Reply To: Reset BIOS Chuwi VI10Pro no keyboard

It’s probably best to wait a while for other opinions before opening your tablet but for reference:

1. If you face the screen with the pogo pins pointing down the power pins are the leftmost and the second from the right.
2. The 4 screws on the sides must be removed, they are torx t4.
3. There are YouTube videos of opening the Vi10.
4. The IC that provides VBUS to the ports is on the underside of the PCB.
5. The ribbon connectors all have clamps that are stuck down with a soft adhesive.
6. There is a shield that covers the SoC, eMMC, RAM, Flash and PMIC.
7. There is second shield that covers something else(probably WiFi)
8. Both shields are covered with tape but you don’t need to peel it all off (in fact it’s probably not worth taking them off)
9. The shields are only clipped in but if you choose to take them off please support the PCB.
