Cenovo mini pc 2 bios reset - General Questions and Answers

Hello people
I made some settings on cenovo mini pc 2 bios and now i have no video exit on hdmi.
When i turn on, looks like working but nothing on tv
The cenovo support don't answer my email
I need to reset bios to defaults
I disconnect the battery for days but nothing...
any help on this?
thanks

Same thing happened to me. What I did was disconnect the battery. Plug in the power while holding the power button for around 10 seconds (maybe more) until the blue light went off. After taking my finger off the power button, I pressed and held the button until the blue light came on and the sucker booted up. Hope that helps.
MWA.

Anybody know how to set the bios to auto start when I plug in? Without physically pressing the power on button? No normal bios configuration that I can see? Any help greatly appreciated

I also change som video setting in BIOS and had no video on HDMI output.
It is possible to reset it, but I can not tell yuo how. I already did it two times, but each time after two hours of experimentation. You have to play with power button (long holding and clicking) after unplug and plug again power cable. Getting red light is definitely step towards success. I hold your thumbs.

Also need to reset my bios, since my unit is not booting properly, blue led keeps blinking.
Any suggestion?

Hello. The pc has restarted. I left it unplugged at night, and in the morning I turned it on and it worked.

Hi guys, made a similar mistake apparently.
Story:
Tried to reuse that Cenovo Mini PC II as ioBroker server for smart home.
Installed CentOS 7 onto it, install went fine, first boot = Kernel issue.
Installed Ubuntu 18.04 live server, all went through, first boot = Errors a la "Cannot enable port 1. Maybe the USB cable is bad".
Now i have no USB enabed and therefor i cant use a keyboard and do nothing.
Tried a BIOS setting found in a launchpad, now apparently the system boots very well in Ubuntu till Login screen = but no USB keyboard. Cannot do anything, as SSHD isnt running yet.
xHCI handoff - Disabled
EHCI handoff - Disabled

Click to collapse
Apparently i disabled something i shouldnt have done.
The tips on resetting the BIOS in this thread here didnt helped yet.
Did anyone come across the actual repeatable way of resetting the BIOS on that Cenovo?

Unfortunately, I’m in the same situation. Does some of you maybe have some tips how to reset the cmos? Already tried by holding the powerbutton & pressing some times, but without success. Hope somebody had a magic tip for me.
Thank your very much!
Regards, Tom

HELP!! My One X won´t turn on =(

someone out there, please help me. Today when I went out to work I was playing with my phone and then put it away while I was driving. When I got back to it I tried to turn it on but it would not turn on, so I keep the On key pressed for a few seconds and then it turns on.
So I thought maybe the phone needed a restart, so I did. I pressed the On key for a second and then selected "Restart". and it never started back again. I´ve been trying to press the on key for like 1 minute a nothing shows up, I connect it to the charger and the charging led doesn´t light up.
When I connect it to my computer, it seems to recognize something in the task manager as it says "Unknown Device"
Anybody knows a method to make it boot? like a typical "battery Pull"?
Try holding Power key for 10 seconds?

This ^^. or try to boot into recovery (hold volume down, then press and hold power, hold both until the three androids appear. then use volume down to select "reboot"
thanks for the reply, I just tried that and nothing, no light, no led. The capacitive buttons don´t light up either. =(
Try leaving it plugged in for awhile to make sure it's charged before you try to reboot into recovery?

I was thinking an thought. With android, sometimes the phones just get messed around too much. When I had my galaxy nexus, everytime i meet a freeze or something, I just pull the battery and reboot the phone. If the phone is messed up and wont boot. I can still just pull the battery, put it in, and boot into recovery. Now, is there any safe way to do all of this? I am worried about the One X, and still am debating between this and the note, reason being I flash a lot and dunno wat i can do if i really just mess up my phone. Anyone have any ideas?

If you hold down the power button for 10 seconds it will hard reset the phone. This is exactly the same behavior as the iPhone and other phones with a non-removable battery.

I have the same problem, when I charge it the charging indicator doesn't even turn red or green. I tried a wall charger as well as connecting it to my computer. I tried holding the power button for 10 secs, also while holding down the volume down button. Nothing works. I'm going to call HTC tomorrow, and might need to bring it back to the shop.
It always seems a bit finicky to turn on for me. I still have no idea how exactly to turn it on, I jus randomly press the button until it turns on.
Try holding down the power + volume down button.

Can't power on my Tf700 - power button not working

Hi everyone,
Today i faced a problem with my tf700T, i tried to power it on but i couldn't.
I tried all the following steps but with no luck at all:
1. Normal press on power button, nothing happens.
2. Cold reset (pressing power & volume down buttons for very long time), nothing at all (no vibrations, not a single sign of life).
3. pressing reset button. nothing
4. suspecting that it's a screen problem. i pressed volume down/up , but no vibration occurs (i.e. the tablet is not turned on)
The tablet is fully charged, when i connect it to the charger the led shows green light.
I tried to connect it also using usb cable to a pc (led doesn't show any light) and left it for hours. tried to power on again, but no luck. Needless to mention that it's not detected by pc also, since it's turned off.
Now i am out of ideas, i can't think of anything else to do.
If anyone can help me with anything to try, i will be very thankful.
Thanks
PS: i searched before posting this thread but i didn't find a relevant post. If there's a similar post, please guide me to it and i apologize for duplicating it.

I think you alredy tried everything in the book. It's time to send it out for repair. Note: Even some how it turn itself back on later, I still recommend to send it out, because it's not NORMAL at all, possible defective Power button, main board etc...

OnePlus One dead!!!

Hey guys,
i have a really big problem with my lovely one.
Before three hours i checked my screen the last time, everything cool,
70 percent battery, no problem everything working like its usual.
But ut now i tried to get it out off stand by but it isnt showing any reaction.
I tried to double tap wake up, normal stand by button wake up, wake up through
connecting to my original oneplus charger/cable nothing happened and at least
connecting it to my mac. And off course i tried to do volume down stand by button and so on.
It won´t even show the notification led when i am pluging it in, please help me guys,
what happened to my phone? Can i rescue it?
Try holding the power button until it reboots (max. 60sec). If that does not work, connect it to a charger and just let it charge for up to 24h (until it show something).
Tried it, didn´t worked.
Now i am trying to charge it for a day.
:/
First try to connect to a win PC and if nothing happens press POWER+VolUp for 30 secs (until vibrate), maybe it somehow bricked itself. If it connects as QHSUSB_BULK it bricked itself (can be fixed)
Okay tried to connect it on my other computer. It didn´t showed any led light on my device but the pc tried to search a driver software but no luck. Paralel i tried to connect the opo from my brother, no problem everything cool. But mine is somehow, dead.
And the volume up and stand by didnt helped :/
Leave the phone connected to an AC charger for 24 hours, do not touch it at all during this time, after 24 hours try to turn it on again.

See a lot of these
What causes this problem with the OPO?
Its comforting to know that it can be recovered from most everything thrown at it though.

Flash mode, not working

Hello everyone.
A few days ago my MK808b stopped working.
At one point I was on the screen and an ad appeared saying "updating the android system", or something similar. After a while, the system was restarted. But it never starts again. It got struck at the beginning and after 15 minutes of waiting, I decided to disconnect it and reconnect it again. The problem was that it never started again.
Nowadays when you start it, the Linux penguin's are shown for a few seconds and then the screen gets black.
I tried to enter the hard reset mode by I couldn't.
I press the button as it is shown in the tutorial, then I plug the stick to the pc/tv but it didn't enter in flash mode.
I have seen on youtube a video about how to get into flash mode, you press the button and then connect the stick and that's how I do it. I notice a difference between the youtube video and what i do, and it is that even having pressed the button, as soon as I plug the otg cable on the pc, the blue light turns on. But on the youtube video while the person is pressing the button, the blue light is not on. It turns on when the guy stop pressing the button. I guess there's the problem.
I've tried two different USB cable and have had the same result. I also tested on the PC and the TV. I do not know what else to do.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much!!!!

HTC One S stuck on HTC One Beats Studio Screen

Mods please remove as the phone has been lost
Dragos Criste said:
Hello Everyone. I recently got this HTC One S from a friend but it won't boot. If I want to boot it , I have to plug it in and press the power button even tho the battery is working. Sometimes before the phone even shows the HTC screen, the touch buttons blink then it boots into this screen. It's stuck like this forever. I tried accessing recovery/hboot through the power+volume buttons but it did not work. Any help to make it boot into android?

Hi, i hope i can help you.
Hold the Power and the Volume down button. When the Phone is starting and the touch buttons are blinking DO NOT let go the buttons until the screen turns black. Now let go the buttons and press them again immedeatly (up to 15 seconds) until the screen turns on again. Now you should be in fastboot/hboot.
If you need further help, I'm around.
Good luck

It doesn't work since the phone auto startsup for some reason even if I unplug the battery, and replug it.

So you tried the procedure with plugged and unplugged battery and non of the hardware buttons is responding?
If so, and the computer doesn't recognize the device in any way, you need someone smarter than me. I'm sorry.
My next tip would be to disassemble the device and check for hardware problems.
I hope you find a solution
