So I've learned. When I was searching for the cost of a legally obtained valid key, I only came across Microsoft's own price. I even called and ask, remembering that I'd bought keys for less in the past... but I couldn't find them, so I was stuck. I've since learned you can get better deals and completely legal keys on ebay.

I don't feel particularly bad about this $80 though, since it was pulling teeth the whole way. The seller lied to me bluntly several times, admitted to using the false activation, and then backpedaled and lied again. If he had been honest with me upfront maybe I'd be more sympathetic, but I don't appreciate being lied to.

Could you provide a photo of that USB?

Is it normal USB with option of external power (for more demanding devices as eg. disks) - like this:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Blac...-Switch-EU-Power-Adapter-For/32359935040.html

or is it a USB OTG HUB, that allows you charging and OTG at the same time - like this:?

Hello, for those who's looking for a sleeve for i7 stylus with the original keyboard, I want to share with you the one I just received(please ignore if some one shared already :D).

The product is Kamor® 10" 10.1" inch Canvas Fabric Tablet Sleeve Case. So I was kinda worrying about the size sinze it says for 10.1". But after reading the inside dimension I decided to give it a try. Here's the pictures.

And it actually holds my i7 stylus(with keyboard) very nicely, just like it is built for the tablet.

However an i7 stylus without the keyboard would be a bit too thin to have a snug fit, and an i7 stylus with a folding case which you can find from those Chinese selling websites would be too long to fit in. And, it seems to have only one color option.

There is decent thickness of padding, and is claimed to have a water resistant layer. You can find it on amazon :).

Need Help Please: Windows 10 started freezing randomly

Today i ran into windows 10 freezing on me. I was scanning the cube i7 stylus using Windows Defender and it froze once said something about there was a problem with windows and windows reset and checked my bios, booted and it froze again after reboot and clicked on the start menu.

I updated all my windows updates and also was able to scan using windows defender. Seems like it happens more then im on my control panel.

I been reading that there has been problems with windows 10 and driver issues.

Current programs i have on here is VLC, Chrome, Paint Tool Sai, Krita, and Facebook from the MS store.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Should i update the drivers from that driver pack provided?

Thank you for any help in advance

Update: I updated the BIO's to V12 but when i tried to use the native windows update drive option on the sound controller it froze half way into download the window became "not responsive" I will update the sound from the front link provided.

Update: I installed everything on the front page and hope it works...hopefully i fixed the problem.

Hi guys,

I too also bought a cube i7 stylus during the sale. After upgrading to Windows 10, I tried to reinstall a clean Windows 10 via USB, but now, my device is constantly hanging on the "American Megatrends" initial screen, then shuts down and goes back to that image page. I can't get into any menus to choose my boot method at all, and I've tried having the USB connected via USB 3.0 as well as through the keyboard dock with effect...

Has anyone had this happen before? Or does anyone know how this issue can be resolved?

Thanks

I wanted to thank you for all your efforts in modding and support that you provided for this tablet.

I also have one request. If it is not too much of a hassle for you, could you put all stuff that you modified such as wi-fi antenna, copper heat sink etc. with photos and info in first post? I think it would be great to have all in first post, not only software modifications but and other useful hardware modifications.

Thanks!

EDIT: Ooops its already there, I need to buy another glasses lol. Ignore this, thanks!

EDIT2: Maybe just add your latest posts regarding modifications that are in thread, such as adding slightly bigger copper plate, and altering wi-fi antenna position.. (maybe there are more if I missed some..)

Today I have received ordered item - glass on screen. Bought $11, but ... arrived broken. Despite styrofoam package there was a broken corner. Generally glass fits to Cube i7 Stylus - screen looks very good and touching pen/stylus works great.

When I've tried to put this broken glass on, I have discovered that Cube have not only this protective film as I thought - that was only protective film, for protective film 0;)

Below was new film, that was quite good... But decides to replace it with this glass.

I don't know to do, this glass is broken, but this "line" is off screen so don't affect my work. But also... it can loose anytime and then I have to replace this glass. I want refund, but this glass is ok.

[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION]

Have you noticed anything on your travels through the BIOS that might increase the power available from the USB3 port? It seems to only put out 250mA which isn't enough to power a USB HDD or the GbE adaptor I have (although that works fine in the USB2 ports on the keyboard, albeit slowly).
[Windows 8 General] Aicene:
Bingo :good: Thanks for idea! Now I understand, what is wrong with my adapter. It doesn't have enough power! But actually it's a big buuuu... to Cube :mad: Is it so big problem to make properly :mad: But may be there are solution for that?
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
You might try this to enter the efi shell:

Connect external Keyboard to Device -> Reboot -> Press DEL to enter Bios

Save & Exit -> Launch EFI Shell from filesystem device

There are probably more devices than fs0 and you have to manually identify the usb storage:

map -r

This will remap all connected storage devices, if you see a USB device reference this is most likely your device.

Then you can select device #4 (just for example) and check if you see some familiar data:

fs4:
ls

[MENTION=6872100]Aicene[/MENTION] and [MENTION=258505]rilot[/MENTION]

Same error i guess, i haven't found anything relevant yet but i will take a look.

[Windows 8 General] Aicene:
I forget to say, there are new hardware sound, when I attach it to USB3, but it doesn't appear in Network adapters, nor Device Manager. Now it's almost clear ;)

Hi everyone !

I have my i7 stylus for 2 weeks now. I've updated the tablet to windows 10 just after receiving it. It's working great... except for Wifi.

Each time I connect to the wifi, the tablet lags and freeze (but no BSOD) so I need to hard reboot it.

I'm sure that's the Wifi (drivers or antenna) because if I use a Wifi dongle on USB, the tablet works well and has no problem...

I saw that other members have this issue, so I want to share my experience hoping that we could find a solution.

Here is what I tried to fix the issue :

1- I've updated the drivers (using the drivers pack of the first page). It didn't fix the problem, but now the tablet lags, freeze and finish with a BSOD when I connect to the wifi.

2- I've opened the tablet to put aluminium foil on the wifi antenna. It worked well for 2 days... but after that the tablet get back to BSOD.

So, either my Bios is not good OR there is still an hardware problem (perhaps the wifi antenna cable which is really close to the SSD...) ?

I didn't update the Bios since my tablet has the American Megatrends (07/16/2015) and I thought that is the latest version. Am I right ?

[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION]

You've made lot of Bios versions during the past weeks on this forum and I really thank you for all your work.

But it's actually hard to know if we need to update or not the Bios.

Could you please add some informations on the Bios Update post like :

- What is the build date of the Bios proposed ?

- Do I need to flash the tablet if it cames with American Megatrends Bios ?

Thanks a lot everyone. If you have any suggestion, I'll be glad to try it ;)
[Windows 8 General] Aicene:
There are most common BIOS on first page. As well as other "must have" soft and drivers. You should choose by yourself, change BIOS or not. Main difference from other BIOS'es are better TDP. That's mean how hot it became under load. As wel as Intel XTU are welcome too.
[Windows 8 General] Wootever:
[MENTION=2314095]skubx[/MENTION]

More important than the date is the actual revision number, since 07/16/2015 is a V8 Bios i would recommend you to update to the current V12.

Got it finally today!

It looks very nice. I have 2 quick questions.

1.) How can I set virtual keyboard to appear when I click on text section such as address or search bar? (win 8.1, I don't want to use win 10)

Every time I want to use it I need to click on it and it also doesn't move app above itself but it just cover half of the screen. It's very annoying.

2.) I tested pen and I was applying hard pressure on various parts of screen, and it scratched this weak screen protector quite bad.

Should I be worried about the screen under it? I ordered tempered screen protector and I will apply it as soon as I get it, but I'm not sure if I scratched screen also... Maybe someone who scratched this weak screen protector and later removed it can tell me was screen under ok?

Thanks!
[Windows 8 General] Aicene:
You can't do that with keyboard in Win 8.1, only Win 10. Don't worry about screen protector, it's not real protector, only for transportation. Use it till you get new one. You should push very hard to damage screen under this film. I guess ;)
[Windows 8 General] Trepanator56:
Unless the source is wrong, for example:

You can use Ultimate PID Checker to verify the serial. (Note: Windows 8.1 serials can only be verified under Windows 8.1, Windows 10 uses a different key configuration layout)

[MENTION=1141954]Luis2u4u[/MENTION]

I have no exact measurements as my copper heatspreader didn't fit good enough.

The problem is that the casing isn't completely static, some light pressure from the back transfers the pressure on the mainboard and display which can loosen the display glass, but you need to have already some decent pressure to cover the entire cpu with the heatspreader (that's why most heatspreaders are fixed on the mainboard). Use some midsize thermal pads for the cpu / ram and adhere some copper sheet on the backcover.

My previous approach is probably less effective but simpler and more secure. This is also what i'm currently using.

Ouch, I hoped it is working :( But did you try to use it or not? Bought actually on Ebay two antennas, but I am afraid that have short cable.
