GT60 2OC Quick Launch Sensor Problem

Hello, my MSI GT60 2OC notebook is having a problem, the Keyboard LED Backlight Switch Quick Launch Sensor is not responding to any key presses and the button is not even lighting up when pressed, so I can't turn off the backlight with the keyboard. Is it possible that the function was left out from the EC firmware? Could it be fixed?
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with all the drivers installed, including the latest version of the SCM and KLM utilities.

Slightly off-topic and Im sorry for that.
darkhawk, you mean to say that installing win 7 on this laptop is not supported and therefore not recommended? I have all sorts of problems with win 8 (see my recent thread) and combined with really hating the UI of win 8 (like ) made me consider actually buying a win 7 version just to get rid of win 8? But that would be a bad idea?
It's not supported so far as we've been told. While drivers are made available, and in most cases everything works fine for the user (in so far as they know), some things just do not work. The above case is the perfect example where some things just do not work.
While the moderators here do have contacts with MSI that we can talk to, there is only so much that we can do to push certain issues. This issue is one of them. We have been told a few details, most of which I outlined above (MSI Engineers believe the EC firmware is working perfectly fine, and all functions of the laptop should work in both Win 7 and Win 8, this goes for both the GT60/GT70 0NX's and 2OX's that came with Windows 8 preinstalled and using the Win8 EC), along with that we should NOT recommend installing the Win7 EC firmware.
This is why I HIGHLY suggest contacting MSI if you are installing Windows 7 on one of these laptops and cannot get the touch buttons functioning properly. I agree that this SHOULD be supported in Windows 7, because like you, some users prefer Windows 7.
(Let me just state that I'm not sure how much of that information I should divulge, and hopefully no one cares that I do)
NOW, I am personally using a GT70 0NE with Windows 8 installed. I don't care for Windows 8, personally. Some aspects are faster, booting is better, and the general responsiveness of the OS is faster.
BUT, the desktop UI is absolutely horrid and reminds me of the days back in Windows 3.1 or earlier. The Metro UI is a complete waste in so far as a laptop or desktop are concerned, especially when it has no touch interface.
I personally use Start8 as my start button replacement. I have set the OS up to act essentially the same as Windows 7 and never get the Metro UI.
In this state, Windows 8 is very usable, it just isn't as 'pretty' as Windows 7 was. In fact, Windows 8 is downright bland compared to Windows 7 in that regard.
That's my personal experiences. Keep in mind that my GT70 0NE was one that came with Windows 7 pre-installed, so I won't have any issues AT ALL with the touch buttons no matter what OS is installed on the laptop.

No WLAN light

Hi all, I have a WRT54G Version 2 router and after turning the power off to do some electrical work around home yesterday, the WLAN light is now not coming on. I have searched these forums and tried all the thing suggested included resetting the router by pressing reset button for 30 sec then turning power off for 30 sec. I have tried going to the 192.168.1.1 web address but it won't open the page. Every time I try and ping it says that it is an unknown host.
I have a network setup between 2 PCs and 2 Macs but haven't had any trouble until now.
Is anyone able to help please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You should try to upgrade your Router's Firmware as it may give you the WLAN Light on your Router...
Download the Firmware from here
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Adjust the Wireless Settings -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -

- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings

Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

WLAN light does not come on - WRT54G

My router timed out while I was updating the firmware and now I can't get to the router's setup page up to reinstall the firmware or do anything else for that matter. All lights come on except for the WLAN light. I've powered down, pressed the reset button etc... All this started because of dropped connections that could not be re-established unless I went through the whole reinstallation process.....
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks

I hope you did not upgrade the firmware wirelessly....

My ipod power button is stuck

The power button on my 6th gen power button stuck. I found out that this is a VERY weak design and has happened to numerous others, some on replacements they've received under their warranty. It's my understanding it's used on the Gen 7 devices as well. Mine is not that old and was not heavily used. I took very good care of it and it has no exterior damage at all. The button just stuck one day. I picked it up and the the button was stuck in the down position. The device will not operate unless plugged into a power supply, which is DEFINITELY not convenient.
I took it to the Apple Store and they were totally uninterested in it, other than i could pay to get it fixed or get some kind of credit for the purchase of another. Personally, with the margins Apple charges for their devices, it's taking borderliine criminal advantage of customers. If it cost 29.95 and it was a year old that's one thing, but these are expensive devices that one should expect to stand up to light use. I'm disappointed in Apple and i'm outta here, as far as every buying another device.
My advice is to steer clear of Apple until they respect their customers a little more.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Apple will most likely exchange it. The one you receive will be refurbished.

Router WRT54GS wlan light turns off randomly

I have a WRT54GS where the wlan light turns off randomly and I cannot connect to it. If I power cycle it everything works again until the light turns off. I have checked the firmware version and it is running 7.50.6 and on the download website the highest version they have available for it is 7.2.06.
I also notice that when I connect to the router wired and go into the web interface at first the web pages paing like they should but after a few minutes they start to paint slower and slower until they finally just timeout and fail to paint.
Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.
Paul

Regarding the Firmware Version : Your Hardware is v7 and you already have the latest firmware Ver 7.50.6, you checked the Firmware for the hardware v7.2, firmware version 7.2.06...Both these Firmware's are totally different do not use the v7.2 firmware version 7.2.06...
You should try to hard reset your router for 30 seconds and then re-configure it...
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

The volume increase button is stuck on my iPod nano (6th Generation) and I can't turn the volume up. Is there a way to fix it?

I have the iPod nano 6th generation, and I have had it since Christmas 2011 so it isn't that old; recently I went to listen to my music and found that the volume increase button is stuck (basically it's like when you press the volume button down to increase the volume, except it is stuck down like that and won't come back up) but it was only stuck about 3/4 of the way down. For about a week this was ok, I just had to press the button harder to make it go down and increase the volume, but now it won't increase the volume at all and it feels and looks as though the button is stuck the whole way in, even when I press the button with some force. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could fix it or if I need to take it to an apple store for them to fix it?!
Sorry if the way I have explained the problem is confusing, it's difficult to explain but it's extremely frustrating.

This happened to me a few weeks ago. Instead of taking it to the Apple store and paying $ the 99 service charge ( I did give Apple 139.00 13 months ago! for this ipod), I saturated the end of a q-tip w/ WD 40 and carfefully rubbed around the perimeter of the power button. I waited a half hour and then cleaned of the excess WD 40. This unstuck my power button. I guess the WD 40 dissovled all the dirt under and around (also the consrtuction of the buttons is done w/ double sided tape-- maybe a design issue) the button. A friend tried isopropyl alcohol w/ great results. Try this before you give Appple any more $$ or get a new ipod. It's been 6 wks. and my button functions perfectly,

My iPod is dead, and it will not charge. Also, my lock button is stuck. What should I do to fix it?

Earlier today, my iPod touch lock button got stuck. That wasn't a problem. Now, it wont charge. I just tired to reset it, and it went off. But now, I can't even turn it back on. What should I do??!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of these:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My on and off button got stuck is there any way to fix it?

I have a Ipod Nano 6th Gen and i was just laying down listening to music when i tried to shuffle it by double clicking and the button got stuck. I just want to know if there is anyway to get it unstuck or will i have to get another one.

I had the same problem with my iPod touch 4th gen.
1. Reset
You can hold the on/off button and the home button at the same time. Don't release until the screen goes black and the apple logo appears. After doing this it should restart your iPod completely.
But depending on the screen problem, this may or may not work.
If the first solution doesn't work, then try this:
2. Restore
You can restore it to factory settings if you sync it with your computer.
If you can do this (sync with your iMac) then when you plug it in, go onto iTunes, and when it reconnizes your device it should have a section on the sidebar that says "iPod touch". Click on that, then click "restore iPod". It may confirm it and you will probably have to enter your Apple ID.
***Beware that with this method, all the data on your iPod will be lost***
If this does not work, and your device is now restored, don't worry, you can get the data back and your iPod will be as normal.
I hope this helps, sorry for any spelling errors, I'm only 13
Happy New Year, and hopefull you can get your iPod fixed!!

What would you like us to do? We can't unstick it for you.
Bring your phone into Apple for replacement.

My iPhone 4 lock button is stuck and Ive had my phone for over a year. What do I do.

My iPhone 4 lock/home button is stuck and I'm out of warranty. How much will it cost to fix the button cause I have no other problems. Or will they cover it because people were saying it's a defect?

I was able to pay someone to replace the button completely for much less than what Apple wanted.
Here's a link to the place I had it done:
http://www.yelp.com/biz/fix-my-phone-sf-san-francisco
I can understand why Apple has a 1 year warranty, but I believe a busted power button constitutes a design flaw and thus is defective (much like the iBook logic board from 2003 we had to sue them over).

If Apple wasnt the biggest and most profitable company in the world, and instead the nice little apple I used to know, I'd have more sympathy.

HT1430 My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck. Pressing down on the sleep/wake button does not give me the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset?

My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck. Pressing the wake/sleep button does not bring up the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset the ipad? Can I remove the battery? and then put it back in?

No the battery is non removable.
Try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

My hold button is stuck. any ideas?

my hold button is stuck in the hold position. and i have no idea why. i have never damaged it.

Hello terielou96,
For this, you should call Apple. 1800 MY APPLE.
See what options they can provide as this is a hardware issue and you device may still be under hardware warranty.
Hope this helps.
