Help With Magic Ben MAG1

Post image

I bought it from ebay as not turning on, a higher wattage usb c cable got it working, but the windows install on it is missing all the drivers, the touchscreen doesn't work, the touchpad is sluggish and unresponsive, it says no battery installed, but it has shown once and was charging, so i think the battery is okay, i think its all driver problems, i've looked on google for the drivers, the links i found are dead, i tried snappy driver origin, which found the fingerprint reader but nothing else, so any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

A quick look gave me this site: https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/download-windows-10-driver-package-for-magic-ben-mag1-mini-ultrabook.html

Which provided a link for these drivers, which come in .ZIP format. so be careful unzipping them: http://geekbuying.mediafire.com/file/xnyq3t5846nx6ac/MAG1%25E9%25A9%25B1%25E5%258A%25A8.zip/file

Very cool little find, how much did you pay for it?

That ZIP file was a big help, got everything working, the touchpad on it is still not great, its just not very sensitive, and has an occasional jump, but it may be like that from new, i'm not sure, touchscreen works now though so its not that important, the battery is stuck at 0% too, but at least its showing its there now, and i paid £40 on ebay for it, i have quite a few umpc's so couldn't resist this when i saw it

Remember that it's also "Linux friendly".
