iconia kd1 recovery

tbarnstormer

I think I am in a catch 22.

 

My church had an Iconia KD1 donated that is showing obvious symptoms of a corrupt file. When booting, it tries to start, then restarts, and restarts, and attempts to self repair, etc. simply result in another restart.

 

There is no serial number that I can find on the unit, and to make matters worse, I can't boot it and use the installed utility to get the serial number, and apparently the previous owner or owners put a password on the BiOS, so I cannot get to the serial number that way either.

 

I'd like very much to get hold of the installation and recovery CD/DVD's that should have come with it originally (and apparently didn't get included when the machine was donated) and try to get the thing back up and running.

 

Any suggestions? Will calling the Acer support line provide any hope?

 

thanks,

Theo

KD1 probably is the keyboard dock model that's connected to the W510 tablet.

 

the serial number probably is hidden by the keyboard dock that you can disconnect from the tablet, by the way, you can try to reset/refresh it pressing Alt+F10 keys at boot and check if you are able to enter Acer recovery.
