A bit out of topic, but does anyone know the type of screw for the bottom lid?

I’m missing one after I opened the bottom lid

[Shaq]

It’s not just the display, the whole system froze or become unresponsive when that glitch happens

The laptop’s not even usable since it happens just after a few minutes after login

I was gonna try to clone the drive using bootable cd like clonezilla but it’s not booting up at all from the usb (only blank screen)

Hi Chris, how’s your experience with RMA from gearbest?

Right now, I’m more concerned about getting reimbursement for return shipping fees.

Since their 3 day DOA only valid for 3 days, as much as I want to ship the laptop immediately back to them. My country (Malaysia) has public holidays that extend all the way to next Monday, so local courier companies would resume operation starting next Tuesday.

I’ve already emailed gearbest support regarding this and still waiting for their reply.

[Shaq]

Ok, so I might have to return it back to gearbest

So far, I have:

1. Reset the bios to default
2. A full pc reset
3. Install a fresh windows 10 on an m.2 ssd

And I’m still getting the weird graphic glitch or system freeze

[Shaq]

Not sure about the thermal pad, after opening the bottom lid. Everything seems to be intact

Does anyone know how I can boot from usb? I wanna try installing fresh windows 10 on the ssd

Ok, so the F7 key is the boot option, however this time installation windows is stuck at ‘Copying Windows Files’ for the last 30 minutes.

Could it be a problem with my installer?

[Shaq]

Haven’t done any emmc tweak modification on her laptop, this is straight out of the box

In her case, it just froze/glitch randomly during use, I’ll have a look at the bios settings if there’s any changes.

[Shaq]

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about the screen size since everything else has the same specs.

I think there is enough space for m.2 2280 ssd, you just have to remove the black plastic frame and one screw – see the attaached picture.

Thanks, is there a proper way to remove plastic frame without prying it out

Also, do you have reboot issues on the preinstalled windows? My sister who just received the latest revision ezbook 3 pro complained that the windows 10 hangs randomly& reboots itself

Should she restore windows or just reinstall new windows?

This 3L pro looks like a scam. Gearbest is changing the dispatch day daily (from August the 19th to September the 15ish). I think it doensn’t exist yet…

Could it be that

Ezbook 3L pro = 4th revision of ezbook 3 pro

My gearbest order for ezbook 3 pro from 20th august just arrived to my sister’s address. I can confirm it’s also the fourth revision (with m.2 ssd hatch).

Not sure if it can still fit 2280 like the previous one yet.

• rev. 3 has a small removable latch on the underside fixed with 1 screw (for easy m.2 ssd install)

Does this mean there’s no extra space in there to install m.2 2280 like previous rev? So it’s similar to ezbook 3L pro?

I ordered mine on the the 17th and shipped out at 25th, about to find out which rev I got once it arrives later today.

I have to correct myself …indeed the new revision has a PRECISION touchpad. With sensitivity adjustment, scrool direction adjustment, pinch to zoom, 3 and 4 fingers gestures,… Really a huge improvement. Also after Windows repair the activation worked correctly. I also managed to find the sound card drivers, so I am now really happy with this laptop, the only fault is the slow mmc, but I will order 275GB m.2 80mm ssd to fix this. BIOS Version: JUMPER10x.P8.WP313R.NHNAUHN02 System BIOS Version: 5.12 BIOS Release Date: 08/07/2017

Aha, just when my order gearbest shipped out, another version with better touchpad pops up

I wonder which version is my ezbook 3 pro will be

Looks like the price just went  up to 269 USD on their shop

[Shaq]

So the one major difference for this model would be the display panel (TN not IPS)? Is this confirmed, geekbuying can’t seem to verity this

Other than  bigger trackpads & m.2 2242 slot (so no installing  on  2280 on this)

I’m thinking of having them ship to a china warehouse  and  ship to my address for a lower shipping fee.

[Shaq]

Were you able to remove the black plastic frame without breaking it?

[Shaq]

Any word if they could ship the m.2 adaptor to you? Assuming they have it in stock?

[Shaq]

What about using m.2 ngff adapter like this one

Maybe you can tape the adapter on the board instead of having to remove parts of the heatsink just to make it shorter?
