OK that means that at least the BIOS is running, and getting as far as initialising the USB port. I'm not sure where it's getting stuck though. Try pressing Delete (all the time) to get into the BIOS settings. BE CAREFUL IF YOU GET IN, the wrong setting (especially USB settings) can brick it completely (that happened to me). You can also try F11 (IIRC) to get the Boot menu.

I have already seen it. It could be a BIOS settings screwup, or it could be a hardware fault. Do you have any idea what happened to it? For example, maybe someone dropped it?

I tried to apply the dual bios like this post bellow

[Windows 8 General] _gl:
I have no other ideas - well except opening the tablet up and reflashing the chip directly using a programmer. But this is very advanced work, and it's easy to damage the tablet just opening it up (I cracked the digitizer).

Also that thread was about the W3F, this is the W3 thread, they are different tablets. Which one do you have?
[Windows 8 General] Fredy Oliva:
I have PIPO W3 64GB 3G

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

I insert the USB drive using the OTG adapter with the original W3 BIOS renamed and the USB led flashing. In this case, the tablet is trying to access the USB?
[Windows 8 General] _gl:
Ah so that dual-boot thread was for the W3F, that's probably why yours is bricked. I'm sorry but there is no known recovery mode to reflash the BIOS as Pipo apparently did not provide one (eg. by holding the volume buttons when you boot, it seems to do nothing on the W3). That's why I had to open mine up and manipulate the BIOS chip directly.
[Windows 8 General] Fredy Oliva:
But when did you open your tablet, did it come back to work?
[Windows 8 General] _gl:
.. let me rephrase, I don't know about any W3 BIOS recovery method. Try emailing Pipo. As your USB port still works, maybe you can reflash the correct BIOS somehow.

My problem was that I changed some BIOS settings which accidentally disabled the USB port completely (and so also the keyboard which uses USB), + I made the tablet accidentally boot into the UEFI shell. This meant that I could not start Windows, couldn't use any keyboard at all to get back into the BIOS - basically it was soft-bricked. I needed to just reset the BIOS settings to their defaults, but nothing I tried (holding volume buttons during start etc.) worked. So I was forced to open up the tablet, and gambled on shorting out the right BIOS chip pins at the right moment during boot. This did work to reset the BIOS settings and everything worked again. (see full details here).

It might not work for you as you have flashed the wrong tablet's BIOS, correct? So it's probably not a settings problem, but that the BIOS is written for different hardware and can't completely boot a W3. You really need to get the correct BIOS back on there.

There is still a way to do that if you open the tablet. But it involves buying a BIOS programmer (if yours has the same chip as mine it has to be 1.8V compatible, most cheap ones aren't) and some way to control it. Then you can (theoretically) attach it directly to the chip and flash the correct BIOS onto it. You might be better off sending the tablet back though, I know it's expensive but unless you're experienced, the risk of damage is very high.

Hi

A couple more days before I installed Windows 10 to pipo w3. However, this can not go from sleep mode. Sleep when I press the power button until forced to shut down for 10 seconds continuously. Keyboard, power button or the Windows key does not wake. Screen feels a little light, but the screen remains black. What could be and how can I solve the problem? Did you also? Sory my bad English.
[Windows 8 General] xlochman:
Hi, the problem with the sleep mode is due to the VGA drivers. Make sure you have this version: 10.18.10.3540

Another problem which I cannot solve is disabling auto updates of this driver. Windows are now really stupid with this function. They reinstall this working version of the driver with the newer but crappy version every week and I am not able to stop them of doing it. Is there anyone who solved this issue?

Rotation fix for windows 10 on w3f

I hadn't seen a solution to the rotation problem before (either it not working at all, or the rotation being off by 90 degrees, or both), so I thought I'd post it here.

Having downloaded and extracted the "PiPo W3F Windows Drivers Auto Installer" package from the techtablets.com/pipo-w3f/downloads/ site, navigated to "驱动/G-sonser/20140626" and run the installer, edit the kionix_sensor_orientation.reg and change the "Orientation" line so that the first 01 becomes 00, e.g.

"Orientation"=hex:01,01,00,00,01,01,02

becomes

"Orientation"=hex:00,01,00,00,01,01,02

Then double click the .reg file to install it (click OK on the warning). You can also locate the entry in regedit and modify it that way too.

Reboot, and the rotation lock option should now appear in the action center (if it wasn't there already) and work as expected.

Hopefully this will work for people other than me. The first 4 bits controls how the rotation works (presumably as different manufacturers mount the sensor in different orientations) so depending on the precise version of the hardware you're using you might need to make your own adjustments.

Can anyone get the windows system image for the Pipo W3 from baidu?

I´ve had to reset the tab after updating it to win 10 for my girlfriend. She didn´t like it much so I had to downgrade to 8.1, whereupon I started having troubles. 8.1 started crashing and freezing at startup, not even letting me update drivers or do a windows update. Thinking of a fresh start I went for a factory reset, unfortunately thats when things went horribly wrong. I´m now stuck with a restore loop that hangs at various percentages no matter how much time is given. I need to get my hands on the windows system images linked but can´t get past downloading from baidu, even after having successfully setting up an account (with some trouble) and am still up the proverbial creek. Seriously, if anyone can help me there´s some karmic points to be won. Point me in the right direction and I´d greatly appreciate it.

Pipo W3F install issue

Hi guys - would appreciate any help on my issue. I have a W3f that I had upgraded to Win 10. I then struck the dreaded blue screen bit with Defender not liking a file known as WdFilter.sys. I tried to revert to Win 8.1 but something screwed up and there is either nothing or corrupted files in the Windows partition. I flashed the Bios successfully with the TechTablets Bios. However, I cannot get Windows on a USB stick (formatted with Rufus) recognized in order to install. Anyone have any suggestions? On another note, has anyone noticed that the keyboard for the Pipo will not allow you to type a :, only a - . I've had to use a WiFi keyboard to get past this?

Hey,

I have been using my W3 a lot with windows 8.1 but now and loving in. But I need to have another, non windows os for work purposes.

I want to try to run a live SD card with linux on it. Does anyone know how to boot from a mircoSD? I was searching in the UEFI settings but can't seem to find it. I did came across the OS selection option where I could choose between Windows 8.xand Android. Does everybody have this choice? Looks like it could have some potential...

View attachment 3475596

Anyway, what I am looking for is something like a boot priority option where I can choose usb or SD. Or is there another way tot boot a live microsd? If someone could help me with that I would love to write a detailed tutorial or make a video on how to dualboot linux from a live usb/SD.

Thanks alot!

---

Btw over time my W3 is doing less and less, lots of the internal hardware doesnt seem to have any life span what-so-ever, a few months ago i was still ok with it due to the low price, but by now half the hardware is dead, kind of crappy, doubt my next 'cheap windows tablet' will be from PIPO.

EDIT: That said, i am a bit jealous now, looking at recent PIPO tablets (W1S) they now use a keyboard very similar too the ones ASUS uses for their transformer tablets (maybe even the same one, with a different connector?) and from experience i know those are downright great, not in the least because you can actually use that on your lap due too there being a sturdy hinge allowing a whole range of angles, rather then some fabric you can only fold into 1 (or 2) angles.

EDIT2: Asked PIPO if the W1S keyboard would fit the W3 by any chance, they're looking into it, will report back what they say.

EDIT3: Bummer, they are not compatible

Hi, I`m sort of newby on this forum so beg me pardon if I place this in the wrong way.

I received my w3f 2 weeks ago. All is working fine except one thing: the micro usb port does not work properly

When i attach a usb disk via the OTG cable, the usb disk is found and can be used, however the device does not charge on this port.

I tought i have read that it should charge using a normal 5v usb charger but i might be wrong.

The other Micro usb aspect not working is when I connect the tablet to my pc (while in android on the tablet and win 10 on my pc).

I have enabled usb debugging on the tablet and tried both Media transfer and camera mode. When I connect, I don't see any changes

(read new appearances) in my windows device manager (not even unknown devices or the exclamation mark).

I've been trough the USB settings in the BIOS, but i`m a bit afraid to change them after reading some story where people accidentally switched of the whole usb functionality

and can't get into bios again to fix it.

Many thanks for any help in advance.

problem with wifi together bluetooth

Hello all,

I have buyed similar tablet PIPO W3F with android and windows 8.1 .I have found problem with wifi together bluetooth . I was experiencing slow wi-fi speeds when is connect bluetooth speaker JBL CHARGE . When then I watching HD video in youtube ,wifi works slow/video freezes-missing data from wifi/ . As soon as disconnected from bluetooth Turned Off Bluetooth , my Wi-Fi connection would work correct again, allowing me to browse the internet and youtube . When I turned bluetooth back on and paired my wireless speaker, the wi-fi connection would drop again. I did this a couple of times to make sure it wasn't a coincidence.

My Bluetooth signal is probably interfering with my Wi-Fi connection. /wifi is 2,4 GHZ and bluetooth is too 2,4GHZ /

Have you this problem too?? Is there some kind of fix I can work on myself? Please help me .

Hi, anyone having issues with the front camera in windows 10 on the W3?

The rear seems camera works fine, soon as i select front camera the tablet would BSOD. Get the error "The PC ran into a problems and needs to restart".

I selected the imaging device in device manager and ran a "update Driver software" it found a newer driver and after a reboot the rear camera wouldn't even work. Had to run a roll back.

So far it shows as "Intel Imaging Signal Processor 2400", driver version 14.32.12.281.

Updating the camera changes it to "Intel AVStream Camera", when i open the camera app all i get is Something went wrong, make sure the camera is connected and not being used by another app.

Pipo W3 EFI only ! not bios access or windows access // Hard brick

Hi all,

Sorry I don't know for the camera, mine is hard brick !

After installation of Windows 10, I try to reinstall it again because I had no WIFI/bluetooth card detected and impossible to add drivers. I try many many drivers ...

The tablet is no stuck on EFI shell, not even an acess to the bios settings ! The problem is really that I cannot go out this EFI mode because it's impossible to use the keyboard correctly ! I can plug an USB and write FSO command but not with ":" which is not anymore alow on my keyboard !! It's really stupid !! Do you have a solution to unbrick it ? Maybe a clear CMOS or something ? Do you I have to open the tablet to do the clear CMOS and how to do it ? or is there an other solution ? I try to contact Pipo and some resellers on my country. They said that Pipo doesn't offer any support anymore and that they stopped this brand which is almost dead not !!

Thanks in advance guys ! I don't want to throw it away ! I still have to protective film when you buy it !!! The tablet is almost new!!

See if there's a special key combination to hold at boot to reset the BIOS. The W3 didn't have one AFAIKT. It's criminal that they don't add this, given how easy it is to brick your tablet. One of the many reasons why I gave up on Chinese tabs and went with a Surface 2 Pro (cheap, powerful but heavy/thick).

If USB still works, maybe you can stick a BIOS file on a flash drive, sometimes giving it a special name makes the device flash it blind. Figure out which BIOS you have (Ami etc) and Google for the typical recovery BIOS flashing procedures, it might work.

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

As I said in my PM, you can also try hitting Delete over and over as soon as it powers up, that should get you into the BIOS where you can fix the problem. But be VERY careful not to change anything else that can brick the tab, and stay WELL clear of any USB settings (or you'll have my problem :eek: ).
