Please Help With Superpad III Problem

[leeb]

Unfortunately I am unsure what to suggest that doesnt require opening the beast and getting out the soldering iron...
which is what I MAY have to do with mine, as the display is not coming up and I cannot 'see' what is wrong.

If I end up doing that, I will make a thread for it...
In the meantime, search for threads about the use of the IUW program, a M-M USB cable, and .ius files... see if your machine is able to talk to the IUW program. If NOT, there may be little hope other than selling it for parts.

GOOD LUCK... to both of us!

EDIT: Just realized one of your posts says you have had it open already... what kind of cable is used on the display... a bunch of little wires or a ribbon-type cable? Give the info on the board... wwe101-? or something... might help!

Leeb, I did just last night left in one and charging all night and yes i have a green light as it is fully charged. I tried again and can't get it past just the vibration. No booting. Please keep coming back with more options if at all possible.
Thanks

Leeb, sorry i did not see your last post since my last one but now after viewing it i went into the back of this Flytouch and see like most of the ones i have been in has the very small brownish color ribbon cable. About a 1/4" wide..
as shown left side a few inches up... Don't have a mini usb port only TF USB HDMI SD..

[leeb]

Nah... thats for the touchscreen... I meant the other one that connects under the edge of the board... around the middle.

[daveloves]

Right, my mistake. It is a flat ribbon cable.

What is the ID info on the system board? I have one that takes a ribbon cable for the display
that shows DF-MID10-IX210-V1.1
up underneath the 'buttons'...

I got it off ebay before I realized that the display cable was different than the SP1 display cable I had available to put on it...
It has been sitting here since.
Every once in a while I let it start up (buzz for a couple of seconds) and then punch the reset button. I have no idea if it actually has
an unbroken copy of Android but each and every time I power it up it behaves the same way...

Hi everyone and anyone who may be able to help me I am new to android tablets but have worked on pc's as a hoby for some time
my problem is my tablet powers up and displays Android world logo then Linux Penguin then onto Android world animated screensaver no further.
I have opened the tablet removed the internal sd card and run it through a couple of dat recovery softwares and it looks like the android file sytem is present but I think it must be corrupt and cant load ?
have googled this symptom and a couple of results say it just needs flashed with the firmware.....have been all over trying to find out how to do this or more to the point which firmware and how to load it to this internal sd card..
I have an Infotmic 10" tablet androi2.2 as described by label on the back- back is black one micro sd slot two usb ports 1 hdmi.
internal memory is a 8gb micro sd card.
would be so thankful for any help

It sounds ALOT like mine did (before I had to rebuild it. If you still have it open, what designation is on the board?
If it is a Yonestoptech, take a look at the 'ITS ALLLLIIIIIVVEEE' thread I started.
If not, provide the details!!!

Have you tried the <HOME><BACK><PWR> for a 'factory reset' ? THAT is your best bet unless it is missing/corrupted... (which it might be if you did any writing to it out-of-box).

I All,

I think I have the same unit with the same/similar issues. I was given a tablet not knowing what brand etc it was or anything. Just that it was android LOL. Anyway it would power on with no display and the virbator would just stay on until the battery went flat. Eventually it actually started working. It would power on and boot to android [2.3 I think] then after a min or so it would crash with some error about a service crashing or similar. I pulled the thing apart a few times. I can't remember if it started working before or after I pulled it apart the first time. I think i just came good on it's own. But I have pulled it apart because it now has no display at all. what's written on the PCB is DF-MID10-IX210-V1.1.

It has power, ethernet, hdmi, usb, tf card, usb then headphones on one side. wifi on/off switch, home, menu, - , + , and power on another side. reset switch on the other side. single round button on the front with a square on it.

I assume it's an apad 10". Can anyone tell me how to flash it or reset it to get it working again?

I tried the home, - and power together, trid the -, front button and pwr together. No combination sems to work.... but I could be doing it wrong.

please help. I'm sick of my 7" Pendo android 2.1 tablet.

Cheers,

Joe

Edit: Also when I try to power it on by holding the power button down it virbates for a few seconds like it's powering on... but get no display. I have re-seated the LC harness ribbon cable already. Also tried it on my tv with the HDMI cable.

Dunno how much help I can be, since the one I have has crapped out. I cannot get it to talk to the IUW program, and unless it will do that, I consider it toast. (a brick has the rest of the parts on it...)
If you are at all familiar with the IUW program to update firmware on these things, attempt the <PWR><MENU> routine (can be found EVERYWHERE!!) to see if it will talk to the program (turn the square GREEN ). IF SO, you still have the ability to fix it.
If not?
Well, I hear they make good TV trays!
