Here's an update. The l0ckdown in Singapore has been extended to 1 June, but just this week, the repair has been completed, and they have just mailed it out. As discussed (with them), they ran out of case parts, and had to order them from their OEM, which means that my white Mimas will become a black Mimas, but I'm fine with that.
However, as part of their diagnosis process, they had to do a factory reset in order to confirm that it wasn't a software issue, and in the process, in order to confirm that, they upgraded mine to the latest firmware, 2.3.x, so I'll have to spend time manually migrating my data back. Still, I'd like to see what new features (and bugs?) Boyue has brought to the table in their quest to try and copy some Onyx Boox features, albeit with more hardware features. Still, even though the warranty on mine has lapsed, I'll just use mine until it starts having issues and I can't fix it, and upgrade to a Boox Note series, and hopefully by then, Onyx would start offering hardware features I like.
