MSI Wind Nettop 100 Refuses to Boot

My MSI Wind Nettop 100 will not boot.
No video signal.
No bios screen.
No boot screen.
Just a blank screen on my monitor that says...No Video Signal.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Dennis

BIOS doesn't go 'corrupt' over time, I doubt that is the problem. Besides, if the unit won't even POST, then there's no chance of flashing the BIOS anyway.

Can you elaborate better on 'acting funky' and 'unstable'?

MSI GT70 (0NE-452) Refuses to Boot/random shut downs - BIOS problem?

Hello,
I recently purchased a MSI GT70 0NE-452 laptop from Xotic PC. It came with Windows 8, but since Windows 8 broke most of Adobe Premiere, Vegas, and After Effects, I wiped the RAID0 SSDs and installed Windows 7. I've reinstalled all the drivers and have been comfortably setup for about a week or 2. Unfortunately now, the laptop has been behaving strangely.
1) Random shutdowns, regardless of whether I'm connected to power or not. And I know it isn't because the battery died. (This might be fixed now since I downloaded another driver for the CPU Thermal Control)
2) Laptop won't turn on first-try. I press the power button and the power button flashes orange but nothing happens. It will only turn on once I've removed the battery and put it back in.
I have a feeling this could be a BIOS problem, and possibly attributable to the Windows 7 reformat, but I'm not sure. My BIOS is currently: American Megatrends Inc E1762MS.50U, 11/23/12.
The MSI website for my model has a Bios update:
Release Date: 2012-12-14
Description: Fix HDMI/DP hot plug no function after S3 resume
Non-Win8
E1762IMS.30R
Can someone please advise? Should I try my hand at flashing the BIOS with this update and hope it solves the problem, or should I just call MSI and get it fixed by them?
Any help is much appreciated, thank you very much!

I'll take your advice but can you clarify a bit? Is it something beyond a BIOS repair?

MSI P35 Neo 2 FR refuses to boot

Hello. I own a MSI P35 Neo 2 FR. I have it for about 4 weeks. Today, i shut down the computer and, after i tried to restart it, it refuses to boot...
The MB doesn't even start. But, if i get the CPU cable off the board, the MB starts, but it remains at the 4 red lights...
So, i am asking for some help.
Is the board fried?
Should i take it to warranty?

Your psu is very weak. That Cooler Master states it would be be able to do sli means nothing.
Funny, 43A on +12V is very weak, and a statement of CM is invalidated without proof.
Quote from: flobelix on 22-February-09, 00:26:11
It is a split rail with three rails at 19A peak each. Peak means seconds before it blows to pieces or shuts down.
How do you know that's a peak value and not a continuous one at 40°C? That unit is a decent AcBel unit, not groundbreaking neither a craptacular one, just a PSU who can power without problems a quad OC-ed on air and a GTX 280.
Quote from: flobelix on 22-February-09, 00:26:11
Across all rails it should do 516w on +12v (which means peak also), that's 43A peak total. So it won't do even 40A continous that's for sure. On each rail it won't do any more than 16-17A.
My god! How do you know that? If it's not PC P&C it doesn't mean that it's crap.
Read before blame a PSU for a failing MB.
Quote from: flobelix on 22-February-09, 00:26:11
I'd recommend trying with another and stronger psu before doing anything else.
I'd recommend buying a MB who's able to power on long term a quad, not only for a month.

Can't start MSI Wind DC110

Hi, I have an MSI Wind DC110 as a media centre in my living room. Today when I attempted to start it up it stopped on a screen saying "Press F3 to run Recovery Tool". There is no way I can find to get past this screen. I have a wireless keyboard, and the box does not respond to any key-press. I plugged in a USB keyboard, and no lights come on and no keys work. I am completely stuck and unable to boot the box.

Hello,
In my opinion this is a defective product, as without reading a manual you should be able to get ANY video, no matter of cable. Unless you have bought a proper barebone (which I believe are being sold too). However before you RMA, did you have everything connected? i.e. keyboard, mouse, power and video cables. Not sure (didn't have a pleasure to read manual yet) but does it have some reset button anywhere? Also did you try spamming Delete key when trying to boot in order to get to BIOS?
Ahh one more thing: did this come with anything else? Such as USB drive, or drivers on something? Because when I had trouble with my motherboard(had asus before), inserting CD that came with it, restored BIOS settings. Not sure how this one works, but all I see it doesn't have any CD/DVD Rom..

MSI Wind DC110 not recognising keyboard

Hi, I have a new MSI Wind DC110. I'm trying to set it up but when I attempted to start it up, it stopped on a screen saying "Press F3 to run Recovery Tool". There is no way I can find to get past this screen. I have a wireless keyboard & mouse, and the box does not respond to any key-press. I plugged in a USB keyboard, and no lights come on and no keys work. I am completely stuck and unable to boot the box.
I found that someone listed the same problem but I could not see any answers!

There are multiple users with this problem. Did you in the meantime find an answer to your question? Could you please post it for our benefit? Thanks

Can not sync centro with MSI Wind

I just purchased a new netbook (MSI Wind) and I want to use my Centro for internet (via PdaNet). I have done this in the past with my MacBook Pro (running Windows XP Pro in boot camp) and with my Latitude D630 (also Windows XP Pro). For some reason, however, I can't even get hotsync to work with the MSI Wind (running Windows XP home).
I started out by installing the latest version of PalmDesktop (downloaded from Palm.com). During the point in time where the installation calls for syncing, I tried to sync and it would not work. There was no error on the PC. No hotsync window opened. Eventually the centro just gave me a generic "can not connect" message:
"The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again."
Of course I tried the online support first: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=PalmSupportKB,ts=Palm_External2001,Case=obj(2630)
I did everything I could: disconnect Plam device, soft reset, clean the connector, check the ports, etc. I used the developer's back door. I tried rebooting the MSI Wind and trying again. (Yes, the Palm Desktop application is running.) I tried plugging my Centro into the Dell Latitude I have laying around. It synced. I plugged it back into the MSI Wind. No die. I tried multiple ports on the MSI Wind. The only thing I didn't do is check the HotSync configuration because the link from the KB article is broken: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=PalmSupportKB,ts=Palm_External2001,Case=obj(28536), but I did check all the settings that I could see from the PalmDesktop installation on the Dell (where it works) and the MSI (where it doesn't) and everything looked identical to me. I also haven't re-installed the PalmDesktop softare (yet) because it doesn't make sense that there would be left-over files from a previous installation given that this is a fresh installation of Windows and the first time I've installed PalmDesktop.
I don't know what the problem is. Any further suggestions? It's really a bummer. The MSI Wind is pretty much useless to me if I can't get internet to it via the cell phone, and I can't do that if I can't even get hotsync to work.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

I managed to get the hotsync to work eventually. I had tried the USB port on the right and the one on the left closest to the battery. Neither worked. I figured if 2 didn't work, the third wouldn't either, but when I plugged it into the USB port on the left farthest from the battery it suddenly started working.
I have no explanation for this.
Now if only I could figure out the darn Bluetooth...

MSI GT70 ONC-008US - Won't boot properly

For whatever reason, my laptop refuses to boot properly now. For awhile it just had a problem booting from sleep (no image on screen, seemingly working otherwise), so I avoided doing that. It also did this when trying to power on the laptop, but this problem was fixed ignored by simply holding the button and trying again.
It now it wont boot, despite the number of times I might try to make it. Nothing appears on the screen at all, sometimes my keyboard back-lights come on but now not even that happens. I don't know what to do. The hard drive (I think it's the hard drive?) makes a sort of clanking sounds a couple times and then goes quiet, occasionally making small beaps. USB devices power up per usual.
If you know what might be happening I'd be eternally grateful. My only guess is that the hard drive is failing, but wouldn't the screen still show something if it was simply the hard drive failing?
##UPDATE:## After trying a million times it finally booted. I still want to figure out what is going on. Please help

Quote from: tdesantiago on 07-April-13, 07:15:15
I've contacted at least three computer repair shops in my local area and all seem to think it's the motherboard. FML
It sucks. But it should still be under warranty from MSI. I would contact them to be perfectly honest.

Recommended Kernel For The MSI Wind U100

Hi folks,
I am currently running the -ck kernel, the same as I have on my laptop, but I am currently thinking that a more specialised kernel may give me better performance on my MSI Wind U100 netbook. I reckon that the Aspire One kernel may fit the bill because of the similar hardware, but I wanted to hear about anyone's experience with this kernel (or any other) on the Wind. Recommendations welcome!
Cheers,
scott

To the nutshell: Seems we understand, great
Regarding the defaults:
Well most of the kernel options have a little help text associated that *may* give an idea what it's about... But I guess you rather look for a good place to start.
You could either use the config of your running kernel: look inside /proc/config.gz. Or you could start with the one that comes with the AUR. If you already run the -ck kernel now, you unknowingly used the config it provides and the above will be the same of course.
I still recommend kernel26-ice with enabled -bfs patch but I guess -ck will in the end use the same scheduler...? Whatever
So in -ck look for this section:
# get kernel version
make prepare
# load configuration
# Configure the kernel. Replace the line below with one of your choice.
#make menuconfig # CLI menu for configuration
#make xconfig # X-based configuration
#make oldconfig # using old config from previous kernel version
# ... or manually edit .config
# stop here
# this is useful to configure the kernel
#msg "Stopping build"
#return 1
Activate "load configuration" (hopefully that uses /proc/config.gz automatically) and either "menuconfig" or "xconfig" so you later get a menu/gui to edit that file.
The commented "stop here" part irritates me, though... I would think the msg and return 1 line should be uncommented as well but - not sure at the moment. Try it, you will see if it stops building while you see the config. It should do...
In -ice-kernel you'd look for
### User/Environment defined variables
bfs_scheduler=${bfs_scheduler:-0}
enable_fastboot=${enable_fastboot:-0}
keep_source_code=${keep_source_code:-0}
menuconfig=${menuconfig:-0}
realtime_patch=${realtime_patch:-0}
use_config_gz=${use_config_gz:-0}
enable_reiser4=${enable_reiser4:-0}
and replace "0" with "1" for bfs_scheduler, menuconfig and use_config_gz and maybe also enable_fastboot.
(optionally look for something like this:
# configure kernel
if [ "$menuconfig" = "1" ]; then
make menuconfig ## <-- this one
fi
yes "" | make config
and replace the "make menuconfig" with "make xconfig"or whatever. I prefer gconfig)
Save the PKGBUILD and run makepkg
After some downloading, extracting and patching you should finally SEE the menu/gui. Tada.
To make sure you can now load the config file you saved above but it *should* allready be done...
Now look at "General Setup->Local Version". The -ck kernel will most likely say -ck there, standard arch says -ARCH. It may be wise to give your kernel a uniqe name so you don't overwrite your working one... (Remember to add an entry for it in /boot/grub/menu.lst to be able to start it later.) You will need to take care of updates manually then, though.
And at last: "Processor-type and features" seems to be the most interesting region for you
(For the other options - well there are LOTS of them. Some will also influence performance.... So I guess best advice is take your time and only fiddle with options you understand.)
If you are done save the setting and exit the program. Now "the real work" should start. If you do it on the netbook - you will probably need SOME patience for that too!
When it's done install the kernel with pacman -U </patch/to/directory/where/I/just/build/the/kernel.tar.gz
If you changed menu.lst you can select YOUR kernel on next boot and try if it does what it should.
Good look
Oh and you may need to (re)install some modules for graphic cards, wifi or whatever for this kernel too...
[Edit: Me needs antiverbose-switch! just wanted to give a *short* answer:) ]

MSI Wind PC barebone usb problem

Hi,
I'm having a problem with a new MSI Wind barebone pc I just purchased. The USB ports only work in full speed instead of high speed (USB 2.0) mode.
I don't think I had this problem before the bios update. I updated the bios to the latest rev because of a problem with s3 mode.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for the advice. I have another one on order to test my current OS install. Hopefully, it will show that it is a motherboard chip issue and should qualify for a Newegg RMA. I've built many PCs over the year, and I have not had this much difficulty in getting them to work properly. The MSI PC Wind nettop seems like a good replacement for my several Shuttle XPC's (3 - 6 years old) that have reached their upgrade limits. In the past three months, I've had to replace their special power supplies at over $80 a pop. Newegg is selling the Wind for $140, and it seems to be a cost effective and "green" alternative to replacing power supplies. I'll post the results of the replacement PC Wind in resolving this USB 2 issue. Thanks again.

MSI Wind Box DC100 Hibernate Problem!!

MSI Z68A-GD55 (B3): Crashes during boot - USB kboard input on dual boot screen

Hi,
My system has 1 HDD with 3 bootable partitions. When I boot my PC i have the standard OS selection screen where i tell BIOS what operating system to boot. All three operating systems are windows 7 professional.
My issue is that on this screen you have to use a keyboard to select the operation system/partition to boot from. I can get this screen to become completely unresponsive simply by pushing the down arrow too many times. Sometimes if i push it once the screen will become unresponsive, sometimes i have to push a key 10 times, but it happens.
My MSI drivers are 100% up to date as of the 6th of March.
I believe this is a BIOS bug.
BIOS is E7681IMS V22.6
Live update says everything is up to date.
Regards,
Tim

When the system is unresponsive, have you try to press the capslock button or numlock button and see if the lights on the keyboard is responding to your keypress?

MSI Wind as NAS

I've decided to set up a NAS for my house. Presently it's so I can share key data and have access to that key data from 2 desktops and wirelessly by a laptop. I figure I'll run either WHS, linux or even possibly XP Pro on the NAS.
I have a few basic questions at the moment:
0. I'm wondering how worth it it would be to get the MSI Wind with the dual core Atom 1.6 GHz processor (N330) over the N230 Atom 1.6 GHz processor. Is it worth the extra ~$32? My own immediate plans are to use it as a file server.
1. WHS, Linux, XP Pro? I could even run Vista (I have Vista Ultimate, currently not used and could use it... will the MSI Wind run Vista?)
2. If I decide to run Linux, can I install it without having a DVD drive in the MSI Wind barebones, assuming that's what I get (the MSI Wind machines only support SATA and my DVD drives are all IDE)? I suppose that would mean I would be installing it from a USB flash drive, or even a USB external HD (I have one). Is that possible and not too hard to do or would I need that DVD drive to install Linux?
3. If I decide to use Linux for the NAS OS, what flavor of Linux would I want to use?
4. Would there be any difficulties in using Linux as a file server OS from PCs running XP Pro? Could I actually run some of my "Windows" applications right on the NAS, running the executables (residing on the NAS's HD) from the local machines?
5. One of my main concerns is low power usage. I plan on 24/7 accessibility for the file server. Does the choice of OS impact power usage and how?
6. Also, if and when I install a 2nd HD (e.g. another WD 1TB Green) in the MSI Wind, would this impact the power consumption? Can the HDs be configured (e.g. in Linux or WHS or XP Pro) to spin down when reasonably idle)?

Quote from: Stu on 10-August-09, 05:14:00
I presume you're referring to the Wind nettop series?
SATA DVD writer drives are very inexpensive nowadays, but you can just as well install your OS from a USB flash drive.
If you want to try Linux, you can run Ubuntu as a server OS, or you could try a dedicated fileserver OS like SME.
I think the nettop has the dual core Atom 1.6 GHz processor. The barebones systems with this cost roughly 25% more than the ones with the non dual core Atom 1.6 GHz processor. One of my questions is "is the extra cost worth it to get the nettop barebones?"
Yes, the SATA DVD writers can be had for ~$25 it appears, but I have no need of one other than to install the NAS OS, so that's why I'm looking for a workaround. FreeNAS, it appears, needs to be installed from CD. I hear that I can install WHS from a USB flash drive, but creating that flash drive is not trivial. The only instructions I've encountered so far require a Vista machine and I don't have a Vista machine. I do have a laptop that supports Vista, and a copy of Vista Ultimate but don't welcome the hassle of "upgrading" my laptop. I have issues enough to deal with right now!

Advent 4213 (MSI Wind?) xorg.conf and kdemod

I have a (not quite so) recently purchased advent 4213 netbook (which I hear is just a rebadged msi wind) and have, after a great amount of struggle due to poor circumstance, managed to get Arch and kdemod installed. kdemod starts from rc.conf just fine but my problem is in the xorg.conf. I have no experience editing these and really don't know what a lot of it means so I used hwd -xa to generate one but it will only give me the 800x600 screen resolution as an option. I tried to use the xorg.conf from my Ubuntu install on it, which gave me better resolutions but, alas, the same happens. I've popped my xorg.conf at the bottom of the post. If anyone could help that'd be tremendous.
Thanks

Wind U90/100/100+ Abracadabra eXtreme

Purpose of the MSI Wind U90/U100/U100+ Notebook Patch:
* Force OFF CPU's Hyper-Threading Technology
* Patch NVRAM to modify Turbo function to be engaged by default, and apply @24% OC [E.g get ready to be activated with Fn+LCTRL or Fn+F10]
* Fixed issue Bluetooth cannot be turned ON in DOS
* Fixed issue SMBIOS Type 2 data incorrect.
* Add ==> Assign new function for the secondary MS$ special Windows button .
* Split ==> Fn+F11 Enable/Disable WLAN only.
* Split ==> CTRL+Fn+F11 Enable/Disable Bluetooth only.
* Add ==> Fn+ LCTRL ==> Enable/Disable ECO/Turbo Modes {Secondary way more comfortable}
* Add ==> Fn+ LWin ==> Enable/Disable WebCam {Secondary way more comfortable}
* Add ==> Fn+ Space ==> Mute On/Off {Secondary way more comfortable}
* Add ==> Fn+ C ==> Launch Calculator
* Add ==> Fn+ "Menu Button"[right Windows key] ==> Launch default E-mail client{Outlook, Thunderbird etc.} and without Fn:
Launch IE/Firefox{or redirect to home page if browser is already open and active else launch another copy}
* Apply custom logo screen.
* Fixed issue FAN always run at least at 45% RPM in Turbo Mode, without the matter how low is the CPU temp.
/* The FAN is adjusted depend of CPU Temp and NOT because the Turbo mode is used,
so when the CPU is running at low temp {normally in idle}, the same temp as Normal Mode,
the FAN will turn off like its works in Normal Mode. */
* Optimizing FAN Performance when notebook is working in Turbo Mode.
- Add-ed custom trigger Level 0 at 20% FAN RPM, CPU FAN will stay off until CPU reach 40C temp.{Real temp}
- Modify Turbo profile for CPU FAN Temp table trigger level 0, from 52 to 20.[C]
- Modify Turbo profile for CPU FAN RPM table trigger level 0, from 45 to 0.[RPM,%]
- Modify Turbo profile for CPU FAN Temp table trigger level 1, from 58 to 50.[C]
- Modify Turbo profile for CPU FAN RPM table trigger level 1, from 45 to 50.[RPM,%]
* Fixed issue when AC Main Power is plugged, Brightness automatically goes to 100%
- Modify stage 9 of Brightness control, adjusted from 200 to 80.
- Arrange Brightness control stage 9 to match with stage 5
[50%, which is actually 40% of monitor brightness because they are not adjusted with proportional increment],
So when AC Main is plugged it will not make difference for mode 1[Normal Mode] when its running at battery{where stage 5 is default}
or AC Main Power.
If ECO Mode is used and AC Main is plugged it will increase with one brightness level only.
{Not bump to the max like its happen in official BIOS}
- Modify stage 8 of Brightness control, adjusted from 184 to 195.
* Fixed keyboard resource conflict.
- NumLock will not longer cause permanent Blue keys printing characters and render keyboard useless for regular tasks.
- Blue sign now are formed only by pressing 'Fn+ desired blue key". [NumLock must be On 1st]

Do these bioses have adjustments in the bios for what we want them to do?
For example, lets say I want it to start up overclocked by default, all the time, if on battery or wall power...
But later I decide no, I want it to start underclocked on battery, and overclocked on power...
Also, I want a regular logo, can i change this to reguar logo in the bios?
Anyhow, how much should i donate? Is there a suggested amount?
I would like a custom bios.

turbo is off by default, you have to press corespond keys to activate it, either on battery or wall power

nope, the custom logo is similar to original one but much better.
however if you don't like it another bios can be done with original logo version instead

More questions:
Why turn off cpu hyperthreading? does this increase performance somehow? Is there a toggle in the bios that lets us switch it back on if we want?
In some cases it can performs better when its disabled.
yes you can toggle in on/off from bios
