Just to make it clear, I measured the voltage on the connector on the board, not on the AC power supply.  So the board was getting 12+v.  I don’t know how it is supposed to be distributed on the motherboard nor appropriate test points so I didn’t do other measurements.  Recommendations welcome!

Since this topic has been dead for a long time, I suppose that everyone as given up on the idea of hosting and charging at the same time.

These are mutually exclusive – it is one or the other. No homegrown cable or hub modifications are effective.

@peteronowak If you look in the comments someone has the Y11, all good apart from the keys are quite hard to see the letters on them. Because it’s silver and not backlit. I’ve reviewed the Teclast F5 search for that, the exact same machine apart from the colors used. I really like the F5, just no full-sized USB port and 5 hours battery life tops!…[Read more]

My Cube Mix Plus has a problem like this one.

The battery was no longer charging when AC power supply was connected.

The system continued to work until the battery was discharged.

No sign of life since then.  The LED is not on.

I tried another AC power supply.  No difference.

I left it on my shelf for several months — I didn’t know what to d…[Read more]

Anyone know what is the largest size the M.2 drive can be later upgraded to after purchase?  Guess??

I used lithium grease from a tube, you only have to apply a really small amount, like ‘tip-of-the-toothpick’ small.

Thank You!

No. Only SATA3 M.2 drivers.

How is the BMAX 11? I’m thinking to get the BMAX 13.3 for my self, backlit 🙂 and it still should accept USB-C charging, to me the backlit of the is the key thing,  I work a lot at night and really need to see the keys :), any way how is the BMAX 11 form build quality and over all does it look it will be reliable?

I think, that yes. But  I saw only the reviews and promo materials about it.

Unfortunately Teclast seems to only offer an image and no seperate drivers for the Teclast F5R. I have downloaded the image from Baidu, below is an alternative link.

How did you start a topic?

if keeps saying “error” topic cant be created at this time without as much as an explanation for why, and is it problems at my end, or ??.

Tried the last few days, to start a topic about a 2-1 I purchased, but nahh not doable.

Feel stupid that I port people over to this site. and I’m starting to see where the lack of…[Read more]

helo , look nice this BMAX, is the new chuwi ubook a good deal?

The F5R model ID is S5K6.

@Ferdinand Olah

Should I use lithium grease that is sold in a tube or in a spray? Thanks !

The Chuwi lapbook pro would be your best bet right now. Try to get the 256GB SSD 8GB ram version.

I’ve gave up on updating the bios…
I’ve been getting the “please wait while we install the system update” flash since ever, and thought maybe restoring the X5 Pro with the factory image provided by Lucas would help.
After days trying it, I’ve managed to finally recover with the factory image by formatting a USB with FAT32, copying the files of a…[Read more]

You can use this page to download from Baidu without account: https://pan.baiduwp.com/

If you could tell me the model id of the F5R (should be on a sticker on the laptop) I can download it myself and upload the correct files somewhere else. I’m not sure if the previous link is correct and I do not have the laptop yet so I need someone to tell…[Read more]

My recommendation:

Take the partial refund and take it to a PC repair shop. Don’t send it back to China. They’ll probably say the laptop can’t be repaired and will not send it back to you (this happened to my with Gearbest).

Also I would be interested in the f5r drivers but I don’t know how to download them, we need a baidu account that I don’t have, can someone help me?

Thanks.
