- This is a disassembly of the One-Netbook One Mix 3s Yoga mini laptop that was previously unboxed here.
The video is rather long, so feel free to skip along or go right to near the end for hi-res photos of the inside.
Video may contain errors. Please don't try to open your machine unless you are comfortable doing so and losing your warranty, at your own risk.
Please leave your comments with any questions or corrections, Thanks!
This is a pre-order retail unit from JD.com purchased at full price. It is not a review sample, and this video is not sponsored by anyone.
Excellent video. I just had to replace the keyboard on mine and this was invaluable.
Where did you find a replacement keyboard?
Here: Keyboard for One-Netbook One Netbook OneMix 3 OneMix 3S OneMix3 OneMix3S One Mix 3S 3 English US Silver www.amazon.com/dp/B08133KRXF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gXGeFbS72G40M
Unfortunately, it now says unavailable, but the seller did respond fairly quickly to me. Perhaps you could message them about it.
Great tear down. It is too bad that the 3 S models do not come with an open m.2 slot to make use of the SIM card via an LTE modem.
Great disassembly. Very calming to watch. Thanks!
i have to change my one mix 3 yoga keyboard & your video help for direction to change it.
it was a success

Can you link where you found a replacement keyboard. If its an ebay seller which one? Thanks.
@@minsc9976 it is on aliexpress
very nice video my bro
That looks like a lot of late and half-assed design changes. Does not make very hopeful for longtime durability
Also regarding your thermal question regarding the battery: wouldn't the laws of thermo dynamics be in effect here? Which is to say, when heat is being generated by the CPU the heat will move along the heat pipes to the areas that are cooler based on how heat travels. Because the fan would be cooling the heat wouldn't this create a positive flow of heat that would keep heat from moving towards the batteries heat sink? In this way wouldn't the battery heat sink just help to move heat away from the battery itself?
My own experiences with the battery discharging is that it doesn't really generate heat. Only when the battery is being discharged and charged at the same time does the battery tend to heat up. Your thoughts on the matter would be much appreciated.
Thanks, I saw reports of additional M.2 slot but did not see in this video. Does it exist? @Larry
this is like asmr
Hello Larry how are you I change the battery of my laptop one mix 4 one netbook and when I switch one the keyboard doesn’t work can you help me
Спасибо за видео (thanks for the video)
How do you reconnect the optical mouse sensor? I used this guide to replace the battery but now my optical mouse doesn't work. I think I must have disconnected it somehow. The clicks work on the left and right buttons, but I can't move my cursor with the touch pad.
Those black tapes in there in mine are already not sticky anymore... any idea how those are called? Might need to buy replacements for that sticky tape.
Hey man - Someone's snagged a piece of your video regarding the fan swap you did and passing it off as their own. Check out "how to find the cheapest". Just thought you'd like to know.
This model is advertised as having aan addition slot for adding
a 2nd SSD. Any Idea as to where ??
Also, FYI, I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro very easily..BFN
Tom
Only the One Mix 3 has the slot, One Mix 3S doesn't. Not sure what type of slot it is too, my nvme drives seem to fit it but are a bit too long, haven't yet tried if they will work.
@@TomaszKucza I want to add a 512 gb ssd in my one mix3 but don't know where the slot is. Any idea?
@@shariqabideen When you open it (unscrew the back panel) there is easy access in the top right corner.
Here is a photo: photos.app.goo.gl/5Mc5wztwyyJ7cxVu9
The space seems a little short for bigger SSDs though, haven't tried adding one yet, still have a non-working keyboard so the device is gathering dust.
Hi Larry, I just bought a One Mix 3 Pro and tested the device. While charging and using it, I can feel the electric current flowing through the case and when I touch it, it zaps me.
I tried to disconnect the charger and use it purely on battery, after using quite a while, my hands feel uncomfortable and can feel the tingles sensation... If I lift the laptop close to my ear, I can hear tiny sizzling sounds from it. Could it be that the live wire is touching the case and how could I possibly fix it?
Larry, would you happen to know what the model of infrared track mouse is on this? It seems to be replaceable, but I can't for the life of me figure out where to get one. Thanks.
can i ask you something? my onemix yoga 3 is automatically turning on and off like in a loop. if i successfully go to the BIOS, it will suddenly turn off. what is/are your recommendation/s? TIA.
You can try to carefully unplug the battery and reconnect it after 5-10 minutes and see if it resolves the issue if you are comfortable working inside the computer. Otherwise, there could be a number of issues causing this.
@@liminalsunset thank you for replying! i did, but still in the loop. i think it's the batt even if it's 100%. you think so too?
@@ptrckprlt You can try to start the machine without battery connected using USB C power supply. You can restart it a few times before it will boot maybe.
Hi my fds, It happened mine as well, i drained out all battery by plug in usb fan, and change it again, it back to normal, but i have no idea it will happen again sometime, it is so frustrating...
I came here to see the keyboard part of the full teardown. seems it is not a full teardown.
Larry, are you still using your Onemix? I just recently got the refreshed Onemix 3pt with the Core i7-10510y cpu and noticed that my bottom plate is slightly warped and doesn't sit right, and that my left mouse button is sticking and not always registering. I'm wondering if you have an opinion on easy it would be to fix the left mouse button from sticking?
Hi there, just bought this wonderfull little machine. I find the fan pretty noisy/whiny, any hint on the feasability of replacing it with a quieter compatible fan ?
I made a video on how to do exactly this, if it may interest you
Is it possible to buy battery for One Mix 3/3S?
Hi Larry, my one mix 3s is not turning on, the blue power LED lights up for 5-6 seconds before going out again. Sometimes I see the windows bootup screen and sometimes nothing comes up on the screen, but the system switches off in 5-6 seconds regardless. Do you have any idea what's wrong? Hoping it's something I could take apart and fix...
If you're comfortable working inside the system, try to remove the back cover and disconnect the battery. Wait 5 minutes or so, then reconnect the battery, and try powering the system on. It may take several restarts or force restarts to get it to boot again.
Let me know if this helps
@@liminalsunset Thanks, let me give it a try following your video, will let you know how it goes!
Hi Larry, I tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting after 5 minutes, no response, had to plug in usb-c power for the blue LED to light up. The system power cycled on its own for around 10 times, each time the blue LED and the screen didn't last longer than 10 seconds. Sometimes there's nothing on the screen, sometimes I see the one mix logo, there was once I saw the windows login screen but only for a split second. The system stopped power cycling (restarting on its own) after maybe the 10th time. When I press the power button it's the same 5-6 seconds of blue LED before going out again.
I then tried leaving the battery disconnected and try switching on with usb-c power, the behavior is the same (5-6 seconds blue LED then nothing).....
@@michaelleung1980 any update on this? I have the same problem.
@@jhayde0830 still the same, I tried the disconnecting battery trick Larry mentioned with no luck... I even tried powering it up with the battery disconnected (read somewhere that it works without the battery) but it's still the same (blue light which goes out after a few seconds, sometimes I see boot screen, sometimes I see the automatic repair message before it goes out). I haven't tried anything else inside besides disconnecting the battery yet, don't know if anything would help.
what are the dimensions of the battery?
Hi friend
can you show the location of ssd and model on this laptop?
Hey Bro.. You seem to do the teardown quite confidently, do you think you can help me with similar teardown for a One Mix 2S (the M3-8100Y version), using that for almost 3 years, then the keyboard failed me. I google and found it was a common problem. Do you think if I dis-assembled the unit, I could repaired myself?
Yes, mine is just a few months and the keyboard has some problem with some keys intermittently pressed
In mine the keyboard and mouse-thingy stopped working one day. Any idea what might have caused that? It seems they are connected by separate cables, so unlikely the cables broke. Where is the sensor for screen position? Maybe in my case it disabled the keyboard thinking the screen is flipped (power button and backlight for keyboard work - the backlight is always on though)?
Given that the keyboard (actually attached using USB internally) and the mouse have stopped working together perhaps it does think it is in tablet mode. I assume the power button still works, and as part of the keyboard, that part should probably be fine.
The sensor for position I think (could be wrong) is a magnet Hall Effect Sensor. It's not exactly something that could get dirty or stuck in this application, but perhaps you might want to experiment with a strong magnet carefully to see if you can trigger it or something. Perhaps unplugging the battery and reconnecting it may reset the device. Does the display still turn off when closed in laptop mode?
Cheers
@@liminalsunset Thanks for the quick reply. The power button works, the device goes to sleep normally when I close the lid and display turns off. Checked with a strong magnet, no reaction to it in any place, hm, maybe it uses different way to detect being closed. I can use the device with external mouse and keyboard, so the USB subsystem works.
@UCaoe6oqqYAryy1zcTp8Hamg I believe there are some sensors inside the actual screen part, like the accelerometer. Unfortunately as a niche device schematics aren't available to perform more detailed analysis on this, but I'm wondering if the keyboard controller chip could be identified on the board, and the "enable" signal traced somewhere perhaps.
Larry, Great tear down video! Does the One Mix Yoga have a bios battery soldered to the motherboard? If yes, where is it located? I am trying to reset the bios. My 3s is not starting up. No logo/bios start up or windows 10. The blue led comes on for two seconds and turns off. I’ve reached out to One netbook company and there is absolutely no technical support or response. I regret buying this expensive laptop. Any advice based on your personal experience?
Hi,
Sorry for the late response. This laptop doesn't have a BIOS battery or a capacitor on board; it uses the main battery for this function. You may try to unplug the main battery for a while, maybe more than 5 minutes, and press the Power key with the battery out and the machine unplugged to drain residual power. As I note in the video, it may take a few restarts for the machine to power up when the battery is plugged in and the power adapter plugged in the first time it boots after a battery disconnection.
Please let me know what you think
Good luck!
Hi Larry, thanks for your quick reply. I’ve disconnected the battery and pressed the power button to drain any power on motherboard. After waiting for over 5 minutes, I reconnected the battery and plugged in the power and tried to restart many times without any success. Is there another way to reset the bios? Are there any pins on motherboard to reset bios? There is some anecdotal evidence that Windows updates may cause start up problems, but no solution is available. If I can somehow get into the bios, I can reinstall Windows. Could a bad battery cause these problems? I do appreciate any advice you can provide.
Hi Larry, Thank you for your quick reply. Not sure if my reply got posted. I disconnected the battery and left it unplugged overnight. I then pressed power button to drain any power from the motherboard. I tried to restart many times without success after plugging in and reconnecting the battery. Is there another way to reset the bios? If I could somehow get into the bios, I could reinstall Windows 10. Any pins in the bios to reset? Could it be a defective battery? Any advice is greatly appreciated?
Did you ever find a solution for this, I have the same issue
@@anubis.1337 You need a new battery
Would you recommend placing thermal pads, or is it not necessary?
I'm currently looking into this. At the moment if you do not do anything too stressful on it it may be fine.
@@liminalsunset What about VRM ? If there is a way to keep it under 125 degrees it will be great.
Open "One Netbook OneGx1" if you get it :)
Hello friend, I cannot see the bios battery, can you tell me where it is? Thanks for video.
Thanks
Hi, how do you find the wifi/bluetooth reception? My unit has always a crappy signal, and not sure if the antennae or the firmware might be guilty... Any advise? Thanks a lot!
Mine tends to have decent reception, gets most signals. Have you tried checking to make sure the antenna is in position and the cable is firmly connected?
@@liminalsunsetI have been able to check the Antenna connections and they seem to be firmly attached. Regarding the cables themselves, I lose track of them very quick, so I do not know if they are in place or not. Do you have any picture/video/schematics on how they should be placed? Thanks a lot Larry!
thanks for the video, could you review the pen?
Unfortunately I do not have the pen yet. It seems to be a different process to apply for and receive the pen.
btw, i get PTSD from you when you touch all the electronics on the board.
Electric discharge is real, and can easily break sensitive parts.
Hell yeah
Good review and beeakdown. Do you know where I can DL the drivers for this unit please. I tried there website the links do not work
Hi, which drivers do you require? I have a copy of all of the drivers for this device.
@@liminalsunset Hi, The keyboard 'FN' 'DEL' to control the fan isn't working and I have an unkown device in devices list which I don't know what it is. Besides that I have graphics and Bosch driver in place
Anyone know why it would have no power on
@@dcsmith4411 Could you please provide some more background information as to why the device isn't powering on? If you're able, try reconnecting the battery, measuring the voltage on the black and red wires of the battery, and checking to make sure the charger is working/use a different charger.
Does the LTE Sim slot work?
Beautiful piece of useless JUNK.. Mine worked GREAT for 2 weeks and then bricked !!!
No tech support, no warranty . BEWARE !!!!!!
Any reason why you didn’t go with the platinum?
Significantly more expensive, but the processor upgrade provides minimal performance increase.
Thanks for the response. I’m planning on getting one. I’m in between the platinum and the regular 3s. I’m totally fine spending the extra money, I just hear that maybe higher performance will make the computer run hotter? I also don’t know anything about the difference between the two’s performance...any info would help thanks.
@@walkercythompson If the cost is not of concern to you, the Platinum probably won't get much hotter, since they are limited by TDP. However, on the other hand, the performance difference should not be astronomically better. I usually use mine on battery saver, and the machine says it can run up to 12 hours on the battery (idling screen on). I don't see any reason this would be different with the i7, as long as you limit the performance. Pretty much the only other difference with the two is the colour. The black colour is nice in my opinion, and the logo on top that some people complain about is not very noticeable. It may be more noticeable on a lighter colour.
Larry
Ok, I was thinking maybe battery would be worse cause of the performance. Sounds like maybe it would all be the same. And I hear ya on the black, it looks way better to me as well.
👍👍👍😀
What do u do for a living??i hope your not an accountant or something. Geez
