Sometimes don't wake up after standby mode at BeoMaster 5.

15 replies

I upgraded HDD to Crucial BX500 960GB SSD (Micron).

During 3 days, there are no problem of waking up.

That is,

1) After go to standby(Push the back red button),

2) if push the "Go" button of Beosound 5,

3) it was waked up and play the music.

 

But Now,

within almost 30 minutes, it's waked up well.

but after 30minutes, it's not worked, It show the blue error screen.

If reset the BeoMaster 5, I can play the music.

 

If you solved this problem, inform me plz.

I have the same problem with the Crucial MX500 1TB.

I have red that Crucial MX500 and BX500 use the same controller chip.

I’ve now switched my BM5/BS5 to

Power Saving = OFF It seems that I have less boot up problems ( seems a bit normal as the BM5 does not have to boot )

I will see how this works for the next 3 days and inform you here.

BTW I’ve ordered a Sandisk ULTRA 3D 1TB, this own seems to have the same controller as the MX100 and MX300

WD and PLEXTOR should also have a drive with this controller.

Hi 

any of you find anything regarding that issue ?

I have the same problem with my MX500 ssd :(

 

Forget about the MX500, I struggled with it fir months.

I bought the Sandisk Ultra 3D SSD (1TB) , it has the same Controller chip as the MX100 and MX300 and it works just fine and ultra fast.

MX500 has a different (newer) controller chip.

Hi Gerard, got a question.

which model do you actually use?
There are 2 1TB models of this Sandisk Ultra 3D SSD:

  • Sandisk Ultra 3D (SDSSDH3-1T00-G25) 1TB
    (SDSSDH3-1T00-G25)

    Is longer around on the market
or this one?
  • Sandisk Ultra 3D (SDSSDH3-1T02-G25) 1TB
    (SDSSDH3-1T02-G25)

    (Is fairly new to the market)
It seems that both models have the same controller, the Marvell 88SS1074

P.S. How did you clone it on the
Sandisk Ultra 3D SSD?
Many thanks!

Almost Gerard 🙂
the MX300 is using the Marvell 88SS1074B1 controller. The Sandisk Ultra 3D SSD (1TB) is using the Marvell 88SS1074 controller.

I have been looking for a while what the difference could be with the B1 controller but I did not find out ...
Would this controller be the predecessor of the (later released) Marvell 88SS1074 itself or would this controller still have something extra or less than the main 88SS1074 controller?

I believe the Western Digital 'Blue' 3D NAND SSD is the same drive as the Sandisk Ultra 3D, so it should also work (and is often a little cheaper). I'm going to try the 2TB version soon since I'd already upgraded my BM5 to a 2TB hard drive and I don't want to loose capacity when I switch to SSD.

Hi riverstyx,

there are many ways to clone it. How did you clone it to the 2TB harddisk before?

Cheers

My method is probably not useful to the majority of members here, but I connected the old and new drives to a linux PC and used 'dd' to clone the drive, then 'parted' to expand the partition to fill the extra space. I seem to recall needing to use the recovery process on the BM5 and then trigger an update before it would boot successfully after this, but it has been faultless since.

Hi riverstyx,

Could you be a little more specific what steps you took on the B&O when you first installed the SSD (which had undergone DD and parted)?
Because you are talking about a recovery process and an update
Have you done a recovery step with the B&O Windows XP embedded and the update you are talking about was done with the B&O service tool?
thanks in advance
