At one point in time, I was trying to change the OS on a nextbook ares 11, I managed to do so, but then I wanted to try and install windows.

I went mucking about in the BIOS to get it play with windows and somehow I disabled the screen. The screen is not broken.

The device was last running remix OS 2.0 with the TWRP Recovery environment

The device runs the InsydeH20 BIOS.

The device still boots, I just can't see anything on it, and I don't know if the mini HDMI output works, I don't want to buy a cable only to find it the output doesn't work.

If anyone else who has done the same OS swap might be familiar with the procedure to enable the BIOS access.

I'm hoping that anyone who has done the same, might still have the device with acees to the BIOS and can guide me with a tutorial and screenshots of the BIOS to reenable the screen. I want to say the setting is somewhere in the "advanced" section of the BIOS.

Thank you,

CelestialDiablo

HELLO out there, I have a NextBook Ares 8, NXA8QC116, -- Android, 5.0 Lollipop, tablet.

I'm trying, once again (over the course of five + years) to get this tablet to work, and I was hoping that I could finally find "the" answers from here maybe? (1st time asking here)

When I start my tablet, it won't get beyond just displaying the nextbook logo in the middle of screen, and "powered by Android" at the bottom when it 1st comes on (+ backlight?)

Then they both go out briefly, then just the nextbook logo reappears alone for a period of time and stays (sometimes for a long time) or may go out and come back on again for a while and then nothing else happens, I'll let it sit and after a while it just goes totally black. (but it's only the first time that Android is included on the screen).

When I try and start it to recovery/reset mode using the pow + vol up it'll show the logo/s a few times just like earlier and then just goes blackish? or sometimes whitish? (and I can not access the recovery program although I've tried 1000 times as it says in my description).

One time I was actually able to get the little Android guy to show up on the screen but by the time I found my glasses so I could read it. It had gone away and I've never been able to get back to that screen again I've tried various combinations of holding the power button and volume up button down for however long (5 sec, to 5 min) then releasing one, I've tried it even with the volume - down I've tried a combination of you know holding two down and then releasing one of them, Tried combos that include the home button.

I've tried every possible combination I can think of, and other than that one brief moment, I've been unable to access that recovery mode again.

I can occasionally get it to say, "Entering fastboot", and I think it was DNX waiting for command, or something similar to that, but I just found out apparently that's for when/if, It's connected to a computer for in-put? .

Also, I have disconnected and reconnected the battery more than once.

Hopefully I found the right place.

Entering DnX mode.

Waiting for fastboot command...

How do I exit this mode? I tried holding the power button but it just goes right back to this.

It's a Nextbook Ares 8

Model number NXA8QC116R

Any help would be appreciated.
