It can be reset even if bricked without taking the cover off.
(Pulling the battery out does nothing helpful.)
There is a 6mb initialization file that can be found online.
Copied to SD card and booted (with reset button) with card in slot will re-initialize to "green man".
While green man is present (stays on screen indefinitely) second file (firmware update, 158mb i think) is then booted (reset button) from seperate SD card. (hot swap the cards)
Connect charger before the process.
I have done this fix after rooting and screwing with mine until it would not boot.
A hard lesson but still a great tablet for the price.
The firmware update should be done in any case as the original firmware was buggy.
Many are currently available on Ebay averaging $60-$70
good luck - hope this helps someone
(of course this fix will not help a dead for-hardware-reasons tablet)
link to initialization file.....e201firmware.img
link to firmware update.....:::: IDENTITY ::::
The initialization file is hosted on Mediafire. (not sure for how long??)
The firmware update is on Wintec/Enspert site
I did not have to follow instructions on Wintec/Enspert site, only as stated above
