Take it to a repair shop and have it factory reset ( all files will be lost)
next time install a real anti virus security system
report the scammer to the police

SOURCE: my android tablet is "frozen". Will turn on but

has anything been deleted from it when it has been plugged into a computer or has anything been deleted from the device itself from its root directory? if not and its gone like that by itself, it could be corrupted software or a missing root file which is usually bad at first, now what i know about some tablets is if it wont work theres a recovery file usually internally but this is in some tablets only that ive read about, i also have one but havent needed to try to restore it and it can be done from an engineering mode, this is possable by pressing the power button and another button like the home button at the same time once the unit is off untill it turns back on with options, but as for some models im not sure of but i will have to look this up at some stage as i am working on tablets at this time so unless you know what you are doing i wouldnt attempt it, once i have gotten through some tablets ill be able to give a better resolution on this subject with others. the advice ive given wont work for all as pressing power and home will start different options up on different tablets and versions.

SOURCE: I HAVE A PANDIGITALSTAR ANDROID TABLET WHEN I TURN IT ON IT STAYS ON THE WHITE SCREEN AND SAYS PANDIGITAL WITH THE BLUE DESIGN BUT I HAVE NO ICONS AND WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTONS AT THE BOTTOM NOTHING HA

had same problem. I figured it out. While pressing the home key on the bottom of the tablet, press the on/off button until a black screen appears with green words on the side, which says upgrading...please wait...wait. It should take you to the Pandigital screen with a small bar underneath it with green going across. It should work.

SOURCE: have a white screen on tablet can' turn off nor on pandigital

Very gently unplug the battery cable for two minutes.. I used a pair of tweezers and worked it out. Plugged it back in and it is fine. What a relief. I have read that if it goes to sleep while plugged in via usb, it freezes? Don't know. Just be careful when pulling the battery!

I think i have been hacked my fb app has disappeared and i cannot get into my page

Hi, Unfortunately there's lots of scammers and hackers on Facebook, The link below is a YouTube page full of videos showing scammers on Facebook, Take care........ CHEERS..
facebook scammers YouTube
Also this is something that needs sharing.........
Hackers gained entry to Facebook's internal corporate network for several months, with access to hundreds of the social network's employee usernames and passwords.
The hackers, which were actively exploiting Facebook's network in July and September last year and possibly as recently as February this year, were discovered by a security researcher perform testing on Facebook's corporate network.
Having discovered seven security vulnerabilities with Facebook's corporate tools, including a file transfer service, Devcore security researcher Orange Tsai found that at least one hacker, possibly two, had compromised Facebook and were operating within its corporate network.
Tsai said: "While collecting vulnerability details and evidences for reporting to Facebook, I found some strange things on web log.
"The hacker created a proxy on the credential page to log the credentials of Facebook
employees. These logged passwords were stored under web directory for the hacker to use [collect] every once in a while."
According to Tsai, the logged Facebook employee credentials could have given the hackers access to email accounts, Facebook's virtual private network and other company tools. Facebook user data is stored separately to its corporate network; it is unknown whether the right Facebook employee credentials could have given the hackers access to Facebook user data.
Tsai said: "At the time I discovered these, there were around 300 logged credentials dated between 1-7, from 1 February, mostly '@fb.com' and '@facebook.com'. Upon seeing it I thought it was a pretty serious security incident."
The testing - a series of attempts by security researchers to find and report holes in a site or service's cyber security - was conducted as part of Facebook's Bug Bounty, which sees the social network pay people who find and disclose vulnerabilities to the company.
Facebook was alerted to the hack on 5 February by Tsai. The company launched an internal investigation, which concluded on 20 April, allowing Devcore to publish the details of the hack.
Commenting on Hacker News, a Facebook security team member called Reginaldo said: "On this case, the software we were using is third party. As we don't have full control of it, we ran it isolated from the systems that host the data people share on Facebook. We do this precisely to have better security.
"We determined that the activity Orange detected was in fact from another researcher who participates in our bounty program. Neither of them were able to compromise other parts of our infra-structure."
Facebook has not responded to request for comment.

Why does my pandigital 8 android 2.3 not want to connect to wifi

This can happen when you are using a new wireless security authentication and a older device such as 2.3

We would suggest two thing
1. No Reset button,1)You have to press power and volumen up @ same time and realese power when turn on.2)presspower and volume up and select wipe.

2. going to a different type of security on your router to see if you have success.

Pandigital is locked

Is there some keys that it requires or not when you try to unlock it? If not, it's easy to fix, just slide it, it will unlock. If so, contact supplier for tech help.
