Lapbook 14.1 won't boot

[Sx C]

unfortunately there is nothing much you can do in this situation, for one you can open up the laptop to see if there are any loose wires; obvious short or foreign material, or maybe clone another 14.1’s emmc image into an m.2 and see if it will boot from that.

Honestly though the problem appears to be deeper than that, your best bet is to contact gearbest and see if they will accept an exchange

If you can’t even enter BIOS (i.e. press escape a couple of times directly after powering on) then the problem is very likely a hardware problem. So as Sx C says you could try to get it replaced from gearbest (and) or open it and see if something is obviously wrong inside, loose wires etc… maybe try unplugging and reinserting connectors if there is a poor connection somewhere.

Probably you heated your cpu. Chuwi has done a bad job for the terminals.. see the review video of chris. I am still waiting for my copper plate to put on my cpu.

So it’s been a few days now and I’ve tried everything I can think of to get this working. I haven’t opened up the laptop because I don’t want them to have any kind of grounds to say something is my fault. I’ve sent an email to Gearbest explaining the whole situation, along with a video showing the non-responsive laptop.

Thanks for the responses guys. I’ll let ye know how I get on.

<h3>Update</h3>
Gearbest don’t have a solution for me and are offering a full refund or replacement so it’s most likely just completely dead.

I’m Having this exact same issue with my 14.1 from GearBest. The only thing I can think of is Chuwi’s engineering dept cut a few too many corners on the voltage regulation of the main board. I’m going through the refund process with Gearbest now, hopefully that goes smoothly.
