Hi there! On my google tablet, I was messing around with the DPI (my device is rooted). I changed the DPI to the point where everything on the screen was too small. I cannot press anything, all of the buttons are too small. I have tried a factory reset but it didn’t change anything. I cannot connect my computer to it and change the DPI that way because USB debugging is disabled. I have ran out of options. Are there any other options that you may know of? I remember changing a build-prop file. Thank you.

With debugging disabled, there's not much chance of pushing a new build.prop to your device. The best option would be to locate and flash the factory firmware for your table. What's the make and model?

When I saw that someone actually responded with a solution, I got really excited, thank you haha. The model number is : DL718M-G. I am not sure if that is what you are looking for but I hope it is.

It is. 
The problem is that your tablet (Digiland DL718M) is a budget Chinese import from several years ago. There's not going to be much developer support and they don't seem to have an official site for downloading firmware. I did find one site that claims to be stock firmware for that model, but it's pretty cheesy looking and the link takes you to "needrom.com" where you need to be a member to download. Who knows if the link is valid, a scam or worse? I can't say that I would bother for a $50 tablet.

Oh Okay, so it's better to just buy a new one. Thank you so much for your help! I just wanted to know if there was any other option before tossing it. Thank you so much!

On other option that *might* work for you is to plug a mouse into a OTG USB adapter and see if you can get an active cursor on your tiny display. It might give you enough control to revert your build.prop.

I actually got my computer to connect with my tablet! I am not sure how, maybe the factory reset turned on the USB Debugging. What do I do now?

Without USB debugging enabled, ADB isn't going to be able to push a new build.prop to your tablet.

I prefer to keep all of this in the forums. The more eyes on it the more likely you're going to get a solution.
Anyway, you can't enable debugging without access to the phone. Sorry. I would seriously try the OTG mouse thing.
