benqs6 SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED fix....kinda

I got the  SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED bsod whenever I tried to install any of the stripped down versions of XP.. The work around I used was first booting from a full xp install the pulling out the thumbdrive after I formatted the drive and replaced it with a mini XP disk. So far it seems to work but I have had to skip a billion files by pressing esc. this method does not work you will need to grab a copy of nlite and make your own stripped down XP!!

Benq S6 usb highjack!

Plan is.....Im going to get a micro usb hub and plug in a wireless and bluetooth dongle and a 64 gig usb drive into it. Then highjack the only usb port. then i will place another port on the device from the usb hub. That way I get storage and some useability kinda........looks like it will work in theory....... Pics as soon as it doesn't work....

Benq S6 ACPI EC (Embedded Controller)

The Benq S6 MID uses an ACPI compliant Embedded Controller to control several functions of its hardware:

• Enable/disable wireless lan, bluetooth and hsdpa modem (also gps, but at least on my model is not present)
  
• Control leds
  
• Control brightness
  
• Keylock

EC protocol

The EC allows to write/read 8 bit data in 256 registers.
The Benq S6 MID use a protocol with only two registers for all the functions.
The protocol to read the hardware status is:

• Read the register 0x60, must read 0x0
  
• Write in the register 0x60 the opcode for the hardware to query
  
• Read the register 0x60, must read 0x0
  
• Read the register 0x61, the value in this register is the result of the query

The protocol to change the hardware status is:

• Read the register 0x60, must read 0x0
  
• Write in the register 0x61 the data to change the hardware status
  
• Write in the register 0x60 the opcode for the hardware to change
  
• Read the register 0x60, must read 0x0

There are two special registers for the status of the power button: 0x46 and 0x47.

opcodes

Query opcodes:

• 0x15 : get_brightness
  
• 0x17 : get_keylock
  
• 0x19 : get_sd_cd
  
• 0x28 : get_hsdpa
  
• 0x2a : get_wireless
  
• 0x2c : get_gps

Write opcodes (for most of them 0 is off, 1 is on):

• 0x16 : set_keylock
  
• 0x18 : set_sd_cd (the meaning of this opcode is not yet fully understood)
  
• 0x22 : set_brightness (accepts data from 0 to 7)
  
• 0x27 : set_hsdpa
  
• 0x29 : set_wireless (enable both wlan and bluetooth)
  
• 0x2b : set_gps
  
• 0x40 : set_wirelesslanled
  
• 0x41 : set_wwanled
  
• 0x42 : set_sysled (0 off, 1 on still, 2 on flashing)
  
• 0x43 : set_chargingled
