• Qosmio x 300 - 13w - BIOS update question

  I have a Qosmio x 300 - 13w and noticed that there is a BIOS recent update 1.8 for this laptop. I want to this flash as it can help with a problem with the Fn keys and adjusting screen brightness according to the release notes.

  However the download available on the European site of Toshibas only allows to Flash the BIOS of Windows and recommend this method.
  The strange thing is that the same BIOS update of the Toshibas USA site is very different insofar as it allows flash diskettte, CDs or windows and in its statement accompanying notes said flashing within windows present a higher risk to break the laptop.

  What I don't understand, is why European download offers only a flash within the method windows and States on the download page that is that Toshibas method recommended update and still on the American site, it says that it is more risky and give more choice - what gives people?

  Why Toshiba Europe puts its customers in a potential situation of bricking their phone?

  Whatever do Toshiba will always be strange or understandable for someone.
  Maybe you are an expert in computer science and maybe you have the floppy drive, but you must understand that 99% of people do not have floppy drive and don't understand what means BIOS.

  Thus, Toshiba has to offer something that will be easy, but at the same time efficient for these clients of 99%.
  Way easier for the update of the BIOS is double click on the exe and everything will be done automatically.

  Toshiba Europe is not the same thing as Toshiba U.S.. Two continents, two different systems and another right.
  Maybe company policy is also not the same. We can only speculate on this.

  In any case, the BIOS update is here so it is your decision to do or not. If you want the update of the traditional BIOS you can contact Toshiba nearest service if they can get it for you.

• HP DC7700p Bios Update Question

  Hello

  I recently bought an old DC 7700p but I can't figure out what bios to use updated.

  The specifications of the system are:

  Core 2 Duo E6400

  512 MB Ram (which I upgraded to 2 GB)

  80 GB HARD drive

  GMA 3000 onboard

  And there seemed to be a Quadro NVS 280 in the PCI slot and a NVS 285 in the PCI-E slot I can't use yet, as I do not have a DMS-59 adapter

  The problem im having is that in the description of the product this product Intel Vpro technology however since the seller was selling in bulk, I don't know if all of the pc were infact vpro that my pc doesn't have a vpro on that sticker I can't find something to do with vpro technology. Is there a way I can confirm if I vpro, so I can determine whether Flash Bios Update for PCs with Vpro or those without it?

  The reason why I want to update the bios is because until I get my cable Adpater for the gpu, I want to use the vga integrated however I could get only this works if I physically unplug the motherboard cards and I found no option for this in the bios. Currently I have BIOS version 786E1 v1.09, who seems to be old and hoped that a more recent bios will be options I'm looking for.

  Also my SKU number is ET090AV if its any help

  You are the very welcome.

  I would invest in a little money in a dedicated video card with dvi/vga/hdmi, if you want to connect the PC to a TV if you get HD video and sound via a HDMI cable.

  If you connect the intel 3000 video vga tv-out port, you will get no sound and analog video.

  Add it on the map that you deleted would probably not be better for this - and once again, no sound.

  Here is a link to a card fanless for video nice, quiet, at a decent price.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814102933

  One thing to know when you install a video card with HDMI on an older HP business desktop as a dc7700.

  After installing the card, your integrated audio system will be very probably disabled. This is because there is a HDMI audio chip on the circuit of graphics card.

  A dc7700 is too old for the BIOS to make the difference between whether or not you have also added a new sound card, so it disables the onboard sound and the integrated video.

  Currently you will not oboard audio setting in BIOS.

  But after I installed a video card with HDMI output, you will.

  After installing the drivers for the restart of the video card, go into the BIOS menu advanced settings and find the onboard audio setting.

  It will be set to Disabled.  Change the active setting. Save the setting here and even once, when you go out.

  After you restart, you will have the back of Board.

  When you connect an HDMI cable to the TV, you should have audio and video to the TV via the HDMI cable.

  You may need to select the HDMI sound in Control Panel > article to change the setting of the HDMI to the TV speakers.

  This part, I do not know because I have never connected a TV to my PC.

• HP ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO laptop: HP ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) Bios Update Question

  My Hp Support Assistant wants me to update my bios...

  I have two questions regarding this.

  1. the software to Flash the bios is not compatiable with windows 10.  It will be safe to run anyway? (Yes, I have installed a free update to windows 10)

  2 sp71055.exe f42.ap1 (corresponds to the file, it is recommended to run to my i7 from intel, patch notes (always never enough information) provide that it restores or that it provides the original bios.)

  My bios version connected is

  BIOS version / date f/34. 12-19-2014

  On a previous occasion, I thought I already flashed the bios and I was wondering if I need to restore to the original version, or it turns out is a bit 'off '.

  The link you have provided updated the bios with no ill affects (for now!) Thank you for your help

• Bad BIOS update question, bricking of laptop with Lenovo site

  Hi all

  Heat up some way for a first post,?

  I'll be brief, because I'm not in a good mood at the moment.

  Because I'm a fool, I decided to update the BIOS of my Y510. I went to Lenovo website and began to enter "Notebooks & Handhelds" > "IdeaPad Y510," 7758 for the type (I think it's the only one listed).»» There was no number 7758-Q__ on my laptop ANYWHERE (including box) and the auto-detect application says "INVA-LID" (lol). The type is actually 15303 (which is an option if you go to http://consumersupport.lenovo.com, but the problem is it true, too).

  in any case, I downloaded the update to the BIOS 06CN29WW. I ran it, but I noticed when I was in the utility EasyFlash, it registers the current version as being the version of 21/04/08 06CN30w be a fool and not to think to much of it, I flashed anyway. On reboot,.

  "No device detected wireless network support.

  The system is shut down.

  Large.

  I removed the wifi card (and this is the original of the wifi card, too) and it starts right up.

  Here's the problem: I can't find the right BIOS (06CN30WW) file ANYWHERE. The last update on the lenovo site (http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/lenovo/drivers/2412/893.html) is 06CN29WW (21/03/08), but its listed as 21/04/08. 06CN30WW is 04/21/08; the old version is listed on the Lenovo site as new version by mistake.

  If someone who has the power to bed this, please Please update the download the correct version. Until then, my laptop is either unusable or captive via ethernet (that sucks).

  Hi, I googled your problem and the second link (http://tianyi.it168.com/viewthread.php?action=printable&tid=520805 , it's in Chinese), I found a link to the 06CN30WW. ROM file (it is in fact on this page: http://tianyi.it168.com/viewthread.php?tid=520917&extra=page%3D1%26amp%3Bfilter%3Dtype%26amp%3Btypei...). The site requires you to register to download, and I don't know if you read Chinese, I downloaded the file here:

  http://www.Megaupload.com/?d=36YJM3I7

  You should be able to use the same method update the BIOS as described above - http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/lenovo/drivers/2412/893.html , but also opt for the new version of the. ROM at step 6.

  Hope that helped.

  Hi dude

  You are looking at the wrong Web site Toshiba driver.
  You posted links to the Toshiba USA support page.

  Laptop Portege PT131V Z10t-A140-00H005AR is out on the market of the Middle East, but you must perform a search on [page driver Toshiba UE | http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU] where you would find your model Portege A140 - Z10t PT131V.

• Satellite M40 - question on the BIOS update

  Hello

  I need to update my BIOS to be able to use a new stick of ram to 2 GB. Unfortunately I can't find an update of the specific BIOS on Toshiba website for the 265 M40, WXP with ATI graphics card.
  Which one should I install? M70, M100, 3.00, or 1.70, psm01, psm02...?

  Thank you

  Satellite M40 can grow up to 2 GB of RAM, and to do that you need BIOS update memory vivid but compatible modules.
  Toshiba recommended 2 PC2700 X 1024 MB (PA3313U-2M1G).

  What 2 GB module you want to use?

  That's all!

• Satellite Pro A200 - question on the BIOS update

  I have a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7E) with Windows Vista and XP that have been installed recently.
  In the driver of Toshiba page (BIOS update) says:

  "This Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista!"

  (1) should I update my BIOS (1.4) or it'll be a problem for my windows XP?

  (2) anyone has try?

  (3) is there documentation on the BIOS updates (bug fixes, etc.)?

  Hello

  I will try to be very short with answers:
  1. If you use Windows XP Home edition on your laptop have BIOS update with the version 5.30
  2 this version of BIOS is available for days and it is possible that many people already tried. By the way: until Toshiba out something that is tested and verified.
  3. Unfortunately there is documentation about bugs and patches, but the fact is that Toshiba has designed the 5.30 version to support the features of Windows XP Home edition on the models of laptops designed Vista

  Good bye

• Satellite M30-304 - strange questions after BIOS update

  Hi all

  I updated my BIOS according to the good driver for Satellite M30. However, since this operation took the endless problems with screen and wireless card. Also the screen used to display flash BIOS only now them a Centrino, Centrino logo sometimes sometimes Mr. Pentium, I don't know that the version of BIOS is incorrect for my laptop. If I try to re - install the upgrade, it is said version already installed 1.7, so will not continue.

  1. is there a way to force the re - install the same version?
  2. someone can the upgrade me of the correct BIOS Setup for the model n ° PSM30E-0QKJ1-5U, I installed the version was 20070807154017

  The history is quite interesting. AFAIK Centrino logo is there if the Centrino platform is in use.

  The Centrino platform consists of:
  an Intel Pentium M processor
  a chipset Intel 855 of the series
  an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 or later 2200 (IEEE 802 11 b) mini-PCI wireless adapter

  If a component is removed (Intel PRO/Wireless mini-PCI wireless adapter) the Centrino logo will disappear. I don't really know why logo is from time to time, but you did the right BIOS update. There is no other for your laptop model.

  Can you please tell me what is the problem with your wireless network adapter? You can use just sporadically or what?

• Clocked at 20 degrees warmer since putting on 3.87 Rev A Bios Update on Z420 Workstation

  I have a question:

  Not too long ago I put the Bios Update on A Rev 3.87 was considered to be as critical an update on my workstation Z420 (running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit), and lately I've found that the CPU idling at about 20 degrees more hot than before.  I used to hear creaking noises coming from the computer I learned normally come circuits on the motherboard power delivery, but as long as I heard those CPU would be on average around 50 degrees C at idle.  I hear these noises and now the CPU is on average around 70-75 degrees C at idle.  Not sure what the connection is.  HP performance Advisor tells me I'm in the normal range, but I want to just make sure that with programs like Autodesk Maya there, she become too hot and stop the machine.   I don't know what the temp high-end is considered maximum security.  This change could have due to the update of the Bios?

  Thank you for your response and suggestions.  I check in my BIOS power management settings has been developed the extended mode, but the temperature has always hovered around 70-78 degrees at idle.  I checked Intel spec for this (E5 - 1650 6-core xeon) processor, clocked at 3.2 Ghz by heart, and although he said nothing on the TMax, he mentioned that the TCase (which he defined as the maximum temperature allowed integrated processor heat sink (IHS)) was 64 degrees Celsius.  Now my temperature of the case, according to my HP Performance Advisor version 1.7.7517.0 is only about 24 degrees C, but I put my fan a little higher CPU, about 2009 rpm speed.  This makes a little more noise, but my CPU temp has dropped to about 49 °.  "" Before the change of the fan speed has been slightly more than 1300 RPM while the Advisor I have always said that it is in the range "normal".  Is it good to get the speed of the CPU fan like that or do I have to go a little lower?

• irreversible bios update made noisy fan (8710p, 8710w, 8510p, 8510w, fan, F.20, F.0E)

  Hey.

  I just want to share my experience with the update of the bios on my computer hp 8710w laptop and talk to HP support. I've updated F.0E to F.20 and after that this fan went wild. In windows 7 it works very well every boots 2 / 3, or more. All fans of time runs fast, no matter what the system load and temperature are. What makes the portable noisy.

  I used to use linux and it just fan slow down after spinning up to cool the system. It is really something that you want to have, because it becomes a noisy vacuum cleaner with an excellent machine and quiet.

  I have enough evidence to assume that the problem was caused by the update of the bios. First of all, it started exactly after the bios update when nothing else has been changed. Secondly, 5 years ago I had a very similar laptop (8710p) and when I have updated the bios to F.0F, it's the same thing, but I fortunately downgraded the bios and everything was back to normal. In addition, reported others on the internet and these discussion forums.

  Now with the update of F.20... There is no way to downgrade. It's embarrassing: HP has released a update this feature breaks... and there is no way back (except the replacement of the card system, which is expensive for laptops out of warranty).

  I was the cat and then talk on the phone with HP support. They are not really very close to professional. First, they said that my windows 7 is not officially supported and should I install xp or vista. I have xp installed specially for them, and which consumes a lot of time. Of course, nothing has changed. And they actually all drivers for windows 7...

  The best advice of hp support has been trying to install all previous versions of the bios. I reported a failure on each one, then only, they found in the description of the version F.20 could not be downgraded. After reading the forums here for 15 minutes, I knew much more technical support on my laptop and the question, lol.

  After talking with me for a time very long (like 3 or 4 hours) and say that I try to restart my machine, or start with the Windows key + b, etc., they said that my laptop is out of warranty, and there is nothing that they can help me with.

  I confess that the laptop is out of warranty... but only suffers from the update of the official firmware that cannot be downgraded. Yes, I know I'm supposed to buy a new replacement HP laptop. But... This look bad.

  Now, I'll get a replacement bios chip, programmed with the previous version of the bios and soldered to the motherboard...

  Hello to the guys at HP support. They are nice people who try to be useful, they don't know anything about their products :-)

  Hello programmers to the HP bios... Please... Please be better, please learn that bugs can be corrected.

  Problem solved! :-D

  I downgraded to F.0E

• Equium A110 - 276 BIOS update for Windows 7 32 bit

  "Hello everyone, I'd like to update the BIOS on my satellite A110-276 and the two choices are 'OS Independent' and ' Windows Vista 32 bit. I have Windows 7 32 bit on this laptop. If I choose "OS Independent" it tells me ' Bios is NOT compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista! "and if I choose" Windows Vista 32 bit ' he reads "Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista!

  Exclamation points are Toshiba, not me ;)

  So I am stuffed and I need to stay with my current BIOS, or can, I use Windows Vista BIOS update?

  Thanks to anyone who can help!

  Hello

  First question; Why do you update the BIOS?
  Do you want to update only to have a newer version?
  If your Windows 7 is working well, then a BIOS update is not necessary.

  Otherwise, install Vista OS to Toshiba Recovery (if available) disk, the BIOS update and then change to Win 7 ;)

• Satellite A350 - 22Q - BIOS update crashed

  I have a big problem because of Toshiba update official Bios for the A350 models.

  After downloading & unpacking of the Bios Update WinPhlash just started upgrading the Bios without PROMPTING. This is NOT acceptable! After 10 seconds or if the laptop froze just straight up. Stayed that way for 3 minutes or more. The only way to turn it off was by removing the power cord & battery. Cranking up again gave me nothing but black screen.

  I tried various recovery options, for the most part Phoenix crisis disk Build. But unfortunately no luck.

  Calling customer service of Toshiba (Netherlands) is not really useful at all. Tell me a bios update is not a smart thing to do. My answer-> then why you put it on your website and an update of the BIOS is sometimes necessary for the upgrade of the machine. After that the guys asked me to send the laptop to a notoriously bad service center (for laptops) DYNAFIX. Of course I wouldn't do this if I don't want my laptop is still more damaged.

  Now I probably have to replace the BIOS chip. It will cost me my own tithe that my laptop is no longer guaranteed.

  I'm very angry at Toshiba to put such a method of updating the dangerous bios on their website. I am an advanced user and rarely have questions, that I can't fix on my own. BIOS updates must be made in the DOS environment, not with WinPhlash Windows.

  If Toshiba or anyone who believes that it was my mistake, by all means try it yourself. Also google the problem, you will see tons of users of Toshiba laptops posted on the forums with this problem of WinPhlash.

  Please Toshiba, remove or change the bios update and find a solution for the customer to chip away at. I'll be happy to hear from you with a solution.

  Hey Buddy,

  I'm sorry to hear that, but I must say this can happen from time to time. Nobody is perfect, also no perfect software. But may I ask why you updated the BIOS?

  Of course, in some cases, it might be necessary, but to be honest, if everything worked correctly in the past and you didn t have any problem I n t see a reason to make such update. Your laptop will not work faster with the new version of the BIOS, it s a little bug fixing but that doesn t mean that each update of the BIOS needs to be done because nobody uses really all the functions of the laptop.
  As is the saying: never touch a running system! ;)

  If you make an update of the BIOS, check the following things before:
  -Disable the antivirus and firewall
  -Close all running programs
  -Make sure that you are logged on as an administrator
  -Unzip all files from zip archive

  I made such a function BIOS update Windows 5 times now and everything worked and no problems at all. Update was made in a few minutes and laptop restarted correctly. After updating the BIOS that I loaded the default settings to ensure that the new BIOS settings are correct.

  In any case, now it s too late and your only option is to reflash the ROM module as MannerhagenVPO has already written. This can be done a service allowed because they have special tools for this case and specially designed for this model of laptop. With these tools, they can recover the BIOS and bring your laptop to life.

  Then get in touch with the guy and ask for help. They can help you get rid of this problem.
  Moreover, I don't see a reason why Toshiba should remove this BIOS update. All updates will be pre-tested if they work or not. Also from my own experience, I can say that the updates are always ok and don t causing problems.

  I think that you you will find similar discussions on failure update BIOS when using Google, but who cares? Can you tell us that these users quite correct (closed antivirus, firewall, etc.). I doubt that
  The next point is that you will also find these Google results if you search for other models from other manufacturers of portable computers. This isn't a matter of Toshiba, it s in general risk of update of the BIOS and no one can give you a guarantee that this update will be correctly. :)

  Good day!
