It is dead easy. just get a paperclip and open one side of it, now look on the side of the 97 there is small hole between the USB port and the flash sd card, insert the paperclip end an hold until the system resets itself.
All will come back to life after pressing the power button..
No data wil be lost, I have done it lots of times.

SOURCE: Brand new archos arnova 10 tablet. It is stuck on

To hard reset a tablet, hold the power button down until it shuts off then press it to turn back on. Should take about 5 - 10 seconds for the device to power off.

SOURCE: I received a new Archos 43 16 GB internet tablet

Can't exactly help you, but I'm in the same situation. I got a crack across the middle of the screen on my 43 while it was in my pocket. It seems like this might be a problem with the gen 8 tablets, but Archos is currently refusing to consider it defective.

How do i unfreeze my nook?

Try a soft reset: press and hold the power button for twenty seconds, release, then press and hold it again for two seconds to turn the Nook on again.

If it is still unresponsive, you may have a broken digitizer (touch screen) or other hardware problem.

How can you download pictures from camera to tablet

Plug your camera into your tablet's usb port and transfer them, take the memory card out of the camera and put it into the tablet's memory card slot if they're the same size, transfer them by bluetooth, or download them to a computer, then send them to your tablet from the computer.

The screen has frozen in e mail and i cannot switch off or move to another function or do anything

If your Samsung GT-P1000 Galaxy TAB is frozen and unresponsive, press and hold [POWER ] for 8-10 seconds. The device will reboot automatically.
If this does not solve the problem, perform a factory data reset. In Menu
mode, select Settings ? Privacy ? Factory data reset ? Reset phone ? Erase everything
