Hi,
I received my X8 yesterday in the mail but discovered a couple of issue with it I've had to work through.
1. The device would occasionally not start or crash due to the screen getting artifacts and tearing. I worked out this was due to a mechanical issue with the build as I could make it come and go by using just the lightest touch at various points of the screen and casing. The temporary fix was to loosen the two screws closest to the front edge of the device, leading me to believe there is excess pressure being placed on the LCD due to the thermal pads.
2. Sparks come out of the power jack when connecting the plug pack cable to the device when it is plugged into the mains. This happened each time using three different 12V 2, 2.4 and 2.5 amp DC plug packs. The X8 design may require some filtering?
I bought one of these devices as a test, and if they were good I would buy a few more. But until Pipo do something about this I feel a little uneasy about it, especially the sparks from the power jack.
Has anyone else experienced any of the above?
Cheers.
