Hi everyone! First post here.
Some of you may know me (from EEEUser). I made the switch from my 701 to a AA1.
Generally satisfied with it. I had to return the first unit since the battery led (charging, charged) was not working.
And then... I got problems with my second one.
I made it fall from the table. It was in a CaseLogic case and I hung (? sorry, bad english) the strap with my watch, makig everything fall on the ground.
After that, I turned the AA1 on and everything seems right for...15 seconds. The AA1 automaticcaly turn-off after that. Same thing in Dos/Bios/Bootloader, etc.
From the noise, I heard that the Cpu fan was not working anymore. so I dismantled the unit and, like i thought, the cpu fan was disconnected from the motherboard. i put it back in place and everything was fine... except that I put a screw through the wire for the right speaker. By chance, I just cut a part of the ground signal and by removing the screw and moving the cable, everything was fine.
So,
Lesson 1 : the AA1 does not like to fall on the ground. Even is in a case.
Lesson 2 : always, always recheck wire to be sure to not screw through them.
By chance, anyone with a set of speaker+wire for sale to replace mine? If I have to send the AA1 to repair, there is chance that they will see the cut in the wire and byebye warranty....
Thanks!
