Your probably not gonna like my answer but these devices are made to eventually fail. Google search the model number for factory reset options, however most of them do not work. The only solution I have come up with if a reset does not work is to exchange it for the same model and return it as defective. I know this may seem low, but as I said they are made to fail.
