Acer A100 Stuck on "Android loading screen"

[manixd]

i just got this tablet from a friend a few days ago and it has been stuck on the android logo since then. I have tried to manually flash the files from a microsd card. By pressing power and volume up key, it loads up the update.zip file and android gears are moving as usual, but at about 80% the gears stop but the installation finishes up. The tablet then restarts and would go back to the same android loading screen. am i doing something wrong? any help is appreciated. thanks

You mentioned pressing the power and volume buttons (I'm assuming simultaneously) and I'm curious as to why and what doing that same action would do on a tablet that isn't having the problem which you describe.

The main reason I ask is because the action you describe is quite similar to what is termed a "hard reset" for the iPhone (which is essentially a reboot procedure to get rid of tempo and crap files gunking things up).

I'm a brand new A100 owner (since BF) and still trying to figure things out.
