MSI Radio module firmware flashing troubles

Help!!
I've just tried to flash the radio module with the latest software and possibly beacuse the radio was on at the time, the flashing failed and I'm left with a dead radio.   There's no display, backlight or clock and none of the buttons work. I suspect it's just erased the flash.
I've tried to reflash from the file I downloaded but it just fails each time.
Let this be a lesson to you all. Don't upgrade the radio firmware when it's on!!!!  
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this?? Is there a jumper link inside to reset the flash???
Any help is much appreciated!!
Many thanks,
Cybermush

Hi ya,
same happened to me!
Here's what I did:
- Clear the CMOS as described in the manual (Power Off, unplug power, J2 set to 2-3, set to 1-2 again)
- Power on and do BIOS and radio flash upgrade
It works again!!

  • MSI H61MA-E35 bios flashing troubles

    Hi!
    I buy this MOBO and i want to flash it to v2.0 or v2.1 bios. But all the versions downloaded from msi support site are corrupted or something. Both v2 and v2.1 are nonflashable via M-flash and when I tried to flash from DOS via afude238 it says that ROM file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID.
    Excuse me, but msi?

    nope you can prepare the USB stick in some PC,
    then to move the USB stick to the board which you gonna flash and flash it

  • Three or four times a day the radio module in my iphone doesn't responding. Sometimes it happened during a phone conversation, sometimes without any reason during a day.

    I have a problem. I use my iphone4 during one year. I bought it with firmware 4.0.2. Three or four times a day the radio module wasn't responding. Sometimes it happened during a phone conversation, sometimes without any reason during a day. Just I was out of connection for incoming calls. But it happened without any warnings on my iphone. After I have upgraded firmware to 4.1, this problem disappeared (baseband 2.10.04). But a week ago I upgraded firmware to 4.3.3 and my problem appeared again (4.10.01). I changed SIM-card, but it didn't help. How can solve this problem? I want to downgrade baseband to 2.10.04. Are there another solutions?

        Hi ZachBrunelle!
    I'm saddened that your having trouble with your device and you efforts are  greatly appreciated, let's get to the bottom of this! You mentioned your device not having any physical damage, has it been exposed to anytime of water/moisture?

  • MSI Radio?

    Does anyone know what is the latest version of MSI Radio?  I downloaded a version dated April 21 or so and it seems to conflict with Media Center Deluxe 3 and PC Alert 4 (LED display is mixed/scrambled while PA4 is running, and the radio app conflicts with MCD3 for the remote).  Is there a version out there that works ok on the Mega 180 and doesn't conflict with either of the other two programs?

    Ok, so I found my bluebird bios information(thx Stu.online for the tip) in the "Radio Webupdate" application, but I am not sure if this is even correct because when the application starts it displays:
    Application Initiation - "It will take about 1 min to check the system information"
    Then another window states:
    Radio Webupdate cannot find the Radio module's information!
    Radio Webupdate will load the default setting for your Radio module.
    Then the app starts with:
    Motherboard model: 6796
    Radio Module: Bluebird
    Firmware version: A10C
    Firmware OEM No: General Type
    Countty Code: 5
    WebUpdate version: 1.11
    MSIRadio version: 1.00.61
    The only thing I know that is correct is the MSI Radio version, which is: 1.00.61
    I don't know where I got 1.00.01, from CD I guess.
    Same for everyone? Are we the only ones listening to radio?

  • User guide: MSI HQ USB BIOS Flash Tool

    Guide based on USB tool v1.17c
    HOW TO properly use the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool to update your BIOS
    This user guide provides a step-by-step explanation for properly using the >>MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool<< to prepare a USB Flash Drive for a safe BIOS-Flash in a pure DOS Environment. The tool itself will not perform the actual flashing operation.  It will "only" help you to get your USB Stick set up for an automated DOS flashing procedure which requires final confirmation.  (If you should run into any problems before you are prompted for final confirmation in DOS, no attempt to flash has been made yet and there is no danger of a bad flash.)
    NOTE: If you are having problems getting your USB device to boot correctly, you may need to format it correctly as the geometry data may be incorrect. You can do that by pickup option "Fix My USB key" from the Tool or by using >>> THIS <<< tool here! For future usage you can skip this step, it need to be done only once if your stick need adjustment.
    Symptoms that your USB key need a fix after booting from the USB key:
    * Error: "No bootable partition in table"
    * Blinking cursor in a top left corner and nothing happens
    * "RIVER2 MSI"
    * "Error loading operating system"
    * "Missing operating system"
    * "Disk in drive is not a bootable"
    * Booting from selected USB key is IGNORED, the other/typical OS continue to load as usual
    If still no change after using "Fix My USB key" Tool's option or HP Formatter Tool as alternative.
    Then try with different USB key, the issue is there.
    Note: Those USB keys who support "U3 Smart", this "feature" must be removed before proceed.
    Refer to followed link: http://u3.sandisk.com/launchpadremoval.htm
    Read the three notes that follow first before you move on:
    1. Note: Before you even think about flashing a different BIOS, be sure that your system is stable. If it is not stable, make it stable first. (Read >>here<<.)
    2. Note: Make sure your system meets the preconditions and system requirements mentioned below before you attempt to use the tool.
    3. Note: Do know that flashing your BIOS, be it with the help of the tool or otherwise, is done at your own risk.

    7. Version History
    0. Preconditions & System Requirements
    The main precondition for using the tool is a working & healthy Windows installation on the system that needs the BIOS flash.  The Tool is designed to work with MSI Retail Boards & Laptops only.
    Please note mainboards of other brands and OEM boards that are manufactured by MSI but sold by Medion, HP, NEC and others are not supported. If you have an OEM board that needs a BIOS update read this topic: >>OEM boards manufactured by MSI<<
    Supported Operating Systems: All current Windows Versions (32bit & 64bit, any service pack (SP)): Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
    The second requirement is that you have a fully functional USB Flash Drive that uses the FAT file system (FAT/FAT32).  NTFS is not supported. If your USB Flash Drive is using the NTFS File System, reformat it to FAT or FAT32.
    As the tool also provides a Live Update Option ("SureHands"), you'll need a working internet connection if you want to choose this method. Not all boards are supported at this point.*
    * Check section 3.3 of this guide to see if your board is currently supported by the SureHands feature.
    1. Basic Description of Functionality
    The MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool will help you to easily prepare an USB flash drive for an automated BIOS flash in a pure DOS environment, which is the safest way to perform such a procedure. The tool will also allow you to run MemTest86+ in a pure DOS environment. However, the preparation of your USB Stick is done in Windows and basically includes two steps:
    (1) The device will be made bootable.
    (2) All necessary files (incl. BIOS file, actual flasher and MemTest86+ executable) and all DOS commands that are needed to flash/test memory will automatically be implemented.
    Because the tool does not reformat your USB Flash Drive*, no files that may currently be on the stick will be lost during the procedure.  Just make sure that there is still some free drive space, otherwise there will not be enough room for the files that are needed for BIOS Flashing.
    * Excluding the Geometry Change method which will destroy all data on the USB storage device.
    2. Installing/Starting the tool
    Treat the forum's USB Flashing Tool like a regular application.  Download it to and run it from your hard drive, there is no need to copy & start it from the USB Flash Drive that you want to use for flashing.  Both, the installer version and the stand-alone version, do precisely the same job.  Which of the two versions you use, is solely up to you and your preferences.  The stand-alone version can be started directly by clicking on the executable file.  The installer version will perform an installation and provide you with an entry in your start menu and a desktop shortcut to start the tool.
    When you start the tool a DOS box should open up to provide you with status messages and prompts.  Do not close that box unless you want to abort the preparation procedure!
    Please ensure that you connect the USB flash drive you wish to use before starting the Tool!
    NOTE: If you do not connect your USB storage device before starting the tool, or the tool doesn't detect it. You can still insert the drive letter, as the tool will continue as normal.
    The tool will first check, if an MSI mainboard is installed in your system and show you its model name and PCB Version in a message box. Click >OK< to continue to choose the tool's preparation method that you want to use to prepare your USB Flash Drive.
    3. Choosing a Preparation Method
    If your MSI Retail Board is properly detected and you have pressed the >OK< button in the message box, an option box will pop up that allows you to choose between three different operating modes.  The options you can choose from are more or less self-explanatory, however, read the detailed description if you are unsure how to proceed at this point:
    3.1. Method 1: Processing a BIOS Archive Directly (ZIP/RAR)
    Official MSI BIOS-Updates that can be downloaded from the product site of your board model do usually come as .ZIP or .RAR archives that contain the actual BIOS File and the corresponding AWARD or AMI flashing utility (depending on the BIOS Type of your board).  If you have downloaded such an archive, you should choose the first method from the option box. 
    You do not need to extract the files from the BIOS archive.  The tool will ask you to point it to the archive you downloaded and automatically extract the BIOS File and the AMI or AWARD flashing utility and put it them on your USB Flash Drive.  You don't have to worry about anything else.  All you have to do is to remember where you saved the ZIP or RAR file you downloaded:
    3.2. Method 2: Processing a BIOS File Directly
    If you do not have a ZIP or RAR archive that already contains a BIOS File and the proper flashing utitility, but only the plain unpacked BIOS File, choose the second Method from the option box.  In most cases BETA BIOS Files supplied by MSI Support or shared here in the Forum do not come with the proper flashing utility.  If the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool is told to process a plain BIOS File, it will automatically check the type of BIOS File (AMI or AWARD) and then select the proper flashing utility that needs to be used.  All you need to do is point the tool to the BIOS-File that is supposed to be flashed:
    3.3. Method 3: SureHands Live Update
    "SureHands Live Update" is the third operation method you can choose from the option box.  It provides a much safer and more reliable alternative to MSI Live Update as the actual BIOS Flash is performed in a pure DOS environment as well.  If you decide to use this option, you do not to supply the tool with a BIOS-Archive or a BIOS-File.
    Not all MSI Retail Boards are currently supported.  With every update of the USB Flashing Tool more boards will be added.  At present, you can use the "SureHands" Live Update method with the following boards only (the list will be updated regularly):

    After selecting "SureHands" from the option box, the tool will automatically check for all available official BIOS-Versions for your mainboard.  It will also look for the latest available BETA BIOS Version for you board and save that information in a TXT-File on your Desktop:
    Note: The SureHands option will not provide you with the latest BETA BIOS, it will only provide the information.
    When the tool is done scanning for official BIOS releases for your board, it will give you the possibility to manually choose the BIOS Version you want to flash.  SureHands Live Update will not automatically select the latest version and use it for flashing, it will give you the chance of choosing between all available official BIOS releases that are available:
    Note that the "May not exist" comment that appears behind some versions does not mean that the BIOS does not exist.  If you know the latest BIOS for your board is e.g. v1.8, SureHands will retrieve it even though there may be such a comment.  That message is part of a prediction feature that tries to determine future BIOS Releases.  If a BIOS version that was predicted by the SureHands feature is not available yet, the tool will tell you if it cannot retrieve the files and ask you to select an earlier version.
    3.4 Geometry Change
    If the tool fails to make your USB storage device bootable then you will need to use this mode. It will make your drive bootable, select it:
    Select your drive then let the tool do it's business.
    Once the process is complete, run the tool again via method 1, 2 or 3, restart your computer and try booting from the USB storage device again.
    NOTE: This method will destroy ALL data on the USB storage device!
    NOTE: This method is available in v1.17 and beyond.
    4. Selecting the USB Flash Drive for preparation
    When you have chosen one of the three methods from the option list and pointed the tool at the corresponding archive, BIOS File or selected the desired BIOS Version from the list in case you chose to use SureHands Live Update, the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool will prompt you to enter the drive letter of the USB Flash Drive you want to use for flashing:
    Note that certain drive letters are reserved and will therefore not be accepted by the tool (currently A:, B: and C:). If you are sure you have connected an USB Flash Drive to the system that works properly but it does not appear in the table that appears in the DOS box, enter the corresponding drive letter anyway and see if the tool accepts it.  This can happen in rare cases, but it is usually no problem.
    The tool will check the selected drive and will provide you with status messages.  If everything is okay, the message should look like this:
    The tool will attempt to make the device bootable and automatically write all files that are needed for flashing to the drive to prepare it for flashing.  If the procedure was successful, you will get the following message in the DOS box:
    5. BIOS-Settings, Booting & Flashing
    If the Tool has prepared your drive for booting & flashing, no BIOS flash attempt has been made yet. Only the preparation process. In order to initiate the flashing procedure, you have to restart your system and make it boot from the USB Flash drive. Before you move on to do that, enter the BIOS Setup and check a few options:
    5.1. BIOS Settings to Check
    Check USB-related Options in BIOS:
    - USB Controller
    - USB 2.0 Controller
    - USB Legacy Support
    - USB Storage Support
    - Boot from other devices
    - etc.
    Not all of these options may be found in BIOS and the precise name may vary as well.  Just make sure you checked for such options and that they are enabled (if present).
    Another option you should check for is "Boot Sector Protection".  If such an option is present in your BIOS, make sure it is disabled because it may make a BIOS Flash impossible.
    @all Overclockers: In case your system is currently overclocked, make sure you roll back to default clock and voltage settings before you attempt to start the flashing procedure. Otherwise you increase the risk of an unsuccesful flash, and you most probably don't want something like that to happen.
    5.2. Booting from USB Flash Drive
    To boot from your USB drive you can either change the boot sequence in BIOS accordingly or just press F11 during POST* to get access to the BIOS Boot Menu.  From here, you can select you drive directly without having to adjust the boot sequence in BIOS.  Note that your USB Flash Drive may be listed as a hard drive (if you choose that entry you will get another list to choose from).
    * Not all mainboards use F11, for the boot menu. If F11 fails for you, please consult your manual for the correct key.
    Note: If you have problems booting from your drive, look at the FAQ-Section of this guide and see if any of the tips resolve the issue.
    5.3. Flashing Procedure/Running MemTest86+
    As soon as the system boots from the drive, DOS will be loaded and you will be displayed with two options. One option will start MemTest86+, the other will begin the flashing procedure. If no choice is made, MemTest86+ will automatically start.
    The flashing procedure will automatically be initiated from there.  You will see status messages on the screen that will supply you with information and also prompt you for final confirmation for the actual BIOS-Flash.  A backup of you current BIOS will automatically be saved to a file on the drive (backup.bin) before the flashing actually starts.  You do not need to enter any commands in DOS.  All you have to do is acknowledge the information on the screen by pressing a key.
    The flash itself will only take a couple of seconds (20-30s at the most).  If the flashing is successfully completed, shutdown the system and clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU.  Read the >>Clear CMOS Guide<< for further information. 
    After clearing CMOS you have completed the BIOS-Flash.

    Details:
    Easy to show machine information on request, instead write down from the screen manually, now just copy/paste can be used from MSIHQ_INFO.TXT
    User can check and compare information before and after the BIOS update
    Also usefull if didn't remember what was his original BIOS or EC versions before the update, Tool will auto store it there.
    And easy can be checked if needs. E.g Tool's log file of each Tool's execution, each report will include date and time as well.
    F.A.Q example:
    Q: I flashed BIOS on my notebook and now it doesn't work properly.. And i don't remember what was my old BIOS version.. What can i do?
    A: Take a look in MSIHQ_INFO.TXT at your desktop, there is auto recorded your detailed information about your notebook before the BIOS update.
    So you can easy find what was your original BIOS & EC versions.
    Is it OEM one or not, and the exact original BIOS & EC versions.
    So you can roll back easy or if crossflashing were done to reflash to correct versions.
    Example question:[this board now use 4.xx bios, but don't have time to make a new images.]
    It's just example, do not mean that this BIOS used in the example is bad. But generally often can need to roll back to older version.
    Or to use Sure Hands because[The BIOS is N/A for manual download, By SureHands no need to browse/search/download and point to the BIOS version, also eliminate any chances to pickup the wrong BIOS, and not at last its more quickly[save a time]]
    Q: I flashed my BIOS via MSI Live Update, but the new BIOS has an issues.
        How i can roll back to my old BIOS version?
        The MSI LiveUpdate can only update to the latest BIOS version, which is not good for me.
        And i can't download my old BIOS version manually... Because "This BIOS can only update via Live Update function"
        http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1739
        How i can re-flash to my original BIOS version and from where can i get it?
    A: Run >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<,
    then choose Mode 3 [Live Update{aka SureHands}]:

    Hi MSI,
    I have a problem. I have bought a new processor: AMD Phenom II x545. I looked on the support page of my MB (MSI K9A2 CF) and there the CPU is supported from the bios version 1.A. So I wanted to flash the Bios the the newest version (1.A). I used the MSI live update 4 program to flash it via windows mode. But everytime it boots it writes "CMOS checksum BAD", then I hit F1 to Bios and I see the version of my BIOS fell to the oldest version 1.1. Then I tried to flash it thru Flash disc (with boot files) and dos mod. The result is the same. I can flash my MB to version 1.8 but when I try the 1.A it wont flash it and my Bios fell to the oldest version (1.1). I realised that the exe files in version 1.1-1.8 are the same (afud412.exe) but the exe file in 1.A is different (afud4310.exe).
    My questions are:
    1) How to flash my MB to the version 1.A ?
    2) Is version 1.A really needed for AMD Phenom II x545? I guess yes, because CPU was avaible in July 2009 and the bios 1.A went out in June 2009. I am able to flash it only to version 1.8 (december 2008).
    Thank you for any help!!
    EDIT: After reading this topic: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129204.0 I realised I have the VERSION 1 of this board (I purchased it right after the launch of the MB (November 2007). It means it doesnt support CPU over 95W, but my Phenpom II x545 has only 80W. I still cant update Bios to the 1.A version.
    So my third question is:
    3) Is the Bios update 1.A only for version 2 of this MB?
    Thx for replies!

    A CMOS Checksum error is normal and expected after a BIOS Flash and/or a CMOS Clear.  The fact that this message appears, shows, that there was actually something programmed to the chip.
    If you haven't done that yet, please clear CMOS with the main A/C power cable removed from your PSU and load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS Setup.
    The BIOS Version should be shown on the POST Status Screen and there should be a date behind it.  Please check the BIOS Date and write it down:
    Are you absolutely and entirely sure that what you see is "1.1" and not "1.10"?  Because v1.A0 is actually just the hexadecimal notation for v1."10" (one dot ten).  The hexadecimal notation is only used in the BIOS File Ending.  Once flashed, the BIOS will not identify itself in hexadecimal notation but in decimal code (which means you will never see "v1.A0" after the flash but "v1.10" instead.
    Here is a piece of well-meant advice for now and the future:  MSI Live Update should be avoided under all circumstances when it comes to BIOS Updates and/or information retrieval regarding your current BIOS Version.  Why?  Because this tool is stupid and one of there most risky applications for performing a BIOS Flash.  Please uninstall it completely.
    Why do I call it stupid?  I call it stupid because it does not differentiate between hexadecimal notation and decimal notation.  It will show you that "v1.A0" is available.  The it will flash it, if you allow it to do so.  Of course, a v1.A0 Version will always come out as "v1.10" (one dot ten).  When you re-run MSI Live Update it will not recognize that v1.A0=v1.10 and tell you again that there is a newer version available (1.A0, which, again, is the same as v1.10, which was just properly flashed).
    I believe that the update went just fine, that you are currently using v1.A0=v1.10 and that MSI Live Update is actually just creating a pseudo-problem which is currently confusing you.  The pseudo-problem will immediately be out of the world, if you uninstall MSI Live Update and rely on the BIOS ID String as it appears on the POST Status Screen (this includes the date shown there).
    If a BIOS Update should ever be necessary again, please make sure that you won't use MSI Live Update but >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< instead.

    Thank you for the quick reply!!
    Thats exactly what I have JUST found in this post by Svet: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=127672.msg974800#msg974800
    Yes it is 1.10 of course!! I didnt know that 1.10 = 1.A0 ! Thank you for the reply. Then the MSI live update 4 program is dump that he wanted from me another update of Bios.
    So thank you! Problem is solved. 
    Edit: Yes, because of MSI live update I learned how to flash bios via flash disc. :-) But I was still confused by that 1.10 and of course by program saying me I should update again.. :-P

    I had the same problem with 1.90 bios, so i updated to 1A, i just want to know why Bios Version says: v.1.10 instead v.1A?

    My computer does not have a floppy drive.  How do I update the BIOS?  (I tried the online utility 3 times.  It always updates the BIOS "successfully" and when I restart my PC, I have to do either F1 to config or F2 to load setup defaults.  So it looks like it's working, but the online update says that I have versions H.10 and version H.A0 is available (or maybe the other way around).  So either the BIOS is getting updated, but the online tool is not recognizing this or it's not getting updated.  Either way, I would like to manually flash it in DOS.  Is it safe to burn the setup files to CD and boot from CD into DOS?
    That's the same BIOS version... Just the "MSI Live Updater" is not very smart...
    H.A=H.10=17.A=17.10 [A=10, H=17], the last "0" suffix in H.A0 means its official version.

    So ignore this MSI Live Updater's no sense, and stop flashing your BIOS. You already have the latest version installed.
    The Tool now will detect and shows BIOS versions alias when the MSI BIOS version is known with more than one name.
    So no more flashing and flashing and flashing to the same version because of MSI LiveUpdate suggest again BIOS update...
    Also no more confusion:
    "What's my BIOS version?" -> I flashed my BIOS to 1.A0 [A7520IMS.1A0], but BIOS says its 1.10
    And MSI Live Update also says that i have 1.10 and 1.A0 is available and i should update it. I flashed it again, but its still 1.10?
    What's going on?
    Just run the MSIHQ USB Flash Tool and will show you all that you need to know
    Examples[with real/accurate info]:
    MSI Eclipse:
    BIOS version 1.9:
    BIOS version 1.10:[Tool now shows both BIOS versions alias]

    * Internal BIOS recovery:
     - In a failure case Tool perform auto flash recovery [3 attempts, check for success after each and stop flashing if successful] before give control to BK_IO2, notice users about results and give control for manual attempts[if need]. [This a case if system isn't lockup/reboot, if bad flash occur]
     - This mode also have own store up to 5 backups[+1, the last saved copy is always backup.bin, if there was older one they become backup1.bin .. till 5]
    * BIOS backup stored as AMIBOOT.ROM [AMI BIOS only] [Auto clean up older if there is any, before take a new backup to avoid recovery confusion]
    * BIOS backup detected and stored for M-Flash style boot/recovery [AMI BIOS only] [Auto clean up older if there is any, before take a new backup to avoid recovery confusion]

  • After AMD X2 3800 upgrade MSI Radio causes stop error

    Hi!
    First of all sorry for by bad English
    I have an MSI TV Anywhere master card for about two years now.
    Until now it was running fine, using the updated drivers from MSI's site
    This include the main driver, and the new WinDVR 3.0 and the updated MSI Radio
    With these AMD vs Intel price wars, I've upgraded my Athlon Winchester 3000+ to a X2 3800+
    The CPU is running fine
    However, MSI radio immedialy gives a BSOD since I have changed the CPU
    I have even got as far as reinstalling XP SP2 from scratch, and it still BSOD's :(
    I get
    STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
    How do I solve it?
    Any other users having trouble with TV Anwhere Master with an AMD X2
    CPU has run for several hours PRIME 95 and some heavy games with no crashes whatsoever
    Just click on MSI radio and the mouse cursor wil freeze, followed by a BSOD and a reboot
    Every time this happend
    The only time when I could lauch MSI radio was when I booted Windows XP in safe mode
    Thx in advance
    Steven
    System specs:
    CPU AMD X2 3800 Socket 939
    RAM 1Gb DDR400
    Mobo Asus A8V Deluxe rev2 bios 1018, latest version
    2x HDD WD Raptor 740 and Maxtor Diamondmax 10 250

    PCI stuff:
    SCSI Controller for scanner
    TV Anywhere Master
    Opti USB card
    DVD, CDRW, and CDROM drive

    Hi Stu!
    Followed you advice, I looked a little more at the processor AMD procesor driver program
    I already had installed the latest version, but it crashed too :(
    However you suggestion had led my to try this:
    * Removed the normal AMD processor driver
    * Installed the AMD Fix for dual core processors from the AMD site
    It worked!! Now MSI radio no more crashes!
    knock on wood
    I'll report back when there are errors
    This is the page I got the utility from:
    http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html
    It's the first tool listed
    From the desc:
    "The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction"
    Hope this helps anyone who has an AMD X2 an has similar problems
    Actually, with the new drivers from MSI I'm quite happy with my TV Anywhere Master
    Greetings & thanks everyone

  • Which Aironet 1252 radio module(s)

    I was going to use an Aironet 1252 access point to set up a wireless network and was wondering which radio module (or modules) to get. I have no need for backwards compatibility, so it seems that for best performance I should go with a pure 802.11n network. In order to achieve that goal, is one radio module sufficient? And which band would be best? Or is there any advantage (or disadvantage to getting both the 2.4 GHz radio module (AIR-RM1252G-A-K9) and the 5 GHz one (AIR-RM1252A-A-K9)?
    Any and all suggestions or thoughts are greatly appreciated. Oh, and if you need any other information about my setup please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    fella5 is right. You've just mentioned the need for backward compatibility therefore both A/B/G modules is OK.
    Are you going to be using a Wireles LAN Controller (WLC)?
    The reason why I'm asking is because the 1252 AP, in order to get both RM to work, you need at least 19.0 watts of power. This can only be achieved using either a enhanced PoE switch (such as the 3560-E/3750-E) or a power injector.
    The latest code of the WLC (firmware 5.2) will upgrade the AVR of both the radio modules of the 1250 to be able to operate at 15.4 watts of power. Here's the catch though: The new WLC code will allow the 1252 to operate both radios BUT the power output (or signal strength) is curtailed.
    However, do you look the 1140 series AP. This model will operate at 15.4 watts of power, full signal strength but the range is not as far as the 1250.
    The 1140 (like it's other brother, 1130) was designed for office use: lots of walls, partitions and corners. The 1250 is designed for industrial use: wide-open space, environmental protection (thus the armoured-tank look-feel-weight).
    Hope this helps.

  • Missing file 5501.img after upgrade radio module

    I have an AP that has been upgraded by someone else. The 802.11g interface does not come up, and an error message "*Mar 1 00:03:15.367: %DOT11-2-NO_FIRMWARE: Interface Dot11Radio0, no radio firm
    ware file (flash:/c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEA/5501.img) was found" is seen. Any ideas, I suspect the radio module is not correct for this 1230 AP. I have upgrade IOS to latest version.

    Hi Robert,
    I am sure you are on the right track regarding the Radio Module, here is a very similar thread from last December. It seems that the new Radio module (with none of the identifying stickers) may have been intended for the wrong country (A or Japan) Have a look;

  • MSI CR52-A2 Firmware upgraded ( MR!!! and better media support )

    Here is a solution for many people's problems with slow burning CR52-A2
    Thanks to clarkkent57
    I found this -
    http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=15157&highlight=msi
    which suggests the CR52-A2 is the same drive as the optorite CW5205.
    http://www.optorite.com/firmware.htm  is the firmware page.
    I just finished flashing my drive with the following.
    CW5205(52x24x52) 190E017_cw5205.zip 2003.9.2
    My New Optorite CW5205 has Mt. Rainer support.
    It also recognizes all brands of media at the correct speed.
    For the very first time, in more than a year of owning MSI 48x or 52x CDRW,
    I was able to burn a CD at more than 32x.
    It burned a CD at 52x without any problems.
    Personally I don't recommend that anyone update firmware unless absolutely necessary.  
    Updating Firmware with a different companies firmware's is generally a BIG no no.
    It worked for me, and has worked for other people, but you take a risk of making your hardware into a paperweight.
    OPTORITE managed to updated their drives FOUR MONTHS AGO!
    Why hasn't MSI updated their firmware?
    BTW,
    Optorite also has an even new version  210e017.zip dated 2003.12.26
    190E worked for me so I didn't bother trying the newer version.

    Old thread but thought those with the drive might be interested.
    I just flashed 210E017 and worked for me as well. Seems quicker in all operations.
    Sweeet!

  • Where to download MSI HQ Forum USB Flasher?

    Nice redesign of the MSI forums, however it seems to have broken all download links I could find for the MSI HQ Forum USB Flasher -- which I am in desperate need of.
    For example, the link mentioned at http://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-flash-the-bios-successfully just redirects you to the forums with the message "An error has occured!"
    Could anyone please point me to a reliable source for the MSI HQ Forum USB Flasher? Thanks!

    Well according to MSI you should be using MFlash in order to restore a bad BIOS
    Things are still not up and running, so this may take a while before things get back (if they planned to get them back).
    Sadly I don't have forum flasher on me.. maybe other mod has one.
    In the sticky https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172772.0 I found the FPT flasher for socket 1150 boards. Just finished fixing my primary BIOS! All is well again!!!
    That's a huge relief. Now I could update my secondary BIOS to 1.7 without fear.

  • [TV@Master] MSI Radio, keyboard shortcuts

    I'm using MSI Radio app and it's ok for me, just one thing I can't find - keyboard shortcuts to change memorized channels. I really need it so if anyone knows... please. Thanks in advance!

    I found it! It's [CONTROL]+[ALT]+F and while holding these buttons you have to select which memory number you want with or direction key. Great, while I'm doing all these I still have 6 fingers free to do whatever I want

  • Disable Standby/Hibernation MSI Radio

    Hi all,
    through Windows power management I set my MEGA 651 to go into hibernation after 10 minutes idle time.
    TV-recording programs are able to disable this setting while running.
    MSI Radio unfortunately does not disable this setting therefore after listening to the radio for 10 minutes (= 10 minutes idle time) the PC goes into hibernation. Well, I would like to be able to listen to the radio for more than 10 minutes and still keep the settings in Windows power management.
    So how do I let power management know, that while MSI Radio is running, it should not go into hibernation?
    Any hints appreciated,
    Scooty

    INSTANT ON is not available for Mega 651
    leave old topics be

  • Just a few quirks with MSI-Radio...

    Well, I just lost my stereo reciever...Looks like I'll be forced to turn to headphones and MSI-Radio
    First of all, the signal bar is fine grandour except that it sucks...Sometimes it shows no signal and sounds fine. Whats up with that?
    Second, more importantly...I close MSI Radio, and it won't shut up...For some reason it refuses to cut the signal when closing it (Maybe I'll just be forced to manually unplug it from the back of comp)
    Third, some idiot installed ad-ware on my comp!!!  #$@#!!!  "Ad-aware" doesn't seem to detect it and "spy-bot search and destroy" detects Hot-bar but can't remove it...What to do...
    **Well, looks like I'll get the reciever back**
     ;-))Might as well fix it anyways though, can't stand have anything imperfect about my comp...  

    #2 is about the only one I can offer any advice on.  First of all, I'd go to Download -> Multimedia -> TV@nywhere Master and make sure that I had the latest version of the TV@nywhere Master Driver and MSI Radio.
    Secondly, you could probably silence MSI Radio by opening the Windows volume control (or whatever it's called in your version of windows) and muting whatever input you're using to feed sound from the TV@nywhere Master to your sound card.  On my system MSI Radio will actually un-mute Line In when I run it and re-mute when I exit.
    Thirdly, when MSI Radio does misbehave and not shut up on exit, I can usually get it to hush by running and then exiting MSI PVS aka WinDVR.
    Fourthly, I've noticed that my MSI Radio only fails to shut up if I click the Settings button while it is running.  Once I get the settings set, it doesn't give my any more problems as long as I can resist doublechecking my settings.
    Correction: one problem.  It always mutes my master recording balance when it runs, meaning that anything I record with MSI Radio or PVS will be nothing but silence.  I have no idea what that's about.

  • Question on Radio tuner and msi radio on getting it to work

    Ok Iv installed MSI Radio, also got the radio card muted with the msi media center uninstalled that thing is just evil, problem now is the msi radio is not talking to my radio on my msi mega 865 deluxe, the msi media center 3 works with it, but i cant mute the radio card on the audio settings. The radio card starts up when msi radio starts up but none of the tuner options work, i get the fuzz in the back ground but the buttions are not talking to the mega 865's radio card what can I do I want to avoid the msi media center 3 because I will not be able to mute my radio and will have that annoying fuzzy stuff running in the back ground that will annoy me to no ends lol
    MSI MEGA 865 Deluxe
    p4 2.8ghz HT
    1 gig of kingston Ram
    MSI Geforce FX 5700LE 256mb AGP
    MSI Mega Tv Tuner Card
    80 gig Segate Baracuda
    MSI 52x CDROM CDR/DVD Combo Drive
    Windows XP PRO SP2 With MS PLUS! Digital Media Edition

    at least you're getting somewhere with this now
    what is this background fuzz you keep going on about? thats the sound of an untuned radio...
    if you aren't happy with media centre 3 (who is?  ) then make sure you fully uninstall it, and uninstall the mega radio program (for now)
    turn off your pc and unplug the power lead for a few seconds then reconnect.
    put into hi-fi mode and make sure radio is working - if it ain't working in hi-fi mode its not gonna work in windows. try tuning a few stations in, and then leave it set to a station you recognise...
    if all is ok, then power into pc mode (making sure you turn off hi-fi mode first)
    if you hear the radio playing when windows has started (as opposed to "background fuzz" now you have a station tuned in), open the windows volume control and look for the "Radio" slider, you might need to go into advanced properties (under options) and tick the box to show it. just tick the mute box, no need to adjust slider.
    now install the mega radio program (it is found on the Mega 651 downloads page for correct version). now when the radio program starts and closes, it should automatically "tick" and "untick" the mute box in the Radio volume slider itself

  • Specific OID for A radio modules on 1200 series access points

    Is there a specific OID for A radio module cards of the following type:
    Flap - AIR-RM21A-A-K9
    Dipoles - AIR-RM22A-A-K9

    No switches in Cisco's current product line provide enough power to support both radio modules in the 1200 series. The (now optional) power injector for the 1200 will provide enough inline power for both radios, if that is an acceptible option.
    Cisco has plans for several switches that will be able to provide inline power to both radios, but I am not aware of ETA's on these.
