I bought one of these cheapy android pads, box says 'MID & E-book', because I liked the pad concept and wanted an Android device for development. Well I only had it a week and did a full system reset but bypassed the screen calibration. That was stupid as evidently the calibration data is all 0's. Meaning anywhere I touch on the screen it results in 0,0 (the house icon in the upper left lights up). Needless to say this makes the device useless as is. I discovered this site while looking for a solution, because opening it up and pulling the battery did not work. One solution I can see now is to reflash it and this site does offer firmware. I still think it is bad programming to allow a user to bypass screen calibration if it absolutely requires it to be used. But I'm just glad it is fixable.
Greetings and how I virtually bricked my device already!

If you find a solution would you please post back to me? I like the little tablet and want to work with it.All I'm getting is the home screen. Any reset doesn't work. I can only make the home button in the upper left corner flash.Please help - and one more favor, please - I'm NOT a geek with computers (geophysics, yes, computers no) so please speak using plain talk. I really appreciate in advance your understanding with 0's and 1's!Barb

Sounds like you should flash your unit again and start over this time calibrating it 
There is a different way of doing it but a bit more technical, not hard but still.BTW, what is your tablet I know you said its a 'MID & E-book' but what screen size etc a pictures here would be good to identify it. To me it sounds like an Eken M001 with that on the box.
