Refund. - You Reply: I picked up the programmer and adapter for in circuit programming for $5.42 with free shipping, found the English version of the latest software now just waiting. I also got the SOP programming socket for $1.23, free shipping.
With as often as the product seems to need the bios reloaded this should be packaged with the product.
What cost us $7 would be a lot less in China. - You Reply:

Heads up on the backup, either purchase a 64GB USB thumb drive or use gzip while backing up! Find something to read, my Thumb drive is a USB 3.0 but best speed was 18MB/s (USB 2.0 speed), I was expecting 50MB/s
There are several flavors of Linux floating around, can you install Sparky? - Topic: Lattepanda doesn't startYou Reply:

Did you get yours resolved? Mine just started with the real hot no red led thing! - You Reply: And I just caught it!
Working and backing up like crazy and an hour later when I turned it on nothing, just heat! - You Reply: What I had to do after downloading Sparky x86 for the 2GB/32GB LP:
fdisk -l
/dev/mmcblk0p1 100m EFI
/dev/mmcblk0p2 16m Microsoft reserved
/dev/mmcblk0p3 28.2g Microsoft basic data
/dev/mmcblk0p4 800m Microsoft recovery environment
/dev/sda1 28.7g HPFS/NTFS USB 3.0 thumb drive
/dev/sdb1 2g Fat32 Sparky boot
sudo su
// I named the directory usb3
mkdir /mnt/usb3
chmod 755 /mnt/usb3
nano /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb3 ntfs defaults 0 1
mount /mnt/usb3
cd /mnt/usb3
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p3 of=./mmcblk0p3.raw bs=4M status=progress
//the usb 3.0 thumb drive I purchased to do this only had 400mb left.
The above just saved the way the windows system currently is without any restore points of boot.
To get back to where you were you will have to install windows 10 from the original image and restore this dd save point BUT during the upgrade from the original windows to AE the boot sector may have changed?
If you want to back up everything you need a 32GB USB thumb drive
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 | gzip > ./mmcblk0p1.gz
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p2 | gzip > ./mmcblk0p2.gz
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p3 | gzip > ./mmcblk0p3.gz
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p4 | gzip > ./mmcblk0p4.gz
This gives a boot, ms reserved, data and recovery check points
gzip -dc /mnt/usb3/mmcblk0p1.gz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0p1
gzip -dc /mnt/usb3/mmcblk0p2.gz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0p2
gzip -dc /mnt/usb3/mmcblk0p3.gz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0p3
gzip -dc /mnt/usb3/mmcblk0p4.gz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0p4 - You Reply: Got Sparky, flashed a thumb drive, it booted to a menu and my keyboard wouldn't work. Had to unplug power to the LP to get the keyboard and mouse to work again, couldn't even get esc to work during POS. Once I select an option to boot I was prompted for a user/password - live is the user and live is the password, thank you google.
When I tried to enter dd my keyboard lost it's mind, the auto-repeat function went nuts a single d was:
dddddddddddddddd and llllllllllliiiiiiiivvvvvvvveeeeeeee
Anyone else get this to happen?
My USB ports have been intermittent, sometimes the mouse stops and I have to power the board off restore it, when it is stopped you can plug/unplug the device and it shows in the device manager but there is no mouse tracking. - You Reply: For getting a backup Sparky will be great!(Still waiting on the download) But how do I load the Linux I want to run if they don't support uefi 32bit booting?

Found SparkyLinux 4.4 MinimalCLI i686 non-pae for x86 machines like 2GB/32GB LP and SparkyLinux 4.4 MinimalCLI x86_64 for the x64 machines like 4GB/64GB
ubunta support uefi 64bit or legacy booting but not uefi 32bit booting hence why the doco on this site for creating a disk image using "dd" is not working for those of us with 2gb/32gb model.
Solution, find a linux distro that has both uefi 32bit and uefi 64bit.
Took some time but I found one and it worked on my 2gb/32gb lattepanda.
Drum roll........ sparky linux has it in there iso. ( http://sparkylinux.org/ )
Simply follow the doco on this site for creating a backup image but replace the iso for the sparky one and all is good again.. I used the minimual cli version.
PS. can also compress the image you create with "dd" on the fly for that go to this page for help. http://www.linuxweblog.com/dd-image
Hope this helps.
At http://sparkylinux.org/download/#minimal
NOTE for LP: the #minimal HTML tag jumps me to the section of that sites page I want Hint: add anchors to your site.
I found a couple of x86 versions but the issue is the LP product bios and it is the only one that can only run x86, the other Atom based products can be configured as X64 or X32, something I didn't understand until I noticed the Z5-8300 specs from Intel, others are using Z5-8350, faster, X64 same price.

@Ben392 which model did you purchase? 2GB/32GB or 4GB/64GB?
Slowly I'm really annoying, the package has since July 30 on the way and always I will only put off.
July 14th until ? As of today that is 56 days and you still have to estimate of when they will ship? - Topic: Production Facility PhotosetYou Reply: Please label the pictures so we can ask questions about each
Thank you. - You Reply: The Atom Intel docs show the HDMI and DP able to do 4K, I don't have a 4K display, yet, to try it. The Home edition is just that, for home, I can't even change the workgroup. Upgrade to Pro from Microsoft can be done from inside the System window on LP.
- You Reply: I've played with the Arduino and it can be wired to the GSM shield, you would have to write the code that talks to Windows RAS engine, since the Arduino device has a com port listed linking to to windows as a modem is simple. I don't know if you can go directly to the Atom RX/TX pins with the GSM device, there is not enough information about the LP product to guess what voltage those pins are. My guess is they are at the chip level of 1.8 volt.
See viewtopic.php?f=6&t=693 - You Reply: I installed for a neighbor and after setting up Windows 10 and upgrading it to AE I went into Startup / Settings / Time & language / Region and language - it is here you can select your region and language. I know not if LP has the region pack to build releases for other countries, they should since they are listed as an OEM to Microsoft.
- You Reply: For the 2GB/32GB system:
At this time there is no means to make a device that holds in time images. You can make a boot disk to restore your system, it takes forever, you can setup a removable device as the backup for user files but when you try to make a restore point you can not tell the OS where to save the restore point. That means if you wipe you device out to install another OS you will have to restore the base system and take the time to upgrade the OS and reinstall all your programs. Since you can't boot a Linux thumb drive at this time and I suspect this also includes the Android boot the issue of backing up a 2GB/32GB LP is a mote point. - Topic: Possible water damageYou Reply: Mine has that also, my suggestion:
Visit a distiller outlet and purchase a pint of 190 proof Everclear, purchase an extra soft tooth brush and a can of frozen orange juice. While holding your LP over a bowl dip the tooth brush into the open bottle of Everclear and gently scrub the areas were the fabricators cleaning solution was not flushed. Do this a couple of times then flush the cleaned area with straight Everclear. Take the remaining Everclear and add it to the frozen orange juice, mix and drink all of it. After you get up the LP should be dried out and look'en good.
It appears Q&A was asleep when our boards were shipped, which model did you get? - You Reply: They know about the Linux boot issue on the 2GB/32GB LP:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=673
Unfortunately when they do get an updated bios to resolve this you will either have to RMA your board back or buy the tools and spend the time to replace the existing bios. While the money is one part ($2.64 + $2.80 = $5.44 http://goo.gl/nyjCPe search his store for bios)
The 14 to 24 day wait sucks. I have found the Flash Clip and an ISP programmer n the US but that comes at a cost, more than I'm willing to pay. From what I've read on this forum the turn-around time for a repair is not known since nobody has made it past China's import landlords, perhaps someone from LP could correct me. - Topic: Possible water damageYou Reply: Pictures please! Mine has solder that looked dark, or should I same not solder shiny...
Have you 'plugged' it in? - You Reply: Simple test:
1. Set up a meter to measure the voltage at CN2 +5 to GND.
2. Turn power on to the until, observe the red led on the bottom go out - Did the voltage drop below 4.5 volt?
3. Press the On switch (Next to the 24 pin connector) the red LED should light up
4. Watch the voltage, it should start above 5 volts and not drop more than 20% (4V) NOTE: This is a guess since this product is closed there is no means to tell how they derive the voltages needed - since the Atom chip is a 1.8 volt device this assumes voltage regulators that provide 3.3, 1.8, 1.2 volts and don't forget the Atmel device that requires 4.5 volts to function at 16mhz.
