GS70 - Battery Calibration utility does not work (any longer)

Hi folks
Just got myself a brand new GS70 Stealth notebook. I got the pre-installed battery calibration utility to run OK once, but a few days laters it just quickly flashes 2 windows one after the other and is gone / crashed.
Of course it might be something I did (upgraded BIOS, drivers, installed some apps), but I still need to find out what, otherwise it might happen again even after I reset to factory settings.
I scanned all 33 threads of this forum found with the search "battery calibration", and found only one which describes something similar:
  https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165389.0;nowap
However the symptoms are not the same (I have Windows 8 and my other utilities KLM & SCM are working fine), and that thread is too old anyway. So a couple of questions to the community:
1) does anybody experience the same failed start issue, with GS70 or other?
2) can anybody advise on how to debug the battery calibration utility to try and find out where it crashed? (found no logfile)
(note: I also tried to upgrade .NET to 4.5.1 as it seems to be used, no change)
I will eventually contact MSI about this, but I thought that I would ask around first. Thanks for any help...

Okay, just found the answer by myself: The battery calibration utility depends on a service "Micro Star SCM" (MSIService.exe), which I had disabled.
Setting the service start mode to "manual" was enough to solve the problem, the utility starts again.
Hope this can help someone else.

    If you don't know your passcode for iPad, you have to restore your iPad as a new device in iTunes on your computer. 

  • I have recently update my computer to mavericks and my hp c4380 does not scan any longer

    Hello,
    I have recently updated my computer to Maveriks and my HP C4380 does not any longer scan. How can I solve this issue?
    Regards,
    Jacques..

    Thanks. Your suggestion is good but it does not allow me to scan multiple page documents and get a unique pdf file (I get as many files as there are pages in the document). With the HP scan software it was possible to do it but this software does not work any longer with Maveriks. I do hope that this problem will be solved as soon as possible.
    Regards.

  • RAID Utility does not work after Vista upgrade

    Hi,
    I have a Qosmio G30 with 2 HD 120GB each. After I upgraded to Windows Vista from Windows XP, the Toshiba RAID Utility does not work anymore. In WXp it worked OK, but in Vista there is no way I can mirror the HD. That is, the utility itself work, but the button that should say Mirror, or something like that is not shown. I have set the drives to RAID-1 in the BIOS, but no go.
    Is there any way to get the software RAID to work again?

    Hi,
    just a little question: While installing vista, did you installed the RAID-driver at installation time? Maybe this could be the reason why RAID cannot be activated properly.
    Please give some feedback, if you installed the RAID drivers for Vista during the installation..
    Cheers

  • Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

    Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

    cor-el,
    I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
    Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
    Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
    Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.
