MSI Wind U100: keyboard problem
/Me OMFG
Do you know someone on this planet who can manage to destroy a 399€ jewel in less than a hour? Now you do. I just tried to update the BIOS of my new, flaming, MSI Wind U100 Black when I found out power wasn’t plugged. So I thought “what’s the problem, let’s just plug it in”. I wish I had never done that: keyboard suddenly stopped working. I tried rebooting to Windows XP (a pure DOS environment is required for BIOS updates) but, sadly, nothing changed. Keyboard was not working, no keystrokes where detected, I wasn’t even able to get into BIOS, since DEL key wasn’t working as well. But, before getting too despaired, I tried to unplug Wind’s power sources (yes, even the battery!). After a few minutes, I turned it on again and keyboard was working again.
I hope you will find this article useful, it could save your heart from breaking in case you encounter this very same issue

Ciao, in seguito all’aggiornamento citato che sembrava esser andato a buon fine, non mi funziona più nessuna porta USB ed il lettore di schede di memoria.
Inoltre non mi si carica neanche più il windows.
Ho cercato tanto in rete, ma senza risultati.
Lo devo buttare?

Sicuramente non devi buttarlo
A quanto pare non sei l’unico ad avere questo problema, tant’è che qui ( http://forums.msiwind.net/post32444.html#p32444 ) è proposta una soluzione per riflasharlo alla 1.06
In ogni caso, nella peggiore delle ipotesi, puoi sempre mandarlo in assistenza!
Buona fortuna!
