This black screen thing has happened to me as well. I have accidentally hit the hibernate button and all of a twitch the screen went black, as Gridwalker explained carefully above. Now I have sent an email to the seller to see what he might comment on this. From what I am reading here, I can say that I have no cance to have some sort of reply, though in that case I shall report everything to Ebay Client Protection to fix them up. Now I shall try to drain off the battery so that I shall get the desktop screen back as explained in the forum. If you have any further suggetions please let me know.
I've got exactly the same issue. Changing google account hoping to get Android Market to work, and it reboot itself while attempting to connect to the Market. Now the device wouldn't work properly. I've tried draining the battery completely until pressing power button doesn't do anything at all, but after recharging it it still behaves the same. The problem I am getting is I can see the initial lock screen but can't get past it and the screen goes to blank after showing the initial lock screen. Mine is a flytouch Epad which has the same spec as the original poster, but mine has a silver plastic back instead, also 1.7.4 with 256MB RAM 2GB flash.

I ordered two of these devices from Euogo.com, and whilst one is working fine (for now!) the other now fails to turn on. I`m not sure if one of my other family members 'hibernated' it by mistake...now when you try to turn it on, the green power LED comes on and thats it. Another press, and the light goes out. Nothing from the screen. Long press of the power button does nothing either. I don't really want the hassle of sending it back to china, but what choice have I got?
I have left it 'on' for 10+ hours now...the green light is still on. Is there any way to disconnect the battery on these, or perform some 'hard' reset?

There is a video on youtube of a guy who modded the heck out of his, to the point of ADDING another battery, awesome mods BTW, but if you watch his video its very easy to see that the battery is NOT meant to be a customer serviceable device. You must take the case off (which in some other posts has resulted in screen cracks. HOWEVER, if you did want to go that far you could always install your own reset switch. WOW, the more I type the more I wish I had one to mod!.

I just updated my generic flytouch and now the power button wont work. I really need help.
MAYBE a bit out of object, but a bit similar problem; I have an Android Tab as I can judge identical to the photo's in this thread, and have from day 1 a strange problem:
although the device enters hibernate without any problems, after a while (10 min -2 hours) it wakes up without any reason; meaning the green LED goes on, and the screen stays dark. If I push the power button, device turns on as normal (from standby mode); but as standby mode sucks the battery, I'm quite unhappy with this situation.
I have tried to uninstall all my 3rd party software, to enter airplane mode before hibernation, use a taskkiller (actually differents).. no results, hibernation mode still keeps spontaneously waking up..
Anybody with similar problem; or, hopefully with a solution, please??

I have the same problem.
"when you try to turn it on, the green power LED comes on and thats it. Another press, and the light goes out. Nothing from the screen. Long press of the power button does nothing either. "
I don´t now what I do... if I put sd card with room, nothing is made... screen black and green light on only..

I've been searching forums like this for what seems like weeks and there's always someone who mentions fixing their problem without any details about how. Post a link to the roms you claim to have found. I don't want to start a big whoop or anything but the point of these are to help right? I hope I'll be able to figure out exactly what kind of device i have. I've been close but mine doesn't have the LED light I keep reading about. It says 2.0 on start up when it's actually 1.6. Just about everything says generic except for the WMT2.0 thing. Give out some info when you say you found a solution....it just might be helpful to someone else who is in my shoes.
did you format the sd card, simple but easy to forget, mine now works because I did. Copy files from the sd card to pc first so you can paste them back after formatting. sorry if I am being basic here but not everyone is a pc wizz.
There is a tiny hole to put a pin in to reset your pad if needed, mine freezes a lot so it gets a lot of use :-(
I have exactly teh same e-pad and would like to flash the unit. I loaded a bunch of prgrams and one of them hung the android. after restarting it takes a long time to load. Eventually it does but comes up with a slide to unlock screen which then goes no further even once i punch in my right code. The program is called unlocker 2 but seems to not work propally. Please help on how to flash
