Hi, I’ve got Teclast F6 Pro. In mine this function is disabled, i enable it and take a photos.

Thank you!

For those who prefer ubuntu, there is an easy way to make the touchpad work. Just follow these steps: <span>https://github.com/sridwan/Ubuntu-Kernel-for-Teclast-F7</span&gt;

Four months and the battery is still as new. You can get 6 hours easily with “Better performance” settings under Windows, more if you set “Maximum battery”.

Are you running a multi-thread stress tool? If that is the case, then the reading is correct. This CPU has a turbo max speed of 2.6 GHz for a single core, or 2.4 GHz for two cores.

OK, I managed to get rid of the problem with some registry tweaks. I am attaching the .reg file with the necessary keys: F6_fast_typing.reg.txt. Just download it, rename it to “F6_fast_typing.reg” and double click on it to import the values.

It will basically enable Filter Keys, and set a “bounce time” of 35 ms: that means that it will ignore any keystroke that happens within 35 miliseconds of the last one. If you are an extremely fast typer, you may want to reduce it to 30 or 20 miliseconds, with the risk of getting some repeated keystrokes.

Notice that, if you open the Filter Keys Windows configuration dialog, it will set bounce time to half a second, because those low values we are setting are not available from the dialog drop list. Just import the .reg file again to fix it.

If you want to revert to the default values, just download and import the other file I am attaching (rename it to fix_keys_default.reg).

Works perfectly for me. Even more, the improved battery settings allow for much longer battery life, while keeping a decent performance. I get almost nine hours of productivity use (browsing with Edge, videos, working with Office 365) using the second notch of the slider (“Better Battery Life”).

I got some problem related to the touchpad drivers after the upgrade (nothing serious, just a warning every time I shut down the computer), and solved it by installing the newer version of the driver referenced here: https://techtablets.com/forum/topic/sipo-tp-controller-preventing-shutdown/

@Olly  That was really helpful. I’ll order a small copper shim, and let you guys know about the results when I get it.

[Juan]

Excellent tutorial, thanks! All those tips about the screws, unplugging battery, etc., are very useful.

Can you also post some numbers (e.g. CPU temp, external case temp) after your mod?

I have ordered a thin 200mm x 100mm copper sheet, 0.5mm so very thin and flexible. I will glue this to the back of the bottom cover so that the heat can be spread evenly and better through the plastic

@Olly That is pretty much what I want to do. Did you finally do it? If so, can you tell us the results? I was hoping that, if heat spreads more evenly through the bottom, then the left side won’t be so hot, even though the right side will be warmer than before.

Well, that’s not exactly what I have in mind. My main concern is not to keep the CPU cooler, but to prevent the left part of the laptop from getting too hot while the right is cool. With the mod you posted above, CPU temp decreases, but at the cost of making the bottom-left of the laptop get even hotter.

My idea is to put a big copper sheet across all the bottom cover, that spreads from left to right, and so distributes the heat evenly through the bottom. The goal is that, when I put it on my lap, instead of burning my left leg while the right remains cool, have both legs be evenly warm.

Cube Thinker i35 already has what I want to do in my Teclast, you can see it in this video, minute 1:50 (notice the big copper sheet attached to the bottom cover): https://youtu.be/hNkZlaK2bEE

Hello everyone. I recently got a Teclast F6, very satisfied with it, but I don’t like either how hot it gets on the left side. I was thinking about getting a big copper sheet (like 10×20 cm), and applying it on the back, so the heat is spread more evenly through the bottom instead of just accumulating on the left side.

The only drawback is that it would make the battery get hotter. Do you think it can impact negatively on the battery’s longevity?
