Hi! I thought I'd see if there were any...

Hiya folks,

I've had my AcePC T11 for a few years now and have helped a good few folks out with problems with it in my Amazon review. I've had an issue since I got it, it'd get stuck at 33% CPU (and throttle down to 0.47GHz) and I've tried a few things to mitigate the issue.

I thought I'd check out your website and noticed you had a new and decent forum. Last time I came to the website a year or so ago, I couldn't find any downloads for my machine

I will probably either reinstall a clean build of Windows 10 1903 with the driver package, or maybe try the image option that you've got in the Downloads forum.

I also had a look on the main website for a new BIOS update, but the link seems to be broken for the T11 BIOS, but it seems like you are working on it after it was posted in the troubleshooting forums.

Anyways, nice to meet you.

Kind regards,
jcx

Thank you for your reply.

I have tried flashing BIOS image that you have provided, but it gives the error:

Code: Select all

1e - Error: Secure Flash function is not supported on this file.

when I run the batch script.

Any ideas?

Thanks

What is the BIOS version of minipc itself? Can you enter the BIOS and take a screenshot under the main interface?

[jcx]

Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you.

I can't take a screenshot, but in the "Main" BIOS page this is the information listed:

Also, is there any way to set it to come back on automatically when the power comes back on?

(AC Power Restore state settings are usually in the BIOS but I don't see it in mine right now...)

Hello @jcx,

From my knowledge of BIOS, it should be present under Advance > Power Management setting.

If it is not present there then I think there is no option to power on the device automatically.

Not all devices support auto power on, I think the technical support team can advice something on this.

Good Luck.

@spikerguy
Yes, they've sent me a copy of the BIOS that will do this feature, however I'm still having the same issue as I was having trying to flash the other BIOS they provided.

@admin

When running 01_Plus10_afuFlashx64.bat from the download you provided:

Code: Select all

cd /d %~dp0
@echo off
AFUWINx64.exe T8U007_no_log_autopower_wifi_6255_20190920.bin /p /b /n /x
rem pause
c:\windows\system\shutdown.exe -r -t 0

It reads the flash file okay, and attempts to flash the BIOS, but gives this error:

Code: Select all

1e - Error: Secure Flash function is not supported on this file.

And then it reboots because of the shutdown.exe command.

Any ideas on getting it to flash?

[spikerguy]

It means that the bin file is not secured with the signature needed for the BIOS.

Maybe they can provide you with another file for your device model number.

I think @admin can help you with a working file. Also please check if the file is downloaded correctly.
