Factory reset question

I need to know if there is anyway that you can force a factory reset (something along the lines of a certain combination of button presses) on a Dell Venue Pro 11 (7139) aside from the screen prompts through Windows.  I applied some recent driver updates and now the screen is not displaying anything so I need to find a way to reset the unit.

    I Have spent days searching for a way with no luck. Mine lost power and when I finally got it going the drive came up Bitlocker secured saying there was an unexpected change in bios. Yes, it returned to the original date and maybe original defaults. Did not even know bitlocker was active on the machine. anyway.........

    If you are original owner(I'm not) Dell can provide you with recovery software on thumb drives. You can launch from the recovery and choose to refresh, restore, repair or any of a host of other options.

    You might be able to simply restore to an earlier date, before the driver change.
