T400 System board issues

Has anyone else been having issue with the T400 and the System Board. I have had 5 now that stop booting. All you get is the power light, battery light and the plug light when plugged in. Hit the power and nothing comes up. I tried removing the battery and same thing minus the battery light.

I am also facing the same problem. Looks like Lenovo is loosing it credibility and integrity, it previous used to have, especially for Thinkpads.
I am already living with WiFi problem for my T400. Now this System board issue. Really tech support also not good at all.

I have a MacBook pro that stopped working - mother board issue?

I have a MacBook pro that stopped working. Was told the mother board is bad. However, it still turns on and makes the normal start-up noises, DVD works and ejects, etc. - only the screen is out. Does this sound like a mother board issue?

It is a 15" MacBook Pro purchased new in October 2007. It has a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Due processor with 4MB shared level 2 cache, 2GB SDRAM, 120GB hard drive, and a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 128MB of GDDR3 SDRAM.
I read in another thread that there was a problem wiht NVIDIA video cards. Could this be the case with this computer? In the thread, the person indicated that NVIDIA was fixing these issues under warranty.
I was told by the Mac repair tech (not an Apple store) that the new motherboard would by $700 and not under warranty.

K9A2 Plat. board won't boot past NVRAM check

Just updated my K9A2 board from 1.5 to 1.9 hoping to solve some USB issues that were intermittently occurring when I connect my BB or other USB device (it would cause my primary video card to black out, the card's fan would race, thus forcing a reboot; after which it would be just fine).
However, after a successful flash from MSI Live 4 using windows, a CMOS reset, the system will not boot past NVRAM check with the RAID (10) SB600 controller being used. I have seen it pass NVRAM check when the SB600 controller is off. I've even reset the RAID 10 and nothing is happening to get the BIOS past the NVRAM check.
I've also attempted to use the MSI USB flash utility 1.18 however it stalls out 3/4 of the way through on my other k9A2 system (DOS window disappears at the last stage, last DOS box window shown here: https://forum-en.msi.com/moderator/usbguide/guide4.jpg)
My other K9A2 system is at 1.8 and doesn't have the USB detection problems but it has a Sb600 problem in running all 4 discs detected normally (#4 disc always reports in error even though its running fine, could never figure out why it is not detected and have replaced it 2x, rebuilt it other times as well and it changes the failed disc in the array around so I'm thinking its the controller firmware).
With that being said, is there any way around this NVRAM check? The BIOS looks fine in the system and RAID is detected normally and can be built/deleted etc; just this NVRAM check stalls it out.
Please advise.

Have you done this?

I tried MSI. K9A2 Platinum Support issues.

Do not buy MSI.... Buyer beware.
I have the MSI K9A2 Platinum motherboard. Now the board runs fine. However I find it very hard to take this company seriously anymore.
6 months ago I tried Flashing the Bios for a CPU upgrade I wanted. MSI's website boasts its mother boards that have 64 bit capabilities. However if you use a 64bit OS. Namely Windows XP or Windows Vista. You are in big trouble. The Live updater doesn't work with it. Not at all. Install it and it gives you errors that it will not launch.
Now any one that has flashed a bios before will say. "Okay I will do it manually." (Or if you don't know what your doing don't touch the Bios) So you download the Image file you need. Launch your boot disk from the A: Drive and well you can't access the Image file you have placed on your C: drive because hey it doesn't recognize Sata. So pray you have an old IDE laying around or you will have to load it to a cd. Oh but, hey again you have sata still doesn't see it. So usually you load it onto the disk. No big deal right? Well now on their readme it warns against Flashing from a floppy or CD (If you don't understand what I meant I am saying they warn against having the flash file on the boot disk Floppy or CD). So because of this I called MSI and had them walk me through the process because I wanted to be sure I am doing this right. I have done it many times before but for some reason it's a fricking process now. So we made a CD booted and ran it like you would off the A: drive everything went smoothly and then it froze. at 60% into the flash it froze so the guy tells me just reboot. I warn him that if I reboot the Motherboard is junk. He insists it should be fine. I reboot and as expected nothing happens because it was a bad flash.
So they say just send it back they give me an RMA number I remove the board package it and take pictures of its condition. I say again I took pictures. (The reason I did this is if you look at the reviews of this board on Tiger Direct there is complaints of them getting the board and claiming it is damaged. They email you a picture and claim it something you did. they then send it back to you.)
So I send it out. Wouldn't you guess they say it's Damaged they send me some nice pics in an email. So I send my pics of the board in the condition I sent it. There is no damage on the board they can see. They now claim it's the shippers fault. Shipper insists package arrived in great condition. MSI still refuses to help even though they know I sent them the board in great condition.So MSI is very poor in taking care of it's customers through RMA
So I send it back to Cyberpower. I explain to them what happened and they replaced the board free of charge and flashed it to current specs at the time. Bios Version 1.4. Now I work with computers. Part of my work is seeing the ease of how user friendly things are like Bios updates. How new processors perform. So now I was stuck in a dilemma 6 months after the first Now I need Bios version 1.6 installed. Well this time I took it to geek squad. They said it shouldn't take long and I waited in the store 3 hours and watched this person pull their hair out. All the normal ways of flashing the Bios don't work yet again. He goes to use the Live Updater and again 64 bit systems not supported. So he is baffled because why would a company that supports a 64 bit Processor not support the OS. Good question. Now I see more of the geek squad coming over all them ask it's not MSI is it. They get their answer and sigh. Now what they thought was a 15 minute procedure turns into me having to leave the system for a night.
The next day It is completed. What did they have to do? They installed a IDE drive booted from a floppy and loaded off the drive with the Flash file. Having to take the PC apart taking out Cd roms and running the ide via my CD rom IDE. Now I know a lot of you are going to say they didn't know what they where doing and I am telling you They did everything I did which is what MSI walked me through and hit the same road blocks. during the Reboot one of the guys wanted to try MSI live updater 3 and some how it worked..
So I called MSI today and asked them if they now support 64 bit OS with their instant updater. The answer was no. They stated they still do not support that. I checked my Bios version and some how it did worked. Who knows maybe they did it when they had all the other stuff out and apart and I just didn't notice. But MSI is Claiming the contrary. So I am happy that I have the update. However knowing that I am going to need to update again I now have come to the conclusion that MSI is not a user friendly board in fact it took 4 people at geek squad some of whom I know and see do flashes all the time and they had trouble. I do flashes all the time and I have trouble.
The bottom line here is MSI needs to hop on board with what they offer. Everyone is going to the 64 bit OS mainly because of RAM. They want to run Crysis, Farcry 2, Mass effect, and have the fastest processors available. They want the best video cards Available. But if your manufacturer Builds 64 bit based motherboards that are suppose to support the AM2 Platform then you would think that they would at least have an updater capapable of working with those systems. Now it's not impossible to make something like this work, Nor is it hard. There are other manufacturers who do have easier ways to flash than MSI.
Playstation 3 does firmware update all the time over the net. What is a firmware update? to put it simply it is a Bios flash to update how the machine works with newer software or to take advantage of existing technoligy in the PS3. Which is put simply just a computer. If a company that makes these systems can't even get a live updater to work or does not have the ability to walk you over how to do the flash the flash over the phone correctly why waste your time and money with a lazy company. I have an Asus machine that flashes.
Take this however you want. It could be taken as venting or a warning. Hopefully the MSI forum admin will forward these concerns to MSI before he bans me.

I am not here to argue but, the fact that you as an administrator can sit here and say there is no money in 64 bit obviously are speaking from a point of view of Bias.
Walk into any Bestbuy, call any Dell call center, Call CyberpowerPC.com, or call Microsoft. These are the systems that are in demand.
Best buy states that there 64 Bit OS based computers are flying off the shelves. and that 90 percent of the computers they now carry are 64 bit installed with Vista. In approxomatly 11 months windows will only be making Vista and the New windows 7 in 64 bit. It doesn't matter what you think it does. It matters what the market is demanding. There is tons of money in this and if MSI doesn't get on board soon they are gonna lose to competitors that do.
Where would we be if we stuck with 8 bit? What would have happended to the gaming industry if Sega never came out with their 16 bit platform?
Mention MSI to any geek squad guy and they just laugh and say go Asus. Sure you may not value their opinion. But the public who take it to them cause they don't understand computers does.They even say They(Geek squad) are easier to maintain with processor updates with some one who has experience that means something too. Sure I know to use the Utilities now because of these forums which I am thankful for. However: I represent those who are not capable and computer literate and the idea here that we should let them fend for themselves is preposterous.
Plus the fact that you don't use 32 bit software does not speak for those of us that do. There is 64 bit software out there. If your going to sit here and represent MSI. First you need some suggestions and you don't have to take em.
First off answer questions with out the criticism to the 64 bit OS. Just try and help the people regardless of your opinion.
Secondly you need to lose this idea that there is no market for 64bit software. There is. Trust me I report to people who want to see what is in demand. 64 bit is in great demand (Mainly because of ram and yes people don't realize that there really never going to use it. However; The market is pushing this so when it does come out and they do start using it there won't be a mad rush to update everything again.)
Last... Maybe you should get on this company as well. This may be a user forum but, to be honest I am here criticizing them as on many other sites so they can hopefully get word that there are many people aside from me who are complaining about there support and they can improve it. MSI has some great innovations but they need to make sure they support all the new hardware and software that goes along with being in this type of business. Criticism helps drive us as Human, as companies to do better.
However I do value you and your opinion and will even be submitting a report of this forum and how helpful it is to those who are not so good with the computer or just starting out doing it on their own. You can lock this if ya like. Please don't take offense either as I think you have some knowledge that is really worth sharing to many others. I have seen some of your other posts after your replies and you definitely have some great input. Thanks for letting me debate with you.

Is USB part of Logic Board issue?????

I am ignorant about computers, so I just learned this past week that both of the USB ports should have been working all along. I have had this computer for almost 4 years; only one has ever worked and I recently damaged that one. I was told that the 2nd port could not be repaired to work because of the board needing to be replaced. Is this part of the repairs Apple is owning up to?

Hi, Sheila. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
No. The iBook Logic Board Extension Program is for display issues only.

Graphics card/logic board issues: Macbook Pro Freezing during Apple Hardware Test!

I have a macbook pro that was working fine then the screen started acting funny. It would sometimes "tile" up where you would see the same issue repeated over and over on the screen and then computer would freeze. Sometimes the screen would start to have a strobing look and then freeze. I thought the computer was crashing but once the screen froze but the processor was still running. I knew the computer was still processing because I was streaming a video online and the audio from the video continued to download and play event though the screen was frozen.
I went to the apple store and they said they think it sounds like failure of the hardrive, graphics card, display, logic board. A new hard drive was just put in the computer about 4-6 weeks ago, and if it is the other issues could be $500-$800+ to repair. I tried to use the Apple Hardware test (non-extended test) but it keeps freezes at 2 min 32 secs every time when it starts "testing the main logic board"....
Has anyone seen anything like this and have another way to test what the problem could be? Thanks!

I know you're in denial, but it really does sound like the motherboard or graphics board which is integrated with the motherboard. Yes, fixing these things will cost almost as much as a new MacBook Pro. Get a new one, take the HDD out of your old one, and start over again.

*INSTALLING I/O BOARD ISSUE.....

I just installed a new I/O (left) board for my MBP. I still have the cover open and when I plugged in the power-cord, the LED Light blinks (but very faintly where it's almost solid and you just see very light blinking)...and I also hear a ticking sound)....I only listened and looked at it for a few seconds and then I unplugged it because I don't think it's normal. I did this a few times to see if it would stop but it hasn't. I never tried to press the power button yet.
Is anyone familiar with this issue? I'm positive everything is connected the right way....

Note, you posted in the new MacBook Pro forum, which refers to the MacBook Pro that was released two weeks ago. Installing an I/O board on such a machine if it becomes damaged, in most likelihood would void your warranty. Since no one here works for Apple, we can't say for certain if it would be voided, but reading of the warranty basically precludes "unauthorized modifications," which swapping the I/O board would appear to be one of them. If your machine is older than a year old, and you haven't purchased AppleCare, these places may repair the machine at a certain cost:

This forum discusses using the elder MacBook Pros:

If you purchased AppleCare, or the machine is under a year old, let this be a lesson learned not to do any hardware installs yourself, not recommended by Apple's own support pages:

Mail and Key board issues with Mavericks 9.2

I am using a Mac Pro and have just uploaded Mavericks 9.2 upgrade.
I am now experiencing erratic response to key board commands, while typing and Mac Mail is sometimes unresponsive. My epson photo stylus 1400 printer driver also bacame unresponsive. This issue was resolved by uninstalling the driver, re-installing the original driver >reloading the upgrades from Epson via software update>adding the newly installed printer to the preferences. Presently the printer is working just fine, but the Mac Mail menu bar is blinking uncontrollabley and is unresponsive until I quit it and reboot the program. Anyon else having these issues?

Problem resolved by restting the PRAM.

New K9A2 platinum board arrived today, some questions before I start..[update]

Hello all,
I got it for the upgradeability from AM2 to AM2+ since I don't have the cash to buy all new components now. I'll get a phenom and new memory in a few weeks.
For now I have an AMD64 X2 5600+ and a pair of corsair ddr2 800 XMS 1GB sticks (2GB total).
Are there any memory gotchas I need to know about before starting, or a particular bios version I should use?
I'd like to not fry anything when I power it up, or end up needing to reinstall old mobo to get to internet and find help.
Should default options pass POST with this setup?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty down with reinstalling my OS's (gentoo and winxp) and have done this a bit when upgrading motherboards (been through 2 in the last few years).
Edit: actually a recompile with Gentoo or repair with windows. I haven't needed to do a full reinstall. Figured I should be a little more concise.
I just want to make sure there's no gotchas specific to MSI K9A2 platinum I should know about which are game breaking unless you tweak some BIOS settings before first POST with older components like the cpu and memory I have.
PSU is single rail 750W SLi certified, case is antec 900.

DDR1066 isn't much faster then DDR800, however, the Phenom only supports 2 sticks of them, with more the speed drops to DDR800 anyway.
This is a CPU matter, not board or chipset releated, as the memory controller is INSIDE the CPU.
Awesome info man. thx... I knew the AMD64/Opterons have had IMC for a while but didn't know about this limitation with 1066.

Logic board issue discussion

Hey everyone, while waiting for answers on my other post, I'm going to start this discussion to see what you guys think of this on going logic board problem. (To see my situation look at my other post.)
I think this logic board problem is very similar to the "Windows Vista" problem. They are rushing to produce so many logic boards that the quality they produce is complete junk. Alot of people are having this problem but why has Apple not yet fixed this issue? I have read alot of posts of getting the board replaced only to find out that the replacement board is also faulty.
     Right now I'm just very aggrevated because the closest Apple Store is an hour drive into the city (Melbourne, Australia). I made that trip yesterday and waited as the replaced the Hard Drive and RAM only to find out today that the problem is probably the logic board. I really want to get my MBP working as I am a student and a musician. I thought this was going to be more of a good investment and not a big headache.
     Also what is the process to getting the Logic Board replaced? How long does it take? And for people who are out of warranty, how much will it cost?
     Luckily, I guess, I bought this Macbook about 2 weeks ago so I am still covered by the warranty but it is a shame that I actually needed the warranty after 2 weeks of the purchase.
     I want your opinions! =) I do like Apple but right now I am just really frustrated >=(

Hi Bruce, sorry to hear of your frustrations. First off, Apple doesn't make logic boards. Heck, Apple doesn't make any of the parts under the hood of your computer. I'm surprised that on a two week old computer they didn't just offer you a replacement. Was the computer purchased through Apple or did you buy it 3rd party?
When you say... "alot of people are having this problem." What are you using for your sample size? How many, what proof do you have that there issue is the same as your issue? Is it with the same make/model computer that you have?
A logic board replacement is a pretty straight forward replacement. A good tech can be in and out and have service verification in about an hour (uninterrupted). Typically though the process is a 3-4 (or more) turn around at Apple Stores, simply because they will sometimes need to wait for the part and your machine may not be first in line at the time it is received.
Out of warranty logic board replacements are very costly, definitely the most expensive component to replace in the machine.

K9A2 Platinum RAM issues

Hey.
I recently purchased this board and have been trying to get it to run stable using 4 sticks of twinmos PC2-5300 2GB DDR2. I managed to get it running to the point where I was able to boot into windows by setting the ram voltage and CL in the bios. But after getting a blue screen while running vistas windows experience test. I am unable to get the machine to boot with anymore then 1 stick of ram in there. Is there any extra settings in the bios that I can use to make it more stable? The only settings I changed was the first three in the advanced ram timing option, which i set to 5 for each one. I skipped the fourth option and set the fifth option to 15, I also adjusted the ram voltage to 1.80 V. I also tried upping the voltage to 1.90 but it did not seem to help. My full system specs are as follows.
MSI K9A2 Platinum
2x HD2900XT
4x Twinmos PC2-5300 2GB DDR2
AMD Sempron 3000+
Western Digital 1TB SATAII 7200 rpm HDD
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Can't say, maybe CPU-z programmers are not that far yet on reading that info.
It involves a whole lot of AMD techdoc reading and testing to read values out of the CPU, and they changed the memory controller / working another time, so I can imagine it will take a few more version for them to have that working.
BTW dude, see FAQ (http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php#faq)

MSI BIOS Beeps and Mother Board Issues

Hi gang,
I am new to this forum. I am a tech at a small town PC store. I have an msi mother board that is throwing an error beep that I have never heard before. The beeps go something like this 1-2 a high pitch beep, then a low pitch beep. The mother board is the MS 6526 Ver. 2. I have tried another video card and the board will still do the same thing. The mother board does not act this way all of the time. Sometimes the machine boots fine and runs perfect. I have noticed that when restarting the machine, the problem occurs there most of the time. the machine will reboot and set there with an amber light on the monitor. I can turn the machine on and off a couple of times and then it will boot and run; this pattern is not consistant. I felt that it could be a bad processor or mother board. Any ideas?
Thanks

If the beep code is 1 long beep followed by 2 short beeps then that's indicating a problem with the display card. Perhaps it could even be an issue with the slot itself. If you try a PCI graphics card instead of AGP do you still get the issue? Have you tried a different power supply too?

Message Board Issues

For some reason, whenever I try to post on an Invision Power Board forum, my Safari crashes and restarts. What can I do to fix this?

Well, I got my first Creative MP3 way back in 2004 and that was the Zen 20gb (the black brick) and it is working even today without me having to bring it down for servicing. I suspect that I will probably grow bored of it before it dies.
I also got a Creative MuVo V200 about the same time and although it is still working, I stopped using it because the screen is too small and now the memory size is too small. But it still makes a nice thumbnail **bleep** radio.
I got two new Zen, one 4gb (September 2007) and a 2gb (January 2008). Both are working great now. However, the 4gb did die a month after use and I got a replacement in October. The replacement is working great no problem as yet. I guess it probably all ends up with luck because if the failure rate is high, they would have issue a recall or something. So far each time I visit the Creative Stores in Singapore with the Service Centres, they are usually very empty, the most I see is like ?or 2?customers at the service centre. Most time, nobody is there.
I love my Creative products, I am currently using their keyboard, sound card. headphones and earphones.Message Edited by eddy2099 on 0-20-200808:09 AM

Ive a problem with my mbp model A1260 (logec board issue)

ive bought mbp 15" 2.5 Core 2 duo from USA in 12/16/08 from macMall, i heard there is an issue in this logic board model and if it doesn't pass 4 years from date of buying it still in warranty the question, Now it stooped to work and iam in Egypt what and were to go or to do?

Where did you hear this? I believe it needs to be a nvidia issue. Have it checked out by an Apple store or AASP.
