Just KNEW I'd Do It Eventually!

[leeb]

Tonite when I got home I found that Tiny's power supply wouldnt charge anymore...


So whaddid I do? OPENED HIM UP, of course!

... and here's what I found out.

CPU - ZeniTHINK Zt180a - p2v654.0
Hynix H27ubg8t2ATR (4Gb NAND 'HD')
KH KH29sv400CBTC-70Q (512Mb NOR Flash) ** common in MANY devices **

system board (and a SMALL SUCKA it is too!)
SHOUYING m799rb-128x8-MAINB=V2.0 (2011.12.01)

Stickered P799RGM v2.0 sn 12020193alxxxxxxx

So... Tiny is basicaly a zenithink m799 with a software upgrade... plus some, I suspect.

He was alot easier to put back together than to take apart... IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN...

The two halves of the shell SLIDE APART (Front to RIGHT, back to LEFT) once the screw is removed from the right (connector) side...
Damaged a couple of the retaining points, but luckily not too many. Still looks/feels good when reassembled!

NOW... to wait & see about a replacement power supply!

Oh... found the pad(s) for the JTAG connector too...

Have heard from eMatic already today... and have begun the RMA procedure.

They want me to send them the old p/s, of all things... but that's okay.
As long as they send me a replacement as 'promised' I will be happy.
PLUS,
The BRAND-NEW xl pro 2 I just got ALSO has a 5v power supply, and WILL CHARGE from USB...
so,
I can charge it from USB and allow Tiny to use its p/s until the new one arrives! All is hunkie-dorie at this point!

That is the only way I charge my tablet. I hate that puny little charger...

Well, should it happen again, Im gonna cut the wire off and attach the cord to a more reliable/capable charger...
Unless, of course, I snap it off.

Good thing the XP pro 2 also uses the same charger!
