Make sure that the tablet is totally powered off. Press & hold both the UP and DOWN volume buttons at the same time.
Press and hold the power button until the tablet buttons light up. It will take a minute to happen, but when they do immediately let go of the power button ONLY. Keep holding down both the UP and DOWN volume buttons. You only have a second to do this before the tablet will continue boot up as normal. If that happens start with step 1 again.
After a few seconds of holding down both volume keys the screen will show the Vizio logo. Then the logo will change to a TRIANGLE with an exclamation mark.
Now let go of the volume buttons.
Tap the home button to pop up the boot recovery menu. Follow the instructions to reset your tablet. Pressing the up/down volume buttons allow you to scroll up and down the list. A quick press on the power button will accept your selection.
Wait for the tablet to come up.

It did not work for me. After turning it off and holding the volume buttons, I pressed and held the power button. However nothing lit up. A buzzing/vibration did occur and I let go of the power button but nothing else happened and the thing became unresponsive. Holding the power button down for a long while would turn it back on but no solution. I tried holding the power button down longer but nothing happened except the unit became unresponsive...

Worked perfectly for me, but my husband had tried about 30 times and couldn’t get the triangle to pop up lol. I had it immediately the first time I tried- literally in seconds. Got it restored and is working just like new!!

Thank you!
