Chuwi surbook mini: Buying Touch screen for replacement

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 01:18:13 -0700

I'm looking for a touch screen to replace my broken one. The IPS panel looks ok, did not find any blank pixel.

I've been looking on all webstores I know (AliExpress, Bangood, Amazon, Ebay, etc) with no luck for the moment.

Also disassembled the tablet and doesn't seem difficult to replace, could post a complete review. But the problem is to find the proper touch screen.

So, can someone help me? Where can I buy a touch screen for Chuwi Surbook Mini?

Chuwi surbook mini: Notebook is not powering on

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 07:29:32 -0700

Hi everyone,

Firstly, it is Chuwi Minibook 8 inch, I did not found it in the list.

I opened minibook up for charging repair and there was short on cap near usb c connector. While injecting voltage to shorted cap to see where its getting hot, I accidentaly injected 9v to DATA lines D+, D-, SBUS and CC (according to USB C connector pinout). From this point, minibook doesnt turn on (before it was turning on, only not charging. I charged battery with power supply). CPU gets little bit hot while holding power button, but screen keeps black. CPU getting hot (only little bit hot, its not boiling) only as long as I hold the power button. What is the first problems that comes to your mind? Can it be some blown resistor, diode, coil or some usb control IC that prevents it from turning on? There is no shorted cap anymore on the whole board (I literally measured every one). I basicaly want to ask if this type of issue (injecting 9v to data lines) can result into eMMC, CPU or RAM failure?

I'm repairing things for myself, it is not for customer. Im very amateur.

Thank you

Chuwi surbook mini: Tablet only turns on sometimes, can't get it consistent.

Hello!

I have a Chuwi Surbook Mini that won’t turn on all the time. I’ve tried power cycling, hard reset, and plugging/unplugging the battery to the motherboard but it will only turn on once in a while. Originally, the red LED indicator light on the front would flash indicating if it has been reset or not but as of now, I haven’t been able to get it on in a few weeks and the LED indicator light no longer turns flashes red.

Do I need to replace the battery? I’ve checked both sides of the motherboard and nothing looks like it could be blown or fried. Thank for the help!
