circles, I can't help you with that, but I hope you don't mind if I ask a question, and bend your ear for a minute.

Can you tell me why you are returning?

I ordered the LePan on advance order to ship the 24th. Well, I got it about a week and a half ago and the box had been opened. I'm afraid (and a little bit mad) that I got a return.

I haven't even plugged it in or anything at this point, trying to decide to try it or just return it.

Hi, betteb......I have two other tablets...a Nook and a Samsung...thought I would like a 3rd but then felt I really don't need it...too many other expenses this time of year for me...

I'm sorry you received a return....I was sent a returned jacket two weeks ago...it was clearly laundered and shrunk.....I sent it back ...

I have received returns on clothing too. I'm just afraid it's a dud, already returned by someone else.

I understand that...the returns department just send out anything with no regard to its condition....

I played around with my tablet and low and behold....I found out how to clear it out myself...I did it twice to make sure....lol....its now on my porch waiting for the postman to pick it up...

Good luck with whatever decision you choose to do with you tablet...not sure if sending it back and asking for another would work.....however you should not be charged s&h because it isn't new....

I had to return my La Pan tablet my Son In Law set it up for me but it was locking up so I returned it for another one but we didn't clear everything from it I hope I didn't make a mistake by not clearing it any advice on that even though it is to late it is gone and I already received the replacement.

There was something wrong with the operating system on the one I returned

From the app drawer, choose "settings". From there, go to "backup and reset". Choose "factory data reset". OR. . stick the end of a paper clip in the little hole at the top between the charging port and the headphone jack.

not to scare you....I returned a tablet to ShopHQ last year...didn't take my info out...and not long afterward someone used my c.c. to the tune of almost a thousand dollars...lesson learned for me....that's why I wanted to clean this one out....

thankfully my cc company called me and stopped the transaction..and closed out my account and reopened a new one for me....

keep your eyes on your card...

Most generic android tablets are pretty standard. I have a M97 (made by LePan).

If you click on settings, scroll down the list - there should be a "backup & reset" tab - click on that - there should be another tab in there - factory data reset. Use that - it erases all data on the tablet that you have input. Even My Kindle Fire HDX has a reset tab.

A lot easier today than reformatting the hard drive of a computer. Good luck.
