I bought the first one (silver) a month ago and tested it with Windows 8.1. Because the temperatures where a bit high I decided to modify the cooling. Then I started Windows and tested the temperature of the system under heavy load. It was a big success. The next day the Pipo would boot anymore (look at the problem below).
After a few hours of trying I did something and I managed to get it working again. I installed the Windows 10 preview and the windows 8.1 drivers. Then the system crashed with a blue screen and the Pipo wouldn't boot anymore. I thought that I had broken something (during the modification of the cooling) and I ordered another one.
That one (black) arrived today. The first boot went well. Windows 8.1 started and after half an hour I did a shutdown. Then I started the Pipo X7S again and I think I saw the windows 8.1 boot animation and then nothing. Just a blank screen. I removed the power cord and started the Pipo again. And this time it wouldn't boot again. It was having the same problem as the first Pipo that I bought. This one is totally unmodified.
The problem:
- Insert power connector.
- The led flashes shortly -> Then five seconds no light -> Then five second light -> and it repeats again
- There is no video output
- The led's on the keyboard don't light up.
- A very long press on the power button stops the led sequence. A short press starts it again.
I already tried:
- Booting without the USB devices, or LAN or HDMI
- Pressing the reset button on the back.
- I tested it with a better quality power supply (http://www.fspgroupusa.com/ecommerce/fsp060-dbae1.html)
Does anybody know what is happening and how I can solve this? Is there a special "magic" combination of key's or buttons?
