I have acer m500 tablet and it hangs at "Acer" logo screen. The reset button somehow don't work ( I don't feel any button pressurization when I use a paper clip). The tablet dies completely when I press pwr and Vol (+) button and I have to revive it by pressing pwr and middle button. I was told that this tablet has possibility for android os. I purchased mini usb cable from Fry's. Please help me how to flash this tablet into an adroid os. I believe the "meego" production is completely ceased.

Hello,
Excuse my english, but i'm french.
I have a tablet A501.
An update was proposed to me last week (probably ICS), so I launch it (Over the air, with wifi, connected to an outlet).
Then my tablet would not start any more once finished. so I put a paperclip in the "reset". Because it did not matter, I pressed it with "power".
The tablet is now on apx mode, but usb debug is disabled, with black screen, without cpuid.
I tried to unzip the firmware on the sdcard and make the volume "-" and power. No reaction.
When I press power, the power button turns on or turns off (white backlit power button or not), but the screen is black and there is no vibration.
What to do?
Thank you for your help!
Hello all,
My mother got an a500 about seven months ago and the other day she put it to charge and the next day it wouldn't turn on at all, just a black screen. When the charger is plugged in, the power button glows white. Take it off charge and the light goes out and that's all it will do.
I have tried searching through multiple forums and I have tried all the solutions I have found. I tried pressing the reset button near the usb plug, I tried a hard reset by holding the power and volume + buttons multiple ways, i.e. I held them both for thirty seconds, held the vol button and pressed power for three seconds and about every other iteration I could find. Nothing happened not even a vibration like from what I've read it is supposed to do. I downloaded the update.acer.zip file and put it on an sd card and tried flashing it by holding the power and vol - buttons, still nothing.
The tab has not been moded in any way, however, God only knows what apps my mother way have downloaded to it...
I am at my wits end and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a noob so it wouldn't surprise me if I am not doing the flashing right or if I have the wrong files, all the links I found on the forums were non functional and I had to download it from filecorp.com.
Thanks in advance!

The white light when plugged to the charger just indicates it's fully charged.
Test 1. Press and hold the PWR button for 7 seconds, release, wait a couple seconds to see if it responds, then press and hold for another 7 seconds. See if it responds.This is to check if the tab is in Sleep of Death (SOD)
Test 2. Using a paper clip, press and hold the pinhole reset (near USB) and then press and hold PWR. After 4 seconds release PWR, 1 second later release pinhole. See if is vibrates and goes into APX mode, (tab should vibrate once with a black screen and white PWR button) if it does, press and hold PWR only for a few seconds. Wait a couple seconds, then PWR on tab by holding PWR about 6 or 7 seconds.
Test 2 is just to see if the tab responds to anything,
If you can't get any response from the above, then it's best to turn it in for repair.

@Moscow Desire: he pressed the reset button already so it is probably not SoD. Unless SoD makes reset button unresponsive too.
My tab does not vibrate when entering APX mode at all. Only the white power button LED turns on and the screen stays off.
@Core645: try this at first
- disconnect charger so the LED turns off
- hold power button for about 5 seconds
If the power button LED turns white and nothing else is happening then your tab is stuck in APX mode. You can confirm this by connecting micro USB cable from your PC. If you have windows it'll ask for drivers for Nvidia Download Mode or something like that.
Then check what Moscow Desire suggests with the reset button. I only ask you do my check at first because by holding reset you would achieve the same result and you wouldn't know if it is stuck in APX or you just forced it to APX by holding reset button.
I have an EVGA Nvidia Tegra Note 7, in shows no signs of life, no battery charge screen, no boot screen, nothing. When I have it plugged in to my PC (win7) It appears as an APX device. After downloading the root junkies super tool (2.5), I have installed the drivers using the windows driver install, but when I try running the supper tool it does not show it on attached devices and closes immediately.
I have tried the normal set of soft fixes including:
Power button
Power button (10-30-60 seconds)
Power button + volume up
Power button + volume down
Power button + volume up + volume down
I'm new to android in general, so I'm not sure if these are documented problems.
Thank you for any help you can give.

Looks like a GPU memory problem.
I had something similar on a previous HP Note 7 plus (Tegra 3) I had before to swap under warranty.
Hi guys,
I've got some problems when trying to boot my OP2.
First of all, my phone won't power on when holding the power button. There is no reaction from my phone. When connecting to a USB port of my computer, the phone will power on showing the battery charging indicator. I tried several things:
- Power cycle: holding the power button for 20 seconds 5 times
- Holding the power button when connecting my phone to my computer: the OnePlus and Powered by Android logo, after a few seconds, battery charging indicator comes up
- Holding the volume down button when connecting to my computer: the phone is stuck at the OnePlus logo and Powered by Android logo. I have to disconnect the battery to turn off the phone. (Yes, I opened my OP2)
- Holding the volume up button for 20 seconds when connecting to my computer: no reaction, phone stays off.
Yesterday when holding some buttons, I ended up on the fastboot screen, but I don't know the combination of keys and duration to end up in this screen. When in fastboot mode, is it possible to reset this phone, because I can't open recovery mode (volume down button)? And how to I enable fastboot mode?
Might this issue be caused by a broken battery or another hardware issue?
Thanks in advance XDA-hero's!

Press and hold together: Volume Up + Home + Power button for a couple of seconds. Factory reset: After that select from Recovery Mode menu "wipe data / factory reset" using Volume buttons to navigate and Power button to confirm.
or if not
Press and hold together: Volume Down + Home + Power button for a couple of seconds.
And try to flush again
