BIOS downgrade for dv2910us

Hi all

I recently bought a computer laptop dv2910us.

After a short period of time, I noticed that the built-in hp update software has some updates for me.

Among the recommended updates was a newer Bios version - F.2 b.

After flashing the Bios to the new version, I noticed that the fan behavior has changed in a weird way.

The fan has started a really annoying cooling method, it works at full speed for a second about and then turns off and then on and out again and again, nonstop.

The computer works very well in all aspects but one, but this concern really bothers a daily computer use.

At first, I thought, there was something wrong with my fan, but after searching for a bit I realized I'm not the only one having this problem, and that some other concern that change their version of the Bios.

Meanwhile, I contacted hp support, and the first thing they suggested, is that I flashed my Bios again for the new version - F.2d.

So I did as they said and it did not help.

So now my question.

Should I try and Flash my Bios to version of factory settings and see if it helps?

Is there a problem with 'downgrading' versions of Bios?

Bios version and - what makes the equipped dv2910us of origin?

On my computer.

I use Vista 32 bit SP1

On board video card

Intel based PC

3 GB RAM

Did not all changes to the computer, since I got it, type every day just installed software.

Hope you guys have some advice for me...

Kind regards

All your versions of BIOS (5 in total) are here on HP drivers & software downloads page.

The original version of the BIOS for your dv2910us displayed as F.21

Reversing a previous BIOS flash may be your decision, although other users of the forum may have had good experiences which they can comment on.

Security concerns?  If you "downgrade" or "exploded" there where your amateur races less and your computer is faulty does not overheat provable, is your warranty will be cancelled?

I think that many HP computers have a design flaw that exacerbates the problem known, accepted and understood operating temperatures warmer for all brands of laptops; It is a fact related to their size.

Cooling Pad: why not a block of cooling purchase, HP offers one for less than $25.00, that the laptop is on.  This cushion can keep your computer running cool enough so that your fan not as often snaps.  Twenty-five dollars looks like at a cost acceptable to try first as a solution.  I have not bought a cooling block yet, even if I intend to do if it can be inserted in my HP xb3000 expansion base (someone has already tried who?)

I discussed elsewhere on this forum HP about the potential dangers of the BIOS flashes of any kind so keep those in mind before making a decision "downgrade".

Confirm that you are using the page for good software/drivers to re - enter your model number or product number to ensure you get the correct BIOS download.

Good luck

    Hello

    first sorry for my bad English.
    I have to update my bios from version 1.3 to 2.0. After that I have problems when I start the system.

    or by e-mail [email protected]

    Hello

    First of all, to my knowledge the BIOS downgrade is not possible.
    Secondly, on the Toshiba page, I found only the latest BIOS (not the older versions).

    In addition, on the Toshiba driver page, you will find 3 different models of Satellite A100.
    AFAIK the A100-188 is a unit of PSAA9E.
    Therefore, it is important that you used good BIOS and that it have updated with the proper procedure.
    Bad BIOS and bad upgrade procedure may damage the motherboard or some problems with the functionality of the device.

    I guess you used the wrong BIOS. In this case, you will need to contact the ASP from Toshiba for the return of the BIOS.
    You might try updating again with the good BIOS.

  • Compatible BIOS ACPI for Satellite Pro A30

    Hello, I have a Satellite Pro A30 which has 1 GB RAM and 2.8 GHZ P4 processor. I was wondering when toshiba would provide ACPI compatible BIOS upgrades for these machines? Because I would like to upgrade to Windows Vista, when running the Vista Upgrade Advisor, my machine will work Windows Vista professional, but I just want to use Windows Vista Basic.

    So I started the upgrade of Windows XP, and once the computer is restarted to begin installation of Vista I was faced with the blue screen, indicating that my BIOS is not fully ACPI.

    It seems such a shame that the machine is up to running under Vista, but Toshiba did not provide updates to bios ACPI. My bios version is 1.80.

    Any idea?

    Hi Keith

    Sorry to say but I agree with the above stanislaus.
    I'm wondering if this laptop has Vista capable sticker? Not?
    Well well, in such cases, it of not a big surprise that Vista can not be installed.

    Of course, I installed Vista on my M40 unit.
    I was a lucky guy ;) But I put t expect that Vista will run on each computer on this world some laptops really supports Vista and some not :(

    By the way: I found this document:
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7201SK002HR01.htm

    Seems that the old A30 is not supported for Vista

  • Satellite A200 - 10W PSAECE - BIOS need for Vista 64-bit

    Hello

    I'm having problems trying to update my BIOS under Vista 64-bit of the system. The plashnt.sys driver generates an error when loading.
    On the update of the BIOS page I can't find no 64-bit BIOS update for my laptop Satellite A200-10W (PSAECE). Also I've seen most of the computers portable ETA is updates of BIOS of 2009 and my update to the newest BIOS comes from 2007 (version 1.80 for Windows Vista)!

    The reason why I'm trying to update my BIOS:
    I have recently installed 4 GB of RAM on my laptop, the screen of the BIOS reports 4 GB but during POST, there are only 3! Vista reports also only 3 GB of physical memory total. I ran a series of landmarks and notes I got using 4 GB are well below the marks using only 2.
    Memory modules have been tested on another laptop and none of these problems has occurred (another laptop of the manufacturer).

    So I really need a sollution to update my BIOS and prefferably a BIOS update of 2009 available for download.

    On the other hand, I was looking for specifications of my laptop on the Toshiba site and I couldn't find my model on the current models, or models discotinued page. In 2007, when I bought the laptop, it was listed as new on the current page of models, so I expect at least to see it in the abandoned list.

    Thank you for your time!

    > 1. Why there is no updated BIOS newer than that of 2007 and
    There is no update of the most recent BIOS as Toshiba didn t release new updates.
    Why? Who knows maybe a new update is not necessary.

    > . Why my laptop is not listed in the discontinuous model (Satellite a200 - 10w psaece)
    Why should it be included as a discontinued model? The A200 series is not very old... so I n t think that this series could be abandoned

  • x 301 BIOS downgrade on non-Windows installation

    Hello

    I have updated the BIOS on my X 301 1, 02 - 1.02 to 1.05 - 3.10 and are experiencing a significant increase in power consumption 20-25% (estimate). I have updated with the hope that I would get a better battery life and the BIOS startup time, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

    Now, I would like to revert to the version 1.02 - 1.02, at least to check if my memory on energy consumption is right and make some 'scientists' compares.

    However, the BIOS 'upgrade' for 1.02 - 1.02 exist only in a Windows version, and I have not installed on my Windows System. I tried with BartPE (Windows-XP Live-CD) but the WINUPDT. EXE fails, a charged battery to complain is not present (and then abandoned the 'upgrade') - 'WINUPDT. EXE/s"leaves just without any action.

    Issues related to the:

    ----

    Is it possible to buy a CD for BIOS bootable image 'upgrade' to 1, 02-1, 02?

    OR

    Is there a switch I could give WINUPDT. EXE to bypass the battery check?

    OR

    ?

    Hi Suriya

    Thank you very much!

    Been there, done that, but I went there again and this crazy thing happened: I * found * it

    The other time, I just scrolled down to the BIOS page found the list of older BIOS which are only linked to Windows exe files. This time I went to the "Additional information" and 'bootable CD BIOS' and in * that * page I scrolled down and found what I was looking for!

    Thank you very much!
