GT72 MXM module upgrade - GTX970m

Hello again;
Can anybody from MSI confirm if this upgrade will work inside the GT70 2PC Dominator Pro (MS-1763). My main concern is if the included thermal assembly module will fit.
Thanks
Jamie

I totally understand you concern over what modifications need to be made, and how the upgrade will affect system stability.
I recommend updating your system BIOS to MSI latest version first.
http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GT70-2PC-Dominator.html#down-bios&Win7 64
Follow MSI instructions on this page to the T! It does say that you should update to version .10V before version .118! This will prevent you bricking your notebook. MSI updated their BIOS updating procedure in the .10V update. If you fail to have this updated procedure, and attempt to flash a newer version, upon reboot your laptop will be bricked and will be required to be sent into MSI.
Again, FOLLOW THEIR INSTRUCTIONS. There is a PDF guide on how to flash the BIOS at the bottom of the page. Its easy enough, but just follow it.
As to your question if the GT72 upgrade kit would work. Yes, the card will work, no the heatsink will not work. The heatsink is made for a GT72, logic here says that no it will not work as the laptops have different chassis layouts.
If you want to avoid the dremel ....
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-Heatsink-Nvidia-GTX-970m-GTX-980m-MSI-GT780-GT70-MS-1761-MS-1762-MS-1763-/321688321258?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ae61e3cea
This is a GT60/GT70 MSI 970m/980m fully compatible heatsink. This heatsink works in any GT60/70, GX660, GX60, GT683, GT780/783, as they all share the exact same chassis layout and have not changed over the past few years. Buying this stupid expensive heatsink would alleviate the need for any modding/dremeling of your current heatsink. Of course the seller knows this heatsink if sought after, and therefore has a ridiculously inflated price. But this is 100% plug and play.
As far as which driver is stable, not sure what you mean. All of the drivers that support a 970m are stable and compatible. You should not ever have any issues that any other laptop with a 970m doesn't have or any sort of compatibility issues with any games, again, unless its a common problem with all 970m GPUs.
Goodluck and have fun with the upgrade!

Born to Upgrade - GT72 MXM module upgrade

October 7th saw the launch of the GeForce GTX 900M series from NVIDIA. We can without a doubt say that these cards are the best mobile graphics ever, enabling us to produce even better gaming notebooks, such as the GT72. The GT72 is obviously the flagship in the MSI lineup, and by the launch of the 970M/980M, the GT72 lineup was refreshed with these graphics cards. For MSI, this is actually an easy job, because we have chosen to use a modular MXM graphics design, which is the point of this article.
In other words – if you’re lucky enough to already own a GT72, and the type of user who wants the best, one fully understandable reaction to the launch would be “oh no, my system isn’t top of the line anymore.” Normally, to keep up with the evolution and play the latest and greatest games at full-HD resolution at maximum settings, you’d be forced to go out and get a new system at full price – not so with the MSI GT72.
We are now launching an upgrade program for the GT72 – if you own one with a GTX 870M or 880M, you can easily upgrade to the 970M or 980M by just changing the graphics card. This can be done by an MSI service center, or by purchasing a DIY kit, depending on your location. The result is that you no longer have to go through the hassle of changing your full system to get that latest-gen performance boost, saving you money, and efforts to install your games onto an all new system.
Better yet – even if you buy a GT72 with the new GTX 900M series graphics, you’re not missing out on anything. Instead, you will be able to upgrade to the next generation of NVIDIA GPUs in late 2015, making the MSI GT72 a truly upgradable gaming machine.
For more information on the MSI GT72 MXM upgradability and participating partners, see http://event.msi.com/gt72mxm

MXM upgrade is cool. It's better than GPU on board for G751. If VGA is dead, need to change motherboard = cost very high.

Thank you. But I referred to the MSI Upgrade set. As the 980m - according to the video - requires a special type of heatsink.

Error in adapter module Upgrade PI7.11

Hello,
After upgrade from XI3.0 to PI7.11,I am trying to adapt code of an adapter module in order to use it in new version.
I have changed the code ,there were no compilation errors and it was deployed successfully.
But when trying to test the scenario ,I am getting following error:
<code>ADAPTER.JAVA_EXCEPTION</code>
               <text>javax.ejb.EJBException: (Failed in component: sap.com/ValidationModule7.11_EAR) Exception raised from invocation of public com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleData com.sapcons.xi.af.validation.ValidationModuleBean711.process(com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleContext,com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleData) throws com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleException method on bean instance com.sapcons.xi.af.validation.ValidationModuleBean711@4dee79d1 for bean sap.com/ValidationModule7.11_EARxml|ValidationModule7.11_EJB.jarxml|ValidationModuleBean711 in application sap.com/ValidationModule7.11_EAR.; nested exception is: java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.MessageKey.getMessageId() of an object loaded from local variable 'msgKey'
java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.MessageKey.getMessageId() of an object loaded from local variable 'msgKey'
I am nowhere using variable 'msgkey' in my code.
I was using getMessageId() method and because of this error,I have changed the code such that I am not using this method at all.
After this change ,I have deployed the module again,and the strange part is I am still getting the same error.
Just to be sure that I have deployed the changed code,I created an altogether new module ValidationModule7.11_EAR(it was ValidationModule_EAR before) and deployed it,I am sure ,I am not using getMessageId() method at all,but I am getting the same error (as mentioned above).
I have no idea why I am getting the same error.I can see in the error message that my new module is called which doesn't use this method.
Can anyone please suggest apart from saving the Bean after code changes and redeploying the code,what needs to be done.
(Rebuilding the project,etc.)
It would be great if I can get some inputs on this strange behaviour.
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
Shweta

Hello Stefan,
Thanks for your reply.
I have created my new module with a different JNDI name.
Also,I have verified that there is a link to the interface com.sap.aii.af.ifc.facade in application-j2ee-engine.xml .
This was the code which I was trying to adapt:
if((MessageContext)inputModuleData.getPrincipalData() instanceof MessageContext)
                MessageContext messsageContext = (MessageContext)inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
                Message message = messsageContext.getMessage();
                Attachment rootDocument = message.getRootDocument();
                Object data = rootDocument.getData();
                if(data instanceof Binary)
                    Binary bin = (Binary)data;
                    request = bin.getBytes();
                    String messageID = "1232";
                    if(dir == Direction.INBOUND)
                        amk = new AuditMessageKey(messageID, AuditDirection.INBOUND);
                    else
                        amk = new AuditMessageKey(messageID, AuditDirection.OUTBOUND);
But I was getting errors like MessageContext not recognized and also,for the statement:
Attachment rootDocument = message.getRootDocument();
I was getting an error in statement :   if(data instanceof Binary) as following imports weren't recognized.
import com.sap.aii.messaging.lang.Binary;
import com.sap.aii.messaging.mo.*;
So I used import com.sap.aii.af.service.cpa.BinaryData; and following code
Object obj = null;
               Message message = null;
               obj = inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
                          if(obj instanceof BinaryData)
                     message = (Message)obj;
                    BinaryData bin = (BinaryData)obj;
                    request = bin.getData();
                     String messageID = "1232";
                      amk = new MessageKey(messageID, message.getMessageDirection());
Code was compiled correctly and deployed ,but I get this error with getMessageId() when I try to test it.You can see I am not using getMessageId() and msgkey anywhere in the code
Thanks for your help

WLAN Module Upgrade for DV6-7030TX

Hi,
I'm looking at upgrading the Broadcom 4313GN WLAN module that came with my DV6-7030tx and want to replace it with an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 (part number 670691-001 in the service manual).
However, I've seen a number of posts in this forum with possible discrepancies between the part numbers listed in service manuals and the actual part.
For example, when I search for that part (670691-001)on the HP spare parts store, it's listed as "Ralink WLAN Ralink Ripple3 RT5390F_802.11 b/g/n 1x1 PCIe HMC".
Can anyone advise if I'm actually able to upgrade to an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 as per the service manual?
Here's a link for the exact product specs: HP Pavlion DV6-7030TX
Thanks.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Clearly as an Associate Professor with over 2K of Posts your are a smart Fella/Fellie.
However there are also some pretty smart people over at My Digital Life and BIOS-Mods.com and other BIOS related web sites who would disagree with you and also seem to have numerous examples of successful "white list removal/modification" Fixes.
I am personally not advocating the "moding" of your HP BIOS but this "white list" issue is a hot topic on the net and as with many other examples of Hardware Manufacturers throwing down the "gauntlet" to annoyed and often ingenious customers there are not many, if any, examples of the Manufacturers winning these "ha ha you can't mod/hack me" battles.
Ask Nintendo, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, HTC, Huawei ets etc.etc.
HP can not win at this and all they are doing by stopping their paid up customers from updating ONE component of their systems they are just p*&^%$ing people off. Why can we modify our HDD, RAM, Video Card etc but not our WiFi Card??????????
It certainly annoys me that I buy a new 2012 HP Laptop that in WiFi terms is technologically behind my kids local public school. It even annoys me more when I find that I cannot update that ONE $30- $40 WiFi component because HP has placed code in the system BIOS to block any changes THEY do not want me to make. It is MY LAPTOP. I should be able to change what I want to even without consideration of any so called warranty related issues.
In contacting HP about the Pavilion DV6 7002AX they do not even want to know about it. Their attitude is they do not officially sell it. It is sold only through retailers. Nothing to do with HP????? It has got HP all over it!!!!!
If they do not even admit to selling the DV6 7002AX then why are they worried about me changing the "steam driven" WiFI Card they stuck me with?????
HP can not win this, and I do not believe that the extent of the negative feelings from customers and possible future customers out here in the real world is in any way worth the few extra bucks they are making by screwing customers around.
I will continue to look for non HP solution because HP does not offer any.
It is nearly Christmas HP, win a few friends, grow up, and support your customers. Remove the "white lists with new BIOS updates all round.
I wonder how long this post will take to disappear?
still crazy after all these years

ASA SSM IPS module upgrade won't work

Hello all,
I'm trying to upgrade the IPS sig's on an ASA5520 with a SSM IPS module. I'm trying to upgrade the system to 5.1.1 to further upgrade the device with no luck.
I followed these steps provided by Cisco.com:
1. Log in to the ASA.
2. Enter enable mode:
asa# enable
3. Configure the recovery settings for ASA-SSM:
asa (enable)# hw-module module 1 recover configure
NOTE: If you make an error in the recovery configuration, use the
hw-module module 1 recover stop command to stop the system reimaging
and then you can correct the configuration.
4. Specify the TFTP URL for the system image:
Image URL [tftp://0.0.0.0/]:
Example:
Image URL [tftp://0.0.0.0/]: tftp://10.20.30.40/IPS-SSM-K9-sys-1.1-a-5.1-1.img
5. Specify the command and control interface of ASA-SSM:
Port IP Address [0.0.0.0]:
Example:
Port IP Address [0.0.0.0]: 11.21.31.41
6. Leave the VLAN ID at 0.
VLAN ID [0]:
7. Specify the default gateway of the ASA-SSM:
Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]:
Example:
Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]: 11.22.33.44
8. Execute the recovery:
asa# hw-module module 1 recover boot
9. Periodically check the recovery until it is complete.
NOTE: The status reads "Recovery" during recovery and reads "Up" when
reimaging is complete.
AFter #8 it just goes back to the enable prompt. A 'sh module' lists the device as 'recover' and hangs FOREVER.... I tested the TFTP server which the new image resides on, and the TFTP is working fine. I don't see any attempts or downloads from the TFTP server for over an hour.
I opened a Ciscop TAC on this and not receiving alot of help...
Please help!!!:)
Thanks

The recovery using this method can takes upwards of 30 minutes, and in some cases even longer.
How long have you left the SSM in the "recovery" state?
There may be something wrong in the config you entered. when that happens the SSM can go into a continuous reboot cycle trying to do the recovery.
Execute "debug module-boot" on the console of the ASA.
The debug output will show you the ROMMON output of the SSM itself. (The SSM has it's own ROMMON. The recovery boot command sends the settings made during the recover configure command to the SSM's ROMMON).
If the ROMMON is experiencing a problem in trying to download the tftp image you should now see that ROMMON error message.
Some typical problems I have seen:
1) Wrong IP given for the sensor.
2) Wrong IP given for the gateway (the gateway must exist on the same network as the sensor) this problem usually happens when using a non-standard netmasked network.
3) Not having the sensor's command and control port plugged into the right network. The external port of the SSM itself is where the IP is being applied. You need to ensure that the extenral port of the SSM is plugged into the right network for that IP.
4) The tftp server is not reachable from the network where the sensor's command and control port is attached. Some users think that if the ASA itself can reach the tftp server that the SSM will also be able to. This is not always the case. It is best to use a tftp server on the same network as the IP provided to the SSM. Or to test the tftp server from another machine on the same network as the SSM.
5) The file name is wrong. Check the captialization especially.
6) The file is not in the default directory on the tftp server. If the file is in a subdirectory you will need to add that subdirectory to the URL:
tftp://10.20.30.40/subdirectoryname/filename
7) The tftp is timing out.
There are 2 things that can cause this:
a) The tftp server is remote, and it takes too long to download the file. The ROMMON does have limits on the number of retries and per packet timeouts (but they are not user configurable). Try using a tftp server local to the SSM.
b) The switch that the SSM connects to has spanning-tree running and spanning-tree does not complete before the SSM ROMMON times out for the tftp attempt. The tftp attempt happens immediately upon ROMMON startup and link up. But with a switch the switch port may be in a "Listen" or "Learn" state for 40 seconds before the box can actually talk on the network. In some cases the tftp download attempts started as soon as link up, and may timeout even before the spanning-tree completes. To work around this configure "spanning-tree portfast" on the switchport. Spanning-tree will connect the port into the vlan immediately rather than 40 seconds later.
If it was a config problem when configuring the recovery settings, then there is a "recover stop" command on the ASA.
It will stop the reboot cycle from happening.
Let the module come up with the old image.
Then correct your "recover configure" settings, and try the "recover boot" again.
Another alternative:
Stop the recovery "recover stop"
Let it boot into the old image.
If it was a 5.0 version, then you can actually upgrade to 5.1 using the sensor's own CLI "upgrade" command. It is actually the preferred method.
The "recover" from the ASA will wipe the box clean and load a fresh image.
The "upgrade" from the sensor will convert your 5.0 config into a 5.1 config while installing 5.1.
5.1 upgrade file:
IPS-K9-min-5.1-1g.pkg
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ips5
It can be applied through the sensor's CLI upgrade command, or pushed directly through IDM, or applied by CSM.
The "recover" should be limited to disaster recovery. When you can't access the SSM at all, or the files on the SSM have been corrupted.
For normal upgrades you want to use "upgrade" files done through the sensor itelf (CLI, IDM, or CSM).

GT72 Hard Drive Upgrade Question?

I am looking at upgrading the hard drive on my MSI GT72 laptop; which has the availability for me to upgrade. However, for me to do this I will need to void the warranty correct since I have to remove the label that is on the bottom of the unit that is covering one of the screws, correct?

You will not void the warranty by removing the screws for upgrades as long as you don't damage anything in the process. The sticker is there mainly to deter inept idiots from possibly doing something stupid and damaging their rig.
Like I said if you're careful and don't damage anything your good to go.
