For those who still have had no success, here another idea from slicksdeals.net about the Direkt Tek 11.6 Laptop with the same sensors:

Get the driver package from Trekstor.de here:

The Trekstor Primebook C11 is the same laptop. Their driver package has the files I couldn’t find in Direkt-Tek’s…

I would like to point out that the problem also occurs in LINUX distributions! All S.O. installed on X4 suffer from this problem.

So the Windows Key problem could be a hardware defect, or driver related.. Until today no other solution has been discovered.

For those who need it, I enclose a zip file containing the registry keys to disable /…[Read more]

<span lang=”en”>it’s a common problem apparently. The fault lies with the windows key. If the problem appears and press the windows key, the problem is solved.

As a (temporary) solution disable the windows key. (I am sending you my temporary solution on the zip file)</span>

Luckily, it was Amazon, I’m trying to get in touch with the BMAX now via Amazon messaging system.

Well done! Now that you mention it, I remember I had to install Windows USB drivers too. Hopefully, all future updates will be by OTA.

It finally worked!

The truck was simply trying another PC! It seems that the main PC I used had the USB drivers messed up due to the various trials.

I used the flashing software provided in the alldocube page, the latest December firmware. The only difference from the normal flashing process was plugging in the battery pins while pressing the…[Read more]

It depends site where you buyed it. Aliexpress didn’t care about customers. If you want a Bmax Y13, better buy it from Amazon, it’s more expensive but gives guarantee of replacement or refund.

I don’t recall making any changes to the flashing software but it is possible, as I had pretty much given up hope, and kept trying random combinations of button presses etc, when it suddenly started working. Here is the Alldocube forum link for more info:…[Read more]

I see

So basically you did the normal upgrade procedure with same flash software and firmware, with the only difference of connecting the battery plug to the motherboard while pressing the volume down button?

Did you change any option in the flashing software as instructed in the video?

For now the tablet isn’t giving any signs of life.

I think I did everything starting with the Alldocube site : https://www.alldocube.com/en/firmware/alldocube-iplay20t1011s-firmware-download/

This unbricking process is driving me crazy.

SPUpgrade_v2.9.3 isn’t accepting alldocube firmwares

Where did you download SP Flash_Tool_v5.20 from??

nice

I think the version used in the video tutorial was generic and not meant to be specific. The flashing software versions I used were: SP Flash_Tool_v5.20 and SPUpgrade_v2.9.3 but I’m sorry I can’t remember which one finally worked.

ll links are dead. can you repost ?

So I should use the latest november version for the unbricking process itself? I thought I should use the one provided in the YT video.

Which specific flashing software version did you use for unbricking that can read the alldocube firmware files?

Thanks again

I suggest you use the latest upgrade (November?), Since you have to unbrick anyway.

Yes, I used the August update for the unbricking. I am waiting for the November update to come by OTA. I do not want to risk bricking the tablet again by manually downloading, as it can be a pain.

Cheers Ritzie,

So I done a reinstall of Windows 10 and it seems it was a driver issue. I had no bluetooth either. SO ran a driver programme to locate all drivers etc.

What I can gather is the F keys can only be used when pressing the FN key. Which is disappointing. I’d permanently like to leave them on all the time without having to sue the FN…[Read more]

Did you use the AUGUST version for ubricking?

I used the same exact upgrade software version as in the video tutorial, and for some reason it doesn’t recognize any alldocube firmware.

I used the August version but I think there is now a November update.
