OK I havent been able to get my tab working yet and doubt I ever will 
so last night I found a program that lets you boot from SDcard called phoenixcard really kewl program seem the allwinner chipset id very open and theres a large community based on these chip Ubuntu anyone bad new is Phoenixcard uses the live suit images I know I should have waited and built my own rom from my backups but I decided to try the 7042 it has sames exact spec except screen rez and size. so I stuck SDcard in turned on the power and got black screen and clicks I let it sit like that for half hour and turned it off took out SDcard and turned it on and nothing happened RIP MID1045 but good new for all of you I cracked it open hoping for a hidden reset, or disconect the battery and let it sit for a couple days might help I didnt find a reset button The back came open with little effort I used a guitar pick medium stiff I did find on the MB a 6 spot pad where connecter might go for cmos programmer I might just have to sodder some wire on and see what I get. the reason this is good for you is I took lots of pic theyre not the greates....
