Boot to the login screen

Click the power button in the bottom right

Hold shift and click restart

Trouble shooting

Hi,

Do you have a micro USB to USB converter, if so attach a USB keyboard turn it off, then turn it on whilst holding on the left shift key.

This then boots to system restore mode.

This took me 5 hours to figure out last Xmas day!!!!!!

This worked for my 8" linx tablet.

Have you tried dropping it and picking it up again?
this often terminates a lot of tech problems

Have you got a toddler handy? Little bastards seem to be able to unlock anything technology related.

There's a 'backdoor' method that works on PC's, which might work on a tablet if you can get it to boot from a USB stick.
