Can I upgrade my Windows 7 system to Windows 10?


Thinlabs Quad Core products (TL1000, TL2300, TL2400, TL85xx, TL86xx) support Windows 10.

What are the Default Windows Passwords on Thinlabs Embedded Systems?

Thinlabs systems have two default user accounts (user / password),
Administrator / Administrator and User / User, respectively.

Devices by default automatically log onto the User account.

VNC Password: Admin

It is highly recommended to change default passwords immediately to keep your IT environment secure.

Where is the serial number on my system?

Serial numbers of Thinlabs All-In-One Systems and Box Modules are 12 digits in length; serial numbers of ADITI Lithium Ion Batteries are 6 digits in length.

Certification stickers with serial numbers are located on the back of box client modules.

On integrated thin clients, there is a certification sticker on the back of the system;
newer models also have a 2nd serial number sticker either on the left side bezel or on the bottom of the bezel.

If the certification sticker has been destroyed, contact Thinlabs Support.

What products can I use to clean my touch screen?
  • Turn the device OFF prior to cleaning.
  • Use any standard glass cleaner to clean the touchscreen - AVOID PRODUCTS CONTAINING AMMONIA.
  • DO NOT spray glass cleaner directly on the LCD as it could possibly leak inside a non-sealed unit and cause damage.
  • Spray glass cleaner on a cloth / towel and then clean the touchscreen. A clean microfiber cloth can also be used.

What is your support policy when using a Proprietary (OEM) Operating System?

-----

THINLABS WARRANTY AND SUPPORT IS LIMITED TO MANUFACTURING AND HARDWARE DEFECTS ONLY. Review our on-line support options, including our FAQs and Downloads first.

-----

If OEM Software does not complete a successful boot process:

  • NOTE: It is the responsibility of OEM support personnel to provide recovery media and instructions to end users.
  • Thinlabs can offer this service for OEM customers with a valid support contract.
  • After the initial system BIOS post, if OEM software (regardless of operating system) either (1) fails to load completely or (2) continuously reboots, try reloading the operating system.

OEM Software Touch screen problems:

  • When using a proprietary OS, verify that X and Y coordinates are not hard-coded so that the touch screen calibration utility can properly detect and set coordinates.  If coordinates have been hard-coded, update settings in the software as required for the specific unit.
  • If, after trying the above to remedy any issues, the thin client is still not working, please request an RMA for further support.

-----

Thinlabs reserves the right to charge standard out-of-warranty service fees when:

  • units returned fail to exhibit any problems as reported;
  • problems resolved are not manufacturing and hardware related; or
  • any problems with the thin client could have been remedied utilizing the available on-line support options provided.
