I just picked up a dirt cheap ME176C on eBay with allegedly a broken digitiser [The screen works, but doesn't respond to touch]. Naturally the previous owner has done a factory reset, so it's stuck on the first setup screen [Choose Language]. Before I decide whether or not it's worth buying a new digitiser for the MemoPad, I want to try and get USB debugging turned on so I can ADB Shell in and have a poke around at the various sensor logs and see if everything else looks OK.
So, the challenge is to navigate through the setup screens without using the touchscreen.
I've got a USB OTG lead, so I've tried plugging a mouse in, but no joy [no cursor appeared]. Then I tried with a USB keyboard and found that, by hitting the Return key, I can pop-up the Language selection menu and then select a language using the keyboard arrow keys. However, I can't find a key [or key combo] that will then change focus to the arrow to take me to the next setup screen.
Does anyone even know if what I'm trying to do is possible? I was quite hopeful, when I hit the Return key on my USB keyboard and saw the Language selector menu pop-up, but there doesn't seem to be any way to move focus to the next UI element on that screen.
