    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone is getting a black or blank screen while using the V90 while in use. I need to hard boot the device in order for everything to come back to normal again? I’ve done some troubleshooting and realized that reflashing the device seems to make the problem disappear.

    Is this possible, or is there some faulty hardware in the device causing this?

    Thanks Again

    We had the same problem, a BIOS update did solve this for us. So it can be true if you reflash/image the cliënt with WDM that the problem is solved. If you want to I can send you the BIOS seperate from an image.

    I’ve sent the BIOS update.

    It would be great if you let us know if this is the solution.

    I have just completed some tests. So I’m jumping from version 1.07 to this version of 1.10. When I perform the Bios upgrade choosing the option to update the “bootblock” also, it seems that the screen halts at times waiting for an F1 key. Once the key is pressed, the V90 continues to load successfully. It seems to be intermitten.

    Not sure if this has happened to you or not?
    Also, what is the best options to choose when upgrading it?
    Was updating the “bootblock” a nessesary option to choose when only an upgrade is needed?
    Could the “bootblock” have any affect on the error I am getting?

    Thanks again

    Sorry but the exact error I get now is

    “CMOS checksum error – Defaults Loaded”

    again this is an intermitten situation, maybe there is a setting in the BIOS I can check to disable this check.

    thanks again

    I was able to bypass this error by editing the BIOS to set

    From:
    Halt ON: All, But Keyboard

    To:
    Halt ON: No Errors

    in doing this I was able to bypass the Checksum error. Hope this is the right way to do this. If not please correct me and everyone else who might use this fix for themselves.

    Thanks again

    FYI… Just let the Thin Client v90 stay on for the past week or so and all though I’ve update the BIOS, the problem still exists. I got a black screen again.

    Is there any other suggestions for this?

    I’ve no other suggestion (yet).

    Does the problem still occurs when using an original iamge from Wyse?

    I’ve originally tested it with the original image from Wyse. The version that you provided to me of the bios is 1.10, is there a later release that would meet my need?

    Could it be possible that my video drivers are causing the problem?

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but the latest version of the rapport image(s
    ) should include bios version 1.10 or higher.

    I guess due your posts, that the problem still exists?

    yes the problem still exists, and when I mentioned “original image” it was one dated in October(ish) of 2007. the original BIOS was at 1.07 if this might help.

    I guess I must be having a hardware problem with my video card then? i assume

    Hi Guys,

    Not sure if this helps but I had a really weird one like that on 9450’s years ago and it turned out to be the Phillips monitor we were using. For some reason when the unit powered off the monitor it would not re-start.

    Long shot but see if its the same monitor on the units that have this issue,

    Cheers,
    -TT
