In the lower left corner of the screen, there is an icon that looks like 2 rectangles on top of one another (next to the email icon). Pick this icon then a list of all the open apps will be displayed. To close an app, hold your finger on the picture and a menu will pop up on the side, select "Remove from list".

Tap on the screen a few times. It should go back to normal size. If not,you may have to reset the tablet. There is a very tiny hole on the backside. Use a paper clip or straight pin and push lightly.

I can't tell u why this is happening. I am having an issue with mines as well. The touchscreen on the corners no longer function.I have considered taking it to a Best Buy for inspection. Not happy with this purchase. I no longer use it.

Are you able to see a few shapes at the bottom left of the screen? If you're able to push the Iittle house shape and slide the screen and look for the Settings button. It will be on the page where you can Power off the tablet. Under Security you have a choice if you want to set a password with numbers or letters. There's no way the tablet sets its own password. Sounds like someone got a hold of your tablet. There's no possible way to do this in error. Good luck! BTW, emailing the company with any questions will get you no response unfortunately.

It is a tension clamp (spring loaded), so just pull the clamp apart and remove the tablet.

looking more closely at my tablet I realize that it has a pre-installed screen protector to which you are referring . So disregard my comments which no doubt you have already done. This means that I had 2 screen protectors on my tablet which I had replaced as the on off switch or something beyond stopped working...dead tablet. I like the tablet a lot so I hope this one will last. Seems quality control is now 'return and replace.''

How do you hide the touchscreen turn-off display button. When the off button is displayed on the screen and you accidentally brush against it I turns the touch screen back on and you take many unwanted pics as you keep brushing against the now turned back on screen

Mr. Sanchez, You can turn off the screen. Use the menu/backlight key. Press and hold for 3 seconds to turn it off and press and hold for 3 seconds to turn it back on. Top of page 4 in the instructions. Good luck.

Return it, I had the same problem with this tablet....turned it on once, set it up, let the battery run down, charged it overnight and then when I went to turn it back on it wouldn't turn on. I did notice that the little light that indicates charging next to the screen would turn green when I turned it on and if I were to turn it off it would turn red. This indicated to me that it was charging but something was wrong with the screen or a connection somewhere. I know it's frustrating but I would just return it and get a refund and purchase a different one! Good luck!!

The tablet doesn't have a screen. The surface is there for you to put your tablet pen on, which controls the cursor on your monitor.

I had the same issue and what I was told was that Windows 7 was not really built to be touch screen. I used the keyboard doc before my tablet became a bookmark and loved it. I would suggest either upgrading to Windows 8 or investing in a keyboard.

You can switch easily between the standard Windows display the the Touchscreen with just a touch or click.To disable 'touch screen'.. . :Enter "Pen and Touch" in the search box Select the "Touch" tab Uncheck the checkbox that says "Use your finger as an input device" Click on "Apply" and close.

You need a needle and there is a small hole at the back. Gently push the needle or small push pin in the hole and hold it for at least 5 seconds. This should reset the tablet. Hope this helps.

Yeah. There's a notification area in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. The 1st option is Airplane Mode, 2nd is Screen Lock and 3rd is Notifications. Flick or tap the on switch of the Screen Lock to orient your tablet in either position, landscape (left to right) or portrait (up and down). Flick or tap it off when done. Tap anywhere on the screen (EXCEPT) the Notification Area to close it. BTW, I should know: I have a Coby Kyros... a MID8048 model, but the OS is still the same (Android 4.0., I.C.S.). Hope this helps ya.

the button between the call and end buttons should launch the browser. if not... go to Settings/Options/Screen Keyboard and scroll down there will be a "front convenience key opens" option. You can change what is opened by changing the options there. Good Luck

Many times I don't use the touch screen. I just use the keyboard and mouse. Never looked into actually deactivating it.
