Nope.
The Tablet went away again. It totally locked up, drained the battery over night and would not do anything this morning. After pushing the ON button a zillion times I finally got the screen to light up only to see this.
Wait a minute, you can’t read the message. Here’s a closeup.
Well OK then, Mr. Wiz, be that way. Here are my options.
- Continue waiting for another day.
- Close it.
I decided to close it.
Nope. Neither of those buttons actually would do anything. So I did what any self-respecting Professional Software Engineer would to. I frantically poked at the ON button muttering (well OKthen, shouting) things like “shucks” and “darn”. It finally posted a box behind that box asking me if I wanted to turn it off. Sorry no photo. I was concentrating on saying “shucks and darn”.
However, I managed to fat-finger around the first non-functional modal dialog box to the other non-functional modal dialog box and got the blasted thing to turn off. It is now charging the battery, and when that is done, here is what I am going to do.
I am going to do the dreaded Factory Reset.
Take that, Mr. Wiz.
I have one question. Don’t you have something better to do than read about my tribulations with the Tablet?
If you are still interested, stay tuned. Otherwise, go have a nice breakfast.
