1. Press the power button and the home button together or Power button and Volume button together for a while, long enough till the Android boot mode screen appears. Press home button to reach the options under boot mode. Navigate through the options using volume key and select "Wipe Data Factory Reset"option using shortcut menu button. Again navigate to the option "delete- all user data" and select it using shortcut menu button. (Make sure memory card is not inside; otherwise the data on it will be lost). After the data is deleted, a message saying "Data Wipe Complete" appears. Press the shortcut menu button to reboot the tablet again. Now, your tablet is as fresh as a new tablet
It is different depending on which zeepad you have. From powered off, which yours sounds like it is:
1. Hold down both volumes and power at the same time. You should get an android on its back opened up.
2. Press both volumes at same time to open up a small blue text menu.
3. Then use Vol - and Vol + to navigate the Recovery mode.
4. Select "Factory Data Reset"
5. press power
6. choose "yes" from the menu
7. then press power again.
If this does not work try holding down the volume and power at the same time.
The graphic adapter is the video card installed inside the laptop, and normally does not get replaced, as this is integrated with the motherboard.
After installing Windows 7 you will need to install all drivers.
I would recommend using Vista on this laptop, since factory drivers for Windows 7 had not been released. You will have to install general drivers not designed for this laptop.
Select "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)"
Click Next
Select "Display Adapters" and click Next
Click the "Have Disk..." button
Navigate to the path where you extracted the Intel drivers. The *.inf file will be in the Win2000 folder
IMPORTANT: Do not select the 82852/82855 GM/GME drivers, select the 945GM driver (yes, this is counter-intuitive)
If prompted to reboot, DO NOT REBOOT
If told the 945 device might not work right, acknowlege the error, then run Action > Scan for Hardware Changes
"Intel(R)
82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controllers" and a "Mobile Intel(R) 945GM
Express Chipset Family" devices should now be listed under "Display
Adapers
Disable the 945GM device
Reboot
Verify the Video Driver Installation
Upon rebooting, Windows 7 may roll back one or more of your display devices to Standard VGA
Open Device Manager
Check the Display Adapters
If
there is only one 82852/82855 GM/GME device, or if there is a new
"unknown" device, precisely repeat the above driver installation
section (include the instructions for disabling the 945GM device); in
the case of an unknown device, run the "Update Driver" action for that
device instead of running the generic "Add Legacy Hardware"
When
everything is working, you should have "Graphics Properties" and
"Graphics Options" menu items in the pop-up menu when you right-click
on the desktop
The "Graphics Option" item should have sub-items for display rotation
Reboot and verify that Windows 7 no longer rolls back your display drivers after rebooting
Protect the Video Driver Installation
Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update
Windows will likely tell you that an important update is available
Click the "important update is available" link (do NOT click "Install updates")
Right-click on the "Intel Corporation - Display - Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family" update
Click "Hide update" from the context menu
If
the display driver gets updated to what is currently on Windows Update,
the system will revert back to the Standard VGA driver.
NOTE:
When using a driver install hack different from the method described
here, I have read reports that a system might Blue Screen when using
Windows Media Player to play DVD's; however, alternate media players,
such as VLC, reportedly do not exhibit this issue. I do not know if
this method will have this same problem, but I thought I would mention
this workaround in case someone does experience this issue."
Hello snapshots,
Here is what you do:
1) Click on a blank area of the desktop (not sure why, but sometimes this is necessary).
2) Press the toolbox button on your monitor. It is located in between the rotate screen button and the secondary "Esc" button. A tablet shortcut menu should appear in the middle of your screen.
3) Select "Settings" at the bottom left of the menu. This will open a "Customize Tablet Shortcut Menu Settings" Window.
4) In the "Auto Screen Rotation" portion of the window, make sure the "Enable ActiveRotate" box is checked.
5) If you choose, you may also want to click the "Calibrate" button. This will step you through customizing the ActiveRotate to your personal preference.
6) Click "Apply" and then "Ok".
Please note, that with the internal wi-fi connection enabled, you cannot use the X61 in tablet mode in certain orientations. Nothing bad will happen if you attempt to do this; but you will notice a message popup telling you this, as well as having the screen automatically switch orientations on you. This is normal and has something to do with the wi-fi antenna location.
Hope that helps!
Jeff
