Fixing GRUB 2.12-rc1 booting issues on the HP Stream 7 and 8 tables by downgrading

Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, In this post, we will see how to downgrade GRUB on the HP Stream 7 and 8 tablets. These tablets use the Intel Bay Trail platform and only have a 32-bit bootloader. The CPU in these tablets are 64-bit, so it’s weird that the bootloader only works with 32-bit EFI loaders. The good thing is that we can use a 64-bit version of Linux paired with the 32-bit GRUB EFI loader. In Ubuntu 23.10 and the upcoming Ubuntu…

Hi everyone, Some months ago, I wrote about my CHUWI UBook having a swollen battery. Today, I’m sharing the pics of it using a replacement battery I got on AliExpress: This battery seems to no longer be on sale but searching for CHUWI Ubook battery will show some results. You may get more refined results by either searching for CWI509 or by HW-31130148. As long as the description says it fits the CHUWI Ubook and the connector matches and is…

CHUWI UBook Fire Hazard. Battery Swollen

Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, I’m probably one of the few who have had swollen battery issues. This time, the most recent battery issue came with the CHUWI UBook tablet that I’ve had for a few years now. Somehow, even with the device powered off, the battery decided to swell really bad that it bent the tablet itself. Fortunately, even with the tablet bended, the screen itself seems to not have been cracked. However, the battery is severely swollen. I was able to…

Hi everyone, It comes a time when I have to update my Windows devices manually because sometimes, on my Intel Atom machines, Windows Update fails to install a Windows Insider build. I know I’m not the only one who have had this happened. One thing one can do to solve this is to go ahead and download a Windows Insider ISO and then create a bootable micro SD card, with tools like Rufus. Now, the bootable part is not important,…

Hi everyone, Today, I spent some time in the morning doing some cable management to the area where I have my mining tablets: Those tablets are contributing to distributed computing projects that runs using the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing software, which is also available for Android devices, so my Android tablets are currently contributing to the yoyo@home project and to World Community Grid if there’s no yoyo tasks available for them. You can see I made use of…

Hi everyone, In this post, I’m gonna talk about the HP Stream tablets and how to work around the overheating issues you may have with them. These tablets works really good most of the time, that is, as long as you are in a well ventilated room, or a room with Air Conditioner. However, on tropical weather, it does not performs good sometimes. This is because the temperature is mostly in the mid 70s to 90s F, and in the…

Hi everyone, In this video, I will be unboxing the HP Stream 7 tablet. This tablet comes with an Intel Atom Z3735G @ 1.33Ghz, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of eMMC storage, Wifi/Bluetooth connectivity, and initially comes with Windows 8.1. The tablet itself is actually good for lightweight tasks, however, the 1GB of RAM is pretty much the limiting factor. Do you have this tablet? How does it work for you? Let me know in the comments.
