Hi i did the same with my funbook talk
the sd and ext sd both dnt work and u only see a bootup image of funboook
i was stressed but came up with a solution
first swith off your tablet if stuck on logo press power + volume up ur tablet will swith off
next turn on ur laptop or computer and attach the switch off tablet via usb and wait for it to bootup automatically . Dnt press any key not evn power key
it will boot up but ur sd card wont be readable
now u have only ur phone memory working
go to the play store and download file manager ( rythum soft )
Open it go to settings of the file manager and tick root explorer option and the option below it ( mount system folders)
Go back press home button left top corner then press up
now press create and select file name it vold.fstab press ok
the file is created tap on it and press open
chose to open as text
u will end up in a blank page now type the following exactly make sure the hash is in the begining of line not in the end . Dnt copy type.

Do me a favor mail me on joshinehal811@gmail.com i will mail u the original format as the following format wont work
type it and save it after that copy it go to system/ etc find the vold.fstab delete it and paste the one u had copied
hold the vold.fstab u just copied and go to permissions check all in first coloumn and onlny the first box in second coloumn
go back to the page where u had created the file vold.fstab in the beggining of the process go to settings of your filemanager again and unmark the mount system folders option and then unmark root explorer
Reboot ur tablet
Shazam tablet powers on and sd card is read
note ------- do not dissconnect the usb cable till u power it off last time after the process
when turning it back again remove the usb and power on normally using the power button
hope it works for you . Best of luck . Feel free to ask anything in this issue
i have read many posts on web but none but one gave me this idea . Dont do any sort of abd push or try to download vold.fstab chances are it wont work .
For queries or help joshinehal811@gmail.com
