Hi!
This Acer W4 820 has performed many, many years since 2014....but soon after its upgrade to Windows 10, it developed touch screen issues ( top and bottom zones of touch screen , erratic ghost touches), and the battery just collapses as soon as I unplug charger. Acer India's repair center in India has not been able to provide a repair time cost quote as of writing, so I relied on a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and constantly plugged in charger to use my W4 820. Recently, I reset the tablet as it was throwing up Windows 10 update errors. This has unpaired the Bluetooth peripherals, and ergo, I'm unable to use the faulty touchscreen to log into this tablet.
Q1: Is there a way I can use a wired USB mouse and a powered USB hub to deliver micro USB power to my Acer W4 820 tablet?
Q2: Is there a way I can remotely log in using IP address and credentials, so that I can atleast enable Bluetooth to connect my BT Keyboard and BT mouse?
Q3:What repair options and prices are available to me?
Q4: If I can't connect BT Keyboard and mouse, can I instead format and install Windows 10 using a powered USB hub, delivering both micro USB power and USB key connection?
Q5: Can anyone recommend a trade in, refurbishing, recycling, repurposing, repair, replacement and or working solution this otherwise awesome Acer W4 820 tablet product?
Hoping to hear from ya! 😃
