Screen frozen in striped pattern, cannot access menus or apps.

I got the Ellipsis 8 a week ago, and yesterday the screen froze in a striped color pattern that will not go away even if it's turned off. How do I fix this?

gabrielized,


That is definitely odd and we want to make sure your tablet is working as it should. Since this has started have there been any other changes to it such as new apps, app updates, software updates or even damage? To be sure, are you powering the device off completely by pressing the power button and selecting the "Power Off" button?

I was using the power off button. I took it to the Verizon store, and wanted to return it and get that second line off my bill. They insisted that I must have done something to break the screen. I did not . Instead they gave me names of local repair shops.  They told me if they tried to take it in under warranty and it was determined I damaged it,I would be billed  the full retail price.

I had this tablet 6 days before this happened. I was just trying to go from email to a Web link, clicked on the link, and this happened.

So I do not trust Verizon to be honorable about this.  What recourse do I have now?

I was told I had to get it fixed by geek squad at my cost. Can't I send it to you for repair?
