My Iconia B1 has completely frozen, and has been like that for 8-9 hours. How can I fix this?

I was playing Minecraft: Pocket Edition on my tablet when I came across a terrain feature that I thought looked interesting. I promptly pressed the key combination for a screenshot (PWR + Vol. DOWN) and was greeted by the shutter sound that it should make. The animation was not present, however. I then discovered that the app was completely frozen. I tried pressing the HOME button, but it proved ineffective. No inch of the touchscreen yielded any result. However, my music kept playing (Spotify). I left it overnight plugged in, but nothing has changed since last night. I tried every button combination possible for a minute each, but nothing worked.

If you could help me, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

If your system is still frozen, you may try using the hardware reset pinhole on your tablet, to see if it will allow your system to boot.

I would suggest contacting Acer Technical Support in your region, as they will be able to do additional troubleshooting, and determine if the system needs repair.

i have got the same problem with my ICONIA B1. i changed my live wallpaper n the moment i set the wallpaper my screen freezed. i touched n tapped everywhere on sreen but it dint respond. then after some minutes the screen went black. i thought its got switched off but then i noticed that it is glowing. the screen is on but its showing black colour screen. it is not switching off either. i read above that someone suggested to use the reboot pin hole. but how to do that? can you direct me how to reboot the tablet. what is to be inserted into tht pinhole? should i use a pin?

Contact Acer Service. You're still under warranty and thid sounds like the perfect place to use it. Don't fool around with potentially defective batteries.
