I know this is several months old, but will chime in anyway.

Can't comment on the feasibility of upgrade discussed at that link, but the guy seems to be talking about upgrading the flash module (which he calls memory for some reason). That may well be a useful upgrade generally, but your error ...

solution just the opposite for me

Ever since switching to MJ+ 2014, running through a PC-router-modem setup, the touch tone phone tree responses - from my cordless handset - have not been working. Every time I make a call, I have to sit at a PC, log onto the MJ server via TightVNC, and enter the phone tree responses there on the ...

I wish I knew how to do that kind of soldering. I've suspected many of the dead thin clients simply had bad RAM slots. I tried a heat gun to resolder but it just melted the connector.

I don't know enough about PCIe to tell much by looking. I've planned to install a vid card and use a utility to ...

Hi Guys,
Just returned from vacation and read through your posts. The mini PCIe slot on the underside is where HP put the wireless card. I don't know if it will run a SATA drive. There is also one part number that always appears to have the PCIe connector, even if not OEM wifi. The other P/Ns don't ...

I don't have that information. Probably easier to just buy the riser if you can find it, or the whole expansion module.

I'm away from home at the moment, but I'll take a closer look at the risers when I'm back. Perhaps some deduction of the pin locations can be made.

Or, just buy the one I have on ...

This appears to be the same solution I got to with MJ Tech Support, 3 levels up. They had me delete those Upper and Lower filters in that registry key, which got the MJ+ 2014 working on my Win 8.1 laptop.

When I've had call quality issues related to my hardware, it's always been stuttering - holes in the stream. In 2011 when I started with MJ, the sub-$75 thin clients were VIA C3 or AMD Geode CPUs at sub-1GHz, often with 512MB or less flash and 512MB or less RAM, and the MJ dongles and software were ...

I remember reading this thread a few months back, and being interested in this mod. I even bought a couple of X2 CPUs to try.

In reply to " I'm curious though, about the need to match so closely. Can't you just get the VIA drivers for their CPU and chipset (get a bunch of them if it's not clear exactly which to use), and stuff them into either the image, or onto the flash, during the imaging of your ...

Actually, I just recalled your box boots from CF so you're not much constrained by flash size - why not install a 4GB CF card and just do a full XP install, or a smaller nLite version? I must be missing something.

My recollection was a little off. The VIA Apollo PL133 is the chipset on the C3 boards in the 9450/9455. I don't find much info on the VIA VT133 but it appears to be contemporary with the C3 board in those two Wyse units. They use PC133 SDRAM. The V90 had DDR RAM, and a newer chipset. There was a C3 ...

The VT133 rings a bell for the older Wyse board (9455/9450). Wikipedia says the Ezra is just the Samuel 2 on a smaller die, whereas the Nehemiah in the V90 is a new design. I'm going on memory for some of this, so give me awhile to check things out.

Thank you. Not that one!! That's a WinCE unit, and a slow one. Unless you're a wiz, make sure to get a TC with Win XPe (as licensed, so it can be easily reflashed), and 512 MB flash with 512 MB RAM, as minimum. The 1000 MHz VIA C3 CPU ...

It's not a big deal to get MJ to run on a thin client, assuming the unit is already flashed with a working XPe OS. You don't need someone else to configure or set it up for you. It takes about 5 minutes to configure the BIOS and OS, using the guidance available on this site. I've only used the Wyse ...

Re: magic jack hangs up

It might work with your MJ without having to re-image your unit. I own 2 of those TC's and trust me it's more trouble than it's worth to try to re-image them. No matter what you do, they won't boot from a USB stick. Both of my WYSE 9450xe worked fine with my MJ after simply adding the USB drivers ...

It would have to have all the proper drivers embedded.

It's not on the flash either, just an Apacer sticker.



Not sure what an Apacer sticker is.

installing a fresh image overwrites any existing Windows passwords and replaces the admin with their standard default password.

Is that booting from usb to install?

The flash is a small pcb about 1" x 2" with a 44 pin laptop-sized IDE connector on one side. The IDE slot for the flash is right at the end of the PCI expansion slot, in the corner of the motherboard. You can get a replacement off eBay, TigerDirect, or other places for around $25 or so, if yours is ...
