Thunderbolt no display after firmware update (Windows only)

hi folks
it appears my thunderbolt 27" is 50% dead... after doing the firmware update (i think it was 1.2), my thunderbolt is now dead in Windows.
it works perfectly in Mac OS X, and is detected correctly and 'all.
as soon as I boot with it into Windows 7 x64, the screen is just black, and my mouse also has no lights.
Bootcamp is running at 4.0 in Windows
it's currently plugged into my MacBook Pro 17" Mid-2011
what is the next steps? wait it out until a new firmware will be released?
(I'm using the real estate of the screen for my development work in Windows)

Seems to work today after I unplugged the power for 24h.
It worked for 10seconds inside of Windows, then the USB stopped working. My keyboard and mouse were plugged in, including my LAN cable. As soon as I plugged my kb+mouse into the MacBook Pro directly, I went to the Network Connections in Windows and tried to Disable the LAN. Just after I clicked on Disable, I got a buzz noise from the screen, and a BSOD - Blue Screen of DEATH.
Can Apple please FIRE the guy who wrote the Firmware update?

Restoring after firmware update - Ways :)

Hi All,
Nowadays we are receiving quite a few complaints that customers are unable to restore the application after updating their firmware. I would like all to discuss to come up with some ways to restore their applications after firmware update.
Before updating firmware
Customer can backup his phone using Nokia PC Suite's Content Copier application.
He can store his Contacts and Messages using Nokia Communication Centre as .csv file or .txt file.
For his Contacts he can sync with pc suite supported sync applications.
Messages he can store in Memory card and he can make a backup of memory card in PC.
If he is using Nokia PC Suite for his Multimedia items he can use Image Store if he is using Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Photos if he is using Nokia OVI Suite.
For Music he can use Nokia Music Manager or Nokia Music.
Once after updating his firmware, if he is unable to restore he can get those from above said applications.
If his calendar entries are not restored(as in case of some of Nokia e 71s and Nokia N 95/95 8 GBs), for God's sake if he has got one more similar device(or device having switch application on phone), he can restore the backup file to another phone having switch application, then he can transfer his data (Contacts, Calenders etc ) to his original phone
Dear Forum members, if you have got any other work around please let me know regarding the same, which will help our customers

Hi,
If you have issue in Nokia PC Suites, [subject to your phone's compatibility with Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 ],
you can install Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 and check if you can take backup and restore it later.
Also i would suggest to use USB for taking backup, since it will be faster than Bluetooth. Also you can select one category at one time(say backup contacts alone, then Calendar, then messages etc and so on ....)
Its better to skip memory card backup while backup-ing other Phone data for faster backup. Memory card backup can be done separtely(since it wont be affetcted while updating firmware, users can safely remove memory card while updating firmware)
Nowadays though recent phones has got UDP(User Data Prevention i.e., even if you update your phone's firmware, your data wont get erased ), still it is recommended to backup your phone data.
Hope this could help
I welcome our experts to add more details related to this topic.

Problems after firmware update 52.0.007

Hi,
I got my phone back after the shop fixed a problem and updated the firmware to the latest version 52.0.007.
But now I have following problems:
I can't get the calendar anymore to show up on the homescreen, even after checking the checkbox to do so
The Radio app. is gone
Does anyone has a solution for this?
Iwan

It may sound crazy but sometimes you need to "hard reset" device after firmware update (beware all data erased) by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). Sometimes UDP = User Data Prersevation feature of 5800XM can carry over corrupt entries when updating.

Ovi Maps 3 don´t start after firmware update (6220...

Hello!
a few days ago I installed ovi maps 3 on my nokia 6220c and it works well. Later I updated the firmware from version 03.06 to 05.15.
After firmware update ovi maps don´t start-> "Cannot open application. Install latest version from nokia.com/maps."
But Nokia Map Updater says, there are no updates for my maps.
What´s wrong?
Can I reinstall Ovi Maps 3? Or is it possible to install Ovi Maps 3 new?
thanks

Hello!
The Map Updater said: "there is no update for your phone" ...because maps 3 is already installed.
But in the meantime I have found a solution!!
I downloaded maps 2.0 from the German nokia page and installed it. Later I started Map Updater and could update to Maps 3 and now it works!!!
I think the problem was: I first updated to Maps 3 and later updated the firmware. There was any older version of fixes included in the firmware update, so Maps 3 was damaged...
thanks
sorry for my bad English

IMac won't start with Thunderbolt Display connected after firmware update

After updating my thunderbolt display firmware to version 1.2 this morning via the App Store, my mid-2014 iMac won't start up with the external display connected. I can get the iMac to start up only by disconnecting the display's thunderbolt connector. After the iMac comes up, I can reconnect the display and everything appears to function normally. I've tried several restarts and the iMac won't start up with the display connected. Anyone else experience this?

Can't stop Thunderbolt display from flickering white lines after firmware update (Yosemite)

I am having serious issues after the Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update 1.2. Running Yosemite on MacBook Pro and I am now getting white lines that gradiate from the bottom to the top of my screen across multiple browsers, apps and even the finder window anytime I move my mouse. I cannot take a screenshot (it stops when I try) but I posted a video here:
http://youtu.be/3zOKL1JFp5M
It is impossible to work this way and after 20 minutes of watching my screen constantly refresh anytime I move my mouse I am feeling nauseous.
Is there anyway to UNINSTALL this firmware update? I was not having this kind of problem before. Every once in awhile I was finding my Thunderbolt display would not wake up after sleep and I thought the firmware update would fix that, not cause more, crazier problems. It is causing this gradiating line problem on my Thunderbolt display AND my MacBook Pro screen, which is even more bizarre.

I updated and no issues with my 2012 Mini so may be computer related. I believe once a firmware has been "burned" into the chip it cannot be redone.

HT203547 Thunderbolt Display Screen Still Black After Firmware Update

Mid 2014 15" MacBook Pro (retina), and Thunderbolt Display, under 1 year old.
The Display stopped waking from sleep, but it seems to only be the backlight. When using a flashlight, I can see the image on the screen. My computer recognizes the Display is connected.
The firmware update hasn't resolved the issue. The article HT203547 is worthless.
Many, many other similar issues are reported in the apple community forum and in the Apple Online Store reviews for the TB Display.
I've had the Display repaired, having all of the internal components replaced. Now, it's at an Apple Authorized Service Provider, again... for the same issue.
Last time, it was in the shop for several weeks, as the technicians had trouble resolving the issue.
Apple will continue to have it serviced and replace it, entirely, if needed. But, that will have to be after their technicians repair the same parts 4 times. I've barely gotten any use out of it over the past 2 months.
But, if there are inherent flaws... what can be done? Is there any way to get a refund/credit, after 6 months or so?

Hello JethrofromBama,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your iPhone's screen has no backlight, and is dark. I'd like you to please follow the steps below in attempt to resolve this issue.
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Take care,

Early 2011 Macbook external display issues after firmware update

I have a 2011 MBPro 15". After performing the firmware update in late April, I have continual issues when I connect my monitor. The screen is blank and I can move the mouse tap the keyboard etc. The display may come up for a scond and then it will close and the machine goes back to sleep. More wiggling and the process starts over.
If I raise the lid it may bing up the external display. Restarting is the only sure fix.
I also was unable to make a presentation today because the projector I was connected to would not show the MBP display.
I tried all the key combinations, detect display etc. and nothing.
Can I somehow go back to the prior firmware? Other solutions?
SMC Version (system): 1.69f1
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.521

I recently did a software update to my MacBook pro and had a similar issue, on restart it gets to the apple logo then just shuts off, after multiple hours on the phone with apple care they told me that it was coincidence that it happened at the same time as the update and it would be costly to repair as it was either something to do with display or logic board. I took my MacBook into my retail location I bought it from and was told that they have had MULTIPLE people bring in macbooks with the SAME issue (I live in a really small city so the amount of people is quite large proportion wise) and that they could fix the issue by remotely resetting the MacBook at a cost of $130-$150. Relatively cheap considering what I was fearing, but if this is a common problem related to Apples update why are we paying to fix it and why is apple support saying its something major???

M5035MFP displays Permanent Storage Write Failed after firmware update to 48.301.7

After updating the firmware to 48.301.7, I have two M5035MFP machines that are displaying "68 Permanent Storage Write Failed" error messages. The users can press Continue and printing will proceed normally for another 10-50 pages when the message will appear again. The NVRAM and HDD have been reset/intiliased and they have been powered off/on several times.
This is also occurring on two other different models (6040MFP/9040MFP) which also started showing up after a firmware update about the same time.
Could this be a failed update? How would I go about downgrading to a previous firmware version?

Hi Rwelper,
I want to share with you this solution:
Please try first to reseat the Formatter/HDD and the memory DIMM and install the correcly then try:
First it is not adviced to downgrade the firmware at this step, you can try a cold reset and upgrade firmware again.
here, you need to remove the existent Firmware file on your PC and try to download it again from the HP Website, thus you can instaltly disable the firewalls and the antivirus and do this action.
NOTE: You can try a new upgrade firmware before you proceed with the Cold reset* of the printer.
Cold reset (Format disk also can be performed if this don't work): You can check the printer's manual to know how to perform it.
Please try an NVRAM init or Super NVRAM Init if this don't give a solution.
All these manipulations you can find in the printer's manual
Please note also that all these manipulations will delete all the current printer's configuration if it going to be working fine, so you will need to upgrade firmware and set your printer up again.
==> There is a need to delete files on the HDD / data on the DIMM, unplug and restart the printer.
The final solution is to replace the Formatter then the HDD if all these solutions don't bring a result.

I work for HP
I hope this solution respond to what you need

Need to do a clean install after firmware update

i have to reinstall os x after the firmware update.
it wont boot up just sticks on the grey logo and sinny thing.... grrrr
will it be ok just to archive and install just leopard instead of tiger, then disc 2(the apps) then leopard??

After installing the recent keyboard firmware update, my iMac G5 refused to boot past the grey apple screen, too. Got the spinning paddle, but multiple hard shutdowns and restarts failed to get it past that point.
I ended up booting the Leopard Install DVD and tried to reboot into my backup, a Superduper clone of the drive. Wouldn't do it -- got the same result.
Used Disk Utility (on the Leopard DVD) to repair the disk/permissions. The only significant repair was this:
permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log," should be -rw-------, they are -rw-r-----.
Now, I don't know what that means, but maybe it's relevant.
I rebooted -- and still was unable to get past the grey screen. I tried repairing permissions a second time (and nothing unusual came up) and it still failed to fix the startup problem.
Ultimately, I was forced to do an archive and install of Leopard, which then allowed me to boot successfully.
Really disappointing -- this is the kind of thing I expect Windows users to have to deal with, not us.

Numerous issues after firmware updates

After installing the latest firmware updates I've noticed several issues develop. Firstly, the keyboard and mighty mouse have become less responsive. Particularly within certain applications, for example in iPhoto there is so much latency with the mouse that it is nearly impossible to scroll across an event icon so that it will display the photos within the event. Or in the few games I play the mouse scrolls with a very jerky motion.
Safari has also not been working well since the update. Certain links (java links maybe) simply no longer work. Or even within this forum, Topics are no longer displayed. I had use Camino to view these forums.
The only reason I suspect that these issues are related to the firmware updates is that all of these issues arose immediately after installing the firm ware updates.
So far I have repaired permissions and used OnyX to run all of the maintenance scripts and empty all of my caches, but no luck.
If anyone can suggest something more to try or provide any insight, that would be great.

Not only these issues, but my iMac has reverted to its original problem of having random freezes. Twice now I have had the screen completely lock while my music/video continued to play in the background, forcing me to force re-start and lose work.
I don't have a clue what Apple thought they were fixing but if anyone knows how to downgrade firmware or if it's even possible please post up!
