Problems with random power-offs and charging?

[Panders]

Thanks for the tip, @wurster.  I’m extremely hesitant to try to flash anything because it powers off suddenly and frequently, even if I’m in the BIOS settings.  If it powered off during a BIOS or EC flash, it would probably be irreversibly bricked.

@john-macie, PM incoming.

you are right, be careful. Did you try shake it a bit or something like that to check if it turns off then? maybe it’s bad soldering.

I downloaded the zip for cube i7 book from cube-tablet.com. It’s a 7GB zip containing win10, bios and ec files and a chinese documentation about flashing win10, bios and ec. I translated that document. There was a note, that reflashing the ec (ec means embedded controller) might help with power or charging problems. So it might help with your problems described here. Flash/upate BIOS might help as well. I can post the translated doc, if you like. But be warned: I don’t speak chinese and used google translator and tried to figure out, what it should mean. But I guess, it’s pretty accurate, at least it makes sense from a techical point of view, also there are a lot of english screenshots.

@wurster I tried a lot of things to get the zip. I found the cube-tablet firmware dwnld page and tried to plug in google and bing translate to get to the zip. I used the username and pass and that gave me a Chinese captcha that I couldn’t do. I finally got the standalone windows app and that let me into a folder with phone firmware and apps, but couldn’t find the tablet zip. Any brief suggestion to help me get at that zip?  Thanks johnm

You need the baidu desktop app. In the download-section of cube-tablet.com are credentials for baidu. I also remember that chinese captcha, but I got around it somehow, I’m not sure, but after clicking the download-symbol on top of the page, a small in-page-popup appeared, there you should klick a text-link, not the obvious “big” link, but I’m really not sure anymore. I just tried to reproduce this, but the credentials for baidu don’t work anymore, can’t login.

Anyway, I can provide BIOS, EC and documentation, but not the win10 files, it’s way too big to reupload with my internet connection.

That would be great, Thanks, I don’t need the windows 10, but I’d appreciate the bios etc. My email is [email protected]
