Strange as the download was not on this unit's driver/software page, but the newest version I could find was here. It says it's an update, but it is the full version as I was able to install it on a system that did not have this program installed.
To answer your question, it is not necessary to update the Hardware Diagnostics when a hardware component is changed.
Based on this thread, it looks like the specific error you are receiving can be caused by any number or programs. Is Hardware Diagnostics the only one that is exhibiting an issue? The accepted answer in the linked thread is that the profile was at fault and it provided a few suggestion on what to try next. I would start with uninstalling and reinstalling Hardware Diagnostics from the link provided.
If you wanted to, you could use Vision Diagnostics (how to use it is at the bottom of the document) found here. It isn't quite as convenient as other forms as this is a bootable CD and is not executable within Windows. However, it is a more complete diagnostics package in my experience.

X4100 Hardware diag tools with RedHat Linux

Hello,
I would like to know if there are any hardware diagnostic tools(which work) with the x4100 running redhat. So far I noticed that the diag tool that comes with the x4100 does not seem to work or I should say, it runs but does not leave the resulting diag file on the file system.
I have a system that intermittently reboots with no trace as to what might be causing this. message, bootlog, or any these do not show any usefull information.
Thanks!

Hello,
There are many ways :
1st : using the Boot CD diag (give with server)
2nd : download the Boot CD diag (new version -- see on sun download center)
3. using console management
Under linux there are some tools (all is write in "big admin") :
Linux Redhat RHEL 3.0 to 5.0 ship with sysreport, which gathers a large amount of explorer-like information. Sysreport is the method which is requested by the Redhat backline support.
It produces a tar file in /tmp, which can then be sent in to sun support engineer.
Note : Most of the hardware info under Linux is under /proc.
There is a 'linux-explorer' package, not written by Sun, which gathers much the same data but may not be accepted by Redhat Support for further analyzes.

No start, blue screen. Diagnostic tools gives error code BIOME-1. Any suggestions?

Hi,
My system does not start anymore. I use BIOS version 5.43 for my Pavilion 9190. Running Diagnostic tools gives an error code BIOME-1 in the memory test. What to do?
Fred

Since that indicates a memory problem, it would seem that would be where to start. First try to re-seat the memory modules (with the computer turned off). If that does not help, make the Ultimate Boot CD (with another computer) and then boot to it. Run the memory testing routines. MemTest will tell you which module is failing, if you read the results properly as it runs the testing routine.

Adobe Reader 8 won't start in "hand tool" mode

I have Adobe Reader 8.1.3 on Vista Home Premium.
The program will not start in 'hand tool' reading mode, it always starts in 'select tool' mode and I have to change it manually. If I quit reader after switching it to 'hand tool' mode, it does not remember, and next time starts in 'select tool' mode again.
In Edit -> Preferences -> General -> Basic Tools, the only Hand- or Select-tool checkbox that is checked is "Make Hand Tool Read Articles".
Based on a similar question in the Adobe Reader Unix forum (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c055988) I fould all the instances of registry key "aDefaultSelect" that I could (4 of them) and changed their values from "Select" to "Hand".
However this did not solve the problem!
Any help would be much appreciated.

Nevermind, seems to be working now!

Satellite C55-A-1L0 won't start into Windows 8

Hey guys.
I hope you can help me a little.
I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1L0 here and it won't start into Windows 8.
I turn it on, the Toshiba welcoming screen appears, then I get a message on a black screen saying "checking media (fail)" and after a little while "no bootable device. Please restart"
I checked the BiOS and it doesn't seem to see the Hard Disk (says HDD- none) and even in the list of boot order I get a list with the DVD drive with exact name but for HDD not.
I tried to do a recocery with the F12 button and I get the list to choosw from where I want to boot but selecting harddisk doesn't work.
So I thought I'd try a linux live distribution to see where my hard disk is and to save my data (after some settings in the BIOS - boot mode CMS) but I cannot find it there too. (I have a mtab and fstab file, would it help if I posted it in here?)
Is my HDD broken? Can I try something else?
Thanks a lot!

This notebook model is pretty new and I presume with valid warranty so I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
Using diagnostic tools they can check if problem is HDD or HDD controller.
On this virtual way we cannot say for sure what the problem is. In my opinion you should not waste your time because you cannot do much if there is hardware related issue.
Last step you can try is to set BIOS to default settings and check it again.

Adobe Media Encoder CC won't start if flash player plugin is installed

Few days ago I installed windows 8.1 pro on a brand new PC and I was having problem starting AME, clicking on icon simply doesn't sort any effect, the software didn't open. I tried starting it as administrator, deleting \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\, reinstalling any CC program and even using AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool didn't solve the problem.
At the same time, I was having problem with flash player and firefox; it was just crashing at start, for example at the beginning of a youtube video. Even reinstalling the plugin or firefox itself won't resolve the issue. I resolved by disabling protected mode on flash and after that, the plugin works perfectly in firefox.
Going back to the AME problem, after a few tries, I managed to resolve it by doing this:
- uninstall Premiere pro and relative AME
- uninstall Creative Cloud app
- uninstall flash player plugin
- run AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool and clearing ALL the stuff
- install CC app
- install PP and relative AME
- NOT INSTALLING flash player plugin for firefox
Only by doing this, AME starts without any problem. Even after a couple of reboots, it starts nicely.
After that, I tried to reinstall flash player plugin for firefox. Just after install, with firefox still closed, i disabled the protected mode to avoid any crashes. And by this point, AME won't start anymore. By just installing the flash player plugin (without even let it crash once) AME doesn't start. The only thing that worked was to uninstall everything again, use the cleaner tool, reinstall CC and leaving firefox without the flash plugin. At this point AME starts without any problem. I tried again to reinstall flash plugin and voilà, again AME simply can't start.
What should i do to fix this? It sounds so stupid that i have to choose between flash plugin or AME, why they can't live togheter on my system? Maybe i just have to wait for an update (for firefox or flash) and see if it changes anything?
Here are some specs of my system, if it helps:
winows 8.1 pro x64 updated
16gb ram
Intel i7 3820
GeForce GTX 670
latest version of flash, CC and firefox
no plugins installed for any CC software
flash on internet explorer works well

I finally find out how to fix this.
With flash plugin installed and protected mode disabled, I also disabled hardware acceleration in flash plugin options. So I re-enabled protected mode and the plugin worked fine.
After that, I uninstalled everything from adobe, used cleaner tool and than reinstalled all the stuff. Now AME works fine.
Hope this fix will help someone.

EMac won't start; 'bong,' pause, 'click,' and dead

My eMac (Tiger installed) won't start up. It makes the intial 'bong' sound and after a few seconds, there is a click and nothing else happens. The screen remains black, no question mark, nothing. It acted up previously in that, when the space bar was pressed to wake from sleep, it would shut down. It always started up after that, though, until the final time it shut down and we went on vacation for a couple of weeks. When we returned, it would no longer start.
One of my biggest objectives is retrieving certain files on the eMac. I have an old blueberry iMac and an external hard drive, the original eMac disks, the Tiger disks and Tech Tool Deluxe. Any suggestions?

USB 2.0 eMacs had a known hardware fault that is, today, essential fatal due to the expiration of an Apple program to fix it at no cost. The cost of repair without the program is equal to the value of a half-dozen used eMacs assuming a tech can find the parts. So we should decide up front if your eMac is among the affected models.
First use this article to locate your serial number and model variant:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2395
then use the serial number to find your eMac variant in the chart in that article. The hardware fault ONLY affects those with the variant name "eMac (USB 2.0)"
If yours is a "USB 2.0" please see if the serial number falls in these ranges:
G8412xxxxxx- G8520xxxxxx
YM412xxxxxx - YM520xxxxxx
VM440xxxxxx - VM516xxxxxx
If it does, consider Roam's advice to pull the HD and not worry about breaking something. The rest of the computer may have some resellable parts but the logic board cannot be economically repaired today.

IMac won't start up passed the grey screen

Last friday my iMac (late 2006, 24", 2.33 duo core Intel, OS 10.6.8) gave me the spinning beach ball.
Restarting resulted in: first the apple screen with the progress indicator, followed by grey screen..
That was it. It hangs at the grey screen.
I've been busy this weekend testing all kinds of ideas to get my imac to fully start up again.
I checked the RAM, it's fine.
I flushed NVRAM, wild guess, but nothing changed.
Starting up in safe mode doesn't work.
Starting up in recovery mode doesn't work.
On the upside, I was able to start my imac up in Target mode. Using the host computer and Disk Utlity I can see there's nothing wrong with the HD. All the data is still there!, so later today I'll make a copy of the complete HD, hoping/thinking that I won't copy whatever is wrong.
I had Disk Utility repair all the permissions.
I've used the host computer to reinstall the OS on my imac.
But on start up my beloved iMac still won't get passed the grey screen.
I'm thinking something goes wrong before my Mac even gets to the HD. Maybe it's the firmware, but I'm not really sure that firmware matters in this case. And I wouldn't know how to reinstall the latest version of firmware because my imac won't start up from it's disk drive
I'm thinking maybe something could be wrong with the graphic card's RAM, though on start up I can see the apple logo just fine.
I'm not able to start up from CD, I've tried that because I wanted to reinstall my OS (before I figured out how to do that in Target Mode) by putting the OS disk in my imac's own disk drive. Staring up with the C key still gets me the grey screen. Staring up with Option key shows no other option but the HD.
So is there anybody out there who has an idea that could help me further along?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Frank

Hi Jan,
If you have another firewire Mac you can check if the HD of your Mac is OK by connecting them with a firewire cable and use target-mode. That way I found out my HD was just fine.
It also offers you the chance to run a diagnostic program to check if anything else is fine. I used TechTool to do that. But everything checked out fine.
In the end I decided the problem is probably hardware. Some electronic part that broke. Very frustrating that some small transistor or so is keeping me from using my otherwise fine iMac.
I contacted a repairshop that also works for the local Mac retailer. They told me my iMac was concidered 'classic' and therefor it wasn't economically not worth the trouble trying to repair it.
I gave up, took two weeks to mourn the loss of my beloved iMac, and bought a Mac mini.

Judging by your name I'm guessing I could've anwered this in Dutch.

Satellite L30 PSL33E won't start at all - LED flashes six times

Hello,
My poor mother is quite distraught! Her Satellite L30 PSL33E has just died.
It completely shut down and now won't start at all.
Orange light flashes six times when the power button is pressed.
No hard drive, fan, screen or any other noise / activity.
She has tried it without the battery.
Some sort of hardware failure I imagine.
Any ideas what this blink code means?
Thanks in advance,
D.

I dont know what the code means but you can read it; short means 0 and long means 1
Anyway, the error code means that an hardware fault was detected on the motherboard and only the motherboard replacement could help you?
Why?
because is really hard to repair a notebooks motherboard.
Its mostly not possible if you dont have enough knowledge, experience and special tools.
I think either you will contact the ASP in your country and will ask for a fix or you will have to buy a new notebook ;(

Premiere will freeze at loading screen and won't start. Running win7 64bit

Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem here.
I just recently upgraded to CC because I had this issue with the CS 6 versions.
The problem:
Premiere Pro, inDesign, Illustrator and After Effects won't start. They will all get stuck at the loading screen. The weird thing is that Photoshop and Lightroom work without any problems.
I've tried restarting, completely wiping all Adobe Software with the cleaner tool and reinstalling. I've contacted support via chat and the couldn't find a fix. I then looked for weird processes in the task manager and found out that after a while (2-5 minutes) of letting Premiere show a blank loading screen (no "Loading ..." / "Initialising..." etc), suddenly "Loading ImporterPhotoshopProxy.prm" will appear and a process called "PhotoshopServer.exe" will show up in the task manager. If I kill this process then Premiere will start.
Has anyone had similar problems? Can't find anything on Google.
Thanks in advance.

If you had problems with CS6 upgrading to CC or CC2014 will not solve your problems. You must have basic hardware/software problems that only will get worse going to more complex versions. Do you have any third party codec pack installed? You must have rogue processes running. When you start up your system how many processes are running, look at your task manager?
What is your hardware configuration?

Running Windows Vista, upgraded to Firefox 4.0 and it won't start.

Firefox 3.6 ran with no problem. Upgraded to 4.0 and it won't start. Uninstalled Firefox and re-installed 4.0 Still won't start. Doesn't appear in task manager, either, when I try to run it.
Help! I'm using IE this afternoon!!!

That is a Flash site, so make sure that you have the Flash player installed and that Flash is working properly. 
Also make sure that you do not block JavaScript.

Liquid Cooling System diagnostic tools?

QUESTIONS:
Are there any software diagnostics for the Quad G5 LCS?
Can I download and run them myself instead of packing up my desktop and bringing it in to a repair center?
What are normal temperatures for the CPU Core Diodes?
Is there a tool to monitor fan speeds, similar to the tools for monitoring temperature sensors?
SYMPTOMS: CPU fans run much louder than ever before, but still blow cool air out the back. Activity Monitor shows that very little CPU activity is occurring, yet the fans are running higher speeds. Temperature Monitor shows CPU Core Diode temperatures that are lower than the Graphics processor chip. There is a correlation between temp and speed, but the cooling system seem to be overcompensating. Upon rebooting, the fans start out very quiet, like they used to be all the time, then very slowly rise in speed and decibels. Running on Dual CPU (via CHUD) typically runs cooler than Quad CPU mode.
PREVIOUSLY: For three years, this was a very quiet computer. The fans were only audible when the CPUs were obviously tied up near 100%. The exhaust air felt warm, usually, even when the speed was low (now the exhaust seems cooler). EyeTV did recently cause the system to run at high CPU percentages for extended period, which understandably increased the fan noise, but I keep an eye on that now and quit EyeTV whenever it uses too much CPU.
TESTS:
I have booted from the OSX install disc, and the fans are nearly silent in this mode.
I have run the hardware diagnostics that came with the computer, but they run the fans on full and don't seem to test the cooling system.
I have purchased a new main drive and reinstalled 10.4.11 from scratch, and the problem persists (although it does seem to have improved).
Dust was not excessive, but it was very fine, and I have blown some of it out.
In closing, I would like to use some sort of diagnostics to narrow this down, and hopefully determine whether the sensors, liquid coolant, main board controller, or software is bad. I might be able to purchase a replacement LCS, but that would be a waste if it is actually some other system which is failing. I realize that Apple does not typically offer internal diagnostic tools for outside use, but I am highly skilled in electronic design, firmware, and software.

I believe that I've finally solved this. In another topic on this forum, I asked which Apple Service Diagnostic was appropriate for the Quad, and discovered that it's ASD 2.6.3, which took a while to obtain. Strangely, the first Thermal Calibration run did not finish, even after waiting the 10 to 30 minutes that was predicted. I restarted the machine and tested all of the sensors and fans, plus a few systems which seemed related (but I did not take the time to run every test). After this, the Thermal Calibration ran to completion, but failed, claiming that the temperature exceeded the limit, and suggested that I reseat the processor. I actually decided to wait and do that later, and now that I've rebooted my machine it's drastically quieter without any further monkeying around inside.
The loudest fan was running between 2,820 RPM and 3,600 RPM, with another pairs of fans running between 2,350 RPM and 3,100 or 3,200 RPM ... all of them often getting stuck at their maximums sometimes, especially after heavy loads. Now, those fans are at 1,800 RPM to 2,350 RPM, and 1,600 RPM to 2,000 RPM, respectively. Obviously well below the bothersome range! I still have to see what happens when I really exercise the machine, but I can always run the Thermal Calibration again to see if it still fails, assuming I have any more problems, and go from there.
I'm actually quite happy that I did not have to take my machine in, with all the extra worries that entails. I've been a Premier Member of the Apple Developer Connection from time to time over the decades, and have purchased nearly all of my 9 Mac on Hardware Discount, which means I usually got these ASD discs in the mail for free. Unfortunately, I let my membership lapse before I purchased the Quad new after Apple had discontinued it, but while retailers still had stock. Things would have been so much easier if ASD 2.6.3 was already in my collection, but at least now I have it!
