It’s great that you managed to revive your Hibook using the CH341A programming kit! It’s always a relief when a device can be brought back to life after such issues. Regarding your Windows license key problem, you’re right that BIOS flashing can sometimes lead to a mismatch, especially if the OEM key gets overwritten or replaced. Fortunately, since you have the original Windows key saved, you’re on the right track.
For users experiencing similar issues, it’s vital to back up the key before attempting any BIOS modifications. If you’re dealing with a tablet that has BIOS corruption, like in the case of your Hibook, following a process similar to what you did—carefully comparing corrupted and official BIOS files—can work, though it requires a lot of patience and precision. Also, when flashing the BIOS, make sure to check if the key is tied to the hardware itself. If you’re still encountering Windows activation issues, reinstalling Windows using the recovery option or through a fresh install might also resolve the problem.
Just as you’d restore an important app like WhatsApp when reinstalling, it’s all about ensuring the underlying system is intact after the fix. Keep us posted on your progress!
