Can my Acer Iconia be unbricked?

[derpturner]

After messing with installing a ROM to my acer iconia it will now not boot. Here's what I can do currently - can boot to clockwork mod recovery (but didn't make a backup so this may not be useful), otherwise it will not boot at all, just has "Acer" on the screen and does nothing else. I have an external SD card if that helps for anything.

What I did to break it this way - was at 3.2 so installed unstable 3.01 (I think), got it rooted, had the Acer Recovery Installer, installed clockwork mod, tried to use it to install a ROM, was having no luck so downloaded Thor A500 ROM v11, put it in SD, rebooted to recovery, wiped data and cache, attempted install, tried rebooting, now it's bricked. Is it going to be possible to recover it? and if so, how?

Appreciate any assistance! Cheers!

Why yes it can! You have to do a hard factory reset... first hold down the volume up button while holding press and hold power button for three seconds then release power button while still holding volume up and start toggling screen rotation lock switch on and off until it says in upper left corner erasing user data erasing cache... I got this work around from Acer it is a pain to perform but it works to restore Tablet to its original factory state...
Good Luck
