Probably not. Why would you want to?

Wow that was quick, my free delivery from Flubit G1 has arrived already,
unfortunately I can't test it because Amazon are incapable of delivering my paid for next day delivery parcel that contains the display port adapter I need.
Its impressively small (although not as small as the Pipo X7 its replacing).
Hopefully the adapter I ordered from ebay will arrive tomorrow so I can have a play around with my new toy whilst Amazon come up with another creative excuse (lie) for why they can't deliver to me

I got mine yesterday along with the adaptor I ordered on eBay with free delivery. I too have only taken it out of the box but work commitments will mean I can only test the weekend.

One thing to note is the bios is a bit strange and pressing escape to go back after setting the keyboard wake on lan to enabled actually doesn't save the change, it was some other button (can't remember which but it tells you on the screen). I hadn't noticed this at first and couldn't work out why it wasn't working until I went back in to the bios.

I think I'll have to check my settings again. I think it's F5 or F10 to save/confirm the changes in the bios. I had the same issue initially like you - unless you do the confirm/save step all the settings are not updated.

My IR receiver is plugged into the USB2 port next to the headphone socket, which has the keyboard logo next to it. I'm fairly sure that's right?

Are you able to confirm all the relevant settings you have changed in the bios, just incase I missed anything?

Thanks.

My receiver is plugged in to the top USB 2.0 port, so the one above where you have it. I did find the manual online and it stated both USB 2.0 ports allowed the keyboard power on, so it shouldn't matter which one you use.

The only setting I changed was "Power -> Hardware Power Management -> Power on from USB Kbd Port". And yeah it is F10 to save that change, bit strange never seen any other BIOS make you confirm like that before. Usually you just confirm all changes together on exit.

Ok, so mine is plugged into the lower port, when looking at the manual.

I'll check my bios settings later and report back.

Okay people. I've switched mine on and no picture. Could it be the dp to hdmi adaptor I bought? Or could it be my TV? I have a Sony tv and the adaptor I bought was this one http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/371325804009

Are you able to check the VGA port? I know this doesn't really help the main issue but at least it means you don't have a dead box!

I'd be surprised if the problem was down to your TV. Mine is hooked up to a Toshiba that is about 9yrs old.

This was the displayport adapter I purchased:

Maybe take a punt on this and see about returning your original?

Or I think there's some similar ones on Amazon if you want an alternative supplier.

MediaPi · 2015-06-30, 23:20

strange how yours (Mark142) has a slimer design

decpvr had a good suggestion try that and I think it'll be more related to the cable
I seen this one for £1.47 looks similar to decpvr's (but not exact I think)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Display-Female-V...rt+to+hdmi

the shopfront is well established I believe that sells lots of things
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Display-Female-V...rt+to+hdmi

buy that or what decpvr went for, and see if you can return the other one

Mark142 · 2015-06-30, 23:35

I've taken a punt on the alternative adaptor and see how I get on. I will also try the vga port also.

Looks like it's definitely my remote/IR receiver.

I checked my bios settings and the wake from keyboard option was enabled.

I was able to wake up the HP unit using my Logitech K200 wireless keyboard by pressing the power button.

I tried swapping the receiver into different USB ports and was able to get the internal red LED to flash on the IR receiver whilst pressing buttons but it still would not wake the HP.

I even dug out another rc6 IR receiver out, which looks the same, but is HP branded (the one I'm currently using is plain and unbranded). That one didn't even acknowledge any button presses from my remote even when openelec was running.

I'm guessing the HP branded rc6 receiver is more likely a genuine device, which is why it doesn't work with the other remote. I can't seem to find a matching remote for it though! I have a feeling I bought it separately and don't have a matching controller which will work with it.

Even my Logitech harmony remote didn't work with either receiver to power up. It does work correctly within openelec as expected though.

I'll draw a line under this part of the topic now, at least from my end, as I would need to purchase extra hardware and I'm really not bothered enough to do that.

My order for the SATA cable has been cancelled and my payment refunded because they were unable to deliver in time. I'm going to re-order and see what happens.

Even though my order was for only one item I was advised to re-order just that item... (Think a pro forma response was emailed for when orders contain some items which cannot be fulfilled in time...)

Live chat initially said 3-4 weeks lead time, then updated that to January 2016 and suggested I contact UK parts re-sellers... Not the most helpful experience I've had...

HP's approved UK re-sellers don't have stock. Am attempting another live chat. Wish me luck...

MediaPi · 2015-07-01, 11:38

maybe enquire @ Lambda tech, they might not have a lead time and the p / n is the exact same as HP's

I guess you'll have to pay a premium

also a member at hotukdeals had his shipping confirmation (6 days ago)

so surprised they saying 6 months for you!

Thinking to use this as an Android box for the kids to play games and watch YouTube on the TV instead of hunching on the sofa with a tablet.

Mark142 · 2015-07-01, 12:17

There are dedicated android boxes you can get for that. Amazon fire TV is the one I would recommend.

Or you could install Bluestacks, which lets you run Android apps within Windows:

Still probably best to get a dedicated android box/stick and cheaper!
