New to this: Android tab won't start up

[stephieg22]

Hi I have an M002 Android tablet with android 1.6 system. I moved some programs to the home screen & since then have the constant message 'android.process.acore' has stopped unexpectantly. please try again. (force close) i cannot get a home screen or even get onto anything else to try a manufacturers reset, i only have one main button to start up the tablet & a pinpoint M/R button which i've tried with no luck. when it reboots it only goes to 'android' on the screen then if it comes on at all it only shows the last page i was on and won't let me do anything at all on the screen. Please help

there are no other buttons other than the power and m/r button? not even a volume rocker?

im not 100% as i have no experience with this specific device, but have you tried powering it off completely then holding down just the m/r button no power button? or holding down both m/r and power at same time?

it seems like you are going to need to somehow get into recovery mode which is slightly different on all devices.

Welcome to the Android Forums!

You would likely be best served posting this question in the Tablets & Mids forum. The Eken tablet that you've got is one of the many Chinese knock-off tablets. Most, my Witstech tablet included, have certain quirks and challenges that aren't always easy to correct.

I also bought an Eken M003 in China last year. The tablet unlock 5 by 5 dot matrix entry password program stopped working. So, can't open tablet. The Eken message is to "press Menue or make emergency call." I live in the US. Tried to contact Eken in China thru their email. No response. My take is that Eken doesn't support their products.

After tablet password program (5 by 5 dot matrix) stopped working and Eken wouldn't respond to emails, tried pin in hole next to on/off switch. Eken appeared to restart, but nothing changed. Anyone have info on reset?
