4 Year Old Laptop (Can't fix) HELP!!!!!!

So, I have a Acer Aspire One 431 C8G8 and It broke 4 years ago. It has a soldered eMMc drive 32GB. I DESPERATELY want this fixed. What I'm asking is, Is there a way to fix this without buying Recovery MEdia? I accidentally deleted ERecovery and I have done what follows:

1) Burn Windows 10 installer onto USB (no luck)
2) attempted to wipe eMMc drive on Diskpart (no luck)

Whenever I booted into the installer, It would tell me Windows couldn't be installed on the eMMc and, As I said I accidentally deleted ERecovery, I cannot do Alt+F10. No effect. Is my hard drive busted or is there a way to fix? By the way, The warranty is null and void

Hi Timmychanga,

Please visit any Acer store and get the recovery media for the device. If you are from USA then use the below mentioned link to purchase the recovery media through online.

Actually, you may don't have to purchase the recovery media.
Find a healthy computer and install a partition manager that supports creating bootable media. Prepare a USB drive and make bootable USB drive.
Start off you Acer with the bootable USB. You'll enter into the WinPE mode without booting Windows. In the WinPE, you'll find the exact partition manager.
Format or wipe the hard drive with the tool's features. It will success because you perform the task without Windows environment. Finally, you can do clean install on that drive.
I'd recommend you to visit this tutorial before you start: How to format hard drive without OS?
