Belkin OmniView DVI switch constant beeping??

Hi just wondering if anyone uses this product with their macs cause I barely plug in the power cord when the thing just keeps beeping. I don't know what to do and the site has firmware that removes this problem but its an .exe file that macs don't read. Anyone have any opinions or suggestions?
thanks

Wow, that's silly! I'm afraid you'll probably have to find a Windows computer somewhere to run the update on.

  • Belkin Flip KVM Switch and Blue Screen

    G5 Dual 2ghz, clean install of Leopard.
    I have a dual head video card, attached to the DVI port is a 22" monitor connected via DVI, on the ADC port I have ADC to VGA adaptor which a Belkin "Flip" KVM switch is attached, leading to a 17" monitor.
    On booting I get to the point when the Finder should be loading and get a blue screen on both monitors, the monitors both periodically do a fade from black as though the system has just tried to change video resolution. However this loop continues.
    If I remove the KVM and have the 17" plugged in, boot up is fine. This set up worked fine with 10.4x.
    Any suggestions.
    Thanks

    Zork, have you cracked this problem yet?
    I have a similar item - Belkin's Switch2 for Mac mini - and I get the same halting at the blue screen. Belkin UK's 2nd line support failed to replicate this error and replaced my device with the one that they used. It failed as well on my system (which works fine without the Switch2!).
    In case it helps, a dig in the logs showed the following fault repeating itself presumably while the screen stayed blue:

  • P67A-C43 no boot, constant beep, 3 lights

    Hello all,
    When I attempt to power on the system I get a constant beeping sound and what looks like 3 blue lights on the mobo. ( very quickly 1 to all 4 then to only 3. The beep is constant and will not stop until power is removed from the system.
    The board supports an 8 pin power connector but 4 pins had a cap on them. Do I need an 8 pin connection? I only used a 4pin in the top uncapped area (top)....
    PSU is 500w 4pin, 4gb ddr3 in slot 1.
    Any ideas?

    That is not the correct answer, I am having the same issues with my MSI-P67A-G45 and I'm running a Corsair 850TX, and I had a 700W PSU in there before that... both PSUs did the same thing....
    Constant short beeps until the power is removed from the board (via disconnecting the Power Cable), or Switching the PSU switch to the OFF position.
    The only way I can get it to stop is to do what I wrote above and then wait 5-10 secs and power it back on, sometimes it takes 1-2 times to get it to stop beeping... so no it is NOT a PSU issue.
    I've read several other threads about this and have not seen a clear answer on it.
    I hope someone can help us out because it is rather annoying to have a board that is 2 weeks old already having issues... (BTW, this started right when I installed the board, so I know it's not something that I did myself.
    Any realistic tips would be great... thanks.

  • Very quiet constant beep on forced shutdown

    I dont know what just happened - but on startup my mouse froze and the puter hung - i couldnt even ctrl-alt-del.  So it used the reset button, that didnt work so i hit the off switch until it shut down.  After the fans had stopped i was aware of a very quite constant beeping that definately came from the computer - where i dont know and i certainly didnt recognise it as an alarm from the motherboard like what you get when the chip is getting up to temp or something isnt right at boot-up.
    Would anyone have any ideas as to what it was as im sure it is related to the system hanging.
    regards to you all

    The bios version you are using has a bearing on whether the cpu temp is acceptable or not so perhaps you can add those details to your signature. As you mention the MSI chipset fan I assume that you have the K7N2 Delta-ILSR but please clarify. The reason why I mentioned the CPU Warning Temperature option  is it tends to start to operate below the setting in the bios in my experience of using the board. Raising it to say 63/66c should remove that as a possible cause of the beeping. The board will still shut down if the cpu reaches a critical temperature. It is just a warning beep.
    Hi Labtech, yes it is the ilsr and the bios is award 7.70.  I did an update last night on the PC Alert and since then its reporting 4 degrees cooler.  Ive not done the bios as there was nothing there in the fixes that I thought related to me and ive heard that with bios unless there is something to fix dont fix it.  I will though flash it if you advise me to.  
    Although I know what was causing the warning beep, i still havent found out what or even where this other very quiet beeping came from on the board.  Im convinced though it was not a bios warning beep like the one we have been talking about with regard to the cpu temp.  That is unless you great techies can tell me otherwise (cos im still worrying about it even thought it hasnt happend again )

  • H61M-P21 B3 Constant Beeping, Won't POST

    So basically when I start my computer, I get a constant error beeping going, with a couple short beeps at the very start, and then back to just the constant beeping. I can see a little flashing underscore on the top left of my screen, and it switches between the numbers 98 and 99 on the bottom right. After about 20 seconds, I get even more beeps thrown into the already constant beeping for a second, and then they stop and it goes back to continuous beeping. I then also get 92, A2, A3, and A4 errors on the bottom right. It doesn't POST. It will just sit there constantly beeping with a A3 at the bottom right.
    I should also add that the power is always on whenever power is plugged in. Not sure why this is happening either. The only way to shut the motherboard all the way off is to unplug the power cord or turn off the PSU.
    My specs are as follows:
    Core i3 2120 CPU
    MSI H61M-P21 B3 Motherboard
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM
    Diamond HD Radeon 6770 1GB GPU
    Seagate 250 GB SATA 7200 RPM HD
    ASUS SATA DVD-RW Drive
    Thermaltake Purepower 2.0 600 Watt PSU
    I previously had a ASRock board that wouldn't detect my video card, or any others I had here to try, so I bought this one. With the ASRock board, I could boot to Windows just fine with onboard video, so I think everything is working fine.
    Things I have tried:
    Resetting CMOS
    Trying each stick of RAM separately
    Using onboard GPU (same exact errors)
    Trying different monitors
    I'm out of ideas, and I'm not even sure if I can take the board back. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    It has completed POST when you get to the A3 code. AA is the one that is shown once in the OS. Those aren't errors, just the normal progression codes thru the POST process.
    A3 it's now looking for the OS. You can't migrate the OS from another system & expect it to work in the new one. Also, did you install the OS in AHCI? Then you must have the SATA controller set to AHCI & not in IDE mode.
    Added: What keyboard & mouse are used? F-Lock on the keyboard enabled? How many USB devices or add-in cards are being used?

  • Tecra M1: boots to Toshiba splash screen - then constant beep!

    when 'switching on', the Toshiba splash screen appears, then nothing else happens. Any key pressed after that, just makes a constant beep. I purchased the machine from a dealer, 2nd hand (500) with XP Pro pre loaded, all updated etc, everthing worked fine till switching it on yesterday. This is my first laptop, and first time using this forum, 'be gentle please'

    Hi Alan
    I think what Nicky said might not apply to the M1. The trick probably works for Phoenix bios machines, but the M1 has Toshiba BIOS and will only enter the BIOS settings when ESC is pressed at a certain timewindow.
    Back to your problem, you say the Toshiba logo is shown then othing else happens.
    Most common is that the machine stops (but is still listening to keystrokes) when there is a problem to establish contact with the IDE-devices. The devices have a certain amount of time to respond correctly before the BIOS times out and gives you an error message.
    Did you try to leave the machine like this for say 1-2 minutes? Did you look at it the whole time?
    If not, please do. It is possible (although not certain) that you have a problem with either the HDD or optical device. Try removing the optical device from the Selectable bay. Any change to the problem? If yes, then there is either a problem with the optical drive or the IDE channel #1 (number 2 in human language). That means motherboardproblems.
    So to clear it up and summarize: most probably you have a problem with either the HDD or the CD/DVD or the IDE channels on the motherboard.
    The best way to check this is to look at the machine and wait some time and see if there is a timeout error message from the BIOS.
    Good luck

  • Have 23" Cinema Display, want 30" but don't know if my DVI switch will work

    I have a 23" Cinema Display currently being shared by my 2 Macs (G5 and MacBook Pro) and 2 Windows PCs using a 4 port Single Link DVI KVM.
    I want to upgrade to a 30" display, but I am getting some conflicting advise from Apple Store personnel, Apple Online Store, etc.
    I want to put an adapter between my current single link DVI switch and a new 30" cinema display. I keep hearing to use the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but looking at pictures of it, I don't see how that would work. I would need two DVI connections on the adapter (one in and one out), but I don't see that on there.
    The gist is, I have 4 computers (which may or may not have dual link DVI) and I want to still use them to drive a 30" Cinema Display. Am I just hosed and have to wait, or buy a 30" monitor from another vendor?
    I would be fine with the current 1920 by 1200 resolution on the 30" as I am purchasing this to help my tired eyes.
    Thanks for any advise.

    I have read of other 30" monitors (Samsung) supporting lower resolutions using a single link DVI. Is it just the Cinema Display that doesn't support single link at any resolution.
    The Apple 30" will work at 1,280 x 800 via single-link DVI.
    What's the point though

  • Two Port DVI Switch ?

    I would like to hook up my 20' ACD with my Mini and my Compaq Desktop with a DVI graphics card.
    Is their a DVI switch of some sort avaliable in the market ? I know about the regular KVM switches (VGA/PS2) but need some guidance in the DVI arena...
    Thanks

    A search of this forum for "DVI KVM" will yield a ton of information...

  • Mini DVI switch

    Hi,
    I have two mini DVI adapters for my iMac. One to VGA to connect it to my second screen for working and one to Video to connect it to my TV as a media center.
    Is there something like a mini DVI switch with that I can connect both adapter to switch between second screen and TV and don't have to unplug the adapters everytime?

    I don't know of any such product. If the TV is also connected over VGA, you can probably connect a VGA switch to the end of one of one of those mini-DVI adapters and then connect your TV and second display to the switch. If the TV is an HDTV and connects with HDMI, or an older one that uses composite, then that would not work.
    Alternately, you can dedicate the mini-DVI port to the TV connection. And get one of these adapters that lets you connect a display using USB

  • DVI Switch Apple 20" Cinema PC and Mac

    Hi i have recently purchased a DVI switch so that i am able to swap the output to my 20" Apple Cinema Monitor between my Windows PC and my PowerMac G4. the switch its self works perfect i am using apples ADC to DVI convertor which is plugged into the the switches output and the DVI outputs from the PC and Mac are going into the switches inputs, The problem i have is that when i switch to the PC and then back to the Mac my Mac seems to sleep the DVI output on the graphics card and i am unable to wake it up, so i have been resorting to a reboot before the monitor displays an output for the Mac, I have noticed that whilst the Mac is booting i can switch back and forth and it functions as intended which leads me to believe that this sleeping the output is a function of the OS, does anyone know how i can solve this problem. many Thanks

    You may need a DVI Detective between the Mac and the DVI switch.

  • DVI Switch questions

    Hi,
    I have two Mac Pro's and I want to share one of my displays with both.
    Because my display has both VGA and DVI input I tried using the VGA input firsth, but it turned out that my Mac didn't support it's root resolution 1440x900 in this configuration.
    So I decided to go for an DVI Switch, but I have a few questtions about it.
    -I have read that you should never connect or disconnect an monitor when eigther the monitor or Mac is still running. (It could damage both!)
    But how about "hot" switching? I'll be constantly switching between the two Mac's while they are both running.
    -Could thid damage my Mac's???
    -An other thing is that switching using a DVI switch seems to take a lot more time than using an VGA switch.
    (The Mac's seem to know that an monitor is added or gone, and addapts to the new situation.)
    Can I speed this up?
    Greetings,
    Michiel

    I asume that my "König comuter 2 port DVI KVM Switch" wouldn't qualify for decent.
    So if I want to be able to swich quickly between my two machines, I have to use VGA! (although quality will be bad because of the resolution)
    Why doesn't OSX support 1440 x 900 on VGA?
    Or is there a work-a-round?

  • DVI Switch

    I'd like to use my Cinema display with my Macbook Pro as well as my Deskpro. Any suggestions on a good quality DVI switch. Not really interested in the KVM features.

    THE PROBLEM
    I had one CRT VGA monitor, one LCD VGA monitor and One 'Apple DVI to TV adaptor' but only two DVI-I outputs available on my Quad G5. I wanted to switch easily from my VGA LCD monitor to TV Adaptor using the second DVI-I output as the urge took me. The other DVI output was for my main monitor which I didn't want to mess with.
    But there are no DVI-I switches that don't cost less then £50/€70/$96. Most switch just the digital part of the DVI-I output anyway. These are DVI-D switches. No good to me. It baffles me why there aren't any DVI-A monitor switches. The only difference from VGA monitor switches is that DVI-A sockets would be required.
    I invested in a cheap 'Female DVI-I (the Apple TV Adaptor is DVI) to Male VGA adaptor' but there was something wrong with it as the Apple TV Adaptor refused to work.
    After much searching on the internet I couldn't find out what the pins on the Apple TV Adaptor where. So like any good geek I found out for myself.
    Here is what I found and ultimately how to make a 'VGA to Apple TV Adaptor'. I now use a cheap VGA monitor switch I got second hand to switch easily from VGA monitor to Apple TV Adaptor. Work and play are only a quick switch away. Total cost €9/$12/£6.
    All the information you need is here:-

    I hope this helps a few people. I know I could've done with it.

  • HT5860 constant beeps like a key is stuck down constantly, made the noise since new

    I have a MacBook Air and ever since I have had the computer (6 months) it makes a constant beeping noise like a key is stuck on.  There is no reason for it, it happens at random and I can see no pattern to it. Tonight it happened everytime I opened downloads, this afternoon it was when I open my e-mails, no pattern whatsoever.  Anybody giv me some advice?

    Beeps can be an indication there's a problem with the RAM (memory)
