Ematic FunTab 3 Troubleshooting

The tablet’s home, back or multitasking buttons are unresponsive or do not appear.

If the home and multitasking buttons appear but do not function, your device’s display is frozen. Turn off the device while holding down the power button; this puts the device in deep sleep. After 30 seconds, restart the device. If that does not work, use the reset button on the back of the FunTab 3.

If the home and multitasking buttons don’t appear, go to settings, from settings select Repair & Formatting, from Repair & Formatting select Startup Wizard and follow the prompts. The home, back, and multitasking buttons on your device should return.

If after completing the above steps the home and multitasking buttons still do not appear, then your device’s software may be defective. To solve this, you can either replace the motherboard or contact the company for replacement software.

The tablet will not increase or decrease volume when using the volume buttons.

When pressing the volume buttons, your FunTab 3 does not display any animation which indicates the volume has been increased or decreased, then the plastic cover of the volume buttons has detached from the device.

Charging ports may be physically damaged by the use of an incorrect charger, water, normal wear and tear, or anything that could have caused physical damage to the port. Use the Motherboard Replacement Guide if this is the problem.

The charging port is not functioning correctly or has broken loose in some way.

Dropping, or using an incorrect charger can damage the charging port. If you are using the correct charger and the device is not charging, your charging port has been damaged.

This action will flatten out the end of the cable and help it make a working connection with your tablet again.

If the charging port has detached from the motherboard the soldering connections are no longer holding the charging port in place. The port must be re-soldered inside the tablet. You should refer to the Soldering Guide and Motherboard Replacement Guide on iFixit.
