Hi Guys

Had my Mid X5a since Christmas and its been great. Just turned it on today, it made a stuttering sound and its now frozen on the ANDROID boot screen. The Android wording is not 'moving' and the power button is not allowing me to turn off the tablet.

Its just frozen on a black screen with the word ANDROID in the middle.

The tablet has not been modded or rooted in anyway.

What can i do to reboot it? Any help appreciated.

If you have the android sdk installed on your pc, you can try using adb. Connect it to your pc and open a console (command line window). Run ' adb devices' and see if it recognizes your tablet. If so, run ' adb reboot'.

killed adb.exe in task manager and when it runs now i get this message:

daemon started succesfully
deamon still not running error:cannot connect to daemon

I guesss that means the PC doesnt recognise it...What do i do now?

Thanks for your help i_n. I left it over night and the battery went flat. Once plugged in with power it boots up fine but again froze with one of the apps. Im going to fully charge the battery and see how it goes.

Is it easy to re-install android 2.1 in case i have some corrupt files?
