how to hard reset my tablet

A cheapo Shenzhen "MID" tablet shipped from HK. Hard reset which usually gives you the recovery options, is something like hold down a combination of the power button and the volume up or down buttons for about 10 seconds and/or maybe poking a paper-clip into a reset hole on the back. The exact method seems to vary by manufacturer.

Is there anything in the instructions about it? Assuming they're in English, not Chinese. You might have to play around with it, trying various combinations. Suggest trying holding down volume up or down and power at same time for about 10 seconds.
