    Are you sure you werent messing with any bios settings or installed any programs lately that might cause this?

    Worst case scenerio its a dead drive, but I doubt it.

    Best case, something was changed in bios and all you need is the default settings for the bios from the factory

    I already tried the default BIOS settings, including a fresh BIOS flash. Nothing helped so far, not even Linux lists up the drive. Neither the SDCARD nor the eMMC. I guess the SDIO unit is broken.

    Bad quality. And definitely bad support by Chuwi. I cannot recommend them.

    Forget about the Chuwi support. Agreed. Sorry for my English, but maybe with my experience… I was “kill” my chuwi by changed one,two – more bios settings. It looks like brick-yes. I m try to disassemble device, try to “find magic reset button”-no chance. Ок.  Holding about 20 secs power button – power off the device – so after that  -4 5 secs after power on – having ability to (by pressing del button) enter bios settings (-chuwi hi10 p64g42) nd reset|tune so on.

    Anyone else having this problem. I haven’t changed anything but the tablet started booting only into BIOS. Any advice how to fix/repair this?

    I found that its eMMC is got broken. I removed the chip and wait for a new one via AliExpress. But I cannot recommend this method. It’s a pain to properly replace a eMMC chip.
    The only thing that will probably work for you as well is to boot from a USB drive. But thats quiet slow. So, in the end it’s just a brick you can try to sell on eBay and learn to never buy a Chuwi device again. Quiet a bad build quality. Oh yes, and forget about Teclast. They are even worse.

    Was the eMMC soldered to the boad? What kind of chip did you order, would you please give me a link? Thanks

    Yes. It was soldered. I bought one of these:

    No clue if it will work and even solve my problem. However, it’s not that expensive and worth a try.
    But replacing the soldered eMMC demands quiet good soldering skills and the right tools…

    I’m not going to do the soldering myself, will try to find someone that has the skills and is willing to give it a try, buy I was wondering if it’s possible at all. Would please post your results when after you replace it, so I know if it’s worth ordering at all. Thanks for your help.

    Hi there,

     

    Have you solved your problem? I got the same problem as yours. Did you buy and solder the chip?
