Hi, 

I have the arnova familypad and have recently experienced trouble with it. One day it simply would not start up and went into the arnova boot loop (as mentioned by others). I managed to get round this by simply doing a hard reset by holding the volume down and power button. The device then seemed to work fine for a while.

I then went to install an app from the android market (some writing app that was quite large) and although it did sucessfully install when I came to open it took forever and eventually the device went to the encryption failed screen

I then turned off the device and tried to restart it but now all that happens is that the arnova logo appears (not the boot loop as previously) and I cannot access the hard reset screen like I could earlier.

Is there anyway that I can fix my device.

Also I tried connecting the tablet to the computer and although it will charge through this the tablet cannot be seen through devices and thus am unable to see the files of the device.

Thanks,

Ash
