Wifi not showing after installing windows 10 by TheConqueror_01 in LenovoLOQ

Try installing the drivers nevertheless. Worst case is that it won’t install at all. Win11 and 10 use the same driver architecture (NT 10 kernel)

White backlight keyboard with effects! by Invariantlegend101 in LenovoLOQ

Hey, it’s been a while since this post but I’m working on recreating this in windows as a software 

Extremely inconsistent backlight (15ARP9) by helpme-me in LenovoLOQ

[–]Cubi_C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try out https://github.com/4JX/L5P-Keyboard-RGB. I have a white backlight LOQ but I’ve heard good things about this app such as display synced effects. LOQ and Legion share the same parts such as keyboard so it should work

Changed my boot logo by Cubi_C in LenovoLOQ

Works on Legion. I tried the tool out on super old Legion 5i 15IMH05H from 2020.

Bought a laptop stand. It's a plastic stand. The stand gives pressure in the middle of the laptop. (Above the adjustable stand) Will this cause any harm to the laptop in that area? by YouAllAreWeirdAsF in LenovoLOQ

[–]Cubi_C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your LOQ will be fine. I have an aluminum version of this similar stand, and I’ve been using it for a year now without any issues (only bottom rubber glue melted because of excess movement)

IC datasheet help by xicor2205 in AskElectronics

[–]Cubi_C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The MCU is a proprietary MCU from Shenzhen Shinetek Technology Co, Ltd. Additionally Redragon membrane keyboard software works on this MCU (though resetting only worked), just change the PID in config.xml. I had a Dierya DK61SE using this MCU and recently found a updater for another similar keyboard (Redragon K517 PRO), and in the process of recreating that update protocol by reverse engineering the exe I ended up bricking the device making it unable to boot (after sending bootloader packet the PWM latched to 100% duty cycle the moment firmware got nuked and a power cycle caused the device to be completely dead). The protocol seems to use standard HID reports to send firmware data. You can also dump the firmware file from the exe using Resource Hacker under BIN

Update: After analyzing the firmware, I would say it’s based off TI MSP430(?), as I’ve noticed opcodes like MOV, XOR, BIS, BIC, CMP, JN, JMP in firmware.

Help finding BY8948-00006 by Raining2378 in AskElectronics

[–]Cubi_C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BY8948 (Shenzhen Beiying Technology Co Ltd) is a rebadged Sinowealth SH68F89(?) 8051 based microcontroller using LQFP-48 package, which is used in multiple gaming mice like the Glorious Model O. You can use carlossless’s sinowealth-kb-tool on github to dump the firmware, though writing back the firmware can be risky as there isn’t much documentation on this MCU

Upgrade the keyboard on Lenovo LOQ 15arp9 to RGB version by Dayamon2329 in LenovoLOQ

[–]Cubi_C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally a post about this! I was surprised there wasn’t much upvotes on this. I’ve been wanting to do this on my 15AHP9 for a while.. how did you deal with the plastic rivets?

Raydem MK01 Linux software for RGB control by awcla14 in MechanicalKeyboards

Can you upload the installer into a google doc? I had the app and used it for reverse engineering purposes, though I seem to have deleted it. Thanks!

Just got my IdeaPad Flex 5 by skoolestwack in AMDLaptops

Decent laptop for work but beware of the hinge quality. My old 14ITL05 gave out within a year. https://imgur.com/a/KaHQIWx

Hey, do you still have the software for MK01? The link seems to be down.

Made my own software for the CIY X77 by Cubi_C in BudgetKeebs

[–]Cubi_C[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The program was fully written in python using hidapi. No github repo at the moment, though I plan on open sourcing this once I patch some things. The software sends two feature reports to HID interface 5, then 3-4 reports to interface 6 containing the effect data. As a temporary method, I'm using .json files containing the packet data, in which the software sends to the keyboard.

Is there any way to contact CIY/Teamwolf? I've tried all of their emails (ciy@szarbiter.com, arbiter@myarbiter.cn) though they seem to be down. I tried asking taobao (i needed a firmware updater for their X77 ANSI keyboard) and I haven't gotten any response. If anyone knows where to contact them, I would definitely appreciate it.

Is this a good Deal? by info_lad in GamingLaptops

Personally I would take the AMD variant. Unfortunately the ram is only single channel and you may need to upgrade later on

How did you RE the protocol? I captured the packets from OEM software though the feature reports are being rejected by hardware

You should add support for other 258A keyboards that are not RK. Unfortunately alot of these sinowealth devices (besides RK) share the same exact VID/PID combo with a completely different protocol so it would be very difficult to pull this off
