It is a white screen with a blake dot

The screen is faulty or you've not put the screen cable clip in properly.

The white dots are most likely to be failed pixels in the LCD screen. When the picture elements fail, they switch to clear and what you see as white is the backlighting.

The overheating issue in laptops is generally caused by dust and fluff blocking the cooling fins and ducts or a failed cooling fan, but it could also be caused by a hung process which runs the CPU at a high processing speed. Press control (CTRL) ALT and DEL and look at the task manager and see if you can see any processes that are running constantly near or at 100% to eliminate this being the problem.

The failing display is unlikely to be related to the overheating issue.

The "dots" on the screen are the security measure and require the correct pattern to unlock. This was enacted by someone (yourself or someone you know who had access to the tablet) as a measure to keep others out of personal information.

I would direct you to the insigniaproducts.com website for instructions on a hard reset of the tablet.

Keep in mind that the security solutions are designed to keep others out of your tablet. If this was your intention, it is working too well. Choices are limited...remember/figure out the pattern, or reset the tablet and loose all data.

I'm sorry this happened but there's really no "crack" or shortcut around the security measure.

I would recommend calling RCA support at (800) 252- 6123 so they can suggest some troubleshooting steps you can take. If it is still under warranty and you're unable to get it working then you can send it back and get a replacement

Had same problem, turned out to be fault in firmware operating system, replacement tablet.

Usually it should be set to ask for a password. If not contact Kindle support on-line.

go to setting>display>rotate screen
check the box(click in box)
it'll activate auto rotate

Hi, I can do the "hard reset" but then my screen gets stuck on the icecream sandwich with the watermarks.
