The tablet goes through the motions of turning on displaying first the excelvan screen then a screen with the android loading logo. then once this screen has finished loading the screen goes black and seems to be completely turned off again. this is the third one of these tablets that we have had this problem with since xmas day. 2 of which have been replaced by the seller. i have tried looking for a way to hard-reset and have tried practically every combination of the power button and the +/- vol buttons and nothing seems to work. any suggestions for this model

In order to hard reset your tablet, the steps given below must be followed:
Ensure that the tablet is powered off.
Press the Power and the Volume Up button together till the device displays the start-up logo.
Once the logo is displayed, release the buttons and wait till the device enters the Android system recovery mode.
On the displayed screen, use Volume Down button to go to the wipe data/factory reset option (Volume Up and Volume Down buttons are used to highlight the displayed options on the Android system recovery screen).
Once the option is highlighted, press the Power button to select the option. (Pressing the Power button in Android system recovery mode selects the highlighted option.)
On the next screen, press the Volume Down button multiple times till the Yes -- delete all user data option is highlighted.
Press the Power button to hard reset the Samsung tablet device while clearing the dalvik cache along with the process.

The robot dude meant it was loading up the system settings to the next screen so you can wipe off corrupted data that prevents the tablet from completing startup.usually an incomplete update.So
as follows ... Hold power button to switch off tablet....then hold power button and volume up together for at least ten seconds.let the robot appear and do nothing until the menu option comes up to ask you to factory restore.you will lose all your apps and data.if the robot comes on and gets stuck make sure the tablet is fully charged and repeat the two button hold as this may take several attempts.sometimes Chinese technology is unpredictable.

It is stuck in boot up. It is most likely done.
