In general, you can find MITAC drivers here:

Not sure which ones you're looking for though.

I removed the rubber infill that covered a hidden screw. Released screw and then removed back plate. Removing the battery then required care as it is stuck with two sided tape to the Mio internals. Here I used a knive to prise/cut free.

SBA is the model number. Go to Mitac website to download the drivers that match your pc.

This might help. CLICK HERE to see an ATX power supply pinout.

What is the drive model and manufacturer. The Mitac MCH314 is a bare-bones chassis and not a system assembly. Please provide more information.

I had exactly this problem with my pocket PC Mio 168. but thank goodness, i could resolve it about 8 months ago.

you can't change the language of your pocket PC , I mean to say if you change some options or settings in your pocket PC. to resolve this problem you have to flash the Rom of your pocket PC with an other one witch contains the language you want. for example Rom with English language.

so, first you have to download the Rom and software witch it will help you to flash your actual Rom.

sorry for my english

They should be. Use Google to find a local supplier.

Press and hold down the Power On button for 5 seconds and the laptop will shut down. Then you can turn it back on again, and get the equivalent of a Restart.
Such problems usually appear if a program that runs in the background refuses to shut down, usually because it thinks it has unfinished tasks. Most of the times it's just a glitch, not a real case of unfinished task.

This laptop is made by Mitac and sold by many computer companies (in the UK at least) such as Hi-Grade, Evesham and Medion.
This has a common fault which is being found on more and more laptop computers these days and that is that the video chip overheats due to lack of cooling and the cheap (WEII Compliant) lead free solder that is used to fix it to the motherboard cracks.
Common signs of this fault can be one or more of the following-
No Power light when charger connected
Battery not charging
Internal fan not running
And of course no picture
Repairing it is difficault. If you remove the bottom panel you will see a silver heat sink half under the plastic edge (this could so easily have been connected to the CPU heatsink arm and this of been avoided!). If you apply some light pressure to the top of it and switch your machine back on it usually will boot.
If it does and you want a fast fix then wedging some card between the top of the sink and the plastic casing may keep it alive for a while longer. If on the other hand your a pro or feel it's shi t or bust time then get a blow lamp and (like walking over broken glass) carefully heat the chip to reflow the solder beneth it. Do not apply any pressure to it when hot as the solder it is connected with is designed to be about 1mm from the motherboard surface. Pressing it will look like you have bitten into a hot dog and the mustard has spurted out both ends, except obviously with solder and a GPU (not so tasty!)
I shouldn't have to mention this but some people arn't so bright so please don't take offence: Remove the motherboard along with any cables, ram and the processor before attempting the blow lamp method!
It is actually professionally done this way except with a 'Rework Station) and not a blow lamp! I have however done it with an electric blow lamp I bought from Argos for £12 several times on various machines with all but one failing to revive.
Just as a note, the Xbox 360 RROD (Red Ring Of Death) is caused by the same issue. It can also be repaired using this method although there are safer alternatives in that case.
Hope I have helped some of you anyway. Please rate to let me know.
Phill.

Try attaching an external monitor to the laptop & see if you could get any display on it. If this is successful, then you might have either a faulty LCD cable or screen inverter board.
The LCD cable transfers data signal from the motherboard & video card to the LCD screen. It also supplies high voltage DC power to the screen inverter board. The screen inverter board works as a power supply for the backlight lamp mounted inside the LCD screen. It converts low voltage DC power to high voltage AC power needed for the backlight lamp

Good day, try the link below hope it will help you.

try using it without a manual this way you can not get something wrong unless it is very doubtful. and you will tend to get use to it quicker

up arrow + power_on until MIO logo

Buy the connector on the internet(its out there) and find some one with electronic repair savey and have them repair the unit for you. It's a better fix and won't cost you so much. I sent my unit to Mio and instead of just replacing the connector they replaced the whole main board + display. Sounds good but I have had problems with my SmartSt GPS program ever since. (Version problem) Can't get them to fix it.
