My son stepped on his and shattered the screen, it also powered up but was unusable. I ordered the replacement screen, and then I looked for a youtube video on how to replace the glass. It was pretty easy, I needed very small screwdrivers and a blow dryer to soften the adhesive of the old screen. They used a tool to separate the glass from the tablet that I didn't have, but I was able to make due. It was a cost effective solution for us.

You're going too have too take it completely apart to replace the screen. You can look upon YouTube a video that should show you step by step. I had already replacedthe screen on my phone and had a little kit with the tools to pry the devices apart (came with phone screen). This tablet screen doesn't come with any tools but you may be able too make do with simple items.

If you have the rca tablet, this is the only thing you'll need, as long as you could still see the regular screen underneath still working. There's a very good video on YouTube that shows exactly how to install this touch screen, I think it's called; RCA Tablet Glass Digitizer/Touchscreen Replacement, hope this helped

When I broke the screen on my tablet it still turned on but because the glass was shattered it would not respond and would eventually shut off. The warranty did not cover the screen and to have somebody look at it would have cost more than the replacement part (less than 10.00 USD.) I ordered the part from amazon replaced the part (after watching a diy repair video on YouTube) and it worked fine! Hoops this helps

Did you call and try return to manufacture? I wouldn't spent money to fix it, would return and get real tablet that kids can use and learn.

The tablet was a gift so I haven't used it. I asked my granddaughter about it and she said it did that to her too. At first she was happy with it then it just didn't work well if at all. We can't send it back because she cracked the screen! Sorry.

My chrome book was dropped by accident and basically the same thing happened :( when i took it to best buy they said the screen was cracked and that eventually the liquid will leak all over the screen and it will turn black. I bought the screen and my husband replaced it in less than 10 min... Looks better than the original screen too ;)

Hey there, I just had this same thing happen to my camera!!! The camera was not dropped or anything and it seemed to just appear out of the blue. One minute I am taking pictures and it looked fine, then I look down and the screen internally is cracked, the outside of the LCD does not have a scatch on it. I am about to send it off to Olympus to get a warrentyl repair, but could use any other instances of this happening as evidence that this is not my fault. Please let me know what you were able to get done.Thanks,Nick

the screen is very dark but maybe up on the screen on the right side there might show a lock I really can't tell. If it is locked how do I get it unlocked? Im not sure what is wrong with it but I do know the charger was broken it pulled apart when my daughter took it out. I got it to charge with another charger can barely see screen it is stuck on the language screen

Caity, I don't know if this will solve your problem, too, but my son-in-law was visiting tonight and he stuck a small pin-like object (I think it was a straightened out paper clip) into a small hole on the Cruz. The hole is located on the top of the tablet, between the power button and the charger port, and is marked "Reset." He said that with any luck, the pin should reset it. Voila! It worked perfectly. Everything seems to be working just fine now.

My tablet froze less than a year after I bought it. There is a reset hole. Try using a straight paper clip. Look for a very small hole and don, t push in too hard.

I am actually experiencing the same thing. I sent amazon customer service a message and I am waiting for a response. I think its a glitch in the tablet. I purchased 5 Tablets and only one of them is giving trouble.

Mine was broke from the first day! I went to the local fixing place, I was told this tablet is cheap, there is no part to replace it. I didn't have chance to use it. Sorry :-(

Greetings. Do you mean the Apad kid tablet? If it won't open, please keep charging. If it still doesn't open, please press the RESET button, which is located on the back of the tablet. Wait a few moments and then restart. If there is any further question, please feel free to contact us @ betterstuff.amazon@gmail.com

If you put it straight into the port and push a little bit it may "lock" it. It is not consistent with all of those tablets that my family has. It appears to be normal for it to be loose but you may have one that this trick works on. If you send it back you will get one exactly like it. :)

Same here, it was great whilst it lasted. I had no kids play with mine and never dropped it but the screen became unreadable after using it for 14 months. Was not worth it...

Hasn't happened to my parents. I think it happens when people try to pull the iPad out rather than slide it, which is the design of the tabs. I can certainly see them breaking if you tried to pry. Also, this could happen when it is dropped, which you really should try to avoid with your $500+ Device.

Our tablet locked the first day we got it, we tried everything but couldn't fix it. That was months ago. It's still locked. Sorry I couldn't help you.

Try the reset button on the back. These tablets are pretty terrible. All kinds of problems with ours. Good luck
