Taking apart a Wind Top AE2220

Does anyone know how to take one of these apart? I've never messed with an all in-one pc before, but my fan is running more than normal and I'm pretty sure it could use a good blowing.
Just don't go taking that wrong you pervs.

You would have to do your own new fresh Windows install, with a borrowed Windows disc.

Wind Top AE2220 Hi-Fi problem

Hi all,
I was given a Wind Top AE2220 Hi-Fi from a friend of mine as it wasnt working, he kept the ram and the HDD and i have now put some ram and another HDD in it but when I turn it on I hear the fans whir into life and the blue led comes on at the power switch but then all it does is come up with a whitish screen for about 3 seconds and then goes off but i can still hear the fans whirring and the led remains lit. it does not go to the bios screen or anything. Does anyone know what the solution to getting this running could be?
Thanks in advance

Well ive had the back off of it and I cant find anything that looks like a reset button. it just looks like any other computer inside.
Thanks alot for all your help though, any other ideas, please let me know
It might not be a button. Could just be the usual 3 pins with a jumper over 2 of the pins.

Will the fact that I have opened it up and removed the warranty sticker render the warranty void?
Don't think it will unless you break something (visible damage).

Monitor keeps turning off on Wind-Top AE2220

Hi, I've a Wind-Top All-in-One AE2220, starting this morning I keep getting a black screen when I turn on the computer.
Pressing the LCD on/off at the bottom right corner will occasionally (2 quick presses seems to do it) get the screen to turn on for a brief second, and from that I can see Windows have started completely normally.
What might be the cause of this and is there anyway to fix it?
I've also tried plugging in an external monitor to use temporarily, but the monitor says there was no signal, is there anything I need to press to switch the display to the external monitor?

I have the very similar AE2020 model. The behaviour you are seeing is bad and I suggest exercising your MSI warranty. I had a fairly good experience doing that with mine a few months ago, though my reason was different. Like mine, your MSI AIO video connectors are for input only, not output. It's in your manual, though you have to look hard for the reference.
Bye.

Wind Top AE2211G: panel technology and hard drive replacement?

I'm thinking of buying the Wind Top AE2211G, but I can't find any information about the following two things that are important to me:
What panel technology is used for the monitor? TN, MVA, IPS?
Is the hard drive easily replaceable by myself in case it dies? Can the case be opened easily without losing the warranty?

Taking Apart the MBP Screen?

I would like to check and insure that the camera cable in my MBP's screen is secure. It is non-functional and may be the source of a sleeping problem for my laptop.
All I want to do is look, and if there is some kind of simple, basic disconnection, plug it back in.
Has anyone done this, or know how to get the MBP display module apart?

Nevermind, I see here that taking apart the screen requires taking apart the main computer module as well.

Wind Top AE2020 usb issue

Hi
I'm using a number of these at work connected to a usb device. The usb device has it's own driver and this works perfectly connected to any port on any of our other computers (different models, brands and OSs). Our problem is that the AE2020s often freeze completely when we connect the usb device.
When they do work I've noticed that it can take several seconds before the computer registers that the device has been plugged in or out (going by the sound at least).
While I'm generally ok with computers this is a bit outside my field. I was thinking about updating the Mobo chipset drivers, but I'd love to hear if anyone is familiar with this problem first. Any help would be greatly appreciated
The computers in question are:
MSI Wind Top AE2020
Intel Pentium Dual Core T4500
320 GB HDD
3gb ram
Win7
BIOS v. 02.67
Please let me know if I've left out anything and I'll get the info

The AE2020 uses an nVidia ION chip set and not the usual Intel. That was one of the reasons I bought one. However, because it's not the mainstream Intel, Microsoft and MSI do not update the chip set drivers that often. I suggest going to the nVidia web site and downloading their most recent driver for this chip set. You might want to check Device Manager for the exact model name or use the nVidia automated update facility on their web site.
I have had only good experiences with USB devices on my AE2020. These would be standard devices like a wireless keyboard dongle, a BlueTooth mini-card mounted internally, a slide film scanner and an assortment of USB Flash drives and hard drives. It also sounds that this USB device you speak of is not something I might get at Best Buy. Is the driver for that device designed for Windows 7? You've said it works well with other systems. Are any of these running Windows 7?
Bye.

Msi wind top 1900 easy viewwer

Where is this file? I've searched the hard drive, no luck. There is an instruction manual that came with the computer, but no program that I can find.
Never mind - found it. Warning guys, it does not install automatically with the rest of the software. I'm using AE1900 wind top with vista basic, 2G and 260G HD. Pretty nice machine, but seems very slow. Thanks for your patience with a newby

MSI Easy Viewer did not load on my system either. I finally found it on the CD that comes with the unit and which also includes drivers. The system with Vista works fine. I did follow some of the suggestions found in an on-line article (possibly PC Mag) which discussed 12 things to turn off in Vista to improve performance. I also set power setting to maximize performance, used Advanced System Care Pro to tune/optimize performance and free up available RAM, and inserted a ReadyBoost flash drive into one of the USB ports (definitely helps reduce boot-up times). On-line forums/articles also indicate that performance can be improved further using Windows 7 RC, although I have not yet done so.

MSI Wind Top AG2712 i7-3630QM 1TB 128GB SSD 12GB W8

Hello everybody!
I'm from Poland and my English isn't very well.
I have a question: I have MSI Wind Top AG2712 i7-3630QM 1TB 128GB SSD 12GB W8 and I have gaphic card GTX 670MX. Would i have a NVIDIA GTX 970M on thic AiO PC? Please write back!
Good be!

Hi,
With AiO I guess it's similar to notebooks: it might work, but there are few factors that might have to be changed. For example you would most likely have to modify heatsink for the GPU. Also custom BIOS might also be needed.
As long as these can have their GPUs removed/swapped around. So even if you buy 970M, make sure you will be able to return it in case it don't work.
I would ask MSI as they have all the details about each AiO version and graphics cards, so they should be able to answer this straight away, simple as "Yes or No", as currently on the forum we can only guess whether it will work or not.

MSI Wind Top AE2410 GPU Error ?

Hi there
I recently received a MSI MS-AE321 Wind Top All in one PC. Unfortunately I have this issue when the its powered on, everything is fuzzy
I have opened it up and had a look around for fault, all I can think of is the GPU thats now dead R.I.P
Is there by any chance I can just replace the GPU ? I'm a IT guy, but never worked on these machines before.
I'd appreciate any help on this, as I wish to have this machine running ASAP

Quote
When the machine starts up, its pixel blocks with cyan, yellow and pink buzzing all over the screen.
Could be just a connector or cable issue as well.

Hmmmmmm Board replacement you say ? Is this machine EOL ? - End of Life ? I actually wish to purchase a new board with a external slot for another GPU.]Hmmmmmm Board replacement you say ? Is this machine EOL ? - End of Life ? I actually wish to purchase a new board with a external slot for another GPU.
Which All-in-one is it as MS-AE321 is just the board? Actually if the machine has a integrated GPU there is no such possibility like replacing it with another board with MXM compatibility.

The driver here:
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=654&prod_no=2121
With this info:
Ralink Wireless Lan Driver
Description Driver Version:3.0.17.0
Update Date 2010-10-06
is partially wrong. version is OK but driver itself is dated back to Feb 2010.
Why telling this? Cuz Wind Top can not connect neither via LAN nor WLAN! Thank god the day came to end...
Date "2010-10-06" is the one when this driver is added at msi web.
not the driver date itself
