I have a 3 month old iCraig CLP285 Netbook with Android 4.1 that I really like.
Suddenly, it will not boot up. Finally got it started and there were major changes: all my email was gone as was data stored in Notebook app. My desktop photo was gone, but when I click on the album that contains the photo I want, it sends me back to the app page. Also, all my photos seem to have uploaded into Dropbox as a Camera Upload, even though I did not do it.
And, altho WiFi was turned on - it did not show this on the notification area.
Later that night when I tried to use my PC, the DSL had to be rebooted. Never had to do THAT in 5 years!
After much reading and about 6 attempts to start the unit, I got in and went to System recovery and did a factory reset. Little Andy had a blue gizmo twirling in his stomach, then it said it was going to reboot. After 15 minutes, screen was still scrolling green through Jelly Bean so I hit reset button on bottom of unit. It went into recovery mode again and now shows Andy on his back with a red triangle and exclamation point.
This is a Netbook - not a tablet or phone. I do NOT have vol up, vol down buttons.
Any suggestions?
 
Father in law has this, got infected with some kind of virus. To get into safe mode, power the device on while holding down the menu button. Its between CTL and Alt on the right side of spacebar. Hold for a long time until Android comes up on safe mode.

Then go to settings to reset the device: Apps, Settings, Personal, Backup and Reset, Factory data reset.

10 minutes later and it worken!
