MSI GT680 Laptop BD Combo firmware update ?

I have an MSI GT680 laptop.
It's a quite nice laptop except for one thing.
The Blu-Ray Combo drive takes a long time to recogise blank DVD media and regularly thinks they are audio discs.
The drive is a TSSTcorpDVDWBD TS-LB23A and other manufacturers have provided firmware updates for this issue.
Does MSI also have a firmware update ?

MSI support have sent me a link to the wrong firmware for my system.
I've told then it's wrong and told them what Blu-Ray combo my notebook came with but there is not response.
My reply to MSI support is:
The download you have provided does not seem to be correct for my notebook.
When I run the executable "DVDRAM_GT40N_ZPO_SL02_1.exe" it gives an error message: "Valid ATAPI device can not be found!!! F/W model is DVDRAM GT40N ."
My notebook is equipped with the Blu-Ray combo drive that TSST WIN INQUIRY 1.03.1 identifies as:
DRIVE: TSSTcorpDVDWBD TS-LB23A TM00
MODEL NAME : TSSTcorpDVDWBD TS-LB23A
VERSION : TM00
OEM Code : TM
See attached image.
Could you please supply the firmware update for this ?
Is anyone here able to help ?
Not happy with MSI support so far.

MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1 messed up my laptop

Software update just told me to install MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1 a few minutes ago, and I followed the directions, having no idea what it was supposed to be doing to my computer. I hit "Shut Down", then held down the power button until I heard the beep. After the beep, the screen stayed black and the LED light just stayed constant. Then I turned the computer off using the start button again, and tried to turn it on. The hard drive or CD drive started to click rhythmically and the computer did nothing. The screen stayed black.
I then tried to restore the previous firmware, but that doesn't work. It said to hold the button until the lights flash fast, then slow, then to insert the restoration CD, which I did. It buzzed like it was going to start up, then did nothing and I got no progress screen. It still just sits there black with that power light on. Anyone got any ideas other that going to a Genius and paying hundreds of dollars?

I followed the EFI instructions exactly as it stated and had a major problem.
Basically my problem was that the EFI did not completely successfully. It left the system in a half updated state. Unfortunately, they had to replace my entire system board. I have Apple Care so it was replaced at no charge. I originally called Apple Support and they had me try the usual things like restoration cd, reset PRAM, reset NVRAM, etc. Nothing worked. I brought it down to my local Apple store but they more or less do the same thing. They had to send it out to be fixed. Sorry, but it sounds like you're in the same boat.

GX70-3CC won't boot windows after vbios firmware update

Hi all,
I just recently updated my bios and vbios firmware using the latest one, but after the vbios firmware update, i turned on my laptop and all I get is a black screen just after the MSI logo and get stuck there. I can still access the bios and recovery feature (F3 key). I even tried booting it in safe mode and it's still the same. I even tried refreshing and resetting my laptop but again, still the same. I followed the instructions correctly regarding updating the bios and vbios. The bios clearly shows that I am using the latest one when I choose system information in bios. As for the vbios, I can't see in the system information which firmware version I am using currently. However, during the vbios update, it just says that I should reboot my laptop to complete the progress. I didn't reboot my laptop as it says in the instructions that I should turn it off, remove AC adapter and battery then put it back and turn it on.

Well, I updated the BIOS first before updating the VBIOS. After I updated the BIOS i just loaded the optimized values in the BIOS then saved it. My laptop still worked normally until I updated the VBIOS.
By the way, how would I know if my laptop originally used AHCI or RAID? I didn't take notice of this before updating the BIOS

MSI GT680 turbo/battery problem after new motherboard

so basically my dc power jack burnt out some components on the previous motherboard (dunno why the dc power jack is connected with the motherboard as you have to open everything up to get to it, kinda stupid imo) so i got a new one and put it in but the laptop wasn't turning on...long story short i gave it to a professional who said that those little strip connectors that connect so many components were damaged and he had to replace them and the laptop worked fine...today i took it off charge for the first time and after a few mins on battery it shut off suddenly even though battery was 100% and there is no indication by the system that is indeed damaged (i contacted the repair guy and he said its probably a faulty battery) and other then that when i turn turbo on, it comes on for about 5 seconds before automatically turning itself off...i've no idea what the problem could be; any suggestions?
could it be that i need to update my bios? (currently E16F2IMS Ver:1.0M)
thanks in advance
p.s on the msi gt680 support page the new bios and ec only have the non win8 version; can't i flash them to my windows 8?

Quote from: darkhawk on 02-October-13, 20:04:01
It does kind of sound like the battery is bad, or else some of the electronics around the battery are.
As far as the BIOS, the 'Win8' and 'Non-Win8' bio's are only in regards to what OS ORIGINALLY came installed on the system. The GT68X series weren't being sold with Windows 8 pre-installed I believe. I would just install the Non-Win8 BIOS's as it shouldn't make any difference for your system.
well the turbo button issue was cos of the new nvidia drivers, just rolled em back and its ok...and ohhh thanks for that ill try flashing them and see if it makes a difference

Phone not working after firmware update for nokia ...

I tried updating my nokia 5800 today when the new firmware was released. i have already updated my other phone including another 5800. But when I updated the firmware of another 5800 (my 5800 through nokia software updater from pc/laptop), after the nokia updater application said that the update was successful, my phone showed the nokia logo with the new firmware version. It's supposed to reboot automatically and continue as normal but after waiting for like 15 minutes, my phone's still not turning on and still showed on the screen that the phone was not connected. That's when I unplugged it off from the USB cable and tried to turn it on, but it will just vibrate for a few seconds and then nothing! It won't turn on or work! I've tried to search on how to fix this problem but to no avail.. please help me.. is my phone going to work again?
Solved!

Attempted Iphone 4 update to latest firmware update "failed"

Ive attempted to update the Iphone to the latest firmware update and it has failed 3 times, the final time it looked as though
it worked but stopped and went into new mode to go-back to Restore to old setting. Now it is locked up and asking me for the admin backup password
and everything I've tried is not working.. Not sure what to do at this point.
The laptop I'm using is a Panasonic CF29 and running Windows XP with SP3 installed.
I'm open to any ideas at this point.
Thanks Artman

Then it's pretty hopeless. Normally the error message remains displayed until you click "OK", so it's surprising that you didn't see it. You can try the shotgun approach; just try a bunch of stuff in the hopes that it will work. But first I suggest trying to update it again, and this time watch it. The following list covers the most common causes of update failures:
Open a Command window and type the command "netsh winsock reset"
Reboot your computer
Disable your antivirus and firewall
Launch iTunes
Connect the phone using a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
When the phone is recognized in iTunes click on it, then click Restore
If the phone is NOT recognized in iTunes, disconnect it, the hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons for exactly 10 seconds until the screen goes black, then release SLEEP but continue holding HOME while you connect the cable and continue holding HOME until iTunes recognizes a phone in recovery mode
If the update completes you are in business
You mentioned being prompted for a backup password. If your backup is encrypted you will need to know the password to complete the restore; if you don't know it you will have to restore as New and manually add your content back. If it is encrypted you really did enter a password for it once, whether you remember doing so or not.

MacBook Pro firmware update after erase & install

Hi,
I just tried to update from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11 with software update last night and got the error message a lot of people have been experiencing, then, got stuck at the apple logo with the never-ending spinning wheel... well... tried repairing disk, permissions, everything, but didn't work...
Now I reinstalled OS X with the dvd that came with my pro (10.4.6) and I noticed that when I run softwarte update, a specific MacBook Pro firmware update and some battery update didn't show up, does that mean I already have it? because it is firmware, the installation of OS X didn't erase it?
And to all those out there stuck at the boot screen, I'm trying the manual combo update (downloading from apple.com) and will tell if this works (thank god I backed up everything!)

Good Morning,
To answer your firmware question, yes. Once applied a firmware update is burned into the chip on the device being updated and is not subject to being removed with an operating system, the only way to change that firmware is to update it with something else.
You should be fine that they aren't showing up because, as you said, you already have them. 

P1102w goes offline / won't accept firmware update

Hi,
I own a HP Laserjet Professional P1102w successfully working on a wireless network.
My main problem is that when the printer goes to sleep, my new laptop sees it as offline until I reboot it.
In attempting to resolve this issue I am now at the stage of updating the printer to the latest firmware. After downloading the firmware update software, turning off the printer, plugging it into my new laptop via USB, and executing the firmware update program I am shown a dialog box with the following message:
"Cannot find a HP LaserJet Professional P1100/P1560/P1600 Series printer installed on this system"
I am now stuck on two fronts fixing my problem.
Please advise?
Thank you,
Richard

Louie,
Currently our newest version is NI-Motion 8.4
You can check what your version of NI-Motion is by going into MAX and expanding the Software tab on the left hand side.
If you have already tried this on multiple computers, then this is leaning towards a hardware fault in the card and you will most likely need to contact your account representative to begin an RMA process.
But before we do that, please reply with your NI-Motion version, and if you have not done so already, please remove the card from your computer and reinstall your NI-Motion software and reboot. Then power down and reinsert the card and attempt to update the firmware again. Before you attempt to initialize in MAX, reboot the system again.
If you encounter the same problem after this, then the card is at fault and needs replacement.

5530 firmware update found but not compatible?

Hi,
the phone is a french 5530 (no fimlock, no netlock, a free phone), a firmware update is found from nokia, i can download it from the phone. Then it restarts the phone, and a white screen appears with the update bar. But then it just restarts and on the home screen the message appears that it is not compatible with my network provider? I really want to update... but how?

I'm having exactly the same problem. I even tried downloading via laptop, but it wont complete the installation.
I am so sick of my phone freezing or switching itself off I have just rang my contract supplier and they are going to arrange to get a new phone sent out. I did ask if I could have a different make of phone as I don't have much confidence in this one, but they will only exchange for the same.
Let's hope a new phone solves the issues!

Can't install os mavericks because don't have macbook air flash storage firmware update 1.1; can't install firmware update because OS is too old (10.7.4)

Hello, I have a Macbook Air, bought May 2012 or so that came with OS 10.7.4 on it. Did not try to upgrade OS until recently. Tried to upgrade to OS Mavericks, however received error message 'Before installing OS X Mavericks this system requires MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1." I then downloaded and attempted to install said Firmware Update 1.1, but received another error message, to wit: "This update requires 10.7.5 or 10.8.5 or later"
Who can help me out the this Catch-22? I thought about first updating to OS 10.8, but apparently that is no longer available?

Hi CursedIn,
If the Firmware update required for Mavericks requires 10.7.5 to install, you may be able to download it directly from the following link:
OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)

Connection attempt to firmware update server was unsuccessful.

I have successfully installed iTunes 10.5 onto my WIndows 7 64 bit laptop. Everything I have tried works, except for one thing.
When I try to install iOS5 onto my iPad 2, I can successfully download the file but shortly after it starts installing, it bombs out and gives an error 3259 and then deletes the iOS5 file so I have to download it again!!!!
I found the Diagnostics thing in iTunes and everything seems fine except the below (normally the activation server is fine when I run the diagnostics, but this time it failed):
Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.
Connection attempt to iPhone activation server was unsuccessful.
The network connection timed out.
Connection attempt to firmware update server was unsuccessful.
The network connection timed out.
Connection attempt to Gracenote server was successful.
I have tried the following:
1. Delete contents in hosts file
2. Deselect the certificate revocation checkbox
3. Checked SSL3.0 and TSL 1.0
4. Turned off my firewall
5. Added the whole Apple domain to the Exclude list on my anitvirus
6. Added all the iTunes/Apple/Bonjour folders in Program Files, Program Files (x386), Local, Local Low, Roaming and iTunes in My Music to the Exclude list on the antivirus
7. Tried to run the diagnostics on a second computer, with the same result
8. Switched my laptop over from my Wi-Fi/ADSL network to my phone hotspot network with the same result
9. There are one or two other things I have tried as well that I can't remember
I have spent about 4 hours searching the internet, changing settings, restarting etc etc etc and I am about to punch a hole in my iPad and go get an Android device
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can somebody tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it

I have found a solution to the iOS5 upgrade that was being stopped by the above connection problem.
1. Unplug your iPad from your computer and plug it back in again
2. A message box will come up that asks if you want to download and install or just download the new iPad firmware.
3. Use the DOWNLOAD only option.
4. Once it has downloaded, click on your Device in iTunes and it should start to install automatically

Firmware updated, now I can´t use Huawei E220 modem

I´m at the end of my tether.
I have an i-mac running OSX 10.4.8 if I remember correctly.
Yesterday (2nd October 2007) my mac downloaded a firmware update.
I let it install the firmware update and then when I tried to get on the net with my Huawei E220 modem it no longer worked.
I deleted the vodafone mobile connect program, used my windows xp laptop (with my Huawei E220 modem) to download the mac installation software for the modem, and re-installed the modem on my mac, but I still have the same problem:
I click on the vodafone mobile connect icon and the icon starts bouncing up and down... but it doesn´t open the programme window, and doesn´t respond - it´s the first crash I´ve ever seen on the Mac. I don´t know a lot about macs and need help with this problem - I even shut the mac down, and turned it on again holding the "on" button in, incase there had been a problem with the firmware. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? please?
MacIgnoramos.

doh! even a pc user probably could have told me how to do this:
1) uninstall vodafone modem program "using the proper uninstall option of the program" - i.e. not simply dragging the icon to the trash can.
2) re-install.
3) sit back, and enjoy the mac again.

TS3499 2007MBP, L-shaped adapter, and a firmware update that didn't work.

My replacement L-shaped adapter worked for a day on my 2007 MacBook Pro, then stopped abruptly. I've tried the SMC reset as well as the firmware update. When I tried the latter, I received an alert that my computer does not need the update.
Please help me! This is driving me crazy. The only answer I can get online is to install the firmware update, but it refuses to install. I'm assuming that means I already have the update. What's the next step for someone in my situation?
I appreciate any help you can give me.

Were you ever able to get a resolution to this? I have an 2007 MBP 17" and bought a new adapter that stopped working after 2 weeks. I bought a brand new one today, it charged the battery to about 90% and then went dead. Now the LEDs won't turn on and it will not charge or power the computer. I think the issue is with the laptop but have no idea what it could be. Has anyone heard of this before or have any ideas on how to troubleshoot/fix this? I've checked the SMC firmware to make sure it is up to date, i've reset the SMC. i've left the adapters unplugged for a few hours....nothing has worked. Please help...

Hi christeag,
The only thing I can identify as an issue is that your Windows Firewall is running and iTunes is not enabled in it, so this may be the source of your issue. Here is an article for you that will help you rectify this situation:
