    Hello there,

    Recently I got into the BIOS of the tablet, yes, the one which you would expect on a desktop PC. [suprisingly a mouse cursor showed up in the bios, when I plugged in my mouse, and I could use it!] What I found was TONS of options for the GPU (memory use, turbo clocks, thermal setting etc.), some CPU options, boot management, security settings, and most importantly, the device manager.

    I’ve attached the picture of the device manager, but take a peek at the GPS… –> Disabled. So it has a GPS in it it’s just disabled, and I couldn’t find any methold to enable it.

    I got this far to, seems the Broadcom GPS is all there . Just bios disabled for some unknown reason, but I think it could be missing the antenna for it.

    In the bios you can see realtek WiFi and Bluetooth, but in the Os you can find Broadcom. So the bios was probably created for a different tablet they just reused it for the Hi8.
