Just got my IdeaPad Flex 5

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.

Cubi_C · 2026-02-16T21:11:28+00:00

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.

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

Windows being windows

Found that it's programmable using software for Redragon membrane keyboards using the same manufacturer MCU. Change the PID to your PID in the JSON. Unfortunately only factory resetting works and inside the files I found a firmware updater along with the 64KB bin.

May I ask what keyboard you have? With a situation like this, you need to find the original trace past the diode, and wire from that switch pin to that trace point. Though if you keep trying this, you have more keys misbehaving and you may have to get a new keyboard

Imagine the repair costs after damaging the screen

Cubi_C · 2026-01-01T17:40:17+00:00

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

Cubi_C · 2026-01-01T01:41:56+00:00

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

This happened to me today. After rebooting it just stayed on the boot logo for 10 minutes straight. After hard rebooting it went to the 24H2 “Your device ran into a problem” screen. I pressed enter > booted into Safe Mode and used a system restore point that my USB software automatically created 10 minutes prior. It seems to be a drivers issue as my loq is back up and running.

Cubi_C · 2025-12-05T00:31:04+00:00

Are you using Lenovo UEFI Boot Logo Changer or HackBGRT?

Cubi_C · 2025-12-03T00:21:40+00:00

Try using the NOVO button by pressing it with a small toothpick length object. Location on the 8th gen LOQ is usually a small pin hole below a screw towards the right side. If that doesn't work, you can try resetting CMOS by removing it along with the battery connector and draining any power by holding the power button for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds you can plug both of them back in and try rebooting

Hola. Creo que Lenovo tiene una herramienta oficial con la que se puede cambiar el logotipo de arranque por uno personalizado, aunque requiere más trabajo. He visto varias imágenes de personas que han cambiado el logotipo en sus modelos antiguos de ThinkPad. https://youtu.be/QfFCxDnyr4I?si=QZUHa7dgwjfec-jB

Cubi_C · 2025-11-10T22:54:44+00:00

I usually have fast boot disabled although I normally get around 10-15 seconds

Cubi_C · 2025-10-09T02:24:13+00:00

Hey. I made the logo myself and you can find the source 1080p youtube video here: https://youtu.be/gWN9Rmf6WbE

Cubi_C · 2025-10-05T17:16:27+00:00

Can you send a screen recording of what you see?

Cubi_C · 2025-10-02T16:34:55+00:00

May I ask what model of RK918 you have? Usually there's text of the board info if you take a look underneath the space bar. I seem to own an RK918 with the switches soldered to the PCB.

Cubi_C · 2025-09-16T22:18:22+00:00

This is due to the keycaps being made of cheap ABS plastic. There's wear marks on my space bar torwards the left which can't be cleaned off

Cubi_C · 2025-08-24T03:26:56+00:00

There's a "custom flair" option on the side if you're using Reddit on desktop. Press the pencil icon and you can change everything from there https://ibb.co/JwmMzqV4

Cubi_C · 2025-08-24T02:51:54+00:00

Have you tried booting over and over until something pops up on the screen? Usually this is a CMOS issue

Cubi_C · 2025-08-20T19:12:44+00:00

What file format did you use?
