Changing Tablet OS

[ArcThanatos]

i have had this POS pendo pad for a while, barely ever used it as it had windows 8 on it and was as fun to use as cheese grating your genitals off to use for anything (other than a paper weight).

 

so a while ago i had the idea, put an older android on it.

so the boot disc with android on it went fine, the booting up the boot disc, check.

installing it.... and well half way thru, battery shit the bed. kaput.

so charging up, 100%, turn on the 4port usb hub with Disc and Keyboard bad on the tablet... now it doesn't like the 4port hub with usb n keyboard. its stuck with a grub loader on it, that does a whooooole lot of nothing. and i would really like to either finish the install OR somehow have the screen Repurposed into a micro Monitor on a HDMI lead. anyone got any ideas on how to do this.

 

im i think the micro monitor could be awesome to have fixed up in my ute to use one something else. OR if it gets android on it it can still end up in the ute as a MP3 Player with a screen i can actually see my music on.

You could try disassembling it and use the screen panel and a cheap ebay control board and voila, but I have no idea

 

Maybe contact Pendo support and try to organise a replacement, just say the device isn't booting up and there is no windows screen

you will have more luck over at xda-developers.com. its doesn't sound bricked so you should still be able to throw android on it

well the install just got half done and its stuck, i just looove how getting to BIOS\UEFI on tablets is as fun as pissing syphilis, you can only do it with a OS installed. no OS no UEFI... seriously what fuckwit came up with that idea!. i tried every button combo (3 buttons not many combos) and yet nooope nothing no UEFI... this is a seriously bad bad design flaw.
