PRS-650RC Wacky issues after firmware ugprade

Last week I plugged my PRS-650RC in to charge, and got prompted about an update. After the update, it says I'm on version 1.0.00.14080.
After the update, I've had the following issues, none of which occurred before the update.
- Randomly during page changes, the device will try and put itself into standby mode, but seems to battle with the page change state, and keeps flipping the "device is in standby" and the current page. When it finally figures out what it is supposed to be doing, it usually hasn't changed pages. This usually causes the device to flicker the screen between the standby screen, and the active page.
- The device randomly comes out of standby. 3 times I've picked up the case (PRSA-CL65/BC), and found it in an open book, several *HOURS* after I've put it into standby. Some might suggest the solution to this is to turn it off, but...
- The device randomly turns itself ON. During the composition of this post, I was watching the screen, and it turned itself on. This was after I took it out of my bag, and found it on again (after having turned it off at home).
- Battery life is terribly now. I used to get about 2-3 weeks out of it, with it spending most of its time in standby. Probably due to the above 2 issues, the battery is now lasting about a day, compared to the 2-3 weeks of about an hour reading a day.
Anybody else seeing wacky issues? Is there a way to downgrade the update?

From your description of the issues the PRS-650RC Reader is having after the update it appears that there may be some corruption in the system files. Perform a soft reset to see if that resolves the issue:

If that does not fix the issues the reader is having then you might then need to perform a hard reset:

If you are still having issues with the Reader after a hard reset then the unit may need service in which case give Sony product support a call:

  • PC Suite Issues after Firmware Upgrade of N73

    Hi,
    A new Firmware finally became available for my N73. The version number of this firmware is 4.0735.3.0.2.
    After upgrading my firmware, every time I connect my phone via bluetooth or USB i get the "The connected mobile phone does not have PC Suite support installed" message. When I try the Help -> Reinstall PC Suite Support option, nothing happens on the phone.
    I am able to view my messages via Windows Explorer (but they do not appear in PC Suite below the phone image), do a sync with Microsoft Outlook, sync with Lifeblog, etc - no problems. The only thing that does not work is installing applications via the Nokia Application Installer. Whenever I try to install an application, I get an "Operation Failed" error on the PC, and nothing happens on the Phone. I have tried installing various apps (fring, snake, Conversation) but all result in the same error.
    I have tried this in Windows Vista (with latest updates) and on a clean install of Windows XP SP2.
    Summary of my Configuration:
    Phone: N73 (RM-133)
    Product Code: 0542457
    Firmware: V 4.0735.3.0.2
    Operating System 1: Windows Vista
    PC Suite Version: 6.85.14.1
    Bluetooth Stack: IVT BlueSoleil 5.0.5.178
    Operating System 2: Windows XP SP2
    PC Suite Version: 6.83.14.1
    Bluetooth Stack: Standard Microsoft Bluetooth Stack
    Has anybody experienced similar issues? Can anybody help me? Any help will be appreciated.

    I have never had such issues with my N73 - same firmware on three different systems. I have upgraded the firmware 4 or 5 times. The fact that your phone refuses to install via Application Installer makes me think that there is some issue with the phone itself - corrupted temp folder or something. If the problem irritates you too much, backup the phone and do hard reset (hold *, Green key and 3 while powering on).

  • Numerous issues after firmware updates

    After installing the latest firmware updates I've noticed several issues develop. Firstly, the keyboard and mighty mouse have become less responsive. Particularly within certain applications, for example in iPhoto there is so much latency with the mouse that it is nearly impossible to scroll across an event icon so that it will display the photos within the event. Or in the few games I play the mouse scrolls with a very jerky motion.
    Safari has also not been working well since the update. Certain links (java links maybe) simply no longer work. Or even within this forum, Topics are no longer displayed. I had use Camino to view these forums.
    The only reason I suspect that these issues are related to the firmware updates is that all of these issues arose immediately after installing the firm ware updates.
    So far I have repaired permissions and used OnyX to run all of the maintenance scripts and empty all of my caches, but no luck.
    If anyone can suggest something more to try or provide any insight, that would be great.

    Not only these issues, but my iMac has reverted to its original problem of having random freezes. Twice now I have had the screen completely lock while my music/video continued to play in the background, forcing me to force re-start and lose work.
    I don't have a clue what Apple thought they were fixing but if anyone knows how to downgrade firmware or if it's even possible please post up!

  • Early 2011 Macbook external display issues after firmware update

    I have a 2011 MBPro 15". After performing the firmware update in late April, I have continual issues when I connect my monitor. The screen is blank and I can move the mouse tap the keyboard etc. The display may come up for a scond and then it will close and the machine goes back to sleep. More wiggling and the process starts over.
    If I raise the lid it may bing up the external display. Restarting is the only sure fix.
    I also was unable to make a presentation today because the projector I was connected to would not show the MBP display.
    I tried all the key combinations, detect display etc. and nothing.
    Can I somehow go back to the prior firmware? Other solutions?
    SMC Version (system):          1.69f1
    EFI Driver Version:          01.00.521

    I recently did a software update to my MacBook pro and had a similar issue, on restart it gets to the apple logo then just shuts off, after multiple hours on the phone with apple care they told me that it was coincidence that it happened at the same time as the update and it would be costly to repair as it was either something to do with display or logic board. I took my MacBook into my retail location I bought it from and was told that they have had MULTIPLE people bring in macbooks with the SAME issue (I live in a really small city so the amount of people is quite large proportion wise) and that they could fix the issue by remotely resetting the MacBook at a cost of $130-$150. Relatively cheap considering what I was fearing, but if this is a common problem related to Apples update why are we paying to fix it and why is apple support saying its something major???

  • SA520W Configuration Access Issues After Firmware Update

    The problem I'm having is a minor one, but a problem nonetheless.  I'm new to this company and took over from the previous IT guy who was let go so he's the one who set all this up.  We are using a Cisco 1841 which was provided by our ISP, and it is plugged in to the WAN port on the SA520W.  The SA520W has the static Wan connection info and it is what makes the connection.  Initially, we were able to access the SA520W configuration page with either it's default gateway 192.168.5.1 or with the IP 204.101.24.67, which is the static IP in the Optional WAN Port settings of the SA520W.  After upgrading our SA520W from 1.1.42 to 1.1.65, I am no longer able to access the router using 204.101.24.67.  I can only get in using the default gateway (192.168.5.1).  The Optional WAN port is not in use and never has been which confuses me - I took screenshots of all the settings before the upgrade and nothing has changed at all.  I guess I'm confused as to how I was initially able to access the router using 204.101.24.67, and why it stopped working after the firmware upgrade.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I re-read your original Post; are you not using the WAN port also?  Did you try and remote in from a switch attached directly to the WAN/Optional WAN port?  I am asking as I have almost the exact same setup using an 1811 which is NATing the SA.  I could not reach it as the one-to-one NAT on the 1811 was not set correctly.  I also went through the firmware upgrade and experience the same issues you are.  I had the CISCO account with WAN access, and the upgrade removed that (after a lot of scratching).  However, my real problem was also the routing on the 1811.  I eventually had to get the guys to do a one-one NAT and remove all ACL and rules, but that does not mean it can't be done with it either.  Try reaching it with a switch or cable and see what happens.

  • Mifi4510L connections issues after firmware 2.23 update

    Just updated my mifi firmware to v2.23
    Immediately upon restarting the unit it will no longer connect to Verizon's 3G/4G data network.
    Checking the advanced diagnostics tool I found that the unit will not synch with the data network (no IP address) and will not connect when attempting manual connection.
    Called tech support, after talking with 2 different reps my problem has been passed onto engineering with no estimated time of response.
    Unfortunately the first rep tried to indicate that problem was related to my Macbook Pro. Tried to download the update using my XP virtual machine but the dowload pdf would not open.
    Hopefully this issue will be resolved quickly before I have to request an adjustment to my MRC for the time that the unit is nonoperable.

    Hello,
    The problem is with your Mac.  Many users have reported problems where the Mac upgrade left thier MiFi bricked.  Follow JeffR's steps to resolve the problem on your own.  Try to use a WinXP computer if at all possible.
    If you have a Mac "bricked" Mifi: 
    1. Run the installer, the Mifi will show up as a USB Human Interface Device and the upgrade will not start (cannot find the device)
    2. The installer leaves a directory (C:\MiFi4510L) and there's a program called DUU_Verizon_MiFi4510L.exe
    3. Run that program, it will find the Mifi, and ask if you want to enable the modem functions of the Mifi.
    4. Answer yes, then disconnect and hit the reset button under the battery door.
    5. Now reattach to your PC, and rerun the upgrade program. This time it will work.

  • Login issue after Firmware Upgrade Ver.4.21.5 for WRT54g v2

    I just updated the firmware to Ver.4.21.5.  After I log in to the router, each time I change Tabs or I save a change I am prompted for the Admin password.  This is annoying, but not a limiting factor for changing settings.  Is there a fix for this?
    Thanks

    u can reset the router and reconfigure it . it should not keep on prompting anymore .
    I believe that I can make it

  • MacBook Battery Shutdown issue after firmware update - anyone reinstalled?

    Has anyone tried re-loading their OS? I have this issue too (though my battery lasts about 30 minutes) and this it powers down. I called apple (my SN starts with 8609) and told them I had a battery issue.
    They were not much help - they indicated to me that I am over my 90 days for phone support and that I would have to bring my battery in to the store to have it tested. They went further to say if it is a firmware issue and not a battery that is technically software and I would be charged $50 for battery testing if it passed. And that if there was actually a battery issue they would replace under the 1 year hardware warrenty.
    My dilemma now is should I try and wipe/reinstall the base OS (which I was told will undo the firmware upgrade).
    I thought I would check here to see if anyone tried this before swapping battery???
    I seems that the firmware update caused the problem but I am not sure if the battery is still good and the firmware is just crap or if the battery might still be ok. Has anyone wiped/re-installed the os and fixed this issue?

    thats good news then in my case if its the logic board. The cpu whine has been driving me nuts(being excessively louder then most other macbooks with the whine) so I've been wanting to get the logic board replaced anyways.
    Dont worry about the applecare though since we all should have it within the 1 year warenty still so all repairs should be covered.
    Imo I'm considering purchasing the extended applecare protection plan if i can come up with the money( $249 is a bit steep for me) to get anouther 3 years of warrenty service expecialy with all the problems macbooks have been having.

  • Toshiba 32L4333 - Strange issue after firmware 7.1.92.41.01.1 installation

    Hi,
    I've installed firmware update a few days ago. Now when I turn off the TV, the display goes off for some time (couple of minutes) and then it goes on again with just a black light (like the backlight is on), and stays on. I did not have this issue before the update. Is there a way to fix this, or to roll back to the previous version of the firmware?
    Message was edited by: n.dimov

    Since few weeks on my TV I get message that new update is available and ready for download. Somehow I don't want to change anything because TV works perfectly.
    I don't know if this will help but you can try to set your machine to original factory settings. Test it please and send some feedback. I would like to know if this will fix described issue.

  • WRT310N Setup issues after firmware update and factory reset

    Hi Everyone,
    I recently updated my firmware to v2 on my WRT310N and found that I could no longer connect my PC to my router.  Whenever I run the setup software that came with the router it goes through all the steps but errors out when it looks for the router.  I think the error number I am getting is 322.
    I tried to reset the router to the factory defaults, but I am still having the same issues.  
    When I plug my Cable modem directly into my PC I have no issues and have full internet connectivity.  I have tried to navigate manually to the 192.168.1.1 to do a manual setup of the router but I can't get to the router main page.
    I'm running windows XP SP3 and I had no issues up until I did the firmware upgrade.  I can't think of what I am doing wrong and am stuck.
    Any thoughts?

    Make sure that the cable modem is connected to the Internet port of the router. Your computer should be connected to one of the 4 Ethernet ports on the router. If your computer is connected to the port 1 of the router then port 1 light on the router will lit up. Also make sure that the Power light on the router is steady and not flashing. If the power light on the router is flashing then try to reset and power cycle the router again.
    Once the power light on the router is steady then check the IP address of the computer.
    Go to Start >> Click Run >> Type cmd and click Ok. You will get the command prompt window opened. In the command prompt type ipconfig and hit Enter on your keyboard. You will see the IP address of your computer. The IP address of the computer will be like 192.168.1.xxx and Default gateway will be 192.168.1.1.
    Now open the Internet browser and in the address bar type the number 192.168.1.1.
    It will ask you to enter the User name and password for the router. Leave the user name blank and in the password type admin. It will open the Linksys router setup page.
    Under the setup tab you will find Mac address Clone sub-tab.  Enable the MAC addres clone and click on the button Clone my PC's MAC. Save the changes. Try to access the Internet on your main computer.
    If not able to access the Internet then unplug the power cable to the router and modem. Plug in the power to the modem first. Wait for a minute and then plug in the power to the router. Try to access the Internet.
    Once your main computer is able to go on line then you can change the wireless settings of the router.

  • Stacks issue after firmware update 1.2, won't fan anymore only grid.

    This issue was resolved when I updated to the 10.5.2 Leopard OS but now that I've updated the firmware with the most recent update yesterday the stacks function in the dock went back to just being able to show the grid format and when I choose the list format it comes up in a standard list (menu) view not the nice new fan view.
    Has anyone else had this issue yet? Has anyone been able to fix it? I can see from the install log that there were errors and it looks like they were specifically with the dock/stacks portion but I'm not code savvy enough to know how to fix them.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, at the risk of insulting your level of expertise - is your Dock on the side instead of the bottom? There's no fan available with side-docked Docks, either in function or the popup menu.
    If that's not the case, try trashing the Dock's plist and see if that makes it behave.
    Please keep in mind we see many, many beginners or otherwise naive users asking questions which have simple answers, and no insult is intended when a suggestion is made that you've already tried; it's hard to assess a writer's knowledge level. When your original post said "and when I choose the list format it comes up in a standard list (menu) view not the nice new fan view" it made it hard to determine your level for 2 reasons: You referred to the "new fan view" which is not new in 10.5.2, the upgrade you said you just installed, and if you "chose the list format" why would you expect it to show you a fan view? That's probably why Bruce told you to select "fan view". It was probably just a less-than-perfect sentence on your part, but you might be able to see, in retrospect, that it sounded a little newbie-ish.
    Bruce tried to help you and we can only hope that your reaction does not make him hesitate to help someone else lest he get snapped at again!

  • Home Hub 5 VPN issues after firmware upgrade

    Hi all, hope you can help...
    I use Check Point SecureClient to connect to work, it connected perfectly until this morning and it It fails with a "failed to update policy" error.
    Nothing else had changed, and I could connect to my VPN using my 3G MiFi, so I checked the home hub and the firmware had been upgraded to Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.204  yesterday evening. 
    I've spent all day on the phone and chat to BT, and the best they could offer was a call to the tech team who might charge me for fixing this!
    Has anyone managed to get round this issue? Is it a known fault?  Is a new router the best option, if so which can be configured with the minimum of guesswork?

    Have you tried the VPN setting on the Homehub?

  • OfficeJet Pron 8600 (n911g) not printing after firmware upate to CLP1CN1435​AR

    While re-enabling ePrint, printer self-updated to firmware CLP1CN1435AR.  Since that time, printing has been erratic. Most times I have to switch the printer off, then on again to get a document to print.
    The behavior is the same on all computers in the house (Win 7 / Win 8).  Have tried resetting the printer settings, re-installing printer driver software, and disabling the PC firewall.  Prior the the "issue" starting, printer has had a long record of simple and reliable network printing.
    At the time the printer fails to print, I can browse the printer Web page.  I am certain the physical ethernet connection is working.
    There was also a spate of Windows updates at the same time.
    I have not found any reports of similar problems - which puzzles me.
    Anyone else with this problem?  Any suggestions?
    Config:
    OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus (n911g)
    Wired Network: Enabled
    IPV4 printing - static IP addresss.  DNS and gateway both specfied.
    Wireless Network: Disabled
    Basig Printer Drivers installed - latest version.
    Printer Firewall: Off (tried turning on then off again - no diff)
    Can I "Downgrade" the firmware to test if this resolves the problem?

  • Issues after installing Classic on OS 10.4

    Background and System
    I have a Power Mac G3 350Mhz Rev 2 Blue and White, 512MB, 40GB, DVD ROM
    running 10.4.9 installed from Retail DVD. Firmware up to date. 2x 20 GB partitions formatted as Extended
    Prior to this issue OS X has been running well.
    Issue:
    After installing OS 9.2.1 to second partition OS X will now not boot up from DVD nor it's partition
    Solutions tried:
    I wanted to install a Classic environment so used a Retail OS 9.2.1 Bootable CD and did a full install to the second partition.
    After the install finished and the system restarted, set on the OS X (Partition1) for start up the system hangs right after the Apple "Chime". with no signal to video card
    Attempted to then boot from OS 10.4 DVD but this does not get detected when holding "c" down for boot up from CD option. This worked perfectly before.
    Have run OS 9.2.1 Disk Aid Verify and both partitions are ok. The system will boot from the 9.2.1 CD and partition but anything to do OS X now will not work. I also tried an Ubuntu 6.06 Live CD but this will not now boot either.
    Checked firmware and tried to re run firmware update and this advised my firmware was up to date.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks

    The only thing I can think of is that when you installed the 10.4.9 OS you didn't option to install OS 9 drivers.
