[Q] MTCD coreboard crapped out, replacements?

So my head unit ( Joying JY-UL135 ) stopped turning on. I went through various troubleshooting steps and the conclusion I and Joying support came to was that the coreboard has failed. They will send me a replacement one for a reasonable cost but I have to send the old one back direct to China which would bring the cost up to "ehhh" territory. And that assumes the package will get there and the deposit will be returned.
I have the original RK1388 1GB setup which was incredibly slow and disappointing. I asked Joying if it was possible to get a PX5 replacement because of how dissatisfied I've been with the unit. Joying told me that my unit was not compatible with the PX5 boards. I guess I was confused about the coreboard stuff, because I thought that RK1388 1GB board was the "PX3" that gets referred to here on the forums.
My questions are as follows:
* Is that correct that I cannot install an upgraded (more RAM specifically) board in the JY-UL135 unit? The PX5 boards are not compatible?
* Is there a place I can order coreboards domestically (US) to compare the price?
* Is there anything I can check/do with the coreboard to try and get it working again? I am very comfortable soldering, using a multimeter, etc. I've thought about using a heatgun to try and get the solder to reseat.
edit:
Update:
I had it confirmed on another forum that the PX5 RK1388 replacement boards are compatible with this specific head unit. It is the Joying-specific PX5 boards that are not compatible since they do not sell the appropriate type, and that is what Joying support meant by it wouldn't work.

Will coreboard from new unit work in older style unit please?

Good afternoon,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me please if the core board from this unit:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000132959961.html
would work and boot inside one of these:

i have the 1gb version of the one listed on ebay and am possibly able to buy the aliexpress one secondhand cheaper than buying a standalone coreboard.
Kind Regards
Les Mack
Yes, the PX3 board can be exchanged for a PX5 or even PX6 board

MTK8259 VS UIS7862

Hi, i was looking for Head Units for my Toyota Yaris 2007, and i find two units that looks very good.
Both of them have 4G/64GB but one with an 7862, and the other one with a MTK8259.
Do you know how they perform ? Is the MTK8259 like the 7862 ?
Thanks in advance
(PS: Junson MTK8259 link and Navifly 7862 link)

Question Need help in buy process of a unit.

So I've been on here reading and getting to know what the ins and outs are of these units. But I'm still having a hard time finding what I need, like others the Teyes CC3 drew my attention as it come with the bezel I need for my kia forte 2019. But I'm having some thoughts on the price. If these units are the same just different resellers can i find a cheaper one with the same specs and find where they get the bezel from. As of now I have not had any luck in finding anything. Any help would be appreciated!
Assuming you want an FYT UIS7862 device.
Avoid teyes, my suggestion. They are a reseller of FYT units but with software lockins/subscription.
I brought two FYT UIS7862 type 53 and type 116 from a reseller called "mekede".
There are newer variants but largely the same FYT UIS7862, e.g. made up brand and model Name Mekede M6.
Whatever you do, make sure you get seller to provide screenshots of Android System information, so you can know what is being offered and dispute if not received = not scammed.
You'll note the many posts of odd ball head units in the Android head units forum where people come for "free support" for their flawed from new odd ball chinese origin head unit because they didn't know what they were buying.
Take your time or hurry to disappointment.

That is correct, I already pulled the trigger on one I was more interested in the oem bezel and wiring that came fit for my car other then the limitations the specs checked out 4/64g but I just couldn’t find other with the oem fit I was looking for.

Replacing the coreboard when unit is bricked

I bricked my MTCE radio while mcu updating and now it doesn't work, buttons don't light up. Also i can't repair it by installing new MCU by st-link v2.
If It helps when i buy a new px5 or px6 coreboard? MCU is on this coreboard?
Cut losses and buy a superior FYT UIS7862 unit. See FYT forums.
Alternatively, you could send the unit to me and I can try recovery - no charge, only return freight.
Where to buy it? I search Google and nothing. It fits in citroen DS3?
Where are you from? Maybe it is a good option to send it to you.

Cheaper than buying a SOM and mainboard, but understand if you don't.
