I have an Onda v116w dual OS tablet. Last week I accidently deleted a Windows boot manager file while trying to reset the boot order. Ever since I’ve been struggling with my UEFI settings to convince the system to boot a Windows USB or repair disk via either of my two USB ports.
A few days ago, whilst exhausted and desperate, I reset some USB settings. I believe what I did was tell UEFI to treat my ports as 2.0 rather than 3.0. Ever since I have no access to BIOS.
Previously I could mash multiple keys on a standard USB keyboard during the Windows boot manager failure screen and it would take me to BIOS settings. The USB’s seem to still be sending power to external devices. An external DVD drive will light up and spin, and a USB mouse’s laser will light up when plugged in. I just cant seem to use the keyboard. It’s lights, like the num lock, caps lock etc… will not light up. It seems it’s not being powered at all.
Aside from any advice or brain storms which would be very welcome, my primary question is this; I have since ordered a new Onda v116w that will arrive hopefully late this week. Is there someway that I might flash the new drive and overwrite the bricked one? Do you think I can even gain access to the drive to overwrite it? If so, how might I do it?
