Should I Update my Firmwar

Hi,
I just bought a Zen Vision and so far I think it is great.
I was trolling the Creative site when I came across the Firmware updates. Can anyone tell me if it is worth it to update from .30.02 to .40?
Though I am yet to use it I would not like to lose the FM Record function available in .30. Does anyone know why it was removed and if it will be coming back?
Also as an aside, has anyone had a problem with plugging certain output devices into the headphone jack of this player? One thing that I am try to use makes the player shut down as soon as it is connected? Strange? I assume it is a self preservation mechanism, but what for?
Thanks in advance,
Spud

You're very welcome.
Your notebook has switchable graphics...an Intel UMA graphics chip which uses shared system memory, and an AMD Radeon HD 7650M graphics chip, which uses discrete graphics memory.
The AMD GPU with its discrete graphics memory are still chips soldered and integrated on the motherboard.
That's what it means.  You assumed it was a removable card, and it is not.
There is no reference to a graphics card in your model on any of the official HP specifications for your notebook.

  • Should I update from SD23 to SD28 - Momentus XT

    I realize there are numerous discussions regarding firmware updates and the Seagate Momentus XT but fearing my question would get lost among the others..I'm starting a new discussion on it here.  If it needs to be moved please do so but at least it will have the opportunity to be answered.
    I am currently running the following:
    MacBook Pro 13" i3 2.3ghz with OS X 10.7.2 Lion
    Momentus XT 500gb with firmware - SD23
    Model:  ST95005620AS
    I've been running this______________^ since March 2011.
    My question is simple.  Should I update the firmware to SD28?
    The reason I'm so far behind is because I didn't realize there were updates.
    Thank you in advance,
    Phil

    Talked to Seagate representative:
    He addressed my question without any problem and directed me to the following link which identifies whether or not your hard drive has an update available.
    http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=207931&NewLan g=en
    There is a link within this webpage that checks your drive by model # and** serial #.  To those wishing to upgrade the firmware..check first.

  • Should I update my WRT54GS firmware?

    I have a WRT54GS V1.1 router. I haven't updated the firmware since I bought the router in December, 2004. It is currently at version 3.37.2 of the firmware. The latest version is 4.71.1.
    Should I risk a download?
    I'm trying to get my daughter's new notebook to work off the router. We haven't tried everything, but I'm wondering if I need to update the firmware. It always seems that updating or upgrading software causes more problems than it solves.

    If you are not having problems with that yet, don't... it's like a last resort thing...

  • Should I update Intel MEI Firmware or not?

    You know, there is this little chip on every last-gen laptop's motherboard (apple macbooks either) called Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI), and it has its own firmware that is upgradable. I'm currently running Windows 8.1 via Bootcamp on my MacBook Pro 13 (Late 2013 Retina, Haswell based), and it has the Intel MEI Firmware verion 9.5.3.1526, you can check it yourself using Intel MEInfo Tool (detailed info here):
    The question is, can I update this firmware with the newer one that is available (version 9.5.41.1904) here? Is it safe or not? Anyone tried?

    The benefits are the same as with BIOS\EFI update like bugfixes, improvements, etc. Probably, this new firmware resolves the known 30% CPU Idle issue, I don't know, but I want to try.
    You may want to create a system restore point before you update, so you can roll back easily.
    Zhyrnov wrote:
    Apple boards are nothing but the same Intel boards with Intel chips and logics using some kind of custom design, so I think it is not so much Apple-related thing.
    Apple has written a lot of their own firmware, the latest example is the iMac 5K with ATI cards, which have issues with WHQL drivers. GPU drivers are also similar. Another example is the absence of WiDi on Intel hardware, since Apple has their own AirPlay. It is worth a test, if you keep careful backups of Windows and the OSX to be prepared for disaster.

  • Many Ways to Update Your Firmware

    The reasons for a firmware update differ from printer to printer, however the instructions listed on the website are basically the same.  Some firmware updates are required to resolve a specific issue, others enhance features but are not required.  You will often find a list for what the firmware enhances or fixes listed on your product's support website under the firmware's download link (continue reading for more information).
    One method to determine if your product is up-to-date is to print a Printer Status Report or test report within the printer's setup menu which should indicate which firmware version the printer currently has.  Next, go to the printer's support website at www.support.hp.com and type in your product name to look under the drivers' section in order to see if your firmware version matches the most recent one found on the website.
    I have found a very useful tool to help you find out, not only if your product is in need of a firmware update, but also it will locate the serial number, product number, your current operating system and system type as well as the warranty status.
                                          --Automatically find HP Updates using HP Product Detection Utility (Google Chrome)--
                                          --Automatically find HP Updates using HP Product Detection Utility (Internet Explorer)--
    If you have ePrint functionality on your printer or a web-services menu within the front panel, in the ePrint settings, clicking Product Updates can quickly install the firmware, however, from a personal perspective, I would recommend ensuring the printer is connected via USB or Ethernet to avoid risk of the update being interrupted as this can cause permanent damage to the printer, rendering it useless.  This method may inform you no product updates are available so it is good practice to use my example above to be certain. Lastly, this will only work if your printer is connected to the network (Ethernet or wireless).
    To update your firmware from your printer (these instructions were taken from the Officejet 6500A Plus):
    "For easier use, HP recommends installing the firmware update through the product control panel instead of downloading the firmware update from this page. If your product is connected though a network (Wireless or Ethernet), you can easily and quickly install the firmware update directly through the product control panel. You must have an active Internet connection.
    If you choose to download the firmware update from this page, your product must be connected through a USB connection.
    Follow these steps to install the firmware update through the product control panel:
    1.  On the product control panel, touch the Right Arrow to display the second navigation screen.
    2.  Touch Setup, and then touch the Down Arrow to display the Web Services Setup Menu.
    3.  Touch Web Services Setup.
    4.  Touch the Down Arrow to select Product Updates.
    5.  Touch Check for Product Updates."
    Using the downloaded version from the website will ensure a secure connection and will require a PC.  You will find, your operating system will determine the type of firmware update you receive at the website.  That is why the above suggestion may work in some instances but not all.
    To update your firmware from your PC:
    Initial Step: go to www.hp.com/support and select the region you live in.  Under the Drivers and Download Tab, type in the name or model number of your printer and press enter.  Next, you will need to know the operating system of your device you intend to use to install the firmware update.  Click here to discover your operating system.
    Firmware Update Instructions (these instructions were taken from the LaserJet P1102w):
    "*Please use a 2 meter (6 foot) USB High speed (2.0) cable.
    1.Download the firmware update utility file to your desktop. Double click on the file.
    2. Select the printer(s) you want to update from the list.
    3. Click on the "Update All" or "Update One" button in the dialog window.
    4. Following the on-screen instruction to proceed the upgrade. During the printer firmware update, the printer's LEDs will begin flashing.
    5. Do NOT power cycle the printer or the PC during this process, or the printer may become unstable and/or unusable without further attention from HP. The firmware update can take several minutes to complete. Please be patient.
    6. To verify the update, a configuration page can be printed. The configuration page will display the current firmware revision in the product information section.
    Notes: If the firmware was already up to date, firmware was not altered. Otherwise, the Utility will display a dialog box at the conclusion of the successful firmware download indicating the download is complete."
    LaserJet utilities are different than the common smaller printers.  It is best to contact HP Support for assistance if you are not able to understand the difference by visiting the printer's business support website.  Large printers can come in such an array of setup options, from servers to software, what may apply to one setup may not apply to another yet it could contain the same printer.  If you have a commercial product, you may find additional assistance at the HP Enterprise Business Community which is an HP forum specific to those kinds of models.
    I feel certain I just do not have enough bandwidth to go into even a general perspective on the different specifications of how to update the firmware of your commercial product.  
    To update your firmware through the EWS: Some models allow you to update the device through what is called the embedded web server (EWS).  You can access this page of your printer by setting up the printer on a network (Wireless or Ethernet connection) and typing in the established IP address of it into the address bar of a web-browser (example: http:\192.168.1.101).
    Click here to view a forum post on how to update your printer through its EWS.
    System Requirements:  Ultimately no additional prerequisites are needed beyond what I have explained above.  You are required to have already installed the software specific to your printer for most firmware updates though.  Once you click on the firmware update link provided at the website, you will see which operating systems it applies to, however, some updates are not needed for all operating systems.  For example, a software patch may be a critical update for a computer running XP but would have no affect on a computer with Windows 8 or Mac.
    I have provided this information in order to explain a few of the techniques used to update your printer to its fullest capacity.  However, I have found through experience it is good practice to have an HP technician on the phone to assist you with this.  Sometimes the worse has happened in regards to power outages, "blips" in the network, or just bad luck and this step has caused the printer to go into a state that it cannot return from.  The terminology used to possibly revert back to a state prior to the firmware update is called "flashing the firmware" and this is only done via phone support and isn't a guaranteed fix.
    I do hope you find this information useful as this is a question I have seen many times on the forums.  This is simply a summary of the many ways to update your firmware in case one of the methods above are not working.  For a more specific description, access the firmware link you are trying to update and read it carefully or click here to link to another forum post.
    Click here to find an HP Support Contact in your region for further assistance.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

  • Problems re-connecting my PSP to Network, after updating to firmware 1.33NA on my D-Link DIR-655

    Hi everyone,
    Here is the 411 about my network
      Your Network Magic Version installed= : 5.5.9195.0-Pure0 
    The type of connection to the Internet, like DSL, Cable, or Verizon FIOS Internet Connection: = Comcast Cable 20K up / 5K down
    The Brand of Modem and its Model Number the router is connected to:   cable modem = ARRIS: TM602G/CT 
    The Brand, Model, Hardware Revision of your Router and include the Firmware Version:=   Router = D-LINK DIR-655 A3 Firmware (rev.1.33NA)
    The Method of connection your problem computer has to the Router: Wired or Wireless: Wireless
    The Connection in use on the problem computer: Wireless g/b/a on PSP
    Operating system and version and Service Pack Level, N/A      Also if any Anti-Virus Program or Spyware Program is actively protecting your computer.
    Include your location in the post or fill out your Profile for this forum and include the location. (Reason: Not all Routers from a given manufacturer are available everywhere.)    (Camden County)  Southern NJ, USA
    Post the link to your Router Model,  http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=530 
    And any other information you think is important if answering your own post, and the nature of the problem, itself.
    I have had a full functioning network with D-Link DIR655  hardware Rev A3 firmware rev 1.33NA,
    with 5 PC's Dell XPS 730x, Alienware m17x,  Studio 1747,Studio 1749(touchscreen) Studio, 14z all using Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit, and one Macbook Pro 17", Plus a Dell mini 9 hackintosh( I did purchase  Retail10.5.4  and I placed the Apple stickers over the Dell logo.[ also have a PS#, and PSP 3000 (both have latest Sony firmware updates.]
    All PC's with Win7 Pro x64,'s are connected using Network Magic Pro 5.5 pure-0, with the exception of the Macbook pro OS X 10.7 and hackintosh Mac X10.5.8  which both use the Mac version 4 network pro (Ver. for mac os x.) of which I bought a 3 pack, (To have them work with NWM 5.5 Pro, & share both files, and printers with the windows PC's)
    Everything was working great until I updated the firmware on my DIR-655 from 1.2NA to 1.33NA.
    Since then I have been unable to reconnect my PSP to the network. using  WPA 2 security, which is what I had before the firmware update. If it wasn't for the security additions, this firmware upgrade adds  to the router, I would have gone back to the previos version.
    Here is what I've done in attempts to fix, and then my final solution.
    In Network Magic 5.5, I have tried shutting off the network protection feature, and I also re-added the MAC Address, of the PSP to the Router's list of allowable hardware, when I added my list of all the others..
    The PSP will start the handshake with the router, and then pause at the getting IP address screen, and finally timeout.
    I is showing up on the Network Magic 5.5 Pro's Network Map area, which leads me to believe it is being seen and let in by the software's security feature.
    I also tried to manually add an IP address, for the PSP, using the IP addy, it always seems to grab via DHCP [192.168.7.172] only to have it timeout the same way as it did before, with DHCP
    As I needed Internet access to update the PSP and make purchases from the PSN, I decided to connect my older Linksys WRT54G (HW Ver 5) Ver.1.02.8 (I'm considering the DD-WRT firmware for all it's improvements) to the DIR-655 with a CAT 6 cable. Network magic see's this router, as I added it's MAC address to the D-Link MAC filter first.
    I was able to use WPA Security with this router and the PSP connected without any problem.
    I thought maybe something was wrong with the PSP-3000, but I'm able to connect to a friends Belkin router
    , using WPA 2
    I setup the WRT54G using the studio 14z, as it's the lightest of my portables, with windows on it.
    Should I add Network Magic 5.5 to the network that is my Router & PSP?
    [I have a older thinkpad, that runs Windows XP SP3, which has just been sitting around, and my NWM 5.5 
    license is for 8 PC's and 3 Macintosh Computers.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards in getting my network correctly secured once again,
    DakotaJoe

    I hate being the bearer of bad news, but from what I have read on the Forum and FAQ, you will need to un-install Network Magic from all of your computers making sure that no NM settings folders are left behind under users.  Then unplug all wired computers and rebuild your network by re-installing NM  in each computer before connecting it to your router.  After you have added all of your wired computers, set up your wireless network and install NM and add each wireless computer.
    That is a lot of work.  I hope this helps.

  • IMac G3 won't boot after updating the firmware and upgrading the OS!

    Hi! Everyone,
    I have an iMac G3 333MHz (five flavors) which comes with 192MB of RAM and 6GB of hard drive. Originally, it was OS 8.5.1 installed, later upgraded to OS 9.2.2. Of course, the firmware has been updated by the appropriate method provided by the on-screen instructions before the installation of 9.2.2. After successfully updating the firmware and installing Mac OS 9.2.2, the system booted up and worked fine. However, after shutting it down and powering it up a few days later, I have encountered a critical problem:
    1. At first, the iMac would chime and displayed a smiley-mac finder face.
    2. No question mark appeared and the system halted because it stayed at the same screen for about 5 minutes! Also, the keyboard wouldn't respond. For instance, the LED signal light wouldn't light on when Caps Lock was pressed.
    3. I assumed that this is just a typical crash and rebooted the machine via the "reset" button on the right side of the machine.
    4. After restarting, well, no luck, the same condition. Therefore, I rebooted it again by using the method mentioned above.
    5. The condition of sticking at the smiley-mac finder face occurred again! However, this time the iMac wouldn't chime and just displayed the mac face.
    6. Another restart, well, it was getting worse... no chime and no smiley-mac finder face but a white screen.
    7. I was frustrated then and shut the machine down forcefully by rebooting it again and pressing on the power bottom quickly before the screen appears. Also, I unplugged the power cord.
    ---------- After a few hours later ----------
    8. Okay, I then plugged the power cord in and booted it up again, this time, it would chime but stuck at the white screen. => No smiley-mac finder face appeared!
    9. Rebooted it again, the result was as same as step 8.
    10. Another restart, the smiley-mac face finally appeared but still... stuck here and this time, no chime.
    11. I then shut the machine forcefully by using the method mentioned above and let the machine rest for about a day with the power cord unplugged.
    ---------- After resting for a day ----------
    12. I booted it up and it would chime, but no screen (the power button was orange, not green). I then forcefully shut down the machine.
    13. Waited for about a minute and powered it up. This time, I tried to clear the PRAM, but no chime and gave me a white screen. => No luck! As mentioned, the keyboard's LED signal light wouldn't light on even though the Caps Lock key has been pressed.
    *Note: The keyboard has been tested on the other computers and it worked. Also, I tried different USB ports to plug the keyboard in. => The USB ports were all in working condition, as I can know from the last successful start up.
    14. Forcefully shut the machine down and tried to enter the Open firmware, no luck. It didn't enter and gave my a white screen.
    15. Conclusion:
    1) After resting for a while, the iMac would chime.
    2) Rebooting too much times would cause the machine not to chime and leaded the screen to become white instead of the smiley-mac finder face.
    3) However, rebooted the machine when the screen became white, the smiley-mac finder face would appear again without chime.
    By the way, I could hear the hard disk spinning up so that means the hard disk is working.
    Can anyone help me solve this problem? Is it related to the firmware update? Any suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks!
    Andy

    OK, I will try replacing the PRAM battery. Also, the PowerMac G3 and the other iMac 233MHz had the dead batteries. They are still working though... Should I replace them along with the iMac 333MHz? In case of not replacing, will they malfunction in future times? There are some symptoms on this two machines: 1. iMac 233MHz - No chime and no sound when adjusting system volume (the bi sound is not available), but iTunes and other applications can still use the audio device and output the sound via internal speakers; 2. PowerMac G3 450MHz - Will chime but sometimes hard to boot: 1) Chime but no screen; 2) No respond after pressing the power button => the power signal light won't light on. Every time I experienced this, I would open its case, pressing a small button (not quite understand what it does... anyway, just works if system halted.) near the PRAM battery and wait for about a minute, then close the case, and it boots. However, I have to reset "Date & Time"...

    The following support article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running 10.7 or later) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime.

  • Updating N95 Firmware! Some important questions

    My N95 is currently running on V20.0.013. A major improvement in update were found in V20.0.015. Now a days the latest firmware is V21.0.016.
    Q1. If I update my N95 to 21.0.016, then would I get all the improved features of V20.0.015 as well or should I update my N95 step wise, i.e., first to 20.0.015 and then 21.0.016 to have all improvements. In V20.0.015, there were improvements in menu structure.
    Q2. I have pre-installed multi language dictionary on microSD card provided in the sale package. If I update my N95 to V21.0.016, would this dictionary still work or I have to re-install it again?
    Q3. Is there any problems which anyone encountered after updating N95 to V21.0.016? Any draw backs of this latest V21.0.016 software?
    I totally depend upon you technical guys, and always get satisfied with the nice cooperation of this forum members. I hope you'll guide me this time as well.
    Regards to all

    Hi erehman,
    Some answers to you here.
    A1. A new firmware will always wipe out everything in the phone memory. Absolutely no need to update first to 20.0.015. Go straight to 21.0.016.
    But the previous firmware to 20.0.15 was 13.0.003.
    A2. After an update of a firmware you need to reinstall everything. The memory card, though, is not affected and you do not even have to keep it in.
    A3. There may be some problems or odd functions, but all together the 21 firmware is better than the 20 firmware.

    @  Pradeepcmst
    First my sorry for late  reply. Still we did NOT start 10g r2 installation on OEL 5.5.
    Please have a look ,if we missed anything , kindly forward it.
    I have received some warning messages (when executing oracle-validated command ) and separately we did NOT use update command using yum.
    Ex
    # yum <package_name> 
    -  Is this necessary before issue  following  command  => # yum install  oracle-validated.
    >> What we did  - I am pasting here >>
    # cd  /etc/yum.repos.d
    #  vi  cd.repo 
    [cd]

  • Updating the Firmware?

    Can this be done on a Mac yet?
    Or is it still a pc only option.. As i'd love to update my external pioneer drive firmware.. Come to think of it, i'd love to update the internal one too.. But Matshita never seem to update the firmware :o(
    Regards

    Well if that was the case.. I would of had one by now.. The only time Apple updates the firmware for the superdrive.. If a problem occured.. The firmware updates corrects new types of media and so on.. or new types of dyes used in different media.. Something that shouldn't really concern Apple
    But Superdrive makers.. It should concern them.. But they aint interested one bit.. Thats why when you contact them, you never get a reply.. But if you had a Pioneer Drive they are most aware that having the most up to date firmware is important, to both their drives that the users of their drives

  • Double NAT error status after updating to firmware 7.1

    This may be a bug. My Airport Extreme was working perfectly, but after updating to firmware 7.1, with no other changes to configuration, it is now reporting a Double NAT error. Both wired and wireless clients still have access to the WAN and each other, so everything still works. I know I can ignore the error, but I wonder if anyone else has seen this issue?
    I have a possibly unusual setup -
    My DSL modem creates an address of 192.168.1.47 and hands that to the APE as its WAN address. I've configured the APE to hand out addresses to its client machines on the LAN in the 192.168.2.x range and it does that correctly. So there is no actual conflict - the WAN address is 192.168.1.47 and the client addresses are all in the 192.168.2.x range. Could the new software be assuming that the 192.168.1.x range is the NAT range without verifying the actual range is really 192.168.2.x? Seems unlikely, but it appears to be the case.
    Any insights on this appreciated....

    When iTunes attempts to sync photos from iPhoto, it shows the amount of the iPod drive taken up with photos, BUT NO usage on the drive graph itself.
    When Sync Photos from iPhoto is deselected and another sync attempted, iTunes asks if photos should be removed from iPod, despite the previous sync being unsuccessful. When I choose to remove the photos, the amount shown taken up by photos disappears.
    Does anyone know what the error message quoted in my question above means?

    Put your phone in DFU mode,
    Hold the Power Button (3 secs)
    Continue holding the power button and also hold the home button (15 secs)
    Release the power button while continuing to hold the home button (10 secs)
    Your device should prompt with the "Connect to iTunes Screen"
    Restore.
