hi corbell bro, juz got a black wind from sitex... and i chech the bios is currently 1.06, so we upgrade to 1.09 ? is it necessary??? thanks.

and another issue is mine is the 6cell battery but how come the battery icon only shows around 4hours+ ? is it normal?

hihi, yes, update the bios to 1.09. you can overclock this wonderful machine to 1.988++ GHz equivalent to a normal 2.0 GHz Laptop when you press the Turbo (Fn+F10) when on Ac.

Also battery varies when you on wireless, or when you have bright LED light.
it's kinda irritating when it show 4hrs + , so perhaps Cornbell can assist us.

Overall, i think it's a steal from the show as Asus, or even lenovo dun offer such good deals with 2Ghz or Wireless N included in the 699 package

Follow the steps.

Just remember to take battery out before booting in BIOS.

I got the offer of 2GB RAM, at 699, i guess you all got the same ???



Anyway, for the guy whom the battery parts was destroyed by the saleman, did you get any 1-1 refund ? i would if i am you. thanks

Hi all,

I tried installing winxp from external hard disk. However, I encountered the message below. Did a quick and normal format. Both to no avail.



Any idea why?

 

[vofzxy]

" Users with upgraded good quality RAM (such as Corsair) will be able to achieve a higher overclock setting with stable results."

izzit even possible to change the RAM?

msi clarify that the pin was broken by default......so case clpse

 

[info_guy]

so was there an exchange or refund?

 

[Hot_Tuna]

so was there an exchange or refund?

nope, every msi wind is broken.

 

[rome2ng]

yup, that's bad.

i just realise the broken one today, 2 days after purchase

vofzxy, even with corsair, how much you want to overclock by ?
you will risk heating up the stuff and core.

revenant, try using the recovery stuff la, no point using another window XP cd/iso...

 

[info_guy]

oh its a default defect on all wind for that batch. wow.

 

[mclarenace]

Hi,

I just bought 2 set of MSI Wind with my friend over last weekend. We noticed that the wireless issue encountered by user of the first batch is still there. Anyway to solve this problem? I tested on my other AMD notebook i am able to transfer a 15GB file without dropping any connection in another room. Where else on this MSI Wind it dropped the connection after like 2 file is transferred.

I placed the AMD notebook further from my home Linksys router then the MSI Wind while performing this test.

Edit : I have updated BIOS to 1.09 and updated driver recommended by doody in msiwind forums. (Ralink 2700E)

Hi

I bought a MSI wind U100 from sitex on Saturday...

but I seem to get trouble connecting to the internet at home. It states that is connected, but trying IE, it just loads and doesnt display the page.

I also tried installing Firefox from a thumb drive, and is still the same for firefox.

I am running a Linksys wireless G router , WRT54G.

my other family members laptop seem to be fine and able to connect to the internet.

Much help needed thanks!

O.O

You sure the whole batch is faulty? My friend just got one MSI Wind during Sitex but have not use yet.

 

[steven68]

go amk corbell's headquarter????
if not u can also go those well-known it shops at sls, pcthemes, fuwells ????
or go fatdeals.com~

Thanks for the info. I guess I will be getting it on a higher price and with no upgrades. Sigh!

 

[rome2ng]

u sure you on the connection Fn+F11 with the wireless connection lights on ?

also, u got input the correct MAC Address if you restrict them ?

my WIND is doing fine as i only update the BIOS only. firefox work fine.

 

[shinobiIII]

yea...wireless is on, it is connected....mac address filtering is correct also...

cause when I go to google, it displays the bar only..then it just keeps loading and loading...for both firefox and IE
