My current setup is with a bluetooth mouse, A usb internet stick (80MB/s) A 1tb SSD from usb 3.0 port headphones (speakers are fried from kitchen oven) I made a new powerbrick (12V 4A) the main thing is that it does not get hot and makes a very solid connection. guys I game GTA 5 on this machine, battlefield 2, Need for speed world, rollercoaster tycoon 2, runescape (osrs) productivity work (3d slicing for 3D printer) foto editing and video on windows movie maker. Its still a great machine. 4GB of ram and 5y10c really is enuff for so many things. I can even playback 1440P video on YouTube without that many dropped frames. Windows 10 has been incredibly stable for me

Decided to drag my Cube i7 Stylus into this decade. 😂 Was going to get a laptop, then a tablet, then realised for the little money I was wanting to spend this thing still probably holds up.

Have ordered a UK plug (from China ofc) as I was sick of the adapter combo falling off under the weight and losing charge. Just looking to upgrade the SSD and this transcend 512GB is tempting. Anyone know if it would work ok?

Amazon.co.uk : m2 2242 512
[Windows 8 General] Random Username:
If it's a SATA SSD, it should work fine.
[Windows 8 General] sHAYM4N:
Sorry wrong link, yes its a SATA III Transcend 512GB

Hi

Anyone still using this device

I had my device since 2015

At 2020 its stopped charging

I tried to fix it with no benefit

Even local repair guys can't

Anyone has the diagram of the main board

Or the IC that is supposed to do charging

Or power IC

I tried to charge battery directly but it didn't help it won't turn on

yeah me too, the bios v4 + xtu config makes my tablet works fine too. :)

The only issue i have for now is somehow the function "erase" of my original stylus does not work.. I can write but i can not erase , strange.
[Windows 8 General] vegitto4:
Hi, if I use v4 bios + Intel XTU, the intel software needs to be started every time I turn on the tablet or the settings remain saved even if the software isn't open?

Thank you and sorry for stupid question :)
[Windows 8 General] majkel_94:
Calibration

Guys, what can you say about the accuracy of writing with stylus?

On default settings and old driver *.12 everything was quite ok, just a little (1mm) inaccuracy and also in corners it was bad.

When I used the windows calibration in control panel, the corners was ok but center of the screen was really, really bad and I had to roll back to default.

Now I installed the official wacom *.17 driver which have their own calibration tool, I even changed the DPI scalling to 100% to have it working ok.

But still after that, it's hard to calibrate the stylus - I can point the dots again and again, even the advanced corner calibration - it's quite ok then but stiill in some parts it points 2-3mm below pen.

Also the top corners are horrible and the edge bellow is quite inaccurate - it's hard to type in hand-write recognition keyboard in portrait mode.

And now I can't go back to default settings, I have to restore my backup image of partition :/

Do you also have some problems with accuracy and calibration or I'm just too demanding customer for a cheap chineese device? :P
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=2941609]vegitto4[/MENTION]

Those settings should survive a reboot, as the XTU service that is started automatically applies it to the system.

However it can occur that the settings reset to default after a system crash or if bios settings are changed, check them occasionally on the Intel software and you should be safe.

[MENTION=5007424]majkel_94[/MENTION]

I remember that those problems were pretty common on the Surface Pro too, further driver updates may improve accuracy, but i think this is a limitation of the wacom digitizer technology.

Probably one of the reasons why Microsoft switched to N-Trig with the Pro 3.

Windows 8.1 activation

Hi all,

Do you have any idea how can i activate Win8 for this tablet?

I have done a factory reset after I received the device but since than it cannot be activated.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows 8 General] obi-lan:
I got same MS account on 4 different devices including Windows Phone. Shouldn't be a problem. Try to clean store cache by running program called "WSReset.exe". Also I cannot guarantee it but so far what I've seen Windows 8 keys haven't been tied to language or architecture (x86 vs x64), same key has worked as long version has matched (home, pro etc).
[Windows 8 General] mixterz:
happened to me the other day. think a maintance program removed the store completely . did a system restore and fresh install. still didn't work. had to format the ssd externally then do a clean install for it to work again. all the help online with command prompt failed.
[Windows 8 General] NisseN123:
Download kms pico from mydigitallife and run it.

Or if you want a real activation, connect mouse and keybord, load w7, run a program called loader and convert to w10.
[Windows 8 General] alessio9899:
Does this tablet work better with 8.1,upgraded win 10 or clean install win 10? Thanks
[Windows 8 General] rilot:
I picked up a tempered glass screen protector for a Surface Pro 2 and it fits perfectly. The cutout for the camera is in the wrong place but meh, don't care about that.

The one I got has an anti-fingerprint coating too so it makes the device much nicer to use. Pen works perfectly too.

For charging by the way, if you're having trouble finding a charger with the correct connector and high enough power then get a 5.5mm to 3.5mm barrel adapter. Then you can use any of the 100s of 12V chargers that are available on the market with 5.5mm connectors. I bought a couple of them and now I have plenty of available chargers.

[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION], what's the purpose of combo BIOSv4+XTU, isn't it enough using XTU to down the temperature? Thanks for all your efforts!

Enviado desde mi SM-G850F mediante Tapatalk
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=3532958]mnemix[/MENTION]

The Bios were meant to adjust thermal point temperatures to reduce heat as well, but yes it's more effective to just reduce TDP with XTU.

Now it exists mainly for the logo i guess.
[Windows 8 General] mnemix:
Then, if I only want to adjust TDP limits to down the temperature, is enough to play with XTU, isn't it? The AMI logo is ok for me. Thanks!

[Windows 8 General] murakh:
Strangely enough I pulled mine out a few weeks back and it also would not charge. Decided to take it apart myself and I eventually found that the surface mounted + tab from the DC input socket had pulled off the PCB (including pulling some of the copper trace off). There was only the smallest amount of movement though so it was initially hard to tell it had actually pulled off.

There is a tiny test point just "inwards" from the DC socket so if you are not getting any power onto the PCB then that could be the issue? I managed to scrape off the coating to reveal enough copper trace to the test point that I could re-solder the DC socket tab and now all works fine again.

[Windows 8 General] MackKnife:
I may have colossally messed up with mine... I wanted to sell it to a friend but tried to reformat it using a Win10 image like an idiot, and now all it does is BSoD on boot.

Is there any way to make sure this works again? I tried looking for install images of it but all it led me to were Baidu links several months ago of which I was simply too stressed out to understand how to download from.
[Windows 8 General] zdanee:
You should be able to reinstall it from a standard Windows ISO on a flashdrive, but you'll need drivers for the rotation sensor, touchscreen and the Wacom digitizer. I changed the SSD and reinstalled it that way. I think Windows could download the drivers all by itself too, but ping me if it doesn't and I'll try to extract that from my install.
[Windows 8 General] oeriel:
I was gone for a long time. I don't know if the topic is still alive, but my tablet is fine. I have some information that may be helpful to someone.

Battery​

My Cube i7S already had a battery replaced once, purchased from Ali. It lasted maybe a year and a half and it started to swell. The voltage is ok, it keeps well, but it has grown. So much so that it pushed the bottom of my screen with touch out of the bezel. I took it out quickly and was temporarily without batteries.

I ordered two cells, 3.09mm thick and sized so that 2 pieces take up half the space inside the tablet.

It is enough for me, it is about 65% of the original, but I have to have any time if the power goes out. So that I can write everything down calmly.

Calibrated battery, soldered to the old module of the previous battery.

So... Cost of battery (2 cells of 2400 mAh) was about: 10$

Normal battery that can be bought is a cos of 40$ (including taxes and all). But most important is that I can do my own battery, I am independent of whether these batteries will be still or not.

3G slot​

The second thing - interesting - is a certain connector on the motherboard. There is a plug with 10 paths - 3G.

I have the right tape and a 3G input and card. Normally I connected it all, inserted the SIM card. Then the drivers and ... I have a mobile network and internet in my tablet. This connector works, nothing needs to be soldered, nothing in the BIOS, etc. I will add photos in my free time.

The tablet is still in use, I consider it one of the best so far. You can really expand it (for a tablet). Of course, they could improve the WiFi and BT signal but that's another topic.

[Windows 8 General] gbru2505:
I'm running Windows 11 on my i7. The windows "button" is buzzing a lot on boot. Holding it for 10-20 second seems to stop it, but I'm looking for a way to touch the haptic feedback off. Apparently the old surface tablets can have a similar problem with no easy fix.
[Windows 8 General] zdanee:
Very weird bug: I've updated the tablet to W10 21H2 and now the battery does not report it's percentage. It still charges and it runs for just about the same time it used to, but it reports 0% all the time. I'm not sure if it's due to a cheaper replacement battery (it used to work on W10 1909) or some new drivers. I kinda wish I've kept the old battery, I could try if it shows it's percentage... Anyone else on 21H2 with this bug?
[Windows 8 General] zdanee:
Quick update for anyone facing this in the future: disconnecting the main battery for about 10 minutes and reconnecting it fixed the issue.

Hi, I don't know if anyone still using this tablet but I want to know if any have and want to share a system image, I saw one in the page AlldoCube but I cannot download from those servers...

I have this tablet with Fedora working pretty good on it, everything works cept auto rotation with the latest f38.

If you really need such feature, it did work in previous versions.

Touch screen gets a little unresponsive when the device heats up a little, but plug in a mouse and keyboard its working perfectly.

It's had a copper mod, as well as an upgrade to 512gb ssd.

It's perfect as a media device. It gets hooked up to the projector for home cinema as it can charge with the d/c while the usb is connected to the hdmi.

Good morning,

I have been using this Cube i7 stylus, windows 10, for several years.

A while ago, I successfully installed a Bios version published in this forum (version 6.1). Now my:

BIOS Version = XDA 6.1, 15-Dec-15

SMBIOS Version = 2.8

Embedded Controller Version = 255.255

BIOS Mode = UEFI

I decided reinstall windows from a bootable USB and this is when I realized that BIOS usb boot option is not available.

My aim was trying to flash the original Bios version, but this hardware seems to be too old and the links are out of date everywhere.

The point is that it seems to be nothing wrong with the BIOS version I am working with, except for the usb port issue. I have also checked that the usb port is working at boot level because I am able to connect a usb keyboard, but when entering the bios setup, the usb option does not appear in the boot menu.

Could anybody help me on this, providing the original BIOS binary file, together with a flashing procedure?

Muy idea was replacing Bios61.bin with OriginalBios.bin an rerun the scripts i used for flashing Bios61.bin.

Thank you in avance,

Kind regards, Javier.

[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] Did you remove the heatsink on the CPU/GPU die? Just wondering is there another heatpad under it or thermal paste. I might replace the pads with higher performance ones and add more pads on the heat spreader to have more contact with the outer casing. Could lower temps a bit and allow for longer a turbo or higher clocks when running at max load. I have some arctic cooling thermal pads around here somewhere that might be better. Or even use some IC diamond 7 I have on the CPU and GPUand the pads on the top.

I have a spare Sandisk X110 2260 128GB M.2 SSD from a Dell Venue 11 Pro, it might just fit with a bit of a hack and I could glue or tape the end in place. this way I don't have to buy a new 2242 drive :)

[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
There is indeed another thermalpad under the cpu/chipset and ram. These are unfortunately needed as the gap between the chips and the heatspreader isn't small enough for thermal paste to have contact with.

Might be possible, there is an additional mounting sheet under the mainboard which hold the ssd:

When you remove it, you may have enough room to mount the larger ssd.

You need to revert the custom wacom driver and use the default windows driver instead. Version 2600 was already on my device so this firmware version (unfortunately) won't improve the condition.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
Fixed Wacom Driver 7.3.1.3

Run Testmode.cmd at first, it will enable windows testmode which makes it possible to install unsigned drivers.
