M6600 Owners Thread

do you mean windows when you say desktop? or something else?

 

I get this symptom sporadically on my IPS machine; when it happens it is usually an extended period of being off then cold boot, and sometimes resume from sleep. Don't know if it is related to weather because it seems more often when it is colder like under 65F. I also noticed this with the WLED LG's when I had them.

One way I get around this minor hiccup is to make the power button to sleep and close the lid to do nothing; Sleep the machine and resume, if it stays black then close the lid and reopen, works every time.

Not sure what it could be but it feels like a sensor switch not making good contact somewhere, or the start circuit for the LCD just chokes.

 

Got the ChiMei display (which seems to have solved the flickering screen problem, though others seem to be in store).

Anyways, it's by no means a bad screen, though I see why others may fail to adapt to it, and it's clearly below the LG in some departments. Colors are comparable once calibrated, in fact, brightness seems a bit lower but clearly above average, and blacks are very good. Angles are also comparable, though they seemed slightly better on the LG.

The coating is indeed subpar and gives the screen a slightly checkered look if you look closely, but I don't think it's atrocious or even very bad. To me, it's palatable. Unfortunately the LG had one of the best coatings I've seen so far (true of other LG screens in fact, such as the 12.5" IPS or the 17.3" RGB IPS).

 

I'm still having problems with USB 3.0 connectivity on my M6600, don't know why...

1. My ADATA HDD only can connect to the USB 3.0 port closer to me; is it because the other one (closer to the eSATA port doesn't provide enough current to power up a HDD)?

2. The loose cable connecter can cause the disk to disappear from the system and reappear again whenever I touch the cable by accident, but it doesn't look like this has something to do with the device connecting with 3.0 vs. 2.0 protocol. My impression is that whether the disk is recognized properly as USB 3.0 device is software-related (usually the 2.0 driver will load, and only after I uninstall the controller and hub and let them rebuild while my ADATA 3.0 is connected will it be recognized as USB 3.0

3. The Renesas USB 3.0 driver also is flawed in the power management area. I have another device - a RAID 2-disk enclosure by UNITEK, also with USB 3.0 - and while it usually connects fine (in any of the 2 USB 3.0 blue ports), it literally takes seconds for the HDDs to spin down. Enabling/disabling Windows USB 3.0 power management doesn't make any difference; very annoying!

Am I alone, or is this how USB 3.0 works for most of you? Also, is there any other setting in windows power management plan that could prevent my RAID from spinning down?

 

I do not use enclosures but my usb sticks work fine and properly at any given time. I got a pair of adata s102 8 and 16gb is there any scenario that i could do to help you in diagnosing your issues.

Windows is nearly loaded, right before the desktop appears it goes black and the desktop never shows up. Plain black screen with a mouse.

Seems similar, long period of off and it's been cold. Maybe if if I warm it up I wonder if it would boot? I really don't want to reload the os again for the fourth time. This machine has been a bear singe I got it.

 

Yeah, I wouldn't bother reimaging the machine since I don't think there's anything different that would come from it.

I've heard it mentioned that it could be something with the WiFi and driver but nothing absolute.

It is a weird thing that isn't always consistent.

 

I can't believe it but..... I sat it on the heater vent for a minute before powering it on and BAM, powered right up no problem whatsoever!!! I also heard from another forum that they suspect it's a GPU issue and I had it on the heater vent on the GPU side so there may be something to that thought. Now to determine the long term fix!!

 

lol, keeping it heated for cold boot is not an option

Obviously since the LCD can't start it would seems to begin at the graphics card; but software stacks are complicated things, as well are PCI and USB hubs (not that I really have a great handle on their behavior) but there is a point when wonder takes over and all is lost.

I would like to hope there is a software .inf file tweak out there somewhere, maybe something that could check twice if the LCD started.

Good luck and let us know if another way turns up.

 

Notice inconsistency issues too when using both USB3.0 for 2 separate 3.0 external hdd... either 1 will causing pop up mentioned faster if connect to 3.0 port...
