Use the registry cleaner from CCleaner after running driver sweeper on the Intel drivers.

Depends how embedded it is, but it should do the trick.

I reset and it seems to have installed a random driver version that I didn't download or install... 16.0.0.62... Running as badly as ever.

How does one clean this registry you speak of

I used to be semi computer literate, but not so these days

'Introduce' said laptop to the person sold it to you.

I'm sure they'd reconsider their refund policy.

I actually hadn't googled. Called out on it I'm afraid.

But seriously something with an unfixable known issue shouldn't be due to a restocking fee.

Esp if you buy something else at their shop/replace it etc depending on your diplomacy skills

Yep I agree, I've been trying for the last 3 days to fix it, so didn't just run straight back having a sook...If I can't find a fix by tomorrow I'll be calling them to discuss it. I'm more than happy to exchange it for a different laptop, so I'm not just trying to get my money back and run... I'll even kick in a few hundred more if it means getting a better model...and I'll have an external dvd-rom that I have no use for as the MSI doesn't come with one built in, but most other brands seem too...

What can it be used for ?

The current supported drivers are NVIDIA (Display and Chipset), ATI (Display), Creative (Sound) Realtek (Sound), Ageia (PhysX) and Microsoft (Mouse).

Doesn't seem to be for intel drivers?

Think it's time to throw in the towel.

Can't install the drivers Martin said he uses for whatever reason, installer just tells me I can't install them... Ran the reg cleaner, uninstalled the wifi card several times, safe mode all that shit...nothings working... f**k this shit

Yeah, time to yell abuse about a product that isn't working like it's supposed to and demand either someone showing you how it's done OR replace it with something that works from the first go.

Don't be afraid to throw some insults, it works quite well from experience.

I typically install drivers by doing it through device manager and installing the driver to the device directly.

May not have a different result, but install wizards for drivers annoy me - At times you can simply force device X to use Driver Y.

May not work (may actually not function at all) but it's how I would be installing drivers in this case.

Still not googled

I'd actually recommend not throwing insults around trying to fix PC issues. 99% of people who sell PC's will sympathise with a piece of hardware you tried to fix but couldn't because of a hardware limitation and will be happier to help you out if you go that angle. Especially if you take the "I don't mind spending money, I WANT a functional laptop, can you provide me what I actually want to buy" kind of thing.

They may even have a go trying to fix it for you if they have any ideas/seen it before etc

Just spoke to Centercom, guy I spoke to was very friendly about it, told him I've basically spent the last 5 days trying to get this thing to work properly to no avail.... He said to bring it in and the tech guys will have a look at it tomorrow when they're back at work.

He mentioned if it was faulty they'd do a straight swap for a new MSI GS60...

I mentioned that it's not the laptop itself, but the wifi card which is renowned for being shit house... so swapping for the same laptop would more than likely do nothing...He then said if that was the case and the tech guys find that is the issue they'll look at a full refund or another laptop etc...

So all sounds good initially, but I'm not holding my breath that the tech guys will agree it doesn't work as it's supposed to...

So... Start throwing some good laptops at me. And if there's an Intel AC 7260 in there, I'll throw it back at your head real hard.

Budget, already spent $2550, so another few hundred isn't gonna kill me if it means getting something much better....

Spoke to the tech guy that was there... He fired it up and connected to their wifi, said their router was in the other building... He was downloading at 1.6mb/sec consistently...and getting 18mbit/sec on speed test...

He's adamant that it's my router, and as soon as I mentioned it's a Thompson (Telstra supplied) he said that'd be it 100%... Said to call them and get a newer model that does AC or at the very least Wireless N

Will do that, then break his nose if it still doesn't work.

    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
