  • I was able to download and install all the drivers (1.00 all the way to 2.01) provided on the acer website for the iconia w3-810. still not able to see buletooth radio in device manager. what am I missing? Or is there somewhere else to get the driver for the iconia w3-810 bluetooth? I'll even consider upgrading from…
  • I tried to install the AcerDriver Package2.0030.3 MB But it seems to be the wrong version and won't install. Is there anywhere esle I can get the drivers to switch on the bluetooth? Also is there software that I can run on the iconia w3 to see what hardware is built into the w3? Maybe if I can figure out which bluetooth…
  • Ok I was able to update the BIOS, but battery still will not hold a charge. Is there any other way to correct this problem? is there a recall for Iconia W3s shipped with bad batteries?
  • The bad news is, clean boot didn't work. The good news is I was able to connect up a USB mouse and keyboard thru a non-powered hub and a female USB to male micro USB that I hacked together from two different cords. when the iconia hung during the wifi driver install, I was able to ctrl-alt-del to get to the login screen…
  • The good news is I can also boot to safe made and login as admin but bad news is I get same message when I try to make changes in msconfig. Will try the command you posted: runas /user:Administrator C:\WINDOWS\pchealth\helpctr\binaries\msconfig.exe Which would be best? To run msconfig in standard mode before logging in as…

I was able to get msconfig to run before logging in as admin. tried to make a simple change in msconfig such as changing the timeout, but get warning message: "System Configuration cannot save the…
  • I may sound a bit neo-luddite; old-skool, even. Not using a wifi router so, need to turn off router for testing. I've only been able to boot the w3 without a network. While researching my w3 issues, I found that you can replace the accessibilty button (waiting for the w3 battery to charge so I can't remember what it's…
  • Thanks Billsey. That worked! It took a couple of tries but was able to unlock admin account. now I can login as admin but the w3 hangs at installing drivers message (while trying to install the wifi drivers--perhaps part of the failed window 8.1 update). Is there a way to stop driver install before it hangs, maybe a…
  • "I believe the "P" suffix is for systems shipped with Windows Professional." Thanks padgett. "I'm afraid you are likely going to have to come up with an external DVD drive (self powered or plugged into a powered hub). it sounds like there isn't a good install image at the moment." Thanks for the reply--I think the install…
  • Regarding the factory reset: I tried the reset button next to the microSD card slot, but that did nothing. I tried holding power and down-volume button, but that did nothing. As I said I can boot it to the DOS prompt (hold power and windows key, etc. to get to command prompt) so, is there a command prompt program that I…
