2180 satellite CDT: update BIOS issue

I have an old Satellite 2180 CDT and a message saying "ready for the update of the BIOS. Please insert a disc of the BIOS update... "appears when I turn on the computer.

I downloaded the update to the correct BIOS to floppy and follow the instructions of Toshiba.
When I insert the disk and press a key.
the disk starts for a second, but stops and starts again. It continues, and at the same time, the laptop emits a short beep every time the hard drive begins.
Light flashing for the floppy green.

I'll be very grateful for any help. I don't often use the computer, but it has some important information on this subject...).

Hello

Can you please tell what wrong because I s t see any problems.
The fact is that you can hear a beeping sound during the BIOS update procedure.
Did you get the error messages or something like that?

Maybe this document of the BIOS update will help you:

    What version is broadcast in the BIOS settings?
    Go to BIOS and check this!

    Usually, we should see version 4.8
    If your update of the BIOS has been updated correctly, you will see the v4.8 in BIOS settings.

  • Satellite T135 - update BIOS 2.70 won't be finished

    I have a Satellite T135 Win7 running with an original BIOS that I'm moving to 2.70. I ran all the other software updates in Service Station (2.1.51) with no problems. but the BIOS downloads 2.7, initiates and cautions that I'll need to reboot (I select Yes to execute) and receive notice of popup on the electrical problem (defective DC) which corrects this BIOS, then nothing. It just stops.

    I disabled my firewall windows antivirus, but the update is still unable to fill. I downloaded the file directly from Toshiba (outside the Service Station) and run the file and exactly the same thing happens.
    The event viewer shows all the related entries.

    Anyone has an idea on how to get the updated BIOS up-to-date?

    Hi mwarwick,

    Did you install any new version of package of added value of the Web from Toshiba site? This program is necessary if you want to update the BIOS to check if you have installed the latest version.

    In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS before doing the update. Then, go into the BIOS, press F9 to load the default values, save & exit it.

    Can update you the BIOS now?

  • Satellite L750D - update BIOS 2.1 and its problem

    Hello

    I have little problem. I was downloaded from your website 2.1 BIOS for Toshiba Satellite L750D (PSK32E).

    I have been updating BIOS 2.1 and start the problem with the sound. When I start the game, music or else minutes 2 first sound plays correctly but then it stops without reason. No noise at all. I've been reinstalled op system but the problem is still there.

    Sound works for 2 minutes only then is completely off. Each application to start with sound plays 2 minutes and stop all silent is. I did a probe on my laptop the mother she s a computer portable twin. I have updated bios same problem 2 minutes and then no sound. My OS is win 8 64 pro my laptop mother is with win 7 x 64 premium.

    Two BIOS updated ver 2.1 on L750D and the problem is the same. Please fix the BIOS.

    The BIOS seems to be very old. I was released nearly 1.5 years ago, so to be honest, I doubt that his and BIOS problem.

    I had the similar problem with my other laptop equipped with a Realtek sound card.
    The sound appeared after connection and remove the headphone jack
    But I could solve this latest installation updated audio driver the Realtek driver page.

    But it seems that your Satellite does not support Realtek audio chip but the Conexant audio chip.
    Therefore, the solution could not be useful for you.

    However, I think that you need to update the audio driver. I recommend you google for driver Conexant SmartAudio HD and test the latest version of the driver available.
    On the internet, I find the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver version 8.65.9.51 for Win 7 / 8 Win / Win 8.1
    Not quite sure if this is the latest version, but you can test it.

    To manually update your driver:

    1. go into the Device Manager (right click on my computer, choose manage and then find Device Manager in the left panel)
    2. right click on the device you want to update and choose Update driver software
    3. choose Select the location of the new driver manually and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the driver

    As indicated above for the update Bios to 2.1 later I lost the functionality of numeric keypad, not the right side as if it were a good keyboard.
    The above keys work IE delete scroll etc.

    The numlock light does not illuminate, but it does if I activate the keys on the stretch main qwerrty.
    Is their any way to reload the bios it won't let me because I have the latest or downgrade may not be like that until anothrer update.

    By the wy am Windows 7 any info would be greatly apreciated thanks

    Hello

    Normally you press Numlock on the keyboard to enable it.
    Check this box!

    If it s not working do not you should load the default settings in the BIOS. Maybe it works.

    Last but not least just be sure it s not a hardware problem, can test you it with the factory settings?

  • Satellite M30 742: update BIOS issue

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M30-742.

    The BIOS does not recognise my new NEC optiarc DVD RW AD - unit 5540 a. so I need to do a BIOS upgrade.

    Can someone tell me where can I get BIOS more recent (I currently v1.40) and how the procedure is done?

    Thank you in advance.

    Concerning

    Maybe you don't need to update n the BIOS but a CD/DVD player compatible and taken in charge? ;)

    Not all CD/DVD slimline drives are compatible with laptops due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.

    I is recommended; buy a compatible player and don t flash BIOS because this willnot help!

    A hint more; If you try to update the BIOS with the bad BISO or bad procedure the laptop motherboard could be too bad!

    So be careful dude!

  • Update BIOS issue and on Satellite A200-1z3 FN key

    Dear all,

    Satellite A200-1z3

    I have the same problem as many of you already described here. After downgrading from Win XP, I discovered this part of the features enabled by the FN key don't work, for example FN + F2 FN + F6, FN + F7, FN + F8, FN + F9, FN + F12, FN + 1, FN + 2, FN + TAB.

    I read in this forum and found that you can solve this problem be reinstall BIOS. When I tried to download BIOS on site it requires Pass and Login which I don't have. If you have any suggestions to download it from there?

    If not, how I can activate keboard light FN + F2 and the scroll Lock FN + F9 without button FN button.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    > When I tried to download BIOS on site requires Login and Pass that I n t I.
    Did you use the right page of the Toshiba driver?
    You story sounds strange for me because I have visited the Toshiba European page and choose your model. Satellite A200-1z3 PSAE3E.

    And I was able to download the BIOS 5, 60 - WIN.

    Then maybe you should try again I'm sure it'll work!

  • Satellite A500 - update BIOS with dead battery

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A500 (PSAR3E) laptop and I need to update the BIOS to the latest version.
    Unfortunately, my battery died completely, and I have no chance to get a working one.

    I was trying to update the bios all day, but no matter how I try (even created a boot back drive and took command line phlash16, /forceit and so on) it keeps telling me that he needs at least 10% charged battery present.

    How can this problem be solved?

    > If I remove the battery, engine update fails, say there is no battery present, if I fix the battery, then update will fail saying the battery must be at least 10% - but he died, this percentage is 0.
    And you write about original Win version that you have downloaded from the Toshiba BIOS download page and started in Windows?

    To be honest is unclear to me that there is a trick to avoid this situation.
    Maybe something stupid, but now, do you really need to install the update to the BIOS?
    Is there a problem with your machine?

  • Satellite L500D - update BIOS, covered by warranty?

    Hi, I bought a Satellite L500D in September of last year. The weekend comes, he suggested I should keep the machine etc. updated drivers so I logged on the Toshiba web site and there was a link with * New * Bios Update, i.e. After choosing the etc. good model from the dropdown boxes.

    The update seemed to work however when the machine is re-start, he went through the boot process closed however it has not started up.

    I tried to choose the boot in SafeMode etc and tried to reinstall the backup CD, but I can't get the machine to start. I have now put the machine in to authorized service center for Toshiba to fix.

    As I followed the instructions on the web site of Toshiba is that this should be covered by the warranty?

    Thank you

  • Satellite A30 - update BIOS cannot access bios and no light to full charge

    Hello

    Like a fool I upgraded my bios (to 1.80) for Satellite A30 (PSA30E). I've noticed two problems.

    (a) during start-up I no longer get any what welcome screen and can not access the bios or boot from other devices - so if I want to boot from the CD now I can not - for example impossible to reinstall the operating system in the future

    (b) the battery suddenly was not fully charged and constantly hangs on 99% (apparently)

    (c) who knows what else could go wrong

    I'd like to undo what I've done, but it does not seem possible. How the hell can I solve it, since clearly the update of the bios is incorrect. Find a bios update file earlier (and how to use it)? Can I fix it?

    Someone at - it ideas?

    David

    Hello

    First may to ask why you have updated the BIOS. If everything works, the update of the BIOS is not necessary.

    OK, how have you tried to access the BIOS? Usually the F2 key must be pressed immediately after starting the laptop. You can try to press several times.

    But you can start from STRANGE on different ways. You can press C button and the specifications will enable booting from the drive or you press F12 and you choose the STRANGE as a source of start-up.

    I put t know why the power of the battery freezes at 99%, but you can try to remove the battery and wait several times. Then reconnect and check the status of the battery.

  • Satellite L750D - update BIOS causing the CD Player problems

    I have a L750D-1GC Satellite running Windows 7. Recently I updated the BIOS to 1.60 04/05/12 THIS worm 1.40

    I noticed that since that more that I have problems my CD player in what I can read CD/DVD but does not burn. Using burning software, it appears the combustion happens (rotation of the disk and green light), but at the end it breaks down. I have tried several Microsoft Fixit program but the problem persists, help?

    I put t think that the BIOS update would impact on the functionality of CD/DVD drive.
    Usually, the firmware of the CD/DVD drive contains information about the compatible media and I put t that any link between this question and the previous update of the BIOS.

    For me is looks like the laser lens is dirty or the lens may not be properly calibrated to read/write from the disk
    Try to clean the laser lens with cotton wool trick and liquid alcohol in many cases this would set similar question and the player couldn't handle the media properly.
