Factory Hard Reset - Model A13 (September 2024 - current)


NOTE: Below are the instructions for a Hard Reset - This is required if you are locked out of your tablet or your touch screen in unresponsive. If you can access the Settings Menu on your tablet, you can also do the >> Factory Reset via the Settings Menu. Click the previous link for instructions, which are a bit easier than the Hard Reset explained below.


Follow these steps to do a factory hard reset:
  • Power off the tablet by holding the Power button until a tiny menu pops up
  • Tap "Power off" on the pop-up menu


  • [IF your device is unable to power off by holding the Power button, for example if the Fully Single App Kiosk is active, follow these steps to switch off your tablet] Remove the android tablet from your CollecTin More > Guide that shows how to remove your android tablet from your CollecTin More
  • Using a slim paperclip or single stable, press the small button inside the pin-sized hole underneath the power button on the side of the tablet, which will turn the screen and tablet off
