I accidentally left my hudl disconnected & switched on & it ran the battery flat. I re-charged it & switched on but its stuck on "powered by android". I've tried holding the on/off button and the volume button but I can't switch it off or find out where the battery is (looks like you can't open it). I'm going to see what happens when it eventually runs down again but has anyone else encountered this problem and what can I do to fix it?

Reset hole underneath, use a paperclip. I would hold it down for 2 seconds. If that doesn't work then try a longer period.

Near the vol button on the Hudl 1.


Hudl 2, there is no reset hole!

Apparently with the Hudl 2 you hold down the power button on it's own for 30 seconds.

Thee of my auntys have hudls. They all did exactly this after updating the software.

All of them came on eventually. One took over an hour.

I reset them all to factory and it never happened again but they do now take a few no outed to start up.

You can reset to factory without it starting by using this method
