  • Satellite L50-B-177 - after upgrading the BIOS can not use the Polish symbols

    Hi, I'm newbie here. This is my first post, so sorry for the plain text.

    I have a problem with the laptop Satellite L50-B-177 1 month of my wife. After update BIOS (from Toshiba Service Station) to version 1.70 I have this problem: it is impossible to use symbols of Polish that comes with ALT + z, ALT + x, ALT + c. other - ALT + a - works normally.

    Problem is the operating system independent (even on the live session of Ubuntu). I understand that this is a specific problem for the location of the Poles, but causes cell useless for my wife (she is a teacher and write a lot of text). As much as I know BIOS downgrade is not available for customers, and the weeks of waiting for the new package of BIOS is out of the question.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Hello

    This problem occurred imadiately after updating the BIOS?

    Have you tried to set the BIOS settings by default once the update is complete?
    If this isn't it.

    Also, check if the Polish keyboard language was chosen correctly and as a default value.

    Comments are greatly appreciated.

  • HP 6710 b upgrading the BIOS to version F.20. Help!

    Hello

    I have updated the bios on HP 6710 b problems. The reason why I'm trying to update is the noise of the fan, it is incredibly strong. I cleaned the fan and the heatsink off dust recently. This is on a fresh install of XP Professional equipped with drivers.

    My HP 6710 b runs on bios F.04 dated dated 02/04/2007, which is quite old. There are updates several of this last being dated F.20 from 01/12/2011.

    The problem is that trying to upgrade to F.20 an error occurs, saying "this update requires version rom F.10 or above" via USB thumbdrive.

    Update to F.10 requires SSM.

    Here are the following installation instructions for F.10:

    NOTE: For flashing the BIOS OF THE system on a notebook of target in
    a network, the system BIOS image must be used with SSM.

    1. download the SoftPaq. EXE file in a directory
    on your hard drive.

    2 copy the SoftPaq in storing files.

    To my knowledge, this means the newest SoftPaq download available and selecting the bios update via the software in question. However, SoftPaq does not show a bios update available.

    How to upgrade my HP 6710 b to bios version F.20 successfully? Help, please!

    I found a solution. All you have to do is to download BIOS F.10 sp38259.exe ! Do not download the sp38258.exe version!

    Version of BIOS F.10 sp38259 automatic installation

    After this update there is no problem to install the F.20 version.

  • Satellite A300 - BIOS downgrade after upgrading the BIOS

    I did an upgrade of BIOS of victory of version 1.6 of 2.10 - at the recommendation of the Toshiba site, for my laptop A300 1N0 - model PSAGUE.
    Touchpad no longer works. I have 2 operating systems, XP and W7 is the same.

    I start the laptop with the Windows Live CD and Ubuntu Livecd and nothing has changed.
    The mouse works, but the touchpad is still dead.
    Any advice?

    How can I find the old version of the BIOS to do a downgrade?

    Try contacting the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country. They have access to the database of Toshiba and the access to the Archives of BIOS.
    I'm sure that they can send you old BIOS version and you can downgrade BIOS on your laptop.

  • Equium M40X does not work properly after upgrading the BIOS

    OK, well... I'm not a computer scientist, but I have a bit of trouble on my hands and I don't know where to go for the right help, so I came here.

    Today I started my lappy to confront an illuminous Green Office... not all it is green just of great spots here and there. Happened to me before, but it disappears after about 15 minutes, but today his guarded it usually hours and is still as he.

    I looked everywhere on the net for a possible fix but nothing helped, even though I've heard somewhere that an update of the BIOS might do the trick, so natually, I did... I came here and searched for my Equium M40X, found, downloaded and installed the latest version...

    but now I have a screen with a resolution of half of what it should be, it went from 1200 x 800 or something like that... to 1024 x 786 and I always get the green screen problem... the program toshiba provided for the update of the BIOS does a backup file (BIOS. (BAK)...

    I can't restore the old BIOS would set the screen resolution, but I'm just helpless as to how I go about it. I find the file, but I have no way to open/run it

    I've had this laptop for about 2 years now, I know probably just getting old and a bit tempermental, but if theres no way you people out there can help, I would much apreciate it :)

    Thanks a bunch - Ash

    Hello

    I Don t think the biosupdate is the reason for the reduced screen. It does not sound like a software thing, but rather a hardware malfunction.

    Is your normal screen during startup? If so, I'd say just remove your existing display drivers and install the new. But if it s like you described then it must be a hardware problem and the machine should be checked by a technician or at least a service partner.

    Would be better if your bring your machine to an ASP for a checkup of material.
    If you need assistance to find the ASP closest, try this link (the ASP index):

  • ProDesk 490 G2 MT: POST error after upgrading the BIOS/UEDI: "incorrect chassis serial number.

    Someone knows a way to restore the serial number in the BIOS/UEFI?

    After the BIOS/UEFI to level v02.05 LAN to LAN 02.11, product name, SKU number, serial number and stock number are empty.

    This results in issues with error thrown POST and HP SoftPaq Download manager does not recognize my system.

    Well, I finally found how to get the active info.

    When the error MESSAGE screen appears and the F1:boot option is available, then press F1 and immediately, press ESC.

    Now, go to the setup and press CTRL-A. Under Security, you will have an additional option. This is where the data can be added.

    He fixed the POST error and HP SoftPaq Download manager.

    But I should have know of previous BIOS updates that HP updates usually suck. Now it takes forever to start from the previous version I had.

    Or maybe I need to change a setting somewhere in the BIOS.

    Must add driver SATA while installing Windows.
    During the installation process you will be asked to add the driver (F6 key)
    Then you could add the connected USB floppy disk driver.

  • Tecra S2: Problems with Linux Live CD after upgrading the BIOS

    Hi all

    A few moments ago I flashed the BIOS on my Tecra S2. Now, my current BIOS version is 2.80. Unfortunately no, I had problems with booting of Linux Live CD like Knoppix or Kanotix. The freezing of the startup process, when the PCMCIA module is tried bo be started.
    What I want to do now is to downgrade my version of BIOS. Is anyone know how it works, and someone has an older version of BIOS of 2005? I couldn't find any older versions on the Toshiba support sites.

    Thanks for all replies!

    Biberkopf

    You re right. On the Toshiba page you will find only the latest version of the BIOS and the older versions are not available on the page.
    In my opinion if you want to downgrade the BIOS question using the service provider authorized in your country.

    But have you checked this site useful:
