If you are confident in flashing and using Google's adb
and fastboot
tools, then could point you to the direction of Google Factory Images for the Nexus.
Be aware of the differing versions available, flashing the wrong one could end up messing the device and having to re-do the flash again.
You will have to identify it, it would be shown on the bootloader screen, and pick the appropriate version, there's the 2012 model, 2013 model with variations of WiFi, one with 3G+WiFi and another with LTE.
