Nexus 7 wont boot.

[Michaeljcox24]

I've been given a Nexus 7 to have a look at by a female colleague at work. The only info I could get was her son had 'installed a screensaver and now it wont switch on'

It boots past the 'x' but then hangs on a page that is the license agreement to what I can only assume is the software she is referring to. 'Accept' doesn't do anything, and the page is just frozen.

have tried holding down the down volume button and power on, to go into recovery mode but all I get is the android robot lying on its back with a red exclamation mark and an errror message.

Any ideas?

you need to have the usb cable plugged in to enter recovery mode, then you should be able to recover it.

you have to do a restore mate ...

Well he knows that, hence saying he tried to enter recovery mode. The problem he is having is a bug with said recovery mode, needing the USB cable to be plugged into device and laptop/desktop for it to load into recovery. Other wise, like he said - you just get the !android guy.
