Mega Stick 128: Update Firmware The Says Locked

I've got a Mega Stick 128, i got it about 2months ago, i can't return it coz it was a present from my aunty in malaysia and i live in australia. now i recently formated by mistake with the windows formatting program, now it says media error. I went to the MSI website and then updated my firmware on it with the program, it now says LOCKED on the LCD when i turn it on. this then shuts down, i've tried updating the firmware even with both versions. i really annoying, i can't find an answer for this can you?

right lets keep this problem in this thread.
You need to give MSI support 24-92 hours for email replies and maybe longer if support in your country is currently overworked. also please check you have got the right email address at MSI- you need Tech Support not Sales.

Mega Stick 128

Hi!
Last week i bought Mega stick128 MP3 and now I have a few problems with the connection to usb of my computer.
I have Windows XP Professional service Pack 1 with driver USB 2.0 but when I put the stick in the USB and I try to explore my folder all system stop and I to turn off the pen from usb port. I try also with my notebook with Windows2000 and I have not any problem, all is fantastic.
So I decide to install the driver for windows XP from your internet site, but nothing is change. The firmware of the stick is the last one 2.5 European.
Can you help me, I need a special patch or there is a no compatibility between the stick and windows XP professional.
I don’t think that is a problem of the stick because with windows 2000 I haven’t problem, but I don’t think also that is a problem of USB port of my computer because I use another flash stick without a problem.
Last information ,when the stick stop the message on the display in reading!
Please Help me
Thank you.

look, when you make these replies saying "nothing changed" will not help. what did you do, step by step, and what happened when you tried it? so you went to a comp in which the mega stick didn't hang windows. you right click formatted the mega stick "x" drive using fat or fat 16 (i used fat) and not fat 32. did you uncheck the quick format, or did you leave it checked? please explain yourself. how do i know if you understood what i was asking or if i even explained it well enough? either one has to be the case as you are the only one in which this technique has not worked for.

After installing MSI driver, it freezed again

Actually i am having this problem also. Msi mega 256mb mega stick is not compatible with abit mobo NF7-s as i had tried to use it with other computers which is using nf7-s mobo also. But it comes to normal when i plug it into my my housemate computer which is not using nf7-s mobo. I am wondering of how to solve this problem for long long time already. Can anyone tell me how to solve it? Even i had updated the firmware to the newest but the problems still occur.

Backlight died on MSI Mega Stick 128

My backlight stops working!!!!!!! =\
Does anyone else has this problem ???????
i tried formatting it using the ulitlity software which came along, but it doesn't help.

Hi, I have the same problem, I am using the MSI Mega Stick 256 4 months, everything worked fine so far. Suddenly the backlight died, and it cannot be re-enabled. Could it be just a software problem (Is there a firmware upgrade available?) or should I return the product and require replacement?
Thanks.

Mega Stick Radio Problems

Ok, I got the mega stick 256mb. I tried updating the firmware using my comp, however, it didn't work (I think its because I have an nforce2 chipset). Luckily I was able to revive the player with my bro's comp, and now it at least turns on. However, now my radio will only go from 79.5mhz to 90.5 mhz, while before it went from like 89 to 108 and now I cant listen to any stations. Anyone have any idea?

I had exactly the same problem and found out it was a firmware problem.
It has something to do with your Mega Stick being the Japanese version so the FM is 75 to90.5Mhz.
Update your firmware so that FM will receive up to 108Mhz. http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/firmware/frm/spt_frm_ia_list.php
Hope this works for you - It did for me

Mega Stick 511 problem

I've just bought a Mega Stick 511 and right now it's making me want to do this . I'm running Windows Xp (although the manual seems to be for 98se users) and everytime I go to the device manager to look for the driver Player Recovery Device Class, it's not there although this- MSI MS-5511 USB Device- is listed under disk drives. I've downloaded the updated firmware and drivers from the MSI website and I'm following each step but this just keeps throwing me for a loop. I don't think it's a connection problem because the LCD screen on the player shows that it's connected. So if anyone out there has any clue how to fix this and then proceed to tell me how to actually load MP3 files onto it (because even that I'm sure I will stuff up), please please help me.

All,
The problem has been "sorted" for me. After speaking with the very helpful Alick in MSI support, he pointed me to the right firmware for my MS5511 1GB Megastick:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/firmware/frm/spt_frm_ia_detail.php?UID=607
It's the one called "MEGA STICK 511 Firmware" not "MEGA STICK 511 USB2.0 without FM Firmware" (what a horrible website!) and it's version 002.001.009.
Still the annoying 'This device can perform faster' message - but it's connected as USB2.0 full-speed and not USB1.0 slow-speed, meaning you can fill up the 1GB in about 20 minutes, as opposed to several hours.
I compared Alick's results using HD Tach (http://www.simplisoftware.com/Public/index.php?request=HdTach), and got the following results:
1. A USB1.1 device will read at around 0.8 MByte/s
2. My MS5511 device will read at around 0.9 MByte/s (USB2.0 full-speed's theoretical max is around 1.5MByte/s)
3. A USB2.0 high-speed memory-stick will read at around 9.0 MByte/s (USB2.0 high-speed's theoretical max is around 60 MByte/s
4. My (slow) hard disk will read at around 30 Mbyte/s
5. A really good hard disk on a fast PC will read at around 130 MByte/s
The real problem I have is that MSI are marketing their USB2.0 device as if it's a decent speed, whereas it's only slightly faster than USB1.1. It takes me 23 minutes to fill it up, which is way too long.
Anyone else finding their Megastick any faster?
After upgrading my firmware to 3.000.006 I have got the same problem I get the 'This device can perform faster' message' but this was not the case before the firmware upgrade when I had 2.0. Also with the old firmware I did almost filled my stick and I didn't timed it but I think it could take about 10 minutes.
I have the MSI MEGA Stick 511 - Lite, 256M and it has no FM radio. Should I then not use the firmware listed as wothout FM?

Mega stick firmware problem

i had the mega stick 511 with the firmware version 2 and i updated it to version 3 and it stop working. now when i plug it into the pc it won't even detect it or recognize it to undo the updated version 3. what can i do so it will detect it, once it detected it as smp3 device but when i tried to undo the updated version it appeared an error window. what can i do?!?!?!

FINALLY, THE SOLUTION
I have a brand new Megastick 511 USB 2.0 without FM, and I could get version 3.x firmware update done.
My PC config is...
ABit KV8 Pro Motherboard,
512MB kingston RAM,
Athlon64 2800+,
OS Win XP SP2 with every single update released,
but frankly, I don't believe this problem has anything to do with machine configuration, USB or OS issues. It's merely a question of doing the right thing. Of course, I'm assuming your USB is really 2.0 and you downloaded the right firmware and unzipped it to the MS-5511 folder, as stated in the manual.
Ok, folks. After having this very same problem for a few days, I finally figured it out. Yeah, I wanted this playlist feature this bad, and it's worth the price.
Problems were...
1- Device was not recognized as a USB 2.0 device, no matter the USB motherboard drivers were installed;
2- As soon version 3.x firmware updates were done, I got the old 'deadbrick' effect - oh, yeah, no lights or sounds out of the brand new player - which could be reversed with the old firmware, the one supplied with the CD.
What I did to have the playlist feature was...
1- Took the battery OUT;
2- Using the cable supplied, I pressed and held the play/pause button and kept it pressed until procedure was completed;
3- Inserted the cable in a USB;
4- Windows showed the old 'hey, this device could be faster, blah, blah' message - just ignore it, as I did!
5- Go to the MSI MS511 MEGA STICK Update program;
6- This is very important... at this point, it would be nice if the software could recognize the device, but IT DOESN'T! You will get a message saying 'Media state not started' or something like this after quite a while waiting. This mean it won't show your current firmware version! Once again, ignore it!
7- Well, since the 'start' button was there, I clicked on it, AND I WAS AMAZED TO SEE THE UPDATE BEING DONE! Ok, I didn't wanted to format the device, as it was full of good music, but even unchecking the format option, the software keep saying this had to be done in order to upgrade the firmware - a fair price;
8- As all the copying and writing and verifying processes were done, I knew procedure was over, as the new 3.x firmware version was showing, and I could finally copy more tunes into my 511-now-with-playlist device! Only at this point I released the play/pause button.
Now, when I connect the 511 to the PC, Windows continues saying the device could be faster, but the Update software recognizes it immediatly! And for 512MB of stuff, it takes around 12min to transfer - as it did before - just in case you wanted to know.
Enjoy, my friends!

Mega Stick 256 problem

Hi.
Sorry for my bad english.
I'm have a Mega Stick 256 and it didn't work. I ran an update using the update tools to clear the files in the device, but it froze, leaving my stick in a "wrong state".
Now, it don't turn on; and if connect to XP, it detect as "unknow device", so the update tool don't detect too.
How can force to detect it, to run again the update? Or can I make??
Thanks
Germán

It's not a firmware update! because the update tool don't detect the stick (XP shows me as "unknow device").
I need know how force the detection o how force the firmware update.
Thanks
Germán

Mega Stick version?

This may be a stupid question, but how do I check the version of my Mega Stick 128?
I need to know this so that I can check for Firmware upgrades

turn the stick on and press the black tuner button on the side of the stick (where you would normally rotate to change songs/stations). after you see the word "music" then slide that same knob to the left or right until you see "about". press it (not turn or rotate) and that will give you the firmware number and memory availible...

MSI MEGA Stick 1

I just bougth the mega stick and it's something weard with it: some of the names on the songs are not like they should be ,they don't show the first and the last letter on the display.
And another problem is the sound on the mp3 mode , its kinda laggy.
I read about the firmware thing, but it doesn't seem so secure.
So what is the mega stick's problem?
It's all new!!

Hi, I have a problem with the earphones for the Mega Stick, I lost one of the pads for it and was wondering if you guys would have any reccomendations for some new ones of better quality? But the thing i liked about the ones MSI gave me is the feature where you can clip your headphones to the mp3 player. Do you think that any other earphones have this feature as well?
