Known issues
  • ALC256 shorted 3.3vdc or 5vdc rail. The audio circuit design is not done proper, the ALC will die after a while, the 8ohm speaker output is poor, even on a working tablet.
  • TPS51367 shorted killing the CPU or RAM (TPS51367 is a 3-V to 22-V, 12-A synchronous buck converter with ultra-low quiescent current).
Improvements in MK5

In de MK5 board revision noted as DHLB1277ZC/X1 in the silkscreen a few design changed were made.

  • CPU was changed from SR2F0 (Intel Core i5-6300U) to SR340 (Intel Core i5-7300U).
  • Onboard RAM was doubled from 4096mb to 8192mb.
  • The audio circuit and codec were changed from ALC256 to ALC295.
  • WWAN simcard slot changed from standard SIM 25x15mm size to 12.3x8.8mm nano SIM size.
  • TPM chip was changed, can't find anything about it. The IC is made by STMicroelectronics.
