    IIRC those models had an eMMC drive on the motherboard and when the drive got old enough to fail there isn't a cost effective fix, unless you are really good with your surface mount soldering skills… That tablet is almost 10 years old now, which is something like a bazillion in internet years. Acer doesn't have it's old OS images on their support site any longer, though you might be able to find one through third parties. I believe it ran Jelly Bean 4.2 originally and might have been upgraded within the Jelly Bean releases to 4.4 or so.

    You might try contacting Acer support, here you only get other Acer users, but I wouldn't hold out much hope.

    @GoodOlAndroidEnjoyer I found the forum that contains the tool for repairing the tablet firmware. You might need to use Google Translate to translate the whole webpage https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=605356&st=960#entry37978691
