Hmm trying to flash the bios now but it's being stuck on the screen in the images linked to this post for about 15 minutes :S Have I bricked it? What should I do?

I performed a hard-reset and the computer still worked fine, it seems the flashing process never started. I noticed I had the USB stick plugged into the USB/eSata combo port...wonder if that made a difference. I'll try flashing again using a regular usb port.
Edit: This flash worked perfectly ) Don't know what happened the first time...
Thanks,
Pherein
well done  
the lockup behaviour exactly as described can hapends in very rare cases in ratio 1/100,
its hapends to me think around 4-6 times [from 500 ec updates one after another in a loop],
and in some very rare cases the EnE flasher hangs at startup and FAN spinup @100% and do nothing,
i suspect ec unable to enter in reset mode or its some kind of the EnE flasher bugs,[too small delay to wait the EC for reply]
but its not dangerous, etc: do not contain deadly properties.

  • Request: GX640 Fn and Ctrl swap

    Hi Svet,
    I'd like to request a Fn/Ctrl key swap for a GX640. You still handle older models like these, right?
    If so, is xx USD enough of a donation?
    Also I was wondering if it's important to mention that I have a Scandinavian keyboard layout - with ÆØÅ and such?

    Yep, but tell your current BIOS & EC versions [look in bios setup, system info]

  • Fn and Ctrl key swap for GX740?

    hi, I searched through some topics, I found out that there is a EC mod to swap Fn and Ctrl key for GX620, but does it work for GX740?

    No, it will not work and probably will kill your notebook if you attempt this.
    You can open an request for your notebook in correct forum section:

  • GT70 2PE FN and CTRL keys swapped!

    Hey guys,
    So this is a very weird problem: recently after a reboot, my FN and Left CTRL keys got swapped.
    I understand this happens at BIOS/EC level, but haven't touched/flashed those in a while. I've been using a custom BIOS provided by Svet for about 4 months, and never had any issues with it or keyboard problems such as this one.
    Anybody know what's happeneing here? How do I fix this? Thanks in advance

    Quote from: Svet on 12-April-15, 23:51:28
    huh
    can you check if they are swapped in windows only or also in bios setup or outside windows?
    and have you done EC reset? https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-reset-the-ec-embedded-controller
    Hey Svet, thx for fast reply,
    Currently I have a dual-boot configuration (Windows 8.1/Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, both 64-bit) and I can confirm it also happens in Ubuntu, so it must not be Windows related.
    Also I noticed one thing, when I went to BIOS to check current EC version all I found was something like this:
    EC Version: Sve???? Ver?.??
    EC Build: <a large string of numbers>
    if you want I can post a photo of this. So should I still reset the EC like you said?

  • MS-1757 Fn and Ctrl keys swapped

    Suddenly my function and control keys are reversed and I can't figure out how to turn them back. I've had this MSI laptop for over a year and I've never had this problem, Ctrl on the bottom left corner of the keyboard and function just to the right of it. Now, all of a sudden, I have to hit Fn + C for copy and all other Ctrl-governed shortcuts.
    Does anyone have any idea how to turn it back to the way it used to be?

    Have you updated BIOS or EC firmware lately? Maybe you should debug the issue beginning from BIOS and EC.

  • Request GX630 bios unlock overclock menu with fn and ctrl key swap.

    There is nothing to unlock in the BIOS that will allow you to manually adjust the FSB Frequency or anything like that.

  • Request: BIOS for GX740 to swap Fn and Ctrl key.

    hi,
    I was redirected from this topic https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=139362.0
    Apparently there is no BIOS function in GX740 for the owner to swap Fn and Ctrl key.
    Really appreciate it if it's available.
    Thanks.

  • Newbie: swap fn and ctrl keys on T60

    I bought a used T60.  I am used to using HP Pavilions where the Fn and Ctrl keys are in the opposite positions as on the T60, and I am having trouble retriaining my fingers.
    So i looked for info about how to swap them.  I understand KeyTweak doesn't work on the Fn key, and then I ran across a message about getting to the BIOS.
    I have never messed with BIOS stuff before, but I did interrupt booting, get to it, but do not see swapping the Fn and Ctrl keys listed among the keyboard options.  So I am guessing this feature is maybe in a newer verison of the BIOS.
    I don't want to trash my laptop, but I'd like to swap the functioning of these keys - is there an idiotproof way?
    Also, I used the onetouch Pavilion keys a lot to invoke Firefox or thunderbird.  Is there a way to make a key on the T60 keyboard do that?  There are several keys I never use for anything, like PgUp, etc.
    Thanks.

    Not exactly true. You can't swap the keys with ORIGINAL BIOS - there are modded versions available that will let you do it.

  • FN CTRL Keys Swap in X220 BIOS?

    Can someone with an X220 please verify that you can swap the FN and CTRL keys in the BIOS.
    Thanks.

    It should be there on all BIOS versions for the X220. I don't see why they would remove the feature.

  • Fn - Ctrl key swap reset after putting to docking station?

    On my X220 I enabled the BIOS option to swap the Fn and Ctrl key which works fine. However whenever I put the laptop in the docking station the setting is reset until the next restart.
    Did any body find a solution to this?

    Thanks, I took the survey. It's interesting the questions on there were asking about location of keys like page up and page down. I find the position of those keys are not that important to me because I don't use them that much and don't seem to mind looking at the keyboard to find them. Also they are almost always in different spots depending on whether you are on a desktop or laptop keyboard so I guess I'm used to unconsciously switching depending on which keyboard I'm on.
    But the left control key is one of the most heavily used, at least by developers like me (control+c to copy, control+v to paste, and control+space for code assist, shift + control + f to format code, shift + control + r to find resources, etc...). I have to hit that Ctrl button 1000 times a day. And the key is in the bottom far left corner on every keyboard (desk top and laptop) I've ever seen until now. Having to remember to look down at the keyboard to find the key is proving difficult and I think is actually hurting my productivity. Especially control+space (when you are expecting a popup to automatically complete the line of code you're working on and instead the screen blinks, resizes and your whole editor loses focus it really breaks your flow of thought, so thanks a million for helping me turn off the silly screen zoom feature).
    Hopefully I'll get used to it like with the other keys like page up and page down although I've had the laptop for two weeks and it's proving difficult. If I had know that Thinkpads have this layout and how maddening it would be to get used to it I probably wouldn't have bought it, even though everything else about it is great. It's amazing how such a small thing can become such an irritant.
    Well thanks again, and if anybody from Lenovo engineering is reading this post, my vote is for some bios setting on the T61P that swaps the functions of Fn and Left control key. It would save me a lot of grief anyway.

  • Function and Ctrl-Keys in HTML DB

    How can i use Function (F1...F12) and CTRL-keys in HTML DB ?
    1000++ thanks...

    Well, this won't give you the ability to use the Fn keys on a PC keyboard, but you can set your own AccessKey for various elements on the page. Check out:
    http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutorials/html_401/article.php/3479621
    It's been suggested at least a few times that HTML DB could support this in a declarative fashion.
    Hope this helps.
