3480CT: try to update BIOS fails

Hello
I have a CT 3480 and wanted to update the BIOS, but only the FDD USB Toshiba drive. During the reboot with BIOS disk in, the drive starts perfectly, but indicates "non-system disk error" and will not perform the update.
Is FDD drive the culprit, or is there something that I'm not just doing?
Concerning
Martin

Hello

I don't think it's a fault of FDD USB Toshiba player.
Can you tell me your procedure to upgrade the BIOS?
As far as I know, you must press F12 to Flash the BIOS.

It's a whole procedure to upgrade the BIOS for Portege 3480CT

1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a formatted floppy disk (please see note below regarding the type of disk to use).
2. make sure that the laptop is plugged into the sector.
3. turn off the laptop.
4. turn on the laptop with the F12 key. Press and hold until a short beep can be heard.
5. the message "ready for the update of the BIOS. Place the BIOS update floppy in the drive and press any key when you are ready to move forward"will appear.
6. place the floppy disk containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy drive and press a key. FDD access will begin.
7. When prompted by the message: "Please push the RESET switch (or turn the AC OFF power off / WE) to restart" remove the disk and press the RESET switch (if available) or turn the system off and turn it on again to restart the laptop.

Good bye

    Hi spiralvista,

    > I read somewhere that you can make a USB bootable flash BIOS recovery
    Yes, I have read on these discussions here in the forum but it doesn t always work and there is no official support for this procedure. Everything you do with these BIOS recovery tools arrive at your own risk and in the worst cases you could destroy the whole ROM module.

    Best option would contact an authorized service provider because the guy may have professional tools to reflash the ROM module where the BIOS is stored. Then you should get in touch with the guy and ask for help. They can also tell you how much it will cost.

    I'm sorry that I can't give another t you not answer but here it s a user forum to only where you can talk with normal people like you and me no one of Toshiba here ;)

    Firefox continues to try to update each time I open the browser, and it then puts a message saying update failed. It does this on both of my computers. We already have the latest version, the other does not. How can I stop Firefox to do this?

    If there are problems with the implementation at day then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to remove all remaining files.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible.

    • Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data, because all profile files will be deleted.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) standby & hibernation fails after updating BIOS

    Hello

    I wonder if it is common that after the upgrade of the Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) of the BIOS 2.50 at BIOS 3, 70 - Win or 3, 90 - Win, do sleep modes and Hibernate the * completely locked laptop computer? *

    After the upgrade, when I try to enter sleep or hibernation, the laptop turns off the LCD and gets locked so it isn't help to press and hold the power button, open/close the cover, press Fn - F3 or F4 - Fn, the only way is to disconnect the power supply and wait until the battery runs down, or simply be very rough and * disconnect the battery *.

    While the Pro U300 is locked, I hear that HARD drive and fans are also swivel - as soon they were when entering standby or hibernation mode. Very ugly behavior - you can FRY your laptop with something like that. I thought that BIOS 3.70 was faulty but unfortunatelly version 3.90 also worthless.

    Furthermore, I can't yet understand why large (70% of the zip file) file of the package to upgrade the BIOS (3.70 and 3.90)... is the portable other flashers log file?

    Your ad, I understand that the screen does not wake up after its entry in the standby or hibernation mode.
    Am I wrong?

    I noticed that Toshiba has released a new version of the Intel graphics driver.
    At this time the update is 02/20/08 and the version is 6.14.10.4831.

    Maybe you should try to update the display driver too check to see if it would help to get rid of this annoying display problem

    I recommend to remove the old version of the graphics driver first, then install the new downloaded driver.

    Mate good luck

  • Failed to update BIOS 7020 OptiPlex

    Running 64-bit Windows 7, updated to date.

    It is impossible on multiple systems, update BIOS 7020 OptiPlex by using the update for my Windows version found here.

    When I try to run the O7020A08.exe file, I get the following error message:

    The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer's system information to see if you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher.

    I checked the MD5 checksum, so I am confident that the file downloaded correctly. Google results based on the error message seem especially related w / old software works is not on a newer OS.

    Thoughts?

    It pays to check the BIOS version before attempting to update. My BIOS is updated.

    But I can't imagine that this behavior is simply a funny way of showing that the BIOS update is not necessary.
