Asus Tab stuck on Intel logo .... Won't boot

james_bond

My Asus Fonepad (FE170CG) refuses to boot. It hangs on the Intel logo (please see attachment)

Is it possible to fix this at home ? I don't want to go to the service center & spend money for such an old device.

If anyone knows a way please reply.

 

****Note**** I use Linux. I don't have a single Windows PC at home.

This is the device

I did exactly what the guide says.

1. At the beginning turn off your tablet by holding the Power key ofr a short while.

2. Press and hold Volume Up + Power at the same time for a few seconds.

3. Release held keys when you see an Andoid image.

 

Problem is when I press & hold the Volume Up+Power at the same time I am still getting that same Intel screen. That is the image that the attached with my first post.

 

Why do you think I am not getting that "Android image" ?

I read that inability to get in that Android image mode means that its not a software issue but a hardware issue.

So I just sold the Tab at a cheap price.
