Dear friends,

My Mi Pad 2 has bricked after flashing ROM by using MiFlash Tool. Now the Pad can not power on/fastboot/recovery. I want to unbrick it by test point method but i dont know where are the test points on the mainboard.

Please help me to show positions of test points of MiPad 2?

Thank you in advance.
 
I doubt it's bricked. This device is almost unbrickable. Probably, you battery is completely empty or dead. Try to connect charger (red light should appear) and leave it for couple of hours (maybe for a whole day). Then try to turn it on by holding power button pretty long time.

Now I can not power up it, red light is not appear when charger plugged. Battery was normal before apply flashing ROM.
My tab is Android version with 16GB internal storage.

Thank you for support!
 
I've just got in possession of a MiPad2 that had to be thrown to Recycle-Bin. Saved it and I wanted to install Windows. I've followed those instructions: https://github.com/brianwoo/mipad2-win10-howto. Booted from an USB stick, started the Windows install and after the 1st reboot the tablet is death.
No red light (for charging), all I can measure is the charging current (between 10W when battery is empty to 1W when is almost full).

I've opened the tabled, disconnect the battery and this didn't help at all. What worked was to leave the tablet alone 2 days to have the battery deplete (empty the battery).
After the battery is depleted when I charge it, the red light appears and sometimes at a short press of 'power button' display shows the battery level.
Right now I'm trying over and over to charge it a bit (5%-10%) and boot from USB or at least enter the BIOS, but no success.
After each try to boot it I have to leave it again to deplete the battery before another try. (so, for each try I have to wait at least 1 hour to have battery from 5% to 0% to start over).

If someone has some ideas, I can try them.
"fastboot devices -l" , "Intel Platform Flash Tool" and MiFlash20220507 : doesn't detect the tablet

Thanks
