Coby MID8065 tablet

[rfuller4]

Hello all,

I am attempting to ressurect a COBY MID8065 tablet.
Tablet is stock, no changes or additions, not rooted. SD card installed.
Issue: When you press power button, you get the COBY logo on a black screen. nothing else.
I have tried to get to the reset screen, by pressing PWR & Vol-, no joy, PWR & Vol+, no joy
PWR & Vol- & Vol+, no joy.

I have seen other posts about using PWR & back button. The problem here is that until the tablet boots up, the three screen "Virtual" buttons in the lower left corner of the screen, don't appear.

I hooked up the tablet to my PC and it does not recognize it. I used the PWR & vol+ buttons and got a notification that new hardware had been found -M3 chip, The PC looked for the software and couldn't find it.

Question:
Where can I find software for this M3 chip OR does anyone else know of a way to get this tablet to boot.
I am told that the MID8065 is the same guts as the MID7065 and MID1065.

Waiting (patiently) for answers.

Many thanks for ANY help.

Hello rfuller, I'm moving your thread to the Coby Generation 4 forum for you, where more people familiar with that tablet are likely to join the discussion and try to help you.

Meanwhile, see if anything in Post #9 of this thread is helpful to you http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/android-tablet-q/62022-how-do-i-factory-reset-my-tablet.html. Be sure the tablet has a good charge and it's turned completely off.

Good luck!
