Self-adhesive plastic part on bottom of MSI H55M-E33?

Hi,
I just got an MSI H55M-E33 from my retailer. The problem is that I have the feeling that the board is not new (someone may had already installed it).
I found a small piece of black self-adhesive plastic on the bottom on the board which I had never seen before on any MoBo I have installed before. The black plastic part is about 1x3cm large and sticks on the bottom of the MoBo next to the IDE-port.
Is this a regular part of the MoBo or is this something that doesn't belong there? Has anyone recognized something like that on a brand new H55M-E33?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

That doesn't sound right.  Here is a reference image of the bottom of the board as it should look fresh from the box:

  • MSI H55M-E33 MB OC

    Hello everyone!
    I got an MSI H55M-E33 mother board paired with an i5-760 currently running at 3.6 ghz, unfortunately thats the maximum i ever managed to get it to, i was wondering if anyone has the mentioned motherboard and ever managed to get to 3.8 or 4.0 ghz oc.
    I have bios version 1.0, was always paranoid to flash it to a newer one since i never had issues with it, the annoying thing is i cant seem to find the QPI/VTT voltage option so my oc is that limited, i asked around and i have been told the newer versions of the bios still dont include the option but im sceptic to be honest, there must be the option now a days!!. If anyone has the latest bios version for this mobo can you confirm its got all the required options to be able to run this cpu at 4.0 ghz?, if the options are not there, how the hell did you manage to get to 4.0 ghz with just the vcore voltage control!?
    Thanks in advance everyone.

    There are potentially two reasons for that.
    1. The components on the lower end boards are unable to cope with higher overclocks and the increased power requirements with such higher OC's add the risk of board component failure.
    2. The control circuits for manually adjusting these values just don't exist, meaning that even if they could add the lines in the BIOS, you still won't be able to change the values.
    You have probably exhausted the OC potential of that board.

  • Overclocking an MSI H55M-E33 with easy OC switch.

    Hi everyone,
    Im new to overclocking, tempted to overclock through the easy oc switch on the mainboard. Has anyone tried it out? how did it go?, but more importantly do i need to change setting from the bios or does it change itself automaticaly after the switches are on?, also do i need to turn off intel's turbo boost before i turn the switches on?, an explanation would be much appreciated since ive never done this before, thanks guys
    my setup:
    Mainboard: MSI H55M-E33
    Case: Coolmaster centurion 5
    CPU: I5 760
    Ram: 8gig corsair xms3 classic
    Cpu cooler: Noctua nh-d14
    Case cooler: Noctua nf-p12
    Graphics:  MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC (single unit)
    HD: X2 SEAGATE 500GIG 7200rpm

    Suggest you set your BIOS to default values first.
    Set your OC switch to its first OC stage and restart the system. Test for stability with something like Prime 95 and monitor your temps.
    Once you have established stability, you can try the second OC stage and repeat the stability testing.
    You may of course want to do some reading first in terms of overclocking your 1156 platform. OC'ing the system in the BIOS yourself is usually the best way to achieve this.
    Here is a nice guide that will take you through the process step by step. http://www.overclockers.com/3-step-guide-overclock-core-i3-i5-i7/

  • MSI H55M-E33 SATA Not Detected

    I've been putting together a new computer with this H55 board fresh out of the box. No matter what I do though all my SATA ports still show up as Not Detected in my BIOS for my hard drive or disk drive. I've tried all kind of combinations with every port. I've even taken out the CMOS battery for a while.
    Specs are:
    MSI H55M-E33 motherboard
    Intel Core i5-680 Clarkdale 3.6GHz 4MB L3 Cache
    Western Digital 1.0 TB HDD Model WD1002FAEX-00Z3A0
    Pioneer DVR-218LBK
    Corsair 850HX Power Supply

    Okay, so I cleared CMOS several times, and even tried a brand new hard drive and DVD drive with at least seven different sata cables and every sata slot I had. Still nothing showing up at all in CMOS.
    Also, here's my Bios: A7587IMS V1.1 012210
    I'm very new at putting computers together, but from my understanding Sata should pretty much be plug-and-play. Or at the very least plug-and-see.

  • Plastic part on bottom of iPod loose?

    So surrounding the bit at the bottom of the iPod where you charge it is a line of white plastic - the BOTTOM line of that is loose (http://i39.tinypic.com/1z5lmyq.jpg) so that I can push down on it with my finger nail and it clicks, then bends down
    Is it safe to try and put a bit of super glue in there? I tried to put a bit on a sliver of paper then slide it in, but it dried too fast and I couldn't fit it in. I know it's not that much of a big deal but it would be great if I could try and fix it now-
    Thanks for any help!

    -True.
    -I wouldn't really be confident enough taking the case off!
    - (http://www.ukipodrepairs.co.uk/fixmyipod/parts/6GClassic) - which one would I choose? Although (http://www.ipodrepaircentre.com/index.shtml) has an option for 'dock connector' which pretty much suits it.
    Thanks!

  • Msi h55m-e33 motherboard AHCI

    Hello, is it possible to enable AHCI mode on this motherboard because I cant find any settings for it in bios. Any help would be really appreciated.

    If you are changing to AHCI mode with Windows 7 already installed you need to enable the AHCI driver in the registry before you change the SATA mode of the boot drive. To do this, follow these steps:
    -  Exit all Windows-based programs.
       Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
       If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
       Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlS etServicesMsahci
       In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify.
       In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
       On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.
    After this you’ll have to restart your computer, go to BIOS and enable AHCI. When you log in to Windows again, you’ll notice the installation of drivers for AHCI. Another restart will be required to finish the driver installation.
    If you have Windows XP read this post.

  • Where to buy new plastic parts for laptop

    Hi everyone, I have my laptop (HP Pavilion DV7 7020ec) for more than two years and because of the everyday use it has significantly scratched plastic parts around the display, on the back page and several other scratches all around its body part. What is more, the parts which are connecting screen with the rest of the laptop are broken too and I am just waiting to tear the whole screen. Therefore I have decided to buy a completly new  case for whole notebook - can you tell me where can I buy such thing? I am from Denmark. Thank you

    The parts are usually available but you will not like the price very much. Plastic chassis parts are just way more expensive than you would think they would be. However, if you are dead set on this here is the Service Manual:
    Manual
    See the exploded diagram on page 22 and let us know which exact parts you need and if they are available in Europe we can help you find them. 

  • Can anybody help with this........I've bought a pack of self adhesive lables with a view to printing them via my printer,  However, I can't find a programme that allows me to do this.  Personnel in the MAC shops don't know either!!  I've a IMAC running on

    I've bought a pack of self adhesive labels that I wanted to print up on my IMAC,running on Snow Leopard.  However, I can't find a programme that will do this, nor can the personnel in the MAC shops.  The labels are stuck on a normal sheet od A4, and I just want to print addresses on them.   Can anybody help?

    Are they Avery Labels? If so there are templates here:

  • Black plastic part under the screen is loose (MBA 11,6)

    The black plastic part under the screen is a little loose. If you press with one finger you push it in and it will move a bit. Anybody else got this problem?

    Hi, was it covered under your one year warranty, I opened my Macbook Air one day and heard a crack, when I looked in the back of the computer the hing had broken and something was hanging out of the back. When I tried to close it the screen turned green and then went off, so I took it to repair however was told it probably wasn't covered on the warrant. From googling the issue it appears that many other users have experienced the same thing. I'm assuming if enough users complain it will eventually become covered!

  • What paper type to choose for self-adhesive labels?

    Trying to tell my printer that I'm printing Avery self-adhesive labels. But I don't see any settings for label paper under paper type.
    What should I pick, "Specialty Paper"? "Other inkjet paper"?

    You choose a standard page size. Most labels are on an 8.5x11 sheet and in portrait orientation. So select that size if it's not already the default for the printer.
    I've done labels on many Macs and number of printers. Most of the time, a template for the various Avery labels and their clones is available within the program that generated labels. I've not seen a printer setting for labels on any of the 5+ printers I've used to make labels, going back to Mac OS 6.
    Example: In MS Word 2008, the is a menu choice in Tools > Labels... that helps you set up labels. The screen will show an image of the layout you selected from the "Labels.." option. Word inserts section breaks and columns that exactly fit the Avery number you chose.
    At that point you can fill in each label manually or, even better yet, use The Mail Merge function in Office to populate the labels with info from a spreadsheet or a Word table. It goes so fast that it's probably taken me more time for my challeged typing skills to hammer out this repsonse that to make a bunch of labels!
    PageMaker and, later,Adobe InDesign have similar templates.
    So what program are you using the make labels?
    TIP: I have both a b/w laser and an ink-jet printer. I almost always use the laser for printing labels that will go though the mail. The reason: laser lettering is waterproof. If the the letter has ink-jet labels and gets wet, the ink on the labels will run and be harder for our postal employees to read and deliver.
    Note that a laser printer requires a special type of label stock that will stand up the high heat inside the printer.

  • Replacing all macbook casing from chipping/scratche (all the plastic parts)

    Hi,
    I've had my macbook for about a year and it's had the usual level of surface scratching on the white plastic. I'm still under warrenty, and recently my laptop has been chipping due to the fairly well known design fault at the palm area (above the status light and remote sensor).
    However, can someone tell me if it will be fixed for free, and which parts will they replace? I was thinking of getting all the plastic parts replaced, if not, then the broken part (for free) and the front of the laptop (where the apple logo is). I'd be willing to pay the surplus. Will they accept this?
    Anyone got similar experiences dealing with macbook chipping/etc repairs? thanks.

    I can not believe Apple hasn't addressed this... first off the palm rest area where it chips is razor sharp - then it chips..
    I have had 4 prior mac laptops and WTH? Let's change something that has worked fine for 5 years and still charge 1,400 bucks. IMHO it is unacceptable and I would never recommend a macbook to anyone. And to upsell to a pro is BS. Wait till the nest design. Maybe Apple employees don't use macbooks?
    And to have to BUY a hard case for a design flaw??????????????

  • MSI H81M-E33 BIOS Issues and Post Flash Issues

    Hello,
    My situation is as follows: (TL:DR at bottom)
    Built a new computer and decided to use the new LGA 1150 refreshed CPUs. Bought the MSI H81M-E33 Motherboard and installed windows. Noticed a problem with the rebooting even when installing windows. Thought it was just because of the windows installation, but problem persisted in which the computer seems to shut down but doesn't power down and i have to manually hold power button to power down and then push it again to start up. No real issues it seems since the computer does close processes and shut down but this was irritating me. I read online that BIOS updates seem to fix this problem. Did some research and decided to update with M-Flash to bios v6.6.
    As I used M-flash to update to BIOS (selected "Select one file to update BIOS and ME") v6.6 the update stops at 47% and then the computer attempts to restart. BUT it still has the same problem and does not power down. So I manually powered down and started it back up. I then got "no signal" even as I waited. Now I'm freaking out and I power it down again and try again. This time I wait and it get to BIOS (MSI Screen) and then no signal again (not booting windows). Again I hold power down and power back on. Long wait again and I get back to bios. Still freaked out at this point but relieved I didn't brick motherboard.
    Decide to flash v6.5 in case 6.6 was too new and might some problems. However v6.5 has the same problems; bios update stops at 47%, computer attempts to reboot, can't reboot, I power off, power on, no signal, power off, power on, wait a while and it gets to BIOS (MSI Screen), then boots to windows.
    Right now the bios does read the bios version as v6.5 but I still have the issues in restarting where that doesn't really work. In addition, I now have this wait from pushing the power button to when I see BIOS (MSI Screen).
    TL:DR
    Had reboot problems decided to update BIOS
    Used M-flash ("Select one file to update BIOS and ME") to update to v6.6
    Update stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time nothing, freaked out, powered off, powered on, waited a while got to bios (Whew), checked for new version (it is).
    Decided v6.6 might be too new decided to try v6.5 used M-Flash again
    Again stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time, nothing, powered off powered on, waited a while got to bios, checked bios for new version (it is), save and exit, no signal, power off, power on, waited a while got to bios, then booted into windows
    My concerns are;
    I seem to still have reboot issue.
    I have to wait for BIOS now, no longer pretty quick start.
    My questions are;
    Did I mess up the flashing somewhere?
    Was stopping at 47% normal?
    Should I try to update the BIOS another method to fix my current problems?
    Am I missing a step somewhere?
    Any help is appreciated, I just got really freaked out by the whole process but I'm just glad the computer still works (kinda).
    Thanks in advance for any help, and apologies on the long essay just wanted to be as specific as possible.
