Re: Fuzzy GME965 overheating issues and poor BIOS support

I resonantly bought a Fuzzy GME965. Do you know where I can download the latest BIOS? There is nothing on the MSI homepage.

  • BT Infinity issues and poor service

    I reported an issue with the Infinity team that I can not access the internet several times a day and the only solution is to switch off the hub for several minutes and then switch it back on.
    After several calls to the helpdesk and not being provided with any information as to the 'fixes' which have been applied I was in a call yesterday for 15 minutes waiting for my call to be escalated as I requested. The call was cut off! I actually got a call back and an apology! I said that I had spent too long on the phone 'waiting' for someone to explain what had been done to date to attempt to resolve my issue but no answers were provided. I was informed that the case had been closed! I questioned why and was informed that someone had spoken to my wife and closed the case. This is incorrect as nobody has spoken to my wife and she would not state the issue had been resolved has it clearly has not!
    I was promised yesterday that a supervisor would phone me back to discuss the case as I am not happy at all. This poor service is costing me money as I am not capable of working without the broadband connection!
    I would like someone to take ownership of my issue and provide me with the service I expect from paying for this premium service!
    I've just looked at the closed case which I was informed had been re-opened I can see no update and that it is still closed!
    Please open it now and provide an update as promised on several occasions.

  • Open Box Warranty Issues and Poor Lenovo Malaysia Costumer Service

    Dear Sir,
    My name is Azri. I just bought a new free DOS Lenovo G400S from your authorize dealer in penang on 31th March 2014 around 6pm. Since  the unit was a free dos unit, I just brought that laptop home without opening the box for inspection due to the shop will close at 7pm. Upon arriving at my house I unbox the unit to install the OS. On first start, I notice there was an obvious one big death pixel underneath of LENOVO logo. Since it was free dos, I thought it might be the dos issues, so I boot it with linux live CD. After finish booting, I do several test and notice that the dot is really a death pixel. I pack it up and brought back to authorize dealer on 1st of April. Authorize dealer are keen to replace one to one to me as this is open box issues. How ever they need the clearance from lenovo penang for that. I leave that faulty unit with their RMA department and follow up the next day via phone. Upon follow up they inform me that Lenovo penang request the unit to be evaluate at their center. I had to wait for a few days.  On friday the authorize dealer call me and inform that the conclusion will be given by lenovo penang by monday. On Monday I went to authorize dealer again to ask for status. Again lenovo penang decline to give statement. Frustrated I called them  and after a while they inform me that my claim was rejected due to insufficient  number of death pixel. I really frustrated with lenovo service. I never use that unit and the screen already faulty when I open the box.I  hope you could resolve my problem as this unit is my costumer unit. This problem had tarnish the image of Lenovo as your unit with QC passed mark actually don't pass the mark.

    Lenovo Penang service report number: 252130 (D014-052)
    I went to penang service center and explain my situation. They just asked me to call Lenovo Malaysia to get the authorization for them. So I call Lenovo malaysia on every single day since then. After long arguing they only gave me the reference number that is:
    SR : 8002963510 **MYR**
    Even though I call the Lenovo Malaysia on every single day, they keep on giving excuse and the agent seem don't know or notified about my problem. When i push them harder they rejected my request for LCD replacement by qouting the US site Term and condition.
    I got angry and scold them by comparing their service againts other company such HP. After that they escalate my case to their supervisor. Still after almost a month they didnt want to replace the faulty LCD, They keep delaying the answer to replace my faulty LCD. I dont know where to complain anymore. Plese lenovo help me. I was a victim of your poor support and costumer service. How do you dare to put the QC passed sticker on your machine while your machine are faulty.

    Also forgot to add, but it cannot be very hard for Lenovo to send me a black/purple hairline cover for the laptop. Surely they can be taken off and put on somewhat easily.

  • No service issue and poor battary life on iphone 5?!?!?!?!?1

    cmon Apple./I have had my iphone 5 for over a month and keep getting this no service issue,..,the battary is terrible,.wont even last 8 hours with light browsing and I ahve used all the battary saving tricks,.I dont ask for much from this expensive gadget,.I just use it to text call and look at the net,.all three of which I have had problems with from day one!!!!! My iphone 3gs which I had for 3 years never gave me one problem?I have read countless threads on this issue,.please can you sort it out of help or offer a refund,.I am actually wanting to go back to my 3gs its got so bad and I am tired of reading all day to find a solution,.Apple used to just work!!what happened?

    Went to apple again. Same problem. Drains 5% an hour on standby with everything shut and airplane mode. They said this is "normal" and REFUSED to replace my phone as the battery health was normal. They say, "The hardware is ok, so we cannot replace the phone". I had them do a full restore from recovery mode. DId not help.
    Just to reiterate. I have done EVERYTHING- restore, full restore, shut apps, turned of location services, wifi, network, push mail, BG app refresh and reduced motion and set auto-lock to 1 min. Even auto-brightness is off and screen is at 30% brightness.
    Now I am stuck. Poor battery and uncompramising apple. This is perhaps making me anti-apple from an apple fan.
    Just wanted to ask, are such usage times and standby times normal? They are much less than what apple claims.

  • IPhone 4s - Battery issue and poor voice quality

    I had bought my iPhone in May this year. It was working fine till i think a week back battery started to drain quickly at 10% every hour. I have configured office exchange account for mail and accessing global exchange contacts, Google account as exchange for contact sync and iCloud. i dont keep any contacts on exchange, keep in Gmail only. Was Android user earlier.
    I read a lot of posts and tried all solutions such as turning off timezone service in location, turn off and delete all email accounts, kept manual sync for emails, ran the battery down till switch off and charging back to 100%, removed apps i doubted could be syncing data in background, turned off locaiton service totally, turned off calendar, turned calendar notifications, turned of iCloud reminder, notes but no effect. Wifi and Siri are also off.
    I notice today that I am getting small circle near operator name rather than E symbol (for edge)and at the same time voice quality of person on other end is bad too, can hear small cracking , clicking sounds, voice breaks. Otther person can hear me properly. I get back E symbol in some different place than my desk. I havent changed my desk so thats not a possibility either.
    Someone had suggested queued network thread with exchange can cause the issue so Installed System Activity Monitor app but it doesn't show battery graph or which process is taking CPU or network time. Moreover, it shows 4-5% less battery level than on top in disharging mode !!
    Used to get good stats of what is eating the battery in my old HTC Desire but iPhone doesn't offer such feature to diagnosis. Ideally should not be required if phone works as expected.
    What do I need to do to get battery life and voice quality back? I will try voice again at home just to rule out bad network at work.
    Thanks,
    Ashish

    Well, most of what you did is black magic, and has nothing to do with battery drain. But we have no way of knowing how your battery life is below what you think it should be. What are you using it for, what apps do you have, and how much Usage life do you get (settings/general/usage).

  • Random Dropping and POOR CUSTOMER SUPPORT

    So I've had this issue for about 2 years. Yeah, 2 years.
    We've had countless calls with BT, countless emails etc. Nothing is working! 
    Whenever I call the BT centres now, I refuse to do these pointless tests, as they provide no accurate result, I also cannot explain what the situation is fully to them, because they don't understand me. 
    The internet will randomly drop once or so every five minutes, sometimes it'll be a full internet drop, or sometimes it'll be heavy packet loss. It happens on all devices, wired and wireless, desktop pc's to phones. 
    We've been given discounts on our packages, however they are useless discounts as we are still having major troubles connecting to the internet.
    We've recently noticed a new occurrence, whenever our internet drops, we also lose connection to the hub settings manager. Bare in mind this happens on all devices at the same time. Lights on the hub remain blue, and the speeds on our hub settings page will also remain at 448kbps up and 7mbps down.
    I'm really losing the remaining patience I have fast, the call centres don't have a clue what they're doing, today I was talking to the floor manager who even booted me offline to do a test without my approval, which I find unacceptable.
    I also find it unacceptable that there is no English call centre, as, not being rude, but it's really hard to understand the foreign call centres, and they find it hard to understand you as well.
    So, does anyone here have any resolutions to the internet drops, as we're out of ideas. 
    (bt claim that the line from the exchange to my hub is *totally* fine)

    welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
    I understand your reluctance to do the test requested by CS but in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run  btspeedtester  (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
    which hub do you have?
    are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal

  • BIOS Update and Overheating Issue

    A big Hello to all my fellow HP Users and a very Good Day to all of you
    I have an HP G61-455EE Notebook PC running a Windows 7 ( 64 bit ) OS with an overheating issue - the underside of the laptop runs really hot after a while of usage and the system goes into "Hibernation" with a displayed message due to overheating.
    Pursuant to my research on this subject, I have come across advice to clean the fan ducts ( which I did ) and to update my BIOS, and that is where the problem lies.
    My BIOS current information : HP F.23, 12/21/2010 and the HP Driver Download lists a new update F.23 ; Released: 2011-01-14. Upon download and subsequent installation with the "insydeflash" program that pops up during BIOS instalation, the current and the new version are shown to be the same and despite procedding with the installation, it still shows the same old version.
    I would love all your help and advise on this, as to what I should or should I just go ahead and replace the fan ( Is that even adviseable ? )
    Looking forward to your help
    Cheers !

    F.23 is F.23 despite the discrepancy in the release dates. You have the latest BIOS.

  • IMac 27" (Late 2012) Loud Fan and Overheating Issues, causing Hard Drive Failure

    Hi all,
    I'm having some serious overheating issues with my new iMac. Any help to help me solve this problem would be gladly appreciated since it's really beginning to bug me. Here's what's has happened:
    I noticed in the first few hours of switching the iMac on that there was a short burst of very loud fan noise. This has been happening about once every two days since and every time I haven't been doing any heavy processing with the system. I've noticed that the main fan will spin, on average, at 1200rpm. Is that normal? The iMac is very well ventilated and sits right next to a window...
    I have also boot camped the iMac with a copy of Windows 8 so I could run some fairly power-hungry games. I intentionally purchased a high end iMac (27" display, Intel Core i7 3.4GHz, Nvidia GeForce 680MX Graphics, 1TB Fusion drive) and expected the iMac to run games flawlessly. However, after a few days, I noticed that the CPU and GPU had shot up to a worrying 80°C whenever I ran power-hungry games, with a very loud hissing noise from the fan. After running games for about 10 minutes, the fan will stop hissing, causing the GPU and CPU to increase to 100°C. The iMac then fails and switches off unexpectedly without any warning. After analysing the Windows event logs, I received an event ID 41: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
    As this occurred about six times whilst I was testing my iMac's performance, I think my hard drive has now begun to fail - sometimes I will hear the hard drive make a click noise, about once every 5 seconds. Sometimes, the clicking noise causes OS X and Windows to run very slowly (even though minimal RAM is being used and nothing too intensive (Safari, Mail etc.) is being processed). Running Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions under OS X's recovery mode as well as a repair in chkdsk in Windows suggests that there were no problems with the hard drive. All I can do is wait a while for the clicking noise to stop, and then performance will increase. I have backed up everything externally.
    I have also performed a reset of the SMC as well as the PRAM, which hasn't really helped.
    Any help will be appreciated. I will gladly provide any extra logs etc. if they're needed.
    Thanks so much,
    Alex.

    That's the default fan speed on iMacs, so there isn't any problem with this.

    You must know that Boot Camp isn't compatible with Windows 8 and that Apple hasn't released drivers for Windows 8, so it can fail. Install Windows 7 inmediately until Apple launches updated drivers.
    As it looks like the hard disk is damaged, I would take the Mac to an Apple Store. It's in warranty, so it should be repaired for free or you should receive a new one

  • MacBook Japanes keyboard issue (and very poor Apple customer service)

    I AM A BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED APPLE CUSTOMER / USER.
    Over the past 3 years I have been a loyal purchaser and user of Apple products. I have bought a PowerBook G4 17", 2 Airport Extremes, 2 Airport press, 2 Ipods, 2 Nanos, 1 Shuffle, Aperture, various accessories and more recently a black MacBook.
    I have relocated to Japan with my job in the past few month where I purchased my MacBook from an official large retailer (Yodobashi in Tokyo) because I was buying many other household items at the same time. My laptop works beautifully but is equipped with a Japanese keyboard (katakana) which is proving very confusing for all non Japanese users (incl. myself).
    I visited the Apple flagship store in Ginza (Tokyo)to share my request. I was informed that they could swap the keyboards but only for laptops purchased in the flagship store. I believe that my Apple product merits the same level of customer care as an Apple product purchased in that store.
    With this in mind, I am still seekigng a solution to my issue and would be grateful for some help. I believe that as a loyal customer and an English speaking user, I am entitled to being able to swap my keyboard (particularly as the service is provided).
    Does anyone have any useful hints as to how I get my keyboard swapped (by Apple preferably to avoid voiding the warranty).
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   x

    Hi desalaberry.
    Welcome to macbook forum.
    I am not to familiar with Japan authorized service center and their apple store policy, you also can check this:
    http://www.apple.com/jp/store/english/
    Keyboard and Mac OS Language
    Your Mac can be ordered with an English language (U.S.) style keyboard, or Japanese - the choice is yours. The Mac OS X operating system supplied with your Mac is multilingual so can be set up in English and a large range of international languages.
    If your macbook still returnable, just return that to the original store and order one with english layout on apple store at Ginza or other near you:
    http://www.apple.com/jp/retail/business/
    (scroll down to bottom)
    Other way is to buy wired or wireless english layout mac keyboard and connect that to your macbook.
    Hope ypu can talk it out with them.
    Good Luck

  • Congestion issues and very poor technical / custom...

    We have seen a drastic drop in our broadband speed over the past few months during peak times. This past few weeks it has become virtually impossible to do anyhting online any time after 7pm other than browse web pages, forget youtube, facebook or online gaming. Early morning speeds are fair enough between 4 and 6 meg but from 4pm it will slowly drop to as low as .3 meg.
    We have had repeated telephone calls to technical help with promises of call backs to arrange an engineer with only one call from them , they said they would call before 9am so we would be in before going to work, they called at 2.30pm. We called back, there is no fault tech help said and we agreed, its only peak time congestion, they arranged a engineer and we settled on a datethat suited us.
    Yesterday evening tech help called, and guess what ? there is no fault , there is nothing we can do for your issues and were told " there is nothing we can do to solve this issue, live with it, leave bt or wait to be upgraded in the future "
    This is hardly a response that we expected, BT telling customers to leave or not willing to do anything for their customers ?
    Can anyone offer any suggestions ? where do we go next ? as our contract is up for renewal in a few weeks we are very tempted to jump ship but often the grass is not greener...

    Smaller ISPs tend to have much better customer care (they actually care most of the time). BT is probably not that much interested, and may even benefit from you going to a different ISP. The smaller a company, the more important each individual customer is. At least in theory... If you do decide to jump ship, keep that in mind. Also make sure to pick one that offers Local Loop Unbundling (LLU), otherwise you'll be in the same spot.
    In the meantime, you may want to run some pathpings (Run: pathping www.bbc.co.uk so you can quantify your problem). Do some measurements at the clear times and some more at the congested times. It may also reveal where exactly the problem is.

  • Compilation of Lenovo X120e issues and solutions

    Just thought a compilation of issues may be beneficial for folks who own an X120e.
    Screen adjusts brightness automatically without user input depending on content on screen:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X100e-screen-brightness-increasing-by-itself/td...
    This is caused by Vari-Bright being enabled in the Catalyst Control Center.  With this option enabled, the screen will automatically adjust its brightness depending on what is shown on the screen.  The display brightness is increased when the screen is predominantly white while the display brightness is decreased when the screen is predominantly dark.  An easiest way to see this effect happening is to have two tabs opened in a web browser window.  Set one tab to display a website that is mainly filled with white pixels (such as this Lenovo Forum) and another tab to display a website that is mainly filled with dark pixels (such as http://www.krijtenberg.nl/ ).  Switch between the two, pausing a few seconds in each tab.
    Solution:
    Open the Catalyst Control Center and select the PowerPlay option in the Power section.  Uncheck the Vari-Bright option (or adjust the slider) and click Apply.  Verify that the automatic adjustment is no longer occuring by doing the two tab experiment described above.
    Function keys for brightness control not working after waking from sleep / hibernation in some instances:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Funtion-keys-for-brightness-not-working/t...
    For my X120e, whenever I have it sleeping or hibernating and change the power source (such as initiating sleep when on power and then waking it up while on battery, or vice versa), the function keys for brightness controls do not work.
    Solution:
    Restarting the machine will bring back functionality of the brightness control keys...
    A way to prevent this from happening in the first place is to wake the X120e in the same power state that the X120e was put to sleep in (wake up from power adapter if slept while connected to power adapter, or wake up from battery if slept while on battery).   
    All we can do now is wait for Lenovo to come up with a fix on their side of things.
    AMD SATA Controller and TRIM for SSD:
    The AMD SATA Controller provided by Lenovo does not support passing of TRIM command according to http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/450343-post35.html for SSDs.  The Lenovo provided AMD SATA Controller is 1.2.1.197, before the official TRIM support in 1.2.1.263.  If you're using a HDD, this is of no concern.
    Solution:
    In order to have support for passing of TRIM command, one has to update the AMD SATA Controller to any version above 1.2.1.263 ( http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/integrated_win7-64.aspx#3 for Windows 7 64-bit, for example) or uninstall the AMD SATA Controller to revert back to Microsoft's Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller. 
    Disclaimer:  Since the AMD SATA Controller driver linked is not from Lenovo themselves, I'm sure they won't provide any support if something is to occur so try at your own risk.
    As HP79 mentions below, at least according to the update notes, TRIM implementation is implemented for Hudson chipsets as of 1.2.001.263.
    Audio Stutter / Slurring occuring during playback of video/audio:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Stuttering-Audio/td-p/389023
    This issue can be reproduced (at least on my X120e) by waking the X120e after putting it to sleep.  The symptom is the audio repeating a sound over a span of a second or two during playback and is quite noticable. 
    Solution:
    uEFI Bios version 1.11 seems to deal with the audio stuttering issue.  So far, results lead to positive outcomes.
    Old Solution:
    PWMTR64V.DLL that is loaded at Startup seems to be causing this issue.  Disabling it from launching when starting up seems to cure the Audio Stutter (even after waking up from sleep which was seen to be a pretty reliable way to get the issue to repro).  Start Menu > Launch MSCONFIG from the Search Bar > Select Startup Tab from the System Configuration window > Uncheck Thinkpad Power Manager > Restart. 
    This does not seem to turn off the power manager application itself so settings in Power Manager can be saved and it seems to still be in effect.  However, opening up Power Manager from the notification / taskbar can cause audio stuttering and mouse movement slowdown while it is launching and/or when applying settings.  This is only temporary and is gone when Power Manager is closed. (Thanks kns7977 for the find)
    Pending to see if those who uninstalled Power Manager are able to turn off the offending startup .dll.
    Mouse seems to stutter or stay in place for a moment when moving:
    This seems to be caused by the same issue causing the Audio Stutter / Slurring.  At least at this time, the cause of the issue and solution seems to be the same.
    Emulating Middle Mouse Button with Trackpoint:
    One can set up the middle button between the left and right click button for the TrackPoint to act like pressing a middle mouse button on a standard mouse by changing the scrolling type to Smooth instead of the default Standard. 
    Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > Mouse > UltraNav Tab > Setting for TrackPoint > Setting for Choose Scrolling or Magnifying Glass Function > Smooth.
    Trackpad's two finger gesture being hit or miss:
    The trackpad's two finger scrolling is very hit and miss.

    Solution: Turning off Gesture Filtering may alleviate the problem.  As mentioned in http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/561751-x120e-owners-thread-24.html#post7323293, it seems that the Gesture Filtering is counteracting any sort of two finger input.
    Get to Mouse Properties by Fn + F8, select Manage Settings.  At Mouse Properties, select the UltraNav tab > Settings for TouchPad.  Expand the Smart Check Settings, highlight Gesture Filtering, and uncheck the Enable Gesture Filtering box and Apply. 
    Screen flickers lines:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Flickering/td-p/389523
    Had this issue occur on me once, but never seen it happen again.  Unsure what caused or cured it.
    Solution:
    If the flickering is occuring, a restart is all that is needed to alleviate the problem.  Haven't tested if hibernation fixes it, but neither sleep nor turning off the screen with the Power Manager dealt with the flickering.
    3-Cell Battery mentioned as a 40Wh in the Order Page of Lenovo X120e when it is actually rated as 32Wh according to Power Manager:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X120e-3-cell-40Wh-battery-reported-as-32Wh-by-P...
    Yeah...
    Solution:
    Accept that it's a 32Wh you will get when selecting 3-Cell or go for the 6-Cell if you want more than 32Wh.
    2x2 ABGN Driver from Lenovo triggering Error Code 10:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X120e-ABGN-Driver-issue-in-Windows-7-Pro-x64/td...
    The Wireless driver from Lenovo's site seems to not work with the 2x2 ABGN wireless when installed on a fresh copy of Windows 7 x64.
    Solution: 
    Not really quite a solution, but one can bypass this by either installing the 32-bit Windows 7 and installing the 32-bit driver, or using the factory recovery disc to install 64 bit windows 7 to have it install drivers that work for x64 windows 7.
     X120e bluescreens after installing LAN Realtek 7.26.902.2010 drivers from Lenovo's Driver download site.
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-bluescreen-when-installing-lan-drivers/td...
    The drivers doesn't seem to work and it causes a bluescreen on fresh installed Windows 7 x64.
    Solution:
    As Clicq suggests, Realtek's own drivers from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTy... seems to deal with the issue. 
    Screen quality on the X120e:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-poor-LCD-quality-viewing-angles/td-p/3945...
    The quality of the screen on an X120e is below expectations.
    This is common with low-quality TN panels not helped by glossy displays.  My personal X120e screen likes to bleed certain colors of red.
    Solution (not really): 
    One can use the Windows 7 built-in color calibration tool to adjust the colors to make it more tolerable.  Adjusting your own viewing angle in relation to the screen might deal with some color issues (hard to figure out what's the correct viewing angle because of TN panel's small range of optimal viewing angles).  Also, changing the refresh rate to 60Hz may deal with some headaches due to the screen (as it did for me).
    HDMI Overscan to HDTV issue:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/HDMI-overscan-to-HDTV-issue-on-x120e/m-p/395335
    There is a black border when outputting to HDTV through HDMI.
    Solution:
    AMD's CCC by default sets a specific value for overscan / underscan.  One can http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Output-to-TV-via-HDMI-port-black-border-on-the-... while the device is connected via HDMI (the option is hidden if the HDMI port is not used) and adjust the slider to an acceptable value.
    Skype asserts after 10-20 seconds of video chat:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Skype-quits-after-10-20-seconds-of-video/...
    When doing a video chat, the video feed will freeze and then skype will crash to desktop.
    Solution:
    Version 5.3 of Skype seems to be the culprit.  Until Skype itself is fixed, one can use Skype 5.2.60.113 from http://www.filehippo.com/download_skype/changelog/9465/ to bypass this issue.  Just reject any offer to update to 5.3 after installing 5.2, for now.
    If there is anything I missed, please respond and I'll update this post with new information.  These are the ones that I have encountered so far with my Lenovo X120e.  Don't get me wrong, I like my X120e... it's just been a "learning" experience lol

  • Screen freezes, even in safe mode and in BIOS

    I’m working on a friend’s laptop: Toshiba, Satellite M65 - S9092
    Original problem: The laptop started shutting down after few minutes of use. (Probable overheating)
    Took the laptop apart and clean it out. The heatsink, fan and outlets were really plugged up. Put it back together and did a clean re-install, Windows XP. Had few issues with USB drivers not being recognized but worked it out. Ran stress test for a whole day, no problem.
    Worked for few days and then USB wasn’t being recognized again and the screen started freezing up. Re-installed os again but it is still freezing up after few minutes, and stays that way till hard shut down.
    Screen freezes even in safe mode and in BIOS. (No blue screens)
    Switched existing RAM’s around (2 - 512MB), one stick, two sticks, etc…still freezing up. Wanted to upgrade the BIOS but can’t get pass the screen freezing. Not sure if the motherboard may be shot from previous overheating or need new RAM. Don’t want to spend money till I’m sure I’m replacing the right part.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    Hi there... I have a satellite A70 - S256 an it was freezing up the same way. I downloaded an OS named UBUNTU fron the internet free of charge. once you download it an burn it to cd you can then boot from it after a couple of tries ( due to freezing). When it boots select your language immediately and choose the option to run memory tests (both installed and BIOS) and let it do its thing for as long as it takes. you should boot from UBUNTU on another working pc to get familiar with it if you are not allready so that you make your selection quickly before it freezes.  You may have to reboot a few times depending on freezing while the memory test is in progress and how much progress is made. This procedure fixed mines and I never had those problems again.

  • HP Envy 15 Heating Issues and Screen Damage

    Hello,
    This is going to be quite long since I'm going to explain everything in as much detail as possible.
    I bought my HP Envy 15 (j123tx) in September 2014 and for three months I had absolutely no issue with it (work wise and gaming wise) until one day I booted up the computer and noticed that a big rectangular portion of the screen (on the top - in the rectangular area that aligns with the touchpad when the lid is closed) was discoloured. Specifically it was much darker than the rest of the screen on a black background and yellow on a white background. 
    After checking to see if there was anything on the screen's surface, I realized it was a hardware issue and decided to use my warranty (of which I have another 8 months or so remaining). I told the retailers about the issue and they told me it could be because of the pressure applied on the lid (when it is closed) that affects the screen specifically in that area since the touchpad is a bit sunken in to the notebook's body. After expressing my displeasure at how inconvenient that is since I've taken very good care of my notebook and have only transported it in the HP notebook bag, they promised me that they would send it to the HP Service Center in Sri Lanka who would replace the display panel for me (obviously since my notebook is still under warranty).
    After 10 working days, I went over to the retailer's warranty center and collected my notebook with the display panel replaced and the problem gone. I did however notice that the technicians had pasted a note next to the touchpad which read "Check  the temperature of the touchpad. It could be heating up and damaging the screen". I asked the retailer's technicians what this meant and they told me that since the notebook has a magnesium (or magnesium based) body, it tends to heat up. The heat could also be heating up the touchpad (since that too seems to be made of magnesium). As a result whenever I close the lid of my notebook, the rectangular screen area directly above the touchpad could be heating up and thus getting damaged.
    Now this to me seems like a huge product defect. I've been using HP notebooks for more than 8 years and I've never heard of this issue before. I asked the technicians how I could prevent this from occurring again and they told me to use the little cloth that came with the laptop when I bought it that is placed under the lid (between the screen and the keyboard) when the lid is closed.
    While using that little cloth doesn't seem to be quite inconvenient, I'm very afraid that the problem will occur again and I'll have to get it fixed again which involves transferring all my data and losing my notebook for 2 weeks which is highly problematic for me as I require it for work. Should the problem occur again outside the warranty period, I feel I may have wasted a good amount of money on this notebook when I trusted HP over its competitors simply due to my past experiences with its reliability, durability and performance.
    While I realize this is not a current issue - I would really like to know if this issue has been experienced before (my search did not turn up anything related) and if I do have to be worried about it happening again and if so, how I should go about handling it with the retailers (perhaps I should give it back and ask for a refund for selling me a defective product).
    Thank you sincerely.
    PS: I have attached a picture of the problem when it occurred for your reference.

    Thanks for the prompt reply WeiH.
    Sadly there doesn't seem to be an HP Service Center in my country (Sri Lanka). So now I'm really confused as to what my retailer's technicians meant by "we'll send it to the local HP Support Center and have your display panel replaced".
    Whatever they did, the display panel has been replaced and I've been using it for less than a week so far with no issues. The touchpad hasn't really been heating up and has in fact been as warm as the rest of the notebook. Perhaps it's because I have now turned on the option of disabling the touchpad whenever an external cursor device is attached (since I primarily always use a mouse).
    Needless to say, since we both have no clue as to how the touchpad overheated and damaged the screen (in the exact position and measurement as the touchpad) I feel like it's just a matter of time before it happens again.
    Obviously I understand that there's little you can do on your side other than direct me to an HP Support Center. However I hope my worries are justified as I feel that as a consumer I shouldn't have to worry about my brand new product malfunctioning by no fault of my own.
