Tablets are becoming increasingly popular with people of all ages, and are a great way to stay connected with friends and family, or to keep up with your favorite hobbies. However, sometimes things don’t always go as planned, and you may need to do a reset on your tablet. Resetting a tablet can help to restore it to its original settings and help to resolve any issues you may be having. Here are some tips on how to do a reset on your tablet.
Performing a Soft Reset
A soft reset is the most common type of reset and can be used to restore the tablet to its factory settings. This can help to resolve any minor issues that you may be having with the device, such as an app that is not working properly. To perform a soft reset, you will need to press and hold the power button for 10 seconds, or until the device turns off. Once the device is off, you can then press the power button again to turn it back on. This will restore the tablet to its factory settings.
Performing a Hard Reset
A hard reset is a more drastic type of reset and should only be used when a soft reset has not worked. This type of reset will erase all of the data on the tablet, including any apps or files that you may have stored on the device. To perform a hard reset, you will need to press and hold the power and volume down buttons at the same time for 10 seconds, or until the device turns off. Once the device is off, you can then press the power button again to turn it back on. This will restore the tablet to its factory settings and erase all of the data on the device.
Performing a Factory Reset
A factory reset is the most drastic type of reset and should only be used when a hard reset has not worked. This type of reset will completely erase all of the data on the tablet, including any apps or files that you may have stored on the device. It will also restore the tablet to its original factory settings. To perform a factory reset, you will need to:
- Press and hold the power and volume down buttons at the same time for 10 seconds, or until the device turns off.
- Once the device is off, press and hold the power and volume up buttons at the same time for 10 seconds, or until the device turns back on.
- The tablet will then boot into recovery mode. From here, you can select the “wipe data/factory reset” option and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reset.
Once the reset is complete, the tablet will be restored to its original factory settings and all of the data on the device will be erased.
Conclusion
Resetting a tablet can help to restore it to its original settings and help to resolve any issues you may be having. There are three types of resets that can be performed on a tablet – a soft reset, a hard reset, and a factory reset. It is important to remember that performing a reset will erase all of the data on the tablet, so it is important to make sure that any important data is backed up before performing a reset.
