Tablet is frozen, can't shut it off - Archos 101 Internet Tablet 16GB 10.1" Android Tablet (1671641000) PC Notebook

Hold your finger on the on/off button for about 15 to 20 seconds . That should shut down the tablet and reset it. I have had 3 tablets and everyone has reset from a frozen screen that way. Afterwards you should run your anti virus program and bolter to clean up what caused the traffic jam.

Depending on why your tablet is frozen, pressing the "Power" button -- sometimes called the "Sleep/Wake" button -- might turn it off. Some tablets give you the option to restart or shut down; if you have this choice, pick the option to shut down the tablet completely. If pressing the button once doesn't do the trick, hold it down for 15 to 20 seconds -- this often forces the tablet into shut-down mode.

Remove battry

Seems like the digitizer isn't working anymore u may wanna get ur tablet examined but to quickly turn off some tablets is to press and hold the power key till it shuts off and not lock the screen

You can try doing a hard reset by holding the power button and the home button down simultanously until the device completely shuts off and the Apple logo appears.

Hope that helps!
