Resetting the tablet does not erase any system software updates you’ve downloaded or any files on your microSD card, such as music or photos. If you mark the checkbox - Reserve the content of internal storage before touching RESET TABLET, any files stored on your tablet’s storage will not be erased. If you reset the tablet in this way, you’re prompted to re-enter the same kind of information as when you first started Android.
When you are unable to power on your tablet, there is another way to perform a factory data reset by using hardware keys. Press the Volume
Up key and the Power key at same time until the screen lights up.
