Now my other neace has a coby tablet/Mid9740 - Coby Tablets & eReaders

Try disconnecting the battery , for about an hour, and see if it does not go back to the factory settings.

Coby has closed their doors. One of the solutions I found was to do a hard reset which restores the tablet to out of the box condition. To do so, hold the power button & the volumn down button until the android figure appears. He'll be on his back with an open panel on his chest with a red triangle above it. Press the 'back' button and a menu appears with options of "reboot system now', 'apply update from external source', wipe data/factory reset', 'wipe data partition', and 'apply update from cache.' Scroll up & down the list using the volume up/down buttons and select the option you want using the power button.

Here you go...

Click on the link below:

Once that web page is loaded, you'll see a light gray box with a small image of the owners manual, with a User Manual PDF text link just to the right of it, and the text beneath that link saying it's 121 pages.

Do not click anywhere else, especially not on the big green DOWNLOAD button. That loads you up with other software you don't really need.

This should get you going.

Unfortunately, Coby went out of business last summer (2013) and left a lot of people missing items they'd sent in for repair or replacement.

The MID9740 doesn't have a bluetooth module so you can't connect anything to it by bluetooth.

To perform a factory reset:
1. Turn off your tablet
2. press the power button and at the same time time, the "back" button until you will see options on the screen
3. Use the home and menu button to to navigate up and down
4. Choose the option to wipe all data and just wait for it to finish rebooting.

Seems like thermal throttling, thermal throttling is a process where a device slows down in order to cool down. If the unit has a fan, the fan might be misaligned. If so, since it's out of warranty, I would suggest self-repair since I do not know any store that repairs those kind of devices.

Turn the tablet all the way off, press and hold the VOL - and power at the same time for 8 to 9 seconds, it will show a green android guy with a system recovery menu. Use vol - to go down to Wipe Data/Factory Reset, press the power button to select it, go down to 'yes' to confirm, press the power button to select it, it will wipe the tablet, you then press the power button on 'reboot system'.
