Hello,
So I decided to ignore the warning of "...You should create a recovery image of Windows 8.1 before trying out Windows 10..." Anyway, Windows 10 installed fine and I ran it for a week or two but was displeased because of the heat, battery life, performance, it was worse than 8.1 with this tablet. Beta test right?
So, even though I knew that the old files of Windows 8.1 were gone, I still tried to reset/recover the tablet, and now I have a pretty brick.
The computer tries to fix/diagnose itself at the start but always fails.
The problem is that I can't interface with it.
These are the two scenarios:
I can get into BIOS, but I can't seem to get a keyboard to work. The tablet has a micro-usb and I took a 4-wire micro usb and spliced it to a generic keyboard with 4 wires as well but it is not recognized. I have only found one entry that notes this computer can use a keyboard from an Amazon review:
The ASUS has neither and is difficult or impossible to navigate without using a USB keyboard.
The Windows 10 iso is available and I installed it onto a micro-sd card using Rufus. I can't seem to figure out how to bypass the SSD and boot into the SD to overwrite the SSD. Without a keyboard, I'm not sure what to do.
I am trying to figure out how the manufacturer even installed the OS in the first place, through the USB, or the SSD directly?
Anyway, I can get to a command prompt but again, no keyboard...
I can get to a file directory and try to install drivers, that's what I'm trying to do now but it seems hard to find a generic PS/2 keyboard driver which the computer usually automatically installs without any problems.
Any thoughts?
The tablet is not broken physically, and I would rather not sell it to someone who can easily fix the problem and get a "new" tablet... but then again, can it be fixed? Of course but how?
