Hi.
My Pipo X7 has developed an issue a couple of months ago that I have not been able to troubleshoot.
There is no HDMI output any longer - the monitor just goes to sleep. The Pipo itself works without a problem otherwise - I can VNC as well as RDP into the desktop and use it without a problem like that. Been running it as a server for quite some months. I should mention that the Pipo does not overheat it and has been running at full speed no problems.
What I've tried:
- numerous cables, HDMI & DVI combinations, all of which work otherwise with my other devices
- two different monitors (that includes the one that used to work), both of which work with my other devices
- various graphic drivers - brand new, original to the Pipo X7 (gotten off this forum - thanks!), original to the motherboard from last year..no dice
- tried cleaning the actual HDMI socket on the Pipo too, as well as pushing/forcing the HDMI cable into the socket as well to ensure there is a proper contact
I haven't done a full software reset as that would delete both the VNC software and the RDP hack that I've got installed on it at the moment, which would then render the device essentially useless.
Does the Windows 10 upgrade (I have mine reserved) leave all the pre-installed software running? I might risk doing that if I am still able to VNC into it after the upgrade.
Anything else I could try to make sure this is not a software issue? Is it possible that this is a hardware defect? A cold joint perhaps? How would I go about identifying it?
Any help is MUCH appreciated.
Thanks.
