I'm following in your footsteps. Bezeen's post above helped me reinstall the Chinese firmware but I'm still working on the language issue. I did not have success trying to follow the procedures here: http://www.jiongtang.com/fourm/viewt...&t=630&start=0 Eletroworld provides the link for its English language pack here: http://www.eletroworld.cn/nb/download/language-en.rar. I have the unpacked the Eletroworld RAR file (language-pack-en-base.deb and language-pack-en.deb) to the SmartQ 7 Chinese desktop but I'm gun shy about going further. I do have a request in to e World for help but Alex has not uploaded his guide because of problems with his netbook. Were you able to reinstall the English language pack? If so, would you mind posting your steps? If anyone else knows, please reply, too. Thanks.
