Tablet Locked down for China

---

Hi,

I bought this tablet on-line locally while in China on business last week. Overall really pleased with it but some problems which make me think it might be locked down for use in China. Tempted to install a vanilla version of Ice Cream Sandwich over the top but surely that's too easy (and I don't know how to do it!) ? Please can anyone help?

Device:
Onda V712 Dual Core Dual Camera 7 inch 1280*800 IPS HD Touch Screen HDMI WIFI 16GB

Problems:
Can't access Facebook online (error 404) or via Android App (login doesn't reach facebook servers). Other sites giving 404 are Youtube and Google.

Can't download from Google Play Store (-101 on commencing download), have to use a Chinese equivalent (AnZhi) which takes ages to download apps which take seconds on my Samsung Galaxy Ace mobile and doesn't have some UK apps like the new BBC Media player for using the iPlayer.
