The first way

If the reason for the freeze lies in a software failure, you will need to perform a number of such actions:

Press and do not release the power button for a long time. If this procedure does not lead to anything, you need to find a small depression (thin hole) on the sides of the device, where you will need to insert a thin needle, the end of a paper clip, and a pin. The device will start to reboot.
You need to wait for the tablet to load.
After downloading, you need to call the "Settings" menu, then select the "Privacy" items. In some models, this item is called "Restore and Reset".
All settings must be reset.

After all the performed manipulations, the device will start to reboot, and the settings will become standard. Before performing all the described manipulations, you must connect the network equipment. This is necessary so that the tablet has a charge throughout the reboot. And this can take a decent amount of time. If you allow the tablet to turn off, it may need to be flashed, which will require an investment.

Second way

If the Reset button does not work, you must use other reboot options. However, they work exclusively on Chinese gadgets. It comes from the toughest forced reboot procedure - Hard reset... But in this case, the self-loaded data will disappear without the right to restore. Return to factory settings. To complete the procedure, you should:

Remove the card and sim card from the tablet.
Press the volume control and the power button at the same time.

Sometimes there are situations when the smartphone freezes and does not respond to keystrokes.

In this case, you just need to reboot it. But how to do this if the phone is not listening at all? Let's figure it out. The solution to this problem is very simple - hard reboot... It can be done in two ways.

Hold down the power button

You must simultaneously hold down the volume down key and the power button. Keep them for 10-15 seconds. The smartphone should turn off and then turn on.

Pull out the battery

This method works flawlessly, but only for devices with removable batteries. Just remove the cover and slide out the battery. Wait a couple of minutes and then put the battery back in and turn on the phone.

Some tablet models have special button RESET, which is responsible for emergency reboot. Finding her is pretty easy. Examine the tablet carefully - the RESET button must be signed, it is difficult to confuse it with something else.

You will need any thin object to reboot. For example, a paper clip or a needle. Carefully press the RESET button with this object. Don't let go of it for 10 seconds. The tablet should restart.

This way you can quickly reboot almost any frozen device. If none of these methods help, contact the service center.
