Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

I can't get the USB drivers to install correctly, that or my MStar is faulty. I'm running windows 10, tried on windows 7, any tips please?

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

It seems even though I'm connecting to the pc through the USB cable it auto sets to the printer port. I tried changing it to the usb in the settings but it's not working still. Instead of USB xKHz it says Printer 40KHz.

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

I got my MStar today. I ran into more problems. I get the following prompt when I start the software tool. " Cannot install driver to your system. Your Printer port will not work" Then the tool starts after I hit ok. When I further try to follow the guide I get the message. "Program File Not Ready ...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

Yes I can get the monitor up to 144hz with the display port cable. I'm running custom at 120hz and 1502VT. I also got a Mstar on coming in the mail. I wish I knew that you couldn't flash using the display port cable, I wouldn't even have bothered and wouldn't have had this issue with the laptop ...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

So after getting that display port cable and identifying the flash chip on the display port bus, flashrom isn't able to identify the firmware correctly. However the VGA and DVI are able to. Not only that, somehow my laptop monitor got damaged in the process, its display is now split horizontally ...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

I'm able to successfully get the v4 firemware installed on the 2nd try, however the DVI corruption still persists even after using a VGA cable, homefully the DP cable that's coming might fix this issue. Also the monitor is set to 800x600 resolution when I boot or go into the bios, this is a 16:9 ...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

I did, no luck with the laptop, trying a couple more times on the desktop. I have a DP cable also coming Tuesday and if worse comes to worse I'll just order that Mstar. I'm supposed to enable burn in and turn off the monitor or leave it on and just close the menu?

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

I am attempting to do what you suggested right now. I am willing to mess around with this some more, but I am strongly considering just buying the Mstar utility as I've been a long time BenQ monitor user, and I can see it becoming useful as I upgrade in the future.

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

It would make sense that the DVI EDID got corrupted. My desktop has a ASRock Z77 Extreme4/AMI UEFI. I used a second monitor plugged into a Geforce 770 and the BenQ monitor plugged into first the DVI on-board then the VGA on board connectors. I guess I should have read through the post more and maybe ...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

I have a XL2420Z I installed V4 to and I believe it's done for. I can't get anything but 60hz now, except on a much lower 4:3 resolution with two options of 60hz or 120hz. My native 16:9 at 1080p can only do 60hz. I guess there is no real reason to even upgrade the XL2420Z to V4 since there isn't ...
