Hello jabarrera34 welcome to Android Forums.

Have you tried doing a hard reset? What could have happened the system software ROM has become corrupted or damaged, rendering it bricked and unbootable. Which means it has to be reloaded. This is something that can often happen with cheapo tablets like the Maylong, due to poor quality. You may be able to get the file from the manufacturer's website Maylong M270 Mobility Tablet PC Features

If not and it's under warranty, best bet would be to get an RMA, and return it as faulty for replacement, repair or refund.

Hi there, geekettewannabe, and welcome to Android Forums. :)

Sorry to hear you're having problems being locked out of your device. Although we don't have a forum for your specific device, we do have a thread that may help you: Lost/Stolen or Locked out of Device. Read Here

If that doesn't do the trick, feel free to post again.

A good solution for the maylong device freezing at the icecream sandwich logo is here www(dot)maylonggroup(dot)com/Tablet_downloads.htm maylong has had a problem with the m-270 version for a long time and this is the only fix that is available for the issue you are having. the tablets reset button when in this state doesn't work as well as the fact that when you plug it into your computer and start the device it will get past the loading screen sometimes and you will be met with a gesture lock with no actual way to unlock it. as well as the fact that programs meant to reset locks from a computer wont unlock it.

I hope this helped. read the instructions before hand to see what s/n the file you download supports.

first post so i couldn't post the link as a link

I did this and my tablet now will boot up but I am unable to use my touch screen....HELP!!!!
I followed the same advice and got the same result of a non-functional touchscreen. The readme accompanying the firmware says the update didn't apply to my model number (M270 1204), so I guess I can hardly blame anyone else. There is another file on the website that claims to apply, but it won't flash, possibly because it's an older version?

After writing the above, I decided to give it one more try, and it worked! It might solve your problem if you have a model like mine. I used a different file: http://www.maylonggroup.com/Tablets/M270FV1/M270FV.zip. Although this had failed to work, I created a new SD card, and it worked. I think my SD cards might be marginal for the Maylong or something. If you go to http://www.maylonggroup.com/Tablets/M270FV1 you'll see a PDF describing the models the update is intended for. There's a similar file for the CQ file as well.

This solution worked great for me on a Maylong M-270 tablet. The first file I downloaded was from the http://www.maylonggroup.com/Tablets/M270CQ1/M-270CQ_Ver%201.5.6.zip link. It worked but did not allow me to use touchscreen. I downloaded the file from http://www.maylonggroup.com/Tablets/M270FV1/M270FV.zip. and the unit is back up with touchscreen working. There is very little support for this product since they are out of business. Thanks for the post. Now I can give this back to my customer. When downloading file use save as option.

Do you still have the files? I downloaded them via the link you provided and it appears that the file is corrupt. I have tried different zip utilities with no success. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thank you in advance
