Got it! Thanks for the neat pictures. I'll do some more looking.
I have this bookmarked
http://www.androidtablets.net/threads/how-do-i-factory-reset-my-tablet.62022/
but there is nothing about your brand there.
I keep looking to see if anyone adds new info to the thread.

Is this your tablet?
http://www.dealsplus.com/Tablet_deals/p_supersonic-sv-10-tablet-10-inch-8gb-android-4-1
because when I search for sharpview sv-10, I keep seeing the company is actually Supersonic.
I went to the Supersonic site and all they have is in sv models is sv-7. I was hoping to get some sort of manual.

I saw at one place that if you get stuck at the android icon, you are to hold the power button for 45 seconds to get a menu. Don't know if that will work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the Tablet turned off, hold the power button and the pinhole reset button together for about 10 seconds. When the screen comes on, press the reset button once and the system recovery menu should come on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hold down the dedicated home button then hold down the power button. Release the power button but not the home button. And then long press the power button. It boots right into recovery.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Press and hold Power and reset button.
2. When screen appears, release reset button but keep holding power button.
3. When you see Android Andy on his back, release power button.
4. Do nothing and after a minute or two, the tablet will turn off by itself.
5. Press and hold Power button and insert pin into reset port but remove immediately.
6. System recovery menu should appear. You can then release the power button.
7. Use the paperclip in the reset port to scroll through the menu options by inserting and removing. (I suspect it will move down one line each time you insert the paperclip).
8. When you are at the
wipe data/factory reset, press the power button.
9. Everything should now say No except one item. Select the yes item (I assume using the reset port to go down to that line again). When it is highlighted, press the power button.
10. The wiping process starts.
11. Reboot system now should be highlighted in the menu. Press power button to select and your tablet should now be working.

Last: this site has some ideas, particularly with tablets that have no volume buttons.
