Lenovo Miix 2 – 8 disassembly

today i did a little reverse engineering for the guys out there. so i disassembled my lenovo miix 2 8 because i want to know what ssd or in this case emmc is integrated in this device. i disassembled the motherboard because at the first view i was not able to localize where the emmc is located. after taking apart the mainboard cover i realized that it is soldered on the mainboard. so there is only a hard way to upgrade this to a bigger one. my miix was sold as 64gb version. while i checked all the parts i saw next to the micro sd slot the empty space for the lte or umts slot. check out the pics. i am sorry they are not i the correct order here but if anyone out there is interested in details please contact me.

Lenovo Miix 2 8 charging with OTG connected

This morning i started to figure out why the lenovo miix is not charging while the OTG adapter is connected. So i ordered at begin of this week a micro usb male connector because i found out that the other stock otg cable has only one with 4pins. So Pin 4 and 5 will be shortened internally.

The new connector arrived yesterday but i was not in mood to start the tests. So after the breakfast the research began.
