has a good charge.

I'm also moving your thread to the Android Tablet Q&A section. If none of the solutions work for your tablet, perhaps someone there will be able to provide more assistance. Good luck!

What appears to have happened is that the system software is broke. It will not get past the logo stage. What you need to do is get android system the same or very close to the original of the tablet. Get a 4GB SD card copy the system on to the SD CARD. Insert the SD card into the tablet's SD CARD SLOT. Then holdling the volume - button push the power button (or push and hold) until thd tablet vibrates. Still holding the volume- button allow tablet to start up. Makd sure you have power to the tablet. Once the logo comes up and you get some kind of android symbol, let go of the volume button.
You should see the system being rewritten to the tablet.The process could take an hour.

I had a similar issue happend on my ICONIA A500.
