Acer A100 does not boot..stuck at android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
My Acer A100 does not boot and gets stuck at android(written not logo). It was having HC.
I tried Hard reset, but no use
Tried copying update.zip file in formatted sdcard and tried to power on the tablet with volume buttons pressed, it shows reading file from update.zip file and then when android logo shows up and starts, it looks if its going to flash from update.zip file, but then after 30% scan, it shows warning sign and aborts progress bar.
I never unlocked bootloader or never upgraded from HC.
Can not be detected when connected to windows 7 home premium laptop or desktop. Tried installing USB driver on laptop from acer, but it gives an error while trying to install and after that it says successfully installed. On Windows XP, USB driver gets installed and MTP device id detected but does not show any drive in my computer.
Please advise if this tablet can come back to life. This has been a good tablet for last 5 months..
Thanks

[Q] Windows won't recognize Gtablet in APX mode - no prompt to install drivers

Noob here,
My viewsonic Gtablet has been softbricked and I've been attempting to get it into a functional status for the last couple of weeks.
I have tried -
1) installing the factory reset roms onto the microsd card and booting gtablet in recover mode. This lead to an indefinite "booting recovery kernal image".
2) installing clockword mod in hopes of fixing the bootloader. This led to the same result
I'm now attempting to nvflash the device. I have all folders installed and the entire setup is ready to commence HOWEVER; when I boot the gtablet in APX mode and connect it to my windows pc, there is no prompt indicating a new device. After checking device manager I cannot find the device there either. I have the drivers in a folder and ready to install, but I don't know how when I'm given no indication that the computer even recognizes the gtablets existence.
Any ideas?
Which windows os? 98?
my apologies, I forgot to mention.
I have tried to nvflash on both windows 7 and ubuntu linux but neither OS picked up or detected the presence of the gtablet at all
Have you checked if your usb chord is working? I know, sounds silly. But this happened to me a number of years ago. Really thought it was the computer or my camera. Until I tried another usb chord and voila!
Oh God, wouldn't you know that fixed it instantly. Here I tried everything in the world and it was the USB cable all along. Thanks a bundle man!

[Q] Problems with Touchpad mounting to computer

I tried looking around all over for a solution. Initially, I updated webOS to the latest version, and installed Android CM7 3.5 to check it out, and everything worked out fine. Installed the .zip to get the Marketplace fix, and next reboot I noticed when plugged in the Touchpad wasn't recognized that it is connected to my computer. Couldn't get the USB connection on in notification tray, unless there's something else I have to do to bring it back.
I went back into webOS, same thing. Rebooted many times, power on + volume button, big USB logo, nothing happening. I may of made a bad mistake here, I performed a full reset in webOS but Android still works fine and asks me what system I want to boot into when I turn on the device.
Anyone have any ideas what I can do to fully restore my device? I am kind of lost because all the solutions I've seen on the web involve the touchpad being connected to the PC and transferring things to it. When I hold the power button and volume up and get the big USB icon, Windows says the device can not be recognized, one of the usb devices has malfunctioned.
Thanks so much in advance.
Got a similar problem. Windows shows me the Device as removable storage, but when I click on it it says "please insert a disk"... Same in webOS and Android.
Edit: Nevermind, the good old "have you tried turning it on and off again" worked. (Desktop).
Check your pc and ensure you have the novacom drivers installed. Novacom is used to access the touchpad when connecting to the pc. Without it, the pc cannot see the touchpad.

Novacom drivers are definitely installed, I used them to install CM7.

HELP Bricked Tablet Ematic EXP8

Hi, I first want to say I am very thankful that you're reading this.
My problem is tablet ematic exp8 just suddenly got bricked .
When I hold power off + volume up or down button, the tablet turns on and doesnt offer me options and only goes to android logo again.
So I have downloaded ematic exp8 image file and usb drivers from their website. I followed some advice and tried to install those drivers but windows said that current version is up to date.
I tried to put image files on SD card but it didnt work.
I tried with LiveSuit but it didnt recognize my tablet.Althought he recognized IMG file.
I feel like usb driver might be the problem since USB debugging is turned off and in device manager Alcatel Andorid ADB interface is listed as driver.
If you have any suggestions please say so.
