I’ll be giving this a try as soon as I get home.

Cheers

This is what worked for me. I remembered doing this after I upgraded my memory to 1gig. Plug in a keyboard for this to work.

1) Turn the power switch to the left to go into AVS Now.
2) After doing this, keep pressing F8 (maybe once is ok, but I am impatient)
3) You should get a prompt with an option to delete restoration data. Choose this option
4) Your machine should then boot into Windows, it will continue for a while and shut down. Mine did anyway.
5) Turn the power switch to the left to boot into AVS and it should work now.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Although, I have only used it once, but I hate having something not work.

Of course, I haven’t upgraded my RAM so your mileage may vary. Now, if I only actually used AVS Now.

(I would have been the second, but I waiting until I got to work to reply) Same splash screen and then nothing. It appears to be on but the screen is blank. I thought I saw something about this on origamiproject.com. I’ll take a look.

I use the AVStation NOW functionality so infrequently, I never thought to test it. Just tried and it and I get the AVStation splash as it boots, but then nothing but a blank screen. Not good Samsung, not good…

Anyone else seen this, or am I special?

My Samsung updater still says I’m up-to-date even though the display update is the only thing that has been updated.I guess that updater isn’t totally reliable. Does the tip Keyboard look different to you after the update? Also, the one thing that seems to be fixed is using the soft Keyboard. My keys now display properly after using shift.

Sorry for filling up your internet space. Although, this message fills it up even more. Ok, I’ll hold back on posting somewhere else here to make up for it. :)

From what I can tell, even though the update date changed from July to 8/8, the version numbers remained the same. I wonder what the deal is there. On another note, they must use the update manager for critical or major updates as my Q1 didn’t pick up any new updates either. As a matter of fact, it has only picked up one…the display manager update.

The Update program didn’t indicate any new downloads for me either.

I’ve just run Samsung update and it says my system is up to date. However, it says my last update was on the 27th July (Display manager update). So obviously it isn’t up to date. Or is it?

Can you guess what happened?! I’m at the Apple Store using a MacBook and WiFi latency hit me big time! I will email jk to clean up!
