Cant work out if youre asking if the RAM upgrade is possible for the PX5 or whether its possible to upgrade your MTCB unit to a PX5.

The RAM probably is but it would be pointless as it has 2Gb anyway and no MTCB/C units are not compatible with the PX5 SoM.
[MTCB Hardware Development] jaume2971:

For the SECOND time NO - the MTCD PX5 upgrade thread CLEARLY states its for "MTCD units" in the title !!

seems EBBG/FBBG chips are EOL and not available to order...new revision coming september/october.

this is info from official IM handler.

I want to make my multimedia device mtcc kld6 px3 1 gb ram, device px5 2 ram
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
Not possible, the upgrade is only for MTCD units.

We are working on trying to make N work on MTCB/C RK3188/PX3 devices, there are also rumours of a RK3188/PX3 SoM with 2Gb RAM and N being available at some point.
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
You CANNOT upgrade to PX5 !!!!
[MTCB Hardware Development] eblackie:
Any idea where to get a MTCB/RK3188 PX3 SoM with 2 Gig's ? I searched the whole net, no luck. My device is now open for 7foor's mod, so i could do this upgrade easy :D

I know it, it's impossible for me to do this microscopic bga soldering ram upgrade, never did this before, thats why i need the whole board, if possible, with preinstalled N ;)
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
You cant get them, hence the existence of this thread !

You can buy the chips and pay someone to do it for you as many others have done in this thread.

i'm not so far from going to order this: YINUO 6.95'', in hope, the Pumpkin usb-rear-connectors are compatible, but with no idea if 7floors mod will work there.
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
Interesting, looks like an MTCD unit, but the SWC screen is MTCB, it probably is MTCD but I have heard rumours of an MTCB/C unit with 2Gb RAM and Nougat.

Pumpkin are sellers only, there are no Pumpkin units, they sell units from various companies so it will depend on what unit it was that had the rear usb connectors - KLD MTCB/C units have the same connectors at the back as their MTCD units, but they wouldnt fit KGL or JY units. The MCU version in settings/about device will tell you who manufactured your old unit.
[MTCB Hardware Development] eblackie:
Yes, for real, my Pumpkin unit has no logo, it seem to be a neutral radio, from outside... inside it tells me, (Klyde?) MTCB-KLD6-V2.86 from May 04 2016 17:36:42. I was very impressed how qualitatively the soldering and the processing is when opened it.

The screen of this YINUO is maybe 840x400, i can't figure out, but the 319€ Version has a DAB module as goodie in the package. :o Of course, would be interesting from what manufacturer be made.
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
You do not have a Pumpkin unit, as I said Pumpkin as a retailer, you have a Klyde MTCB unit (KLD) ! :)

Yes Klyde build is pretty good.

I d be interested to hear about the new one if you get it.
[MTCB Hardware Development] eblackie:
sorry, did not mean Pumpkin as 'Pumpkin unit', allready understood, it's just a retailer :)

Yes, i will report on the new one, but i will decide this purchase tomorow, cause the delivery time seems long, up to 25th of September... :(

Could there be a chance to implement 7floors mod ?
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
As long as it is an MTCB, MTCC or MTCD unit then yes.
[MTCB Hardware Development] KaMu1219:
I have a PX3 RK3188 SoM to sell, upgraded to 2 GB RAM and with additional heatsink.

The PX3 ist from a Klyde HU with KLD6 v2.97 MCU.

Original PX3, 1 GB: https://www.dropbox.com/s/32g48k1f6plptip/rk3188_1GBRAM.jpg?dl=0

after 2 GB upgrade: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ou8m4a9als5eioh/rk3188_2GBRAM.jpg?dl=0

with additional heatsink: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2n8tymaen4x1s1j/rk3188_withHeatsink.jpg?dl=0

The radio receiver of the HU is broken, that's why I'm selling the PX3. The PX3 itself works absolutely flawless.

The 2 GB RAM was about 60 EUR, BGA soldering about 72 EUR. I'm selling the PX3 for 140 EUR + shipping from Germany.

If someone is interested in the whole HU (including 7floors sound mod and USB mod, but with broken radio receiver), then PM me. Shipping will be more expensive for the whole HU than for the PX3 solely.

Update: sold

hello friends ,

i did read 70% of the thread and im pretty confused about the ram chip that will fit on my mtcc

[MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] what the full cost mate and how do you want paying and when by
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
Assuming all 11 people actually do go ahead and assuming the shipping for 12 sets to the UK from Hong Kong is the same as 1 set posted to Italy that [MENTION=6716253]Oberbergler[/MENTION] was quoted - the cost will be $40.45 shipped to me, with the cost for postage to your country on top ($36 per set + $49 divided 11).

For you that will be $42.90 or £35.06.
[MTCB Hardware Development] bsavoir22:
So $36+shipping, I'm in. When do we pay
[MTCB Hardware Development] marchnz:
Hi,

I will confirm this weekend as i need to see if the mtcd SOM is readily removable. Would be good to see more interest in this as will reduce costs, surprised that more are not interested!

What would arrangement be if paid and then someone doesnt or opts out, have you thought about the logistics of payment?

Thanks for your efforts in organising this group buy.

Cheers.
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
Well, I will contact the supplier and confirm the price once it has been confirmed I will ask for everyone to pay via paypal,.

Once I have all the money I will buy the items and keep the thread updated with delivery.

Once theyre delivered I will pack them all and take to the post office and get an exact price for each package.

Then I will add the exact cost of each package to each individual to this thread and await payment for the postage from the UK.

Then I will post them out.
[MTCB Hardware Development] pczao:
I'm still in!
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
Cool :)
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
$36 + $49 shipping divided by the number of people who are in, plus shipping from the UK to the US - $8.87. Just as soon as I hear back from the supplier . . .

Problems may arise if not everyone who says they will take part in this group buy actually take part, in which case the $49 shipping will have to be divided by a smaller number of people and the cost will go up from $40.45,

So actually I think, once I ve heard back from the supplier and confirmed prices, I will ask for just the cost of the RAM ( $36, ) from everyone and set a cut off date for taking part, once that date has been reached we then divide the $49 shipping by the number of people actually taking part and then everyone pays their share of the shipping to the UK. Finally once I ve got exact prices from the post office after packaging, I ll ask for a final payment of shipping from the UK.

Payment 1 £36 for the RAM

Payment 2 an equal share of Hong Kong to UK shipping

Payment 3 the shipping from the UK to your country

What does everyone think ?
[MTCB Hardware Development] marchnz:
Yes i am in, thanks. I'd like to see greater numbers of interest, surely others want 2gb units. I will post in mtcd section and see if we can increase numbers.
[MTCB Hardware Development] tipouce:
Hi,

For me it looks fine.

Tell me when you want the first payment.

I'm not in a hurry so greater we will be, lower will be the shipping.

But for the 2nd payement (shipping), if we are numerous enough to have only about $2 (46/20 e.g.), maybe you could ask 1 only payment via paypal (2nd + 3rd) ?

But that will be your choice and i will respect it.

Just tell when you are ready to order and i will send the 1st payment.

Tell us if you want to be paid in £, $ or € (paypal will do the convertion for us)
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
That would be good, but with 11 people we are at $4.45 shipping from Hong Kong to the UK, which is quite cheap, much better than $49.

I would rather do it with 3 payments then we will all know exactly how much shipping is.

I ve heard back from IM, they want to know the board I want to use them on and whether they are for an end customer and if so who, nosey b*stards !

Still at least I got a response, I never heard back from the EU supplier.

Sorry typos1 I'm out.:)
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
OK, fair enough.

There are octacore MTC units coming out soon, so hopefully we will just be able to upgrade the SoM, like many of us did to get quadcore, so I would wait a bit before buying another unit - upgrdaing the SoM would be cheaper than buying a new unit.
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
Shipping to the UK for up to 30 pieces is $60.

The IM8G16D3FBBG-15E modules are the same price as the IM8G16D3EBBG-125I modules.

This means shipping to the UK per person will be $4.62 if all 13 people go ahead.

Hi Typos1,

As the RK3188 can control up to DDR3-1066, and iIf dsa8310 did it with memory modul xxxxxx-125 (DDR3-1600), i think memory xxxxxx-15E (DDR3-1333)could work too.

So for me it's ok for the xxxxxx-15E.

Hi [MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION], [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION]

I look again the documentation, because i was thinking to miss something, of the memory modul IM8G16D3EBBG-125I. It's DDR3 modul 1600Mhz

the IM8G16D3FBBG-15I is DDR3L 1.35V (1.5V tolerant).

From what i read about DDR3L, we can replace DDR3 (1.5v) by DDR3L (1.35v) but not the vice versa.

The standard DDR3L is backward compatible with the DDR3.

[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
Someone just sent me $00.36 in GBP - thanks but its not enough ! I refunded it (but Paypal didnt refund ALL the fees I paid :().

Please pay in US dollars !!

They (I m not revealing real names in a thread and I dont know what their xda username is) also sent it as "goods" so I had to pay a fee, the one other person that paid has done so as a personal payment so I was not charged fees.

This throws up a possible problem - none of us actually knows each other, so I fully understand if people want to pay using the "goods" method as they will get Paypal protection, but if it is done that way then I will pay more than everyone else doing it - I will PAY for being the one who is doing all the arranging and I dont think that is very fair ! But I fully understand why someone would want to pay this way if theyre sending money to someone who is really a total stranger.

So if you want to protect yourself then pay as "goods" but please add on 3.4% as that is Paypal's fee . . . . although having thought about it, if the RAM doesnt work, they could claim against me and I would have the money taken from my Paypal account, so I m not sure I want to be put in that position. So I guess I should say funds should only be sent as a personal payment, which, understandably might put some people off.

What does everyone think, any ideas or suggestions ?

EDIT : now someone else has paid $42.50 !! Its not hard - $36 first payment, no more, no less !!!!!

Ah, right. I refunded that as well because you did it as "goods", see post above.
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
As I said when you mentioned it before, as quick as they are, DHL will add import duty putting the cost up.

Anyway, 4 people have now paid (all as personal payment) so there are 5 of us now including myself waiting to go ahead.

Only 1 person seems to have a problem with the personal payment (and I fully understand why).

A few people could not follow basic instructions basic instructions, a few people pmed and ask "how much do I pay?" and "how much is postage?" despite me setting it all out in this thread !! :rolleyes:

And Paypal seems to autoconvert to dollars, so thats actually no-ones fault.

But actually we are doing ok so far, despite the teething problems.

NOTE: please, make sure its in dollars - Paypal autoconverts payments !!
