[Solved] [GE70-2OC] Cooler Boost button issue

Hi everyone,
I acquired a GE70-2OC in 02/26/2014 which i'm very satisfied with except for a little thing,
the "Cooler Boost" button doesn't work anymore, i tried many solutions found in the internet (including from MSI HQ forum) and i still don't know where the problem is ?
what i already did :
EC Reset
Did a recovery with the burned DVD (DVDs were a recovery of W8 and i was on W8.1 then W8.1U1)
Get back to W8.1U1 and updated all the drivers and utilities (last versions available on the websites MSI France and Global)
Updated the BIOS (with two distinct versions 617 then 517 following the step-by-step on MSI's site)
Updated the Firmware (with a reset of the EC after it for about an hour)
Uninstalled -> restarted -> CCleaner -> restarted -> reinstalled SCM -> restarted
after all this still got nothing after every step, so now i really don't know what to do, if anybody has any idea how to fix this i'll give it a shot.
little information : I did a little test "burn" to see if the fan's speed changes automatically and it did, so this means the problem is only with the button (or SCM)
I'm thanking you in advance

thank you for the help hch, so far it's the only key that doesn't work, i just tried all the FN keys they all work, i tried the backlight key (since it isn't a backlit keyboard so i have an IE window to this forum) but the cooler button does nothing
Does the booler boost button lights on when you press it?
So if you have update the latest EC from MSI website, the version should be 510?

  • MSI GE60 0ND - Fan Issue - Cooler Boost Button

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my MSI GE60 0ND. The fan / cooler boost button above the keyboard is always glowing and sometimes very light flickering. The fan spins at a normal and quiet level.
    When I press the button the fan starts spinning up and stays at the high level. The ligt of the button keeps glowing, but the flickering stops completly. When I press it again the fan goes back to a normal level, but the light keeps glowing.
    I recently updates the EC-Version, because I had an issue with my fan which was really annoying. Before the EC update my fan kept spinning up and down every 10-20 seconds.
    The temperatures ware always at a normal level. I own my MSI GE60 about one year. The spinning fan issue started just one month ago, but was fixed trough the update.
    Some detailed information about my notebook:
    MSI GE60 0ND
    Bios: E16GAIMS.10F (Release version)
    EC-Version: 16GAEMS1 Ver4.05
    I'm using Windows 7 x64 and tried also Windows 8.1 x64. Both have the same fan button issue.
    Installing / Uninstalling MSI SCM utility didnt make any difference.
    Regards
    Thomas

    fan is constantly spinning with the same, average speed. It goes faster when on stress but continue to spin when system is idle
    Bios Version: E16GAIMS.10F
    EC Version: 16GAEMS1 Ver4.05
    Sorry to spoil that, but the fan was indeed always spinning before, too. But very quietly at a low rate! You could observe rotational speed in RWeverything and it did NEVER stop with that notebook (GE60) and the EC-version 14.04
    If you want to go back, check out my post here. There are the old firmware files included as well. But read the readme.txt thoroughly first!

  • GE70 2OC - FPS drops, CPU throttling

    Im new to this forum so welcome everybody. Hope this is a right place to post and I hope you guys will be able to help me.
    I have a brand new MSI laptop, GE70 2OC model, with i7-4700MQ and Nvidia GT 750M.
    I am experiencing some overheating issues during gaming. When laptop is idle or I'm simply browsing the web the temperatures of CPU and GPU seem OK, in between 30-40 degrees (Celsius). The problem starts with gaming. Of course I'm using Gaming mode (as of power management) and Cooler Boost technology (without it I would be doomed it seems).
    After 15-20 minutes of gaming the lapop heats up pretty badly. The CPU temperatures exceed 90 degrees and the GPU reaches 80-85 degrees. Then come the FPS drops, every few seconds the game becomes unplayable for 1-2 seconds then its ok for few seconds and so on.
    I started diagnosing the problem and it seems that the drops are caused by the CPU reducing the frequency to 800Mhz due to thermal issues. Besides me being unable to play any more demanding game Im also worried about the life of laptop components...
    The only way I was able to stop this is to use ThrottleStop application and reducing the multiplier to obtain lower frequency. It stops throttling at 3.0Ghz but the temperatures remain as mentioned before. Still I think I should be able to use full power of a brand new machine not to mention such high temperatures IMHO affect the hardware during longer period of time.
    Now, is there anything I can do to fix this? If you guys need anymore information, please do not hesitate.
    Looking forward to your answer.
    P.S the temperatures where checked during gaming (in windowed mode) with CPU-Z, GPU-Z, CoreTemp and the built-in hardware monitor in ThrottleStop. They vary a little bit but these are neglectable differences. I also raised the back of the laptop to provide better ventilation, it may have same effect but it's insignificant.

    Most likely the heatsinks aren't seated properly or the heatsink compound wasn't applied correctly.
    This is fairly common, and I had the same problem with my GT70 0NE when I purchased it.
    It's fairly easy to remove open the bottom of the laptop up, remove the heatsinks and clean and re-apply the thermal compound, and then re-seat the heatsinks. Takes maybe 30 minutes if you're slow and careful like me.
    If you don't feel good about doing it, then I suggest doing an RMA.
    >>How to contact MSI.<<
    ALSO, as long as you don't screw anything up inside the laptop, the warranty will still be good. Don't worry about the sticker on the bottom. It's mainly there to keep people from opening it up, but you have to be able to in order to add more memory or another HDD/SSD.

  • GE70 2oc - low volume from both the internal and external microphone

    Hello,
    I have an MSI GE70 2OC and the following problem. The volume of the sound recorded from the internal microphone (as well as any plugged-in mic) is very low. Even when the mic is set to 100 and there is a boost of +30dB the sound quality is very poor, that is there's either a loud noise/static or a distorted sound (when the noise reduction is on).
    I have the latest audio driver installed (Realtek HD Audio, ver. 6.3.9600.16384).
    Is there a way to solve this problem?
    I'd be grateful for help!

  • Brand new MSI GE70 2OC battery won't charge

    Hi all
    I have a rare issue related with the laptop power system of a brand new GE70 2OC: basically, the battery won't charge.
    -In Windows 8, with the battery installed and charger connected to the laptop: the battery does not charge and drains.
    -If I boot with a linux live cd, exactly the same happens: there's no charging, and the battery is draining.
    And here we go with the mess...:
    -If I start windows8 only with the charger connected (battery removed), the computer turns on properly, windows start booting, but before showing the home screen, the laptop turns off. As if power were suddenly removed.
    -If I start the same way (only with charger, battery removed), and entered the bios, I can stay here forever: laptop doesn't turn off until I wan't.
    -If I start the same way (only with charger, battery removed) with a linux live cd, I can work without problems every time I wan't
    It's very strange... If the battery is not dead, I think may be some kind of BIOS or firmware issue, because the failure of "battery not charging" appears in any situation (turned off, in bios, in windows, in linux).
    The charger is not broken. It runs smoothly without battery in bios and linux.
    I tried a EC Reset. Nothing happens... ¿Any idea?

    Thank you both
    I'm still in the 7 days money back guarantee from the seller. I've contacted the shop, but still expecting for news.

  • Ad mediator casuing lock button issues?

    Hi everyone, i have developed a universal app for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. I have used the ad mediator in the Phone package. Today after my app was certified i discovered an issue, running the app then quitting it will cause the lock button to
    not lock the screen again but you can still shut down the phone, also if the screen is locked the you cant unlock it wilth the button or by double tapping, the only way to solve this is by soft-reset. I was able to reproduce it on a Lumia 925 and 520 however
    i after a couple of times i failed to reproduce it again. This issue is very similar to the official chive app issue:
    Reports of serious power button issue surface after installing theChive app for Windows Phone
    My app doesnt display any videos or GIF files, so it is not using any function to keep the screen on like the chive app did.
    Both apps (the chive and my app) are universal and both are supported by ads, however i am not sure about what ad control they used.
    So my question is: Is this a general bug/issue in XAML universal apps? Is it a bug in the ad mediator? or is it the combination or universal apps and ads that is causing this issue?
    Also did you encounter such issue? if so how did you solve it?
    Thank you all

  • MSI GE70 2OC BIOS update questions

    Hi all, I have the GE70 2OC model with a Windows 7 installed on a HDD drive.
    I want to replace the HDD for SSD and install Windows 8.1.
    I thought that I might use this opportunity to update BIOS because that was recommended to me to fix throttling issues while gaming. But here is where I have a problem. On this site:
    http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GE70-2OC.html#down-bios
    there are different versions to choose and I don't know which one to choose. Right now I have the E1757IMS.509 version.
    There is a warning not to crossflash the bios, for example from Win 7 version to Win 8 version because it may result in bricking the system.
    1. But which one do I have now? Is it the Win7 or Win8 version? I only know the number that I wrote above... Could you tell me which one to choose?
    2. Should I update the BIOS before replacing the disk and installing system or after?
    3. Maybe I should firstly replace the disk, install Windows 8.1 and then update the BIOS version to the one dedicated for Win 8.1?
    4. Which tool should I use to flash the BIOS so that the ME and EC firmware is also updated? Or is it a separate thing to do? I've read the stickies in BIOS section of forum but I'm completely confused, in every post there is something else written or recommended.
    5. Does it even make sense to update the BIOS? I mean, will it actually help with the throttling or was I wrongly informed? (I was told to do that by the moderator of Polish MSI forum but it doesn't make much sense to me...).
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    .5xx is the right one for your NB, .51E is latest one:

    if you planing to install/reinstall OS,
    install new BIOS 1st before OS is better

    use flash instructions included in .txt file inside archive, etc:
    http://www.msi.com/files/pdf/Flash_BIOS_by_UEFI_BIOS_Setup_Utility_en.pdf
    about EC its separate update, but can't advice since i don't your current EC version

  • Exit button issue in Captivate 5

    Hi,
    This is regarding the exit button on the playback controls. I have been using Captivate from version 2. Recently, started using version 5. When I published my simulation, the exit button is not working as earlier. It is also not working from- web server(IIS, Apache), when opened as pop-up as well. In local too however not working. I tried in both IE 7 and Firefox latest version.
    I have seen the response from Adobe on this issue on this forum. It was quite surprising; it did not talk about the solution at all;
    What I am not sure about is -
    1. Why the exit button was working earlier versions.. why is it not working in latest?
    2. Why should when simple code like top.close(); works fine (when coded inside the Captivate)?
    3. Why is Adobe not acknowledging the issue?
    4. Why there is no working around provided in the forums for this issue?
    Could anybody please help me understanding this problem? I am really frustrated.
    Thanks.

    Happy New to all as well!
    You are absolutely correct! The moment reporting is activated, the EXIT no longer functions. Although in my case, we are not using the time/slider bar but custom navigation buttons with an exit button on the last slide (and at the top of each slide).
    This whole EXIT button issue (not just Cp 5 but Cp 6 as well) is nearly bringing me to the point of tears! This is really ridiculous! I am in a tough position right now where my manager may be wondering if I am right person for this job because I cannot make a little EXIT button work in our lessons.
    "Solutions" or excuses that I have received
    - Just remove the EXIT button -- No, we use a standard corporate template which hundreds of employees are already familiar with. To remove the EXIT button and instruct the learner to just close the browser would be unacceptable and a rather inelegant way to exiting a lesson.
    - It is a tough issue that isn't Captivate's fault
      With all due respect to the awesome person who keeps stating that, I have a feeling that you have not used other rapid elearning tools. Building an EXIT button in all the other major elearning tools is easy and works every time.
    The source of my personal difficulty is that every other course that was built by previous developers (not using Captivate), all open in a child window and all have a working EXIT button.
    I believe the PRIMARY reason for this problem might be in the fact that... inexplicably... Captivate does not offer an option to start a lesson in a CHILD window (i.e. separate browser window). This is why no javascript in the world will allow the tab to close (e.g. EXIT button). Closing a tab or browser window via javascript only works when the same instance was previously opened by a script using the window.open method. In other words, you can only use the javascript method to close an instance that was spawned via javascript.
    This should explain why lessons published in Lectora (et al) always have working EXIT buttons every time and in every browser (minor exception is Opera for unrelated reasons).
    The second red box is just another one of my problems with Captivate 6 (not related to this topic).
    Solution????
    I've been racking my brain trying to modify Captivate's HTML/javascript in order to carry over the AICC (or SCORM - same process) variables into a child window.
    Like another participant stated, you can't simply rename the original index.html to index2.html and create a redirection like this:
    <script type="text/javascript">   
    window.open("index2.html","lesson","location=0,toolbar=0,status=0,resizable=1,width=975,he ight=600");</script>
    <body>
    Yes, I tried this as well... but unfortunately, it breaks the AICC to LMS connection. *BUT* I can promise one thing... using the above redirection, does guarantee that your EXIT button works every time! Pity the LMS connection breaks!
    QUESTION?
    Does anyone have advanced knowledge of javascript in order to code the INDEX.HTML to open the lesson in a child windows AND maintain a connection to the LMS?

  • IPhone 5 Power button issues after recent update.

    After this most recent update, my power button is not working as it normally does.  It takes two or three attempts to turn the phone off and more than once to turn it.  Sometimes it turns on and immediately turns off.  This is happening only after this update.

    Yes 7.1.2  I had a 7.1 backup, and no issues with that... but then I did a clean DL of 7.1.2 and once again with NO apps on the iphone power button issues... as mentioned.  So it is not the apps, nor songs, nor anything else...just 7.1.2  I am now running 7.1  no issues.
