(Mega 865) CD Player not function in HI-FI Mode

Hi all,
I have been playing some days with all functionality of the Hi.Fi & PC mode, but since tree days, the CD Player in HIFI mode dosen't function, the rest is ok, but the HIFI mode dont change to CD mode and don't open de CD.... In PC mode all is Ok, CD player is open, play, etc....
Anybody knows what's happen, perhaps a BUG introduced in the last version of the BIOS ??
thank's in advance.

  • Flash Player not functioning

    I have a laptop, Windows 7 , running IE 9.0. I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed, but it does not seem to be working. When I try to view video sites like USATODAY, the video does not work - or at least, I cant see anything. When i go to check Version of Flash Player installed, it does not show the movie, instead its just a blank square, or no square actually. But I know that Adobe Flash Player is installed. I understand that IE doesnt need plug-ins and the like. Any suggestions ?

  • N78 Real Player not functioning

    Real Player was working fine until I tried to edit a video that I had taken on the phone. After this Real Player would not play back anything, either recorded on the phone or downloaded. These videos will play elsewhere.
    I have reinstalled the latest firmware but no success.
    Any ideas?

    Reinstall again the latest firmware and after reinstalling try a soft reset.
    Soft reset. In standby dial *#7370# and the phone's security code. Soft reset deletes ALL your phone's data.

  • Mega 865 Pro instant On will not install

    According to the instructions, when I boot from the Instant On CD, I should get an option to install it.  Instead, I see it loading the ISOlinux, then it goes to a White cursor block in the upper right corner and never procedes to the setup screen.  I have a SATA HD 80gb does that matter? I have not installed anything on this harddrive yet IAW the instrucitons.  Perhaps this is a bad CD.
    I tested the CDROM drive by starting a winxp install and it seems to proceed without a problem.

    Ohhh YEAH!!!
    Changing from "Native mode" to "Legacy Mode" are VERY GOOD to do the correct installation of "Instant on"
    BUT, DVD of instant on NOT WORK because it say me bad region code, with original DVD and I'm on italy.
    and is NOT possible change DVD region?!
    BUT, I had Ati radeon 9600 PRO 256Mb AGP and the instant on function don't work (don't run, make error address)
    I need TVout exit and I DON'T want the TV out of MSI because the graphic card in this MEGA 865 is a little smallest. Do you agree?
    If someone can help me is very wellcome.
    BUT, I had -Fly TV DUO DVB-T - TV PCI card and the hardware with instant is not recognised and NOT WORK.
    OK, I know that is not possible but has philips chip
    If someone can help me is very wellcome.
    At the end I want say:

  • Status bar missing in Firefox 6.0, also Real player does not function with updated version, had to switch back to 3.6

    I've installed Firefox 6.0 about 3 times and each time I noticed that the status bar at the bottom of the page was missing. I relied upon the Norton Security "lock icon" which in version 3.6 would appear in the lower right hand corner of the status bar before signing in to websites or making transactions and found it very helpful. It was present in version 3.6 but not in 6.0. When I went back to 3.6 I suddenly had problems with the page freezing up so returned to 6.0 which corrected the problem but was not comfortable without the icon. I contacted Norton and via remote access the tech determined that the problem exists with Firefox's 6.0 version so he reinstalled 3.6 for me. Also I have a paid subscription to Real player Plus and it does not function with 6.0. I'm concerned because it seems you will soon phase out 3.6 and I will be without these functions which are important to me.

    I have a solution! Follow this link and download the older version. When I installed it, everything came back as it was before! Yay! Good luck to you all. And bad move, Mozilla, in not making it clearer what the system requirements were for the update!!!!

  • MEGA 865 Built in Wireless will not install

    I just put together my second MEGA PC (the 865) and everthing works great but the built in 802.11b.  XP Pro will not recoginze the Mini PCI card at all.
    I have installed the drivver fromt he CD and from the website.  If somene has had this problem and successfuly got the Mini PCI wifi to work then please let me know.
    Heck got so frustrated I reinstalled XP pro...as a last resort.

    Thanks for all the replies to the post...it's nice to know people are willing to help.  
    How I solved the problem....I took the @$%# thing out... and left it out.  I connect fine with the 10/100.  and better with a Linksys 802.11g PCI adapter.  No problem with that one and it installed on the the first try.
    For those looking at the MEGA...I have to say I no problems putting together my 651...and it keeps on running without problems.  The 865 has been a little quirky...esspecially when the MSI software is installed.  My suggestion for those looking a good SFF solution go with the 651...I have seen it in Atlanta for $99 bare.  But if you get any MSI product....the boards are good and for the most part reliable...just STAY AWAY FROM THE SOFTWARE THEY BUNDLE...it will cause you grief
    Thanks again for the replies

  • Media Center DVD 'Stutters' on MEGA 865

    Hi
    I am an IT professional, but I am a newcomer to the MEGA series PCs.  I bought a MEGA 865 Delux for a 'computer newbie' friend as payment for a favour, and I am in the process of configuring it all now.  
    Spec is
    MEGA 865 flashed to bios 1.2
    MSI DVD Player DR8-A2 BIOS 1.6
    NO TV CARD (yet)
    Win XP PRO SP2
    512MB RAM
    Celeron 2.0GHz (yes I know, but I had a new one going spare, it'll do for now)
    I have applied ALL latest drivers
    I have applied ALL latest BIOS patches
    Windows XP is fully patched up to SP2
    I am currently running in 1024x764 Truecolour 70Hz mode.
    Everything works great, my friend should be really pleased with it  ... except  
    MEDIA CENTER III !!!  
    Now that was kind of the idea of buying the MEGA PC, my friend could use it with the remote control for DVD, Radio etc etc, but when I play a DVD using the media center it 'stutters', the video and sound are interrupted and it really is unwatchable.
    Looking at the CPU resource is see that it is strained to 100% utilisation.
    If I run the same DVD Movie with PowerDVD (came with the MSI DVD Drive), or even with Windows Media Player, it plays beautifully and the CPU is comfortably down at 40% utilisation.   Unfortunately the remote seems to do nothing for PowerDVD.
    Is anybody finding that the Media Center works great on their system? (if so, what's the secret?)
    Has anybody else encountered similar problems to mine?
    Does anybody know how I could fix the problem so that when I present this great new system to my friend as an expression of my gratitude, it is not 'flawed'?
    Please help if you can, I would like to deliver the system in the next couple of days.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Thanks for the advice everyone.
    After much searching I found the elusive registry changes and applied them to my system.  Unfortunately these changes made no discernable difference to the DVD playback.
    While I appreciate that there are a number of Open Source projects in development (dependant on 'Girder', pay software that still does not appear to FULLY replace the advertised functionality of the Remote/LCD/Radio etc), and also alternative products that I could purchase, I do not feel that I should have to buy these to make my MEGA media center PC play DVDs.  
    It's not as if the inability to play DVDs is a minor issue in a Media Center.  It's fundamental!!
    If it will not work as a media center PC 'as supplied' then it seems to me that I should return it to the retailer and buy a 'Shuttle PC' for much less money.  I could spend the savings (I reckon on about £70) on a better CPU or just pocket the difference.  Features and software that do not work are of little use to anybody.
    With all due respect to you all, if everybody who bought the system and had these problems returned it to the store as 'not fit for purpose' then I suspect MSI would have resolved the issue long ago.  It seems to me that end user tolerance has resulted in MSI's indifference.
    If I have no fix by Thursday then it's back to the store.
    I have mailed MSI Tech Support, hopefully they will come up with something as the system looks great otherwise.
    Still open to suggestions that do not include 'break up the CD' or 'buy this other software'.
    Thanks
    Steve

  • MEGA 865 running Linux

    I'm new to the forum.  Here's the system I ordered from NewEgg:
    MEGA PC 865
    Celeron 2.4 Ghz
    Kingston 512M PC3200
    DVD+-RW MS-8408A
    TV@nywhere MS-8606
    Maxtor 40 GB, 5400 RPM
    I threw all the pieces together, no problem.  Well, the IR cable doesn't plug into the TV card.  I just left it off for now.  There is another post that covers that issue.
    After lurking through the forum, I noticed a couple things.  Everybody is running Windows on MEGA 180s.  There isn't much information about anything else.  Since I want to run Linux on a MEGA 865, I'm starting this thread to share my experience.  I see a few other people have tried this as well, anything you can pass on would be great.
    My first suggestion is to get Knoppix.  You can download the live CD from here:
    http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html
    Burn the ISO image to a CD. (I used version 3.4)
    Reconfigure the MEGA BIOS to boot from CD before the hard drive.
    Boot the disk and you'll get to the KDE desktop.
    This is KDE 3.2.2 with Linux Kernel 2.4.26
    What does the bootup sequence look like?
    hda: maxtor
    hdc: generic DVD RW 8XMax
    memory: 507028 kB
    Processor: Celeron 2395MHz
    ACPI: ac battery button fan processor thermal
    [at this point the fans mercifully drop down to low speed and I can once again hear myself think!]
    USB found
    Firewire found
    Soundcard: Intel 82801EB AC'97 (i810_audio)
    Video: Intel 82865G (XFree86 i810)
    Network device eth0 detected, DHCP started
    Eventually a root prompt will pop up and then the KDE desktop.  Which, I must say, looks fantastic.  This is my first time working with a Linux GUI and I am blown away by not only the kwality of KDE but also by the breadth and depth of the applications included with Knoppix.  Starting with just this one CD, I have a fully functional and useful PC in minutes.  Everybody should try this.
    Where to go from here?
    Press CTRL-ALT-F1 to get back to the root shell where you can type commands.  If you don't see the "root@tty1[/]#" prompt, just press return until it pops up.
    On my system, I see an error "Cannot initialize the agpgart module".  I don't know what that means or why I'm getting it, but it's the only error I can see in the bootup sequence.
    On the net, you will find a lot of people talking about using "knx-hdinstall" to permanently install knoppix to your harddrive so you don't have to boot off the CD everytime.  Well, this script has been renamed to "knoppix-installer".  Just type that at the prompt and you will be lead through all the steps you need to get a permanent installation.  I won't walk through all that here, but ask if you have any questions.  Suffice it to say, my HDD now has several partitions and two Linux installations on it (the other being Gentoo).  I boot using GRUB.
    I have two goals for my MEGA 865.
    First, I want to use it to store my digital photos from SD memory cards.
    Long term, I'd like to use it as a PVR and DVD player in my living room.

    If I boot with an ethernet cable plugged into my router, then Knoppix detects the on-board adapter and properly configures eth0.
    From the root shell, type "ifconfig eth0"
    You'll see the assigned IP address, MAC address, and network statistics.  I can "ping designlab.info" and I get a response in 190 ms.  Your mileage may vary.
    It seems to be important to have the ethernet cable connected when you boot.  If you don't then the eth0 interface will not be configured.
    How about that card reader?
    Make sure it's there:
    grep "^S:" /proc/bus/usb/devices
    I see 5 USB devices on my MEGA 865.  Four of them are "USB UHCI Root Hub".  The other one is "8-in-2" which is the card reader.  If you have other USB devices, they should show up as well.
    Drop an SD card into the front of the MEGA and type
    fdisk -l /dev/sdb
    How did I know it was sdb?  Umm, I don't remember.  Somehow I figured out that sda is some other scsi device.  Anyway, you should see your card listed as "/dev/sdb1"
    mkdir /sdcard
    mount /dev/sdb1 /sdcard -t vfat
    ls /sdcard
    ... and you should see a list of the files on your SD card.  At this point I was pretty happy.  The network is working and the card reader is working.
    You have to have the card in the reader when you type "fdisk".  Otherwise, you won't see the sdb1 partition.
    When you are done using your card:
    umount /sdcard
    The umount is important to make sure any changes you made are actually written to the card before you remove it.  I think you risk corrupting your files if you don't umount before you remove.
    To make this easier in the future, I edited the /etc/fstab file and added the following line:
    /dev/sdb1 /sdcard vfat noauto,users 0 0
    Now I can simply type "mount /sdcard" and "umount /sdcard" without all the "/dev/sdb1 -t vfat" stuff.
    Here's some more good information about using card readers with Linux:

  • SATA Hard Drive no longer recognized by Mega 865

    I recently put together an MSI Mega 865 barebone system with the following specifications:  
    Processor: Intel 3.2c Ghz (Northwood core)
    Hard Drive:  Western Digital SATA 10kRPM Raptor
    Memory: 1 GB (2 x 512MB) Kingston 3200 (400Mhz)
    DVD Player: Plextor 8X DVD RW
    Video Card:  HIS Excalibure 9800Pro 128 MB
    OS:  WinXP
    Finally got everything up and running, and then I went to boot up, and the system can no longer find the SATA harddrive.  In fact, it's not even an option in the BIOS now.  
    My question is the following:  
    Would the SATA be available all of the time, or only if a SATA enabled harddrive was recognized?
    When the system is first powered on by plugging the power cord into the wall, the hard drive makes a small amount of noise, as if it's spinning a bit.  When the computer starts up, there is no noise at all, although the hard drive does get warm (which makes me think there is power to the unit).  
    I tried the 2nd power supply (old IDE) for the hard drive, but that provided that same results as the SATA power supply.
    There were some inconsistencies with my mega 865 prior to this.  First, the HIFI would randomly lock up, and the only way to get it back was to unplug the computer from the wall.  2nd, it had lost communication on the serial port (why, I don't know).  3rd, and final, it doesn't seem to recognize my hard drive (or my hard drive is ruined).
    Can someone help me out here, I'm not sure whether to return my HardDrive, my MSI Mega 865, or both.

    The system worked for 4 days or so.  One day, I started it up, and it couldn't boot because it couldn't detect the SATA drive.  When this happened I decided to flash it to the the latest BIOS, but even this did not help.
    The unit had problems before, it would lock up on initial power up, the HIFI/CD/DVD would not respond (when the computer was not on of course).  I would have to plug and unplug the unit 3 or 4 times before it would power on and not lock up.
    I contacted MSI support, and explained my problems.  They told me to return the unit to the reseller.  I'm not sure if the problem was the unit, the hard drive, or both, so I went ahead and returned the HD and the MSI unit.  It'll be another 2 weeks or so now before I get my computer up and running.  :(

  • Things to know before (and after) building a Mega 865

    As I am seeing a lot of the same questions regarding the Mega 865 I created this document,
    29-Oct-2004 Added Northwood benefits
    29-Oct-2004 Emphasized NOT to use live update for bios update
    Processors in general
    Start with the processor, I would say get something around 3 gighz (give or take) which is quite affordeble. If you are going for a prescott, make sure you upgrade your bios to 1.3 (see below).It will run a bit hot (understatement) otherwise.
    If going for northwood any version is ok I believe. When I chose mine I let $$$ descide, and the prescott was on sale. (If I would buy a CPU for the Mega again, I would most likely go for a Northwood this time). Before buying your processor make sure your processor is supported, you can find the supported processors here;
    http://cweb.msi.com.tw/program/products/slim_pc/slm/pro_slm_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=547&kind=4
    Harddisk
    As for Harddisk, I would suggest anything goes but take a serial ata since that is becoming the new standard nowadays.
    When buying a HD larger than 130 Gig, make sure you install from a Windows XP SP1 CD (or higher) or divide your HD in smaller pieces. Otherwise you will not get a bigger partition than 130 Gigs.
    DVD/CDROM
    As for DVD/CD player, there is a special thread (see below) where everyone states if their DVD/CD player is working with the mega (there are some issues with some drives in HiFi mode, EVEN if they are MSI)
    Mega PC barebones optical drive compatibility list
    Memory
    As for memory, get at least 512 Mb or 1024 Mb if you want to sit cosy. two sticks of DDR400 (a.k.a 3200) will do. Get a a-brand like Kingston, Samsung or look around on the forums what will work.
    Installing Windows XP
    Before installing Windows disable your USB devices, if you fail to do this you run the chance of not installing Windows XP on your C: drive (harddisk) and this will cause you trouble later on. After installation is complete you may enable them again.
    Prescott processors & full size AGP cards
    As for the GPU (Graphics card), this depends on what you are going to do with it. If you wanna try out at showshifting, and viewing get one with integrated TV tuner. Or use the on-board (some people are quite happy with it) and add a separate PCI tv tuner. If you wanna do hefty gaming (Doom3, Far Cry ... etc) you may want to get an better one. I'm quite happy with my Radeon 9800.
    Please note; According to MSI, Prescott processors in combination with full-size AGP (add-in) cards are not supported. This is most likely a power issue since the full-size cards use a lot of power to run. Some forum members, stuborn as they are, are running with a full-size card.
    Also note that you are installing a full-size card on your own risk in combination with a Prescott processor.
    To calculate your estimated power supply take a look here;
    http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/
    The following graphics cards seem to be working (please add to this thread if you have tested a full-size card with a Prescott processor so I can add it to this document)
    Club3D Radeon AIW 9800 PRO
    ATI Radeon ALL-IN-WONDER 9600 XT
    ATI Radeon 9800 SE
    AOPEN Aeolus 5900XT 128 Mb
    Wise words from Stu:
    If you do not want to take chances, go with a Northwood processor. Apperantly there is little perfomance difference between a Northwood and a Prescott processor, and the Northwood runs slightly cooler too.
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 & Bios Update
    When installing Windows XP with SP2 make sure you have the latest Bios version loaded (1.3) or install a Microsoft work-around fix. SP2 will not install without it, and you will have a hard time getting your system to work.
    The Microsoft work-around fix can be found here;

    The latest bios version can be downloaded here;
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=547&kind=4
    To install the latest bios, I would advise against using live-update. Use one of the following options instead;
    1) Burn a bootable CD-Rom also containing the bios and flash software, (note some of the original Win98 CD's are bootable to MS-DOS prompt)
    2) Create a bootable USB-memory key
    --- Download the HP util to create one
    --- http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/hpcpqdt/us/download/20306.html
    --- Then create a bootable floppy on an other system or download from
    --- http://www.allbootdisks.com/
    --- (I used the Win98SE No ramdrive )
    --- Then use the HP tool (on an system with an floppy drive) and enter a: as the source for booting,
    --- and use the above created floppy.
    --- Then copy the rest of the files from the a:\ drive (like autoexec.bat, config.sys etc) to the memory key.
    --- ... and ... voila one bootable USB
    --- make sure in the bios that the boot order of the USB key is before the Harddisk and your set to go.
    3) Attach a floppy drive to the Mega 865
    Bios update failure
    Some people still manage to goof-up their bios, by doing the bios update from windows (winflash, live-update). I think there is only one road to travel when this happens, you have to attach a floppy drive to your mega. Then follow the following instructions (Award bios)

    Good luck !
    PC-Alert
    Do not use the PC-Alert version from the MSI website as this does not work together with your Mega 865, instead only use the one on the CD-Rom that was supplied. In general even the supplied PC-Alert has caused a lot of grief (Taking up resources, reboot problems ... etc). If you choose to install PC-Alert, at least remove it from your start-up folder where it is installed. You can always start it manually from the MSI menu in your Start menu.
    A good alternative to Pc-Alert is Speedfan, this program should be able to spot your 2 temeperature sensored CPU fans. You can then connect these fans to the CPU temperature sensor and be able to tweak the RPM's according to your need. Speedfan 4.17 can be found here;

    Temperatures
    As these tiny PC's have very little space, it is quite normal for them to run a bit hot. Do not be alarmed to see CPU temperatures around 60-65 degrees when running on load (depending on your processor of course).
    Wireless Network adapter
    As for wireless internet, the mega865 has a built-in mini-pci nic (network card). which supports only the 11 Mbps data rate. I think you have to try it out and see how it goes, you can always upgrade to 54 Mbps. I would suggest to get a 54Mbps access point, so you can always upgrade if needed (54Mbps will also work with 11 Mbps) Some forum members have succesfully replaced their Wireless Network adapters with a 54Mbps one. The following network adapters seem to be working;(please add to this thread if you have tested a wireless 54Mbps network adapter so I will add it to this document)

    6 Channel sound
    I recently bought a 5.1 set from Soundblaster. You can connect the 3 connectors to the back of your Mega, then in the Sound util set it up for 5.1 surround sound and you are ready to go. Definately worth it !
    Reboot problems
    When you run into problems when the Mega reboots suddenly, watch out for a couple of things.
    Always check your event/log viewer. It is in your configuration management, but the easiest way to start it is to enter the following in your Run or Command line entry
    eventvwr /s
    Check if you see red-dots in your application section or system section. Google the problems before dropping them on the forum ! (As most problems are not Mega related IMHO)
    One problem I had was caused by BITS 1.5, I had to upgrade to BITS 2.0. (I think it was recently released by Microsoft-Update but I mention it anyway). Bits 1.5 caused my Mega to reboot.
    LCD Display / Sound problems
    If you have any problems where your front LCD display is not working or your on-board sound is 'missing' first try unplugging your mega from the power outlet (so completely powering down) for 2 minutes. If you still have problems, drop them on this forum.
    LCD API ?
    Alas, no external programs are available to 'drive' your LCD display. Nor will MSI release an API/Blue print on how to control it.
    If you find anything missing here or have additional tips, please add them to this thread and I will update this document.
    Good luck with your Mega !

    rkoppen i salute you  
    a truly glorious summing up of the main points asked about the Mega 865 in particular, although many points will invariably refer also to the other Mega series
    if i can add my tuppence worth, anyone considering going for a powerful graphics card can always shy away from the prescott
    i was reading an article just when the prescott core cpus came out and the review basically said that there wasn't really much performance wise between the new prescott and the older Northwood cores.
    obviously newer prescotts have higher clock speeds now (3.2? 3.4??), but surely a 2.8ghz CPU is still going to be powerful enough to play the latest games!! (in conjunction with a top graphics card obviously)
    is the extra temp increase surely worth the extra couple of hundred mhz?
