Thanks. I PMed Wootever over at XDA (I believe he is the creator of these custom BIOSes) and he confirmed that he no longer distributes those packages. Weird since they have new versions coming out for the i9 based on the i7 but I guess we have to accept it for now. Let’s keep each other posted if any news comes to light. Cheers.
P.S.: May I ask what kind of power issues you have?
I bought a used i7 cube book from a gent here that bought it and had power problems from the beginning. He spent months going back and forth with the vendor with no joy. I think the vendor had nothing to offer in the way of a solution. I’m not entirely sure why he didn’t send it back, but I guess it was not worth it to gamble on paying shipping costs. I decided that I would buy it from him, and it was a super bargain. It randomly shuts down and sometimes you hear it crackle right when it does. Sometimes it won’t start straight up. I opened the case to examine the battery connection and the heat sink , but I didn’t mod anything. I think there is an electrical short somewhere, but I have no idea how to troubleshoot it. I’m sure it is not heat related, as it powers off when it first starts and randomly over the course of hours, and sometimes it doesn’t crash at all. Very mysterious. It is a great tablet and it isn’t troubling to me that it periodically shuts down. I am in the process of researching the bios settings as they are much more numerous than any of the desktops. I have or have used. I’m hoping that I can figure out what most of the fine tuning bios entries means. If I come across something notable, I’ll let you know
Oh, I see. Look more like a contact issue to me. But of course you never know. It can be anything and everything.
Something else to check: if I remember well when I did my heatsink mod I came across a microswitch that only lets the tablet to power up when the back is in place. I am not 100% sure though. You may want to check this under / around the factory heatsink plate. When I first opened the tablet up, I could hear a clicking sound as I pressed on the aluminum heatsink plate, exactly like the sound of a microswitch. First with the cover removed I was not able to power on the tablet until I pressed on the HS. It may worth to give this a try. Please let me know if you found it. Good luck!d
What exactly do you mean by fixing SD issues via BIOS? (I also have these issues as pretty much everyone else but fixing it via BIOS is new for me. I only found reports that this is a hardvare issue.) Thanks.
Hey, thanks, just answered in the other thread. I do not have this option, the i7 bios looks completely different. Do you know for sure if custom bioses have this option?
How can you even download from baidu? I run into Chinese captchas all the time. Asked their support to make a mirror. They promised to get back to me. Never heard of them again…
What’s the point to pack the BIOS with Windows? Windows is too big! Can you put the link to download it here? I’ll try to download myself and I can upload the BIOS only somewhere else.
