Lenovo Tab M8 (HD) worked after following this to factory reset:

Then the instructions above.

I note the following:

- On the ‘brief’ display it’s stuck in the off centre view and the top right button that normally flicks between centre and off-centre doesn’t do anything. **Edit:** Since Resolved, rebooted Venus Rasp Pi v3.50 and fixed.

- The display brightness is very bright and stuck on 87% would be really good if we could lower that.

- There is a thin white line on the very right edge of the screen from top to bottom in all menus (brief/overview/settings) can’t make it go away.

Otherwise very neat thanks!
