Good morning everyone! I hope your start to the weekend is going well. We had a lot of rain yesterday and last night but none so far this morning. Its still hot and humid but the humidity is not as bad as it was yesterday. Well, I made a big mistake. Several people here kept telling me that I should try and reset my old tablet back to the factory settings. I didn't understand how I could do this if I had a black screen and it wouldn't turn on. Besides, I had already bought a new tablet. Curiosity got the better of me so I went to YouTube. It said to hold down the power button and volume button at the same time. It worked! I was so surprised. I went through the instructions and reset it back to factory settings and gave it to my brother. Now he has a tablet too. So thank you to all of you who suggested I reset it. My brother thanks you too. **photo is from Pixabay**

We have a tablet on black screen. I read your post to my son, maybe it will work for us. Thanks.

YouTube solves many things, I guess. I would not have known how either.

That is so great. I'm glad that you figured that out, I know that it can be a bit nerve wracking as I had a tablet that required that once. I decided to give it away and let that person reset it.
