[GUIDE] Enable MeeGoPad Auto Power On
Hi guys, I have exciting news to share today!
We all know the design flaw that requires the power button to be pressed. This is by design as meegopad only gives sticks out with auto power on to embedded vendors who order in bulk.
There are options in the BIOS but these will brick your stick.
Having an auto power on stick would be much more useful for TV and embedded applications.
***Fortunately*** a seller accidentally sent me an "bulk order" stick that DOES power on automatically without the need to press the power button. The only difference between the sticks is the BIOS version.
I am pleased to report that I have successfully transferred the BIOS from my 'auto-on' meegopad to my 2 other normal sticks (white and black models) via a simple BIOS flash. The zip contains all you will need and requires nothing more than running a file as an administrator.
Steps:
1. Make sure your meegopad is connected to a reliable power source and does not suffer from any random crashes or reboots.
2. Extract the zip file.
3. Right click and run update.bat as an administrator. If there is no output you can run 'fptw -f EMBEDDED_OEM_BIOS_DUMP.bin' from an administrator command prompt pointing to the extracted files directory.
You should see a command window with progress updates, the entire flash only takes 90 seconds or so.
4. Shutdown your meegopad T01 and unplug the power. When you plug it back in you will notice that the blue LED stays lit and windows will begin to boot without the power button being pressed.
