- Power off and then when turning it back on, hold down any miscellaneous buttons e.g. volume rocker etc while booting up. See if that boots you in to a fastboot/recovery menu.
Set-up the Mini-SDK (or if you are familiar with Android and already have the SDK installed, then great). Connect the tablet via USB and open up a command prompt as Administrator in the sdk-tools folder. Use either command:
adb devices
fastboot devices
To see if the tablet is recognised. Hopefully it will be, and you can use any of these commands to try to boot into fastboot or recovery:
If none of the buttons are responding then your only option is to wait for battery to die, then reboot. It should work fine when rebooted. I used to have that problem all the time with my old Limited Edition iPod. I Regardless of the fact that mine was Apple and yours in Android, it is the same principal for all computers.
