Is my tablet bricked?

[Brah]

Hi there!

Just got the Hi8 today and was really satisfied for the first two hours or so.

I ran Windows, installed Steam and played a short game of Terraria. Suddenly the device starts shutting down, due to updates. Didn’t think much of it.

Then it displays the Chuwi logo that appears when you power on the device and starts loading. It boots into Windows and asks if I want to restart or refresh, due to Windows not being shut down properly. I picked “Restart”. Nothing happens, just the same bootscreen from before.

Somehow I’m able to access the OS switcher and I pick Android thinking that at least that should work. Nothing happens, back to bootscreen. I’m charging the device the whole time so there’s the blinking charging LED. Suddenly it stops blinking as well.

Since then nothing happens. Screen is black and I can’t get it to power on.

 

Question: Is my device bricked?

Perhaps using images for Chuwi HI8 and reflashing could help you if no solution before .

LED stops blinking and stay fix when battery is full charged.

if there’s no charging light and holding power+down does nothing then your device is dead. sorry

So can you get any Chuwi logo at all?? If you can get the device to boot, you can reinstall Windows.

No logo, no led, just a new Chuwi Hi12 bricked by factory….
