AC Adapter dead after firmware update

Just wondering if anyone else out there has had their AC adatpter fizzle out and die (with that wonderful electrical burning smell) immediately after updating to the lastest firmware?
I'd been using the Macbook for an hour or so with it plugged into a UPS battery backup (a bit of overkill I know, but I was really just using it as a powerboard at the time) then updated the firware and everything was fine...for about a minute then the power brick fizzled out and I noticed a flash of light through the cracks then it stopped working. The 'book is fine running off the battery, but that is only going to last another half an hour or so before running flat.
Hopefully it will be replaced straight away when I take it into the Apple store today - we'll seee

Quick update:
Apple store are replacing the dead power supply on Monday - hooray!
On Saturday the battery ran dry in record time - boo!
I have several files on the Macbook that my GF needs for her thesis that is due on Monday - sigh!

Mega Player 515 dead after firmware update

I've just updated my mega player 515 with the latest firmware V3.00.12.. everything seemed to be working until I selected the new "playlist"-item in the player-menu and it turns off.. whatever I do it wont turn on again, the computer cant recognize it anymore either.. what to do? please help!

Same thing just happened to my 515.
Updated to the new firmware (V3.00.12). All worked okay, I uploaded some music, played no problem, until I went into the playlist.
The thing just froze on the folders list. Can't turn it off and the PC won't recognise it.
Waiting for the battery to run down, now to see if that works.
Will let you know, but if anyone has any ideas .......

E66 unrepairable dead after firmware update

Hello.
I have (or better to say "had") a Nokia E66 and Nokia Software updater just completely and unrepairable (said by official service) destroyed my E66 few days after warranty ended.
It is unbelievable! I was successfully using it every day until the software update. Software Updater wrote that cell phone is disconnected and I must reconnect it. I have done it many times but every time it failed. So I took cell phone to official service and they told me that they cannot flash it and only way to repair it is to replace mainboard.
How is that possible? It worked very fine until software action! So I am supposed to throw my E66 to trash and buy another cell phone? Well, if yes, then not Nokia again. I want to own cell phone which is able to flash phone software without destroying whole phone!

I have the same experience with my phone. Nokia invites to keep SW up-to-date; if you do it through OVI Suite, your phone may be destroyed. Therefore, Nokia should stop offering such service, or take responsibility for repair costs.

Restoring after firmware update - Ways :)

Hi All,
Nowadays we are receiving quite a few complaints that customers are unable to restore the application after updating their firmware. I would like all to discuss to come up with some ways to restore their applications after firmware update.
Before updating firmware
Customer can backup his phone using Nokia PC Suite's Content Copier application.
He can store his Contacts and Messages using Nokia Communication Centre as .csv file or .txt file.
For his Contacts he can sync with pc suite supported sync applications.
Messages he can store in Memory card and he can make a backup of memory card in PC.
If he is using Nokia PC Suite for his Multimedia items he can use Image Store if he is using Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Photos if he is using Nokia OVI Suite.
For Music he can use Nokia Music Manager or Nokia Music.
Once after updating his firmware, if he is unable to restore he can get those from above said applications.
If his calendar entries are not restored(as in case of some of Nokia e 71s and Nokia N 95/95 8 GBs), for God's sake if he has got one more similar device(or device having switch application on phone), he can restore the backup file to another phone having switch application, then he can transfer his data (Contacts, Calenders etc ) to his original phone
Dear Forum members, if you have got any other work around please let me know regarding the same, which will help our customers

Hi,
If you have issue in Nokia PC Suites, [subject to your phone's compatibility with Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 ],
you can install Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 and check if you can take backup and restore it later.
Also i would suggest to use USB for taking backup, since it will be faster than Bluetooth. Also you can select one category at one time(say backup contacts alone, then Calendar, then messages etc and so on ....)
Its better to skip memory card backup while backup-ing other Phone data for faster backup. Memory card backup can be done separtely(since it wont be affetcted while updating firmware, users can safely remove memory card while updating firmware)
Nowadays though recent phones has got UDP(User Data Prevention i.e., even if you update your phone's firmware, your data wont get erased ), still it is recommended to backup your phone data.
Hope this could help
I welcome our experts to add more details related to this topic.

Problems after firmware update 52.0.007

Hi,
I got my phone back after the shop fixed a problem and updated the firmware to the latest version 52.0.007.
But now I have following problems:
I can't get the calendar anymore to show up on the homescreen, even after checking the checkbox to do so
The Radio app. is gone
Does anyone has a solution for this?
Iwan

It may sound crazy but sometimes you need to "hard reset" device after firmware update (beware all data erased) by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). Sometimes UDP = User Data Prersevation feature of 5800XM can carry over corrupt entries when updating.

P1i dead after running Update Service - any suggestions

Hi
My P1i appears completly dead after running Update Service. I've tried removing the battery, fully charging the battery etc. When i run Update Service again it just says my phone is up-to-date.
any suggestions?

Unfortunately, in this case, we would only be able to suggest sending the handset for service. Usually when running the Update Service, you should get the option for EXIT but also for INSTALL when you are advised that you have the latest software. If you do not have this, the handset may need to be flashed by an engineer.
If you wish to do this, I'd recommend contacting your local support team to be advised of your nearest service location. Contact details can be found here:

Ovi Maps 3 don´t start after firmware update (6220...

Hello!
a few days ago I installed ovi maps 3 on my nokia 6220c and it works well. Later I updated the firmware from version 03.06 to 05.15.
After firmware update ovi maps don´t start-> "Cannot open application. Install latest version from nokia.com/maps."
But Nokia Map Updater says, there are no updates for my maps.
What´s wrong?
Can I reinstall Ovi Maps 3? Or is it possible to install Ovi Maps 3 new?
thanks

Hello!
The Map Updater said: "there is no update for your phone" ...because maps 3 is already installed.
But in the meantime I have found a solution!!
I downloaded maps 2.0 from the German nokia page and installed it. Later I started Map Updater and could update to Maps 3 and now it works!!!
I think the problem was: I first updated to Maps 3 and later updated the firmware. There was any older version of fixes included in the firmware update, so Maps 3 was damaged...
thanks
sorry for my bad English

My Qosmio F10 is dead after Bios Update

My Qosmio F10 is dead after BIOS update ... it doesn't work anymore .. i update the bios from 1.10 to 1.20
the switch Led is always orange...
what can i do to make it work again ? or return the 1.10 version?

Hi
You can check many postings in this forum about the BIOS upgrade procedure.
Mostly the users damage the notebook because of wrong BIOS or wrong BIOS procedure.
If the notebook is dead after this procedure so it could be a damage motherboard.
In this case only the Toshiba service partner can solve this issue. ;(

MiniDP to VGA Adapter - screen flickering, even after Firmware Update

Hello,
concerning the MiniDP to VGA Adapter, I'm experiencing the same issue many other users are complaining about: When hooked up to my 22" external LCD, the screen goes black from time to time. After 1-2 seconds it's back to normal; still enervating though.
Model:
LG L227 WTP-PF (@1680x1050 + max. colors; only available refresh rate: 59,9 Hz)
MiniDP-VGA Adapter Firmware: 1.03 (current)
Mac OSX 10.5.6
MacBook Pro 15" Unibody (Late '08)
Apple Software Update says I'm up-to-date on the software side. I've read that the low refresh rate could be responsible for this. Only problem: I can't change it in System Preferences/Monitor settings. Other options than 59,9Hz are greyed out.
Any solution to this?
Thanks in advance,
Tobi

I've got almost exactly the same set up, only with a Samsung display, and I too have found that the recent adapter firmware update has not done the trick.
However, since you have a PRO, you are (maybe) in luck. The PRO has two graphics options, the 9400M (which is the same as in the MB) and the 9600M GT. You switch between these by selecting "Higher Performance" or "Better Battery Life" in the Energy Saver System Preferences.
I have found that by selecting "Higher Performance" I do not get the screen blanking at all. It is slightly annoying that when taking my Mac on the move, I have to switch back to "Better Battery Life" (and hence log out) if I want to get the most out of my battery, but it is the only way I have found of ensuring a screen-blanking free experience when sat at my desk using the external display.
Hope this helps.

P.S. I have a LG LCD HD TV too, and don't find I have the problem with either graphics card when using this. I only connect at "something x 768" to the TV, whereas the 22" monitor is "something x 1050", so maybe there is a problem with the 9400M driving higher resolution displays? I presume it can drive Apple's own HD displays ok though....?

TS3499 2007MBP, L-shaped adapter, and a firmware update that didn't work.

My replacement L-shaped adapter worked for a day on my 2007 MacBook Pro, then stopped abruptly. I've tried the SMC reset as well as the firmware update. When I tried the latter, I received an alert that my computer does not need the update.
Please help me! This is driving me crazy. The only answer I can get online is to install the firmware update, but it refuses to install. I'm assuming that means I already have the update. What's the next step for someone in my situation?
I appreciate any help you can give me.

Were you ever able to get a resolution to this? I have an 2007 MBP 17" and bought a new adapter that stopped working after 2 weeks. I bought a brand new one today, it charged the battery to about 90% and then went dead. Now the LEDs won't turn on and it will not charge or power the computer. I think the issue is with the laptop but have no idea what it could be. Has anyone heard of this before or have any ideas on how to troubleshoot/fix this? I've checked the SMC firmware to make sure it is up to date, i've reset the SMC. i've left the adapters unplugged for a few hours....nothing has worked. Please help...

Thunderbolt Display "dead" after firmware upgrade to Version 1.2

Hi,
I just run the Thunderbolt F/W update to 1.2 as offered by the AppStore Update. I have a 2014 MacPro with 2 Displays connected. In good faith I just confirmed to apply the update without much reading the fine print. The F/W update brought the system to a complete standstill. After 2 hours of waiting in the boot screen, I rebooted the system manually (5 secs power button). One of the Thunderbolt displays first just flickered, then decided to completely die. The System report says: unknown device in the Thunderbolt section. The 2nd display hasn't been updated during this procedure.
How can the F/W of the 'dead' display be re-installed? I also tried to connect it to a MacBook pro. Same result. The display is entirely black.
Any help or suggestion is much appreciated. Thanks!

Put me on the list as well.
I've had this TB display for two years and have had no issue with it. Clicked OK on the firmware prompt and now I have a $1000 paperweight/laptop charger.
What I have tried:
Reset SMC and NVRAM on my MBP.
Unplugged the display from power and all peripherals and let it sit for ~24 hours before trying again.
Downloaded the firmware installer from Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update v1.2. It tells me that no thunderbolt display is connected.
So far nothing has produced a result.
System report shows an unknown device on the TB port.
A used logic board for the display is around USD$220 on ebay.
I really wish I had not attempted to install the firmware now.
