Whom to contact at Onyx International for M90 mainboard replacement?

davidjoseph1 · 05-31-2013, 01:31 PM

I need a new mainboard for my M90. I'd like it to work, honestly - while the M92 is faster, has better firmware, better battery life, and is easier to use in direct sunlight, I did spend $400 on the damn M90 and would like it to work because the capacitative keys are silent.

How ought I to get such a mainboard? The American Onyx Boox reseller is less than useless, and I don't want to send it overseas to be repaired in Europe or Asia because that expense becomes too ridiculous. Can I replace it myself? Are there firmware loading and screen calibration tasks too complicated for me? I am looking for contact information for Onyx International and a survey of what knowledgeable folks think might be a likely response to an inquiry.

Any comments?

I halted when replacing motherboard on the M90 that is necessary to solder the 3 pins for touch layer. I gave to the Service Centre. Asked the to replace from M92 - was denied ... reason not mentioned. :-(

Меня остановило при замене материнской платы на М90 то что надо припаять 3 контакта для сенсорного слоя. Отдал в Сервисный Центр. Просил поставить от М92 - отказали... причину не назвали.

My M90 broke last year in May (10 days before warranty was gone).
The store I bought it from closed in the meantime. It took me a long time to get the right contact. As I'm from europe I can't help find your right contact.

But - last year - they had no parts to repair my M90! (at least they told me)
The problem started with no sd card being recognized - therefore no updates. In the end the wifi didn't work.

I think it will be very, very, very difficult to get a new mobo for that device.
After 3 months of mailing I got an upgrade to M92

Good Luck davidjoseph1
