Hello, my Son was given one of these but it sees the previous owner deleted all files including the OS and also has damaged the keyboard,,,
I want to try and load another OS but although I can get into the BIOS to make changes. ( Hold Power Down and Vol Up ) I can't save any changes.. Are there some secret Key presses..
I have tried to connect a USB micro keypad and large keyboard but they are not detected by the Pad if I reboot..
What changes do you need to make? If it's a boot order setting, you may not need to.
If the device has no OS, connect or insert your installation media (USB drive, disk, etc..). In theory, when you turn the device on, it scans through the list of boot options in order of priority, until it finds a viable one in the list. If the install media type is higher in the boot priority list than any other "viable" OS, the laptop should automatically boot to it.
@johnnb I just reread your question to be sure I didn't miss anything, but I still stand by my answer. What didn't I catch?
I will also reassert my previous points because we do not have enough information to address your issue thoroughly.
* What are you trying to change in BIOS and why? You should not need to make changes in BIOS to boot to installation media if no other OS is installed.
* If DO need to change settings (secure boot, Legacy boot, etc...), we may be able to advise ways around that, but we need to know what you need to change.
* Is there an OS, or remnants of an OS currently installed on any drives connected? If so, disconnect them first and wipe them using another machine if possible so the device does not drive to boot to it.
@johnnb why would you scrap it? At least you could try a few more things. Try to reflash the BIOS. Turn it on by pressing the Power and Esc buttons at the same time. Get a BIOS Update from places like this Insert the USB drive with the BIOS update on it while you do this. See if that updates your Asus.
Worst case scenario, get a pre programmed BIOS IC and replace your BIOS. Or you can try and find a working BIOS dump and reprogram your BIOS.
At least give it a try, instead of taking the easy way out, and continuing to feed the profit-before-planet machinery. Our landfills are full of devices that are being scrapped just because users are lost with the repairs.

Hello, I don't want to scrap it but not found a solution yet,
The main point is .. I do not have the original keyboard for it..................
You say "Turn it on by pressing the Power and Esc buttons at the same time."
I do not have the original keyboard so I do not have a ESC button
I can get into the BIOS with Power and UP volume pressed together.
I DO have a standard USB keyboards and if I use a gender changer to change the standard USB plug to the Micro one so I can plug it into the USB port, BUT the Tablet does not detect it
After some more playing around I do have a screen display after booting which says
WINDOWS BOOT MANAGER
Windows failed to start, Insert , insert installation disc and restart.
I DO HAVE an off board DVD drive and a windows 8.1 ISO, BUT after connecting it to the Tablet and restarting, it does not detect the DVD drive.
I have to assume that the USB lead is a Standard type and not a factory reset type.
I do have a factory Reset type which I got a for a Kindle which is a modified micro but not tried that yet.
In the BIOS the USB says Disabled for USB XCHI DEBUG PORT . I can change that to EHCI .
I can change the setting to ENABLED, but can't save that setting.
So that;' my problem.
I don't want to buy the actual Keyboard to try to get it working and only to find that the 32GB SSD inside is faulty....................................

Hi, unfortunately the Touchscreen does not work as I have tried it many times...
Looking at other video, it seems that the touch screen relies on the Drivers that get loaded at some point and assumes that all is OK.
In the video you provided, as you saw, the keyboard it detected when in the Windows OS, so have to assume that it cannoot be detected without the OS loaded.
I was thinking earlier about it and was wondering why some software was written so you can open the BIOS with the Power and Vol down keys, but not a save option. It assumes that Windows and some other critical Drivers are loaded which allows the touchscreen
BUT there has to be a way.... Just not got there yet....But will continue to explore :)
Also, for Windows 10 use the Windows 32BIT 8.1 drivers else it wont work with internal bits
SOCPackage_Intel_BayT_T100TA_Win81_32_VER112 ( else audio driver wont work )
Audio_Realtek_Win81_32_VER6296004087
WLAN_Broadcom_Win81_32_VER59399210
Bluetooth_Broadcom_Win81_32_VER12009090
Intel_SOC_Driver_Package2_VER10E
Also so forget to change the Windows configuration to TABLET mode with options for Docked or not Docked else in Tablet mode you will not get an On-Screen Keyboard
