Help won't boot

[huggy_a]

Hi,

i left a mouse plugged into my zt-180 when i booted it up , and every since then , it stops just after displaying ht etext 'android....'

i've tried pressing the reset switch (or poking a paper clip in it, but all just the same)

when i look at how to completely reset the tablet, everything seems to say to do it through the menu - which i can't get to.

other instructions on the web seem to suggest 'flashing the rom', a process i understand to mean "put relevant files onto micro-sd, put in machine, switch on with volume - pressed"

only thing is, all the links I follow for the 'rom' files seem to be dead!

is there a less drastic way of either getting it to boot, or performing some form of reset (I'm more than happy to have it wiped and restored to its original state), or can somoen point me at the appropriate rom?

thanks,

andy
