This view sonic worked completely fine until the kids left it turned on and killed the battery. It was stuck at the 3 birds screen. I was able to access the recovery screen and tried to do a factory restore. It is now completely stuck at the 3 birds screen and will not enter recovery mode (power plus + volume). I was able to connect it to my computer using a usb cord and found a driver to get it to enter APX mode (Power plus - volume). Tablet shows as a APX device under printers in my windows 7 computer. I am completely stuck now concerning what I do to get the computer to see the tablet so I can access the root directory (not sure if that is right but I hope you get the idea of what I am trying to do) I have an external SD card and not sure if that is what I use to get the tablet to boot correctly. ANY help is appreciated.
 
Power off the unit.
****DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT YOU CAN DAMAGE THE COVER DOING THIS! ****
Take out the four screws under the rubber caps on the under side of the G-Tab.
Then pop the case apart carefully....
Near the center of the curcuit board that you exposed there is a RESET button.
Press it with the Power off you should then see the screen come to life and boot normally.
Good Luck ....
:p
 
Ok so I tried that and it is still stuck at the 3 birds screen and will not do anything else, could you suggest another method to try?
