Hi guys,

did anyone already find a solution on this? My Cube i7 Stylus always had some battery issues and has stopped working at all. The screen was showing a bulge so I’ve opened up the tablet and found that 1 of the 2 battery cells is a little obese 😉

Now I just have to find a new battery. So would love to hear if anyone else is more successful in finding one, than I was until now.

Cheers,
Jan-Willem

I have the Samsung 128GB micro SD EVO UHS-I Class 10 48MB/s and it works great!

@Chris: do you know if a 128GB micro sd will work?

Hi guys,

I just received the i7 Stylus Unfortunately I think the tablet is DOA.

– I charged it, green light indicates fully charged

– it starts up but shuts down after a few seconds

– after factory reset, tablet still shuts down after a few seconds.

– it only does this when charger is plugged in the tablet, if i unplug the charger, it does not start up at all

– I tried with a different charger with the same specs: 12v, 2,5a, + inside – outside, but this gives the same result. So this makes me think the charger is OK, tablet is broken.

See my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BchUMZ4OYxM

Do other people have this problem? It seems that if i ‘wiggle’ the charger plug it sometimes (rarely) charges for a few seconds (red indicator), so I assume that’s the problem?

Or… are there quick fixes?

Thanks!

It’s not look like completly dead. Plug the USB Keyboard and try to enter to the BIOS. Make an USB drive with Windows Installer and try to install Windows Again. Maybe geekbuying and their cracked Windows are messed up

It’s from banggood But no, it’s now completely dead / empty so I’m pretty sure it’s a charging issue.

 

It’s working! After charging it for a lot of hours, it’s working! 🙂 So, problem resolved.

So then, finally received the tablet from Geekbuying. And guess what, yep, it has the Chinese cracked Windows 8 pro with kmspico. I emailed them and got a reply saying they only have the Chinese version and no English key and they “hope I understand”. Well, no I don’t understand. I’m wondering if I should dispute this with PayPal now? I want a partial refund as now I will have to buy a windows key and will have to go to the effort of uninstalling the Chinese pro version and installing standard windows 8.

Like Peter says: open a Paypal dispute. I have had problems with them too: not reacting to aftersales claims, asking me to do the same thing (updating firmware while the device wasn’t even powering up to do so)  over and over, the only thing that worked was the PP dispute.
