So just opened the packaging for the second one I bought and the Sansui tamper stickers are both cut and when I turn the tablet on I get greeted by the account "itsp" and need to put in a password!

A Tip

My tablet became very unresponsive and windows opened and closed at random - was at the point of a re-install of Win10

I switched off the tablet, removed SD Card and restarted - everything was normal and no funny behavior

Switched off again, reseated the same SD Card and started up - now back to perfect and SD Card works fine

So before you do refresh or re-installs, check your SD Card

PS: I have an ADATA 32gig Micro Class 10

EDIT
The problem returned as described above

Decided to back up SD Card that was NTFS formatted
Formatted back to FAT32 and restored all back up data

Now working fine for a couple of hours - will report back if this last

Hold on. If you refreshed how did you keep your drivers? I'm assuming they'd also be deleted.
 
Sorry if it did not come across clear - I did nothing - was going to do the Refresh / Re-install if problem persisted - only removed and reseated SD Card during start ups

But thanx for pointing out a REFRESH will destroy the drivers ;-)

Cool, thanks.

Upgraded mine to Windows 10 last night and chose to keep everything during the upgrade but the drivers got "lost". I was able to install the drivers by going to device manager and making it search for the drivers online.

It still doesn't output to an external display though (Using Intel GPU drivers) :(

Quite slow. I wonder if it can fully utilise the speed of the Strontium 32GB 466x card on Takealot - I'm looking at getting that.

It should make a difference I think.
I believe this process i followed may have affected the entire process though.

Open Disk Management (from my Start menu search, it shows up as "Create and format hard disk partitions").

Optional: ensure that your SD card is formatted to NTFS. As the card will be a permanent fixture and cross-platform compatibility doesn't matter, might as well go with a more modern file system. Furthermore, this wlll enable the next optional step directly below.

Optional (only possible if you chose to format the SD card to NTFS): select the partition on your SD card, and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths". Remove the drive letter and add a new mount point to an empty NTFS folder. You can stick this somewhere onto your main drive, I chose "C:\Media Container". This way, the SD card won't show up anymore as a separate drive anymore, but can still be accessed by the system for the virtual drive.

Under the Action menu at the top, select "Create VHD". Browse to your SD card location ("C:\Media Container" if you changed its mount point to what I suggested above). Create a VHD here... I called mine "Media Store". I also changed the virtual hard disk format to VHDX for its resilience to power failure events, though I have no actual insight into this beyond what Windows described it as. I stayed with the recommended dynamic expanding disk type, with the thought that this could be useful if I get a bigger SD card in the future.

Right click on the new disk (on the left, now on its partition), and choose initialize. I went with a GPT partition table, as it is a newer design and presumably better, though I have no other insight on this. After it is initialized, right click on the new unallocated partition, and choose "New Simple Volume". Follow the wizard, allocating all space to the new partition, assigning it the drive letter you would like your new hard drive to use (probably D:), and formatting it to NTFS. If all went well, you should now see your new hard drive available in Windows Explorer.

Now, the trick to bring it all together is to set up Windows so that the drive is mounted when the computer boots, as it's no fun having to go into Disk Management each time your computer starts to mount the drive. To do this, you'll need to create a script for mounting it, and then using Task Scheduler to execute the script on boot. I found a really good guide here, which I'll summarize below.

First create a text file wherever you like, named whatever you want - this will become your script. I named mine "Mount Script.txt" and placed it in "C:\Media Container" with my virtual hard drive file. Open it up, and paste in the below, with the path and drive letter edited to match your info:

select vdisk file="C:\Media Container\Media Store.vhdx"
attach vdisk
assign letter=D
Open Task Scheduler under Computer Management, which comes up in my Start Menu as "Schedule tasks". On the right pane, select "Create Task".

The key points are:

On the General tab, enter a name of some sort for your task, I called mine "Mount SD card". Under "When running the task, use the following user account", change it to SYSTEM by typing it in the object name box. Also, it may be important to set "Configure for" to your operating system, I'm not really sure and a quick search online didn't really explain what this setting does.
On the Triggers tab, click New, and set "Begin the task" to "At startup".
On the Actions tab, click New, and set "Program/script" to "diskpart" (without the quotations). Under "Add arguments" paste in the following with the path set to your script's path: /s "C:\Media Container\Mount Script.txt".
On the Conditions tab, clear the checkbox for "Start the task only if your computer is on AC power".
You can also go through the options and see if there's anything else you'd like to set, but those should be the essentials.

And that's it! Next time your restart, you should see your storage space on your SD card being mounted as a hard drive.

Definitely a used one which I find pathetic from their side to be honest. You can't sell a clearly used item as new and get away with it.

Anyway, I called them yesterday and they said they will get someone to call me back today to arrange for a new one to be sent and then collect the old used one.

Out of interest, do companies actually think they can get away with selling items as "new" when the box and item are clearly used etc?

I first contacted the one on the slip from the store it was sent from (I ordered online and they sent them from a store in JHB to me in Cape Town). I was then told to call the national call centre which I did and they said someone will get hold of me in the next 24 hours to arrange collection and delivery of new one. Will wait and see if I hear anything.
