Winbook TW801 drivers please
Hi I have a Winbook TW801 on the way and I'd like to install win8.1 pro 32bit on it as it's lighter, faster and has a smaller footprint than win10. I was hoping to find the drivers on the site, only to see that I need to contact you for them. Could you please provide a link? Thank you very much. Merry Christmas. 😁

Ender 5 Plus: Gap from nozzle to bed, can't level, screeching sound during z movement
I just finished assembling my new Ender 5 3d printer, but I can't level it. No matter how I turn the leveling screws, I get at least 1-2mm of space between the bed and the nozzle. Also, if I set all four screws to be about the same, there's a tilt of a couple of mm along the X axis. Possibly related is the screeching noise…

Keyboard not working after spilled water
Please forgive the nature of this basic question, but... My kid spilled a little bit of water on my keyboard and the space bar stopped working. Can it be fixed at a reasonable cost (or fixed at all?), or am I better off buying a new keyboard? I would rather fix it as it was a fairly expensive keyboard and cash is tight…

Weird stability issues: PC shuts down on USB unplug, Headset mic sounds scrambly and robotic
