Chuwi Hi10 SD card problems.  (SN# Q64G42151106060)

I received my Chuwi Hi10 in January 2016.  Things worked fine for 2 months.  I had installed a 64gig Samsung Evo xc SD card, which worked great.  I started running out of room on the card and decided to try a Sandisk 128gig which was also working fine for about a week or two.  The extra storage was great! Then the 128gig SD card started failing.

Sometimes the SD card would work and sometimes Win10 would not recognize the memory card at all.  Checking the Device Manager I could see an error in the SD Storage Class Controller.

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}

The requested operation was unsuccessful.

 

I tried uninstalling the driver but the error returned on reboot.  The original 64gig Samsung card also produced the same error.  I also bought a brand new Samsung 32gig with the same problem.  It is definitely not the SD cards. I used an SD to USB card reader and all the cards work perfectly.  I even installed the SD cards in my Laptop they all work great. I can read and write to each card using the SD to USB reader.

The weird part is that I installed an 8gig Sandisk (HC) SD card, this card works great.  I can read and write to the card with no problems and I have yet to have any problems with it.

I flashed the BIOS with the file I found in the Techtablets forum with no change.  I am really at a loss to understand what is going on. I also went to Chuwi and downloaded the new BIOS update C106_B101UAN.608 and reflashed the BIOS again.  No help, same problem.

I was wondering if it has anything to do with how much memory I have left in my internal memory.  I only have 10gig left of internal storage.  Maybe it’s similar to needing hard drive space to page virtual memory.  The only way to figure that out would be to reset the Hi10 and start over or keep removing software and see if the SD card starts to work.  It took me a while to setup the Hi10 with all the software I like.  I would hate to have to wipe everything out and start over.

It is a real bummer, this was a big selling point for me and now it doesn’t work correctly. I can and do limp along with the USB card reader.  It would be nice if the storage was internal.  I am amazed at the driver date.     (SD Storage Class controller Date) is 6/21/2006

I ordered a new HP Spectre laptop.  When I receive my new laptop and set it up with the same software I will be able to start deleting software and maybe even restore the Hi10.

If anyone has anything to add please let me know.

Thanks
