BIOS update - save the current BIOS first?

I'm of the Canada. Don't know why he brought me to the American site to ask questions... fail.

But anyawys, I have a SONY VAIO laptop, which currently has some bugs (shading on the random display).

My VAIO Update program warned me that there was an update of the BIOS available that could solve the problem.

Instructions on how to update the BIOS were pretty * straight forward, and did not mention the current BIOS must be saved in case of installation errors. However, when I Google searched, many websites have mentioned that it is very important to backup the current BIOS and needs to be done (which I don't know how to do). Now I'm confused because the SONY Web site mentioned at all that I have to save anything. I also wonder if the other stuff on my computer should be backed up before upgrading? Like photos, documents, etc.? I have not immediately an external hard drive. If anyone can help me with this, it would be great. Thank you.

punxie89,

I'm sorry but there is no software that can create a current backup of the BIOS on our Web site.  Because you are dealing with the BIOS, it is strongly recommended that you back up your data in case where... If you do not have an external hard drive, use a USB flash drive or save it to disk...

  • How to save the current configuration of windows

    Original title: How can I update the "previous safe configuratin".

    Regularly my MS Vista boot doesn't work. I have complete power down, and then restart my HP laptop. The HP BIOS works, then windows comes up with "want you troubleshoot and restore the screen." I say to troubleshoot. After some time, he asked to be restored to a safe point. It's the original appearance of out-of-the-box, with all HP and Windows _ I have to spend 20 minutes to get back to what I like. How can I save the new look of update to the previously Safe so I don't have to do every time?

    Thank you

    Hi spike,.
     
    1. don't you make changes before the show?
    2. what happens if you do not select the restore point and select the option to start windows normally?
    3. When you select the restore point, it goes through the process of recovering HP or does it perform system restore (which is part of Windows)?
     
    Step 1: If it is the HP recovery process, we recommned you don't not to try it.
    You can also get in touch with HP Support team for further assistance on this.
    Step 2: If the windows system restore feature, try the last known good configuration
    a. boot the computer and press the F8 key continuously to get advanced boot menu options.
    b. in the objects menu, select last known good configuration and press ENTER.
    c. restart the computer and check if the problem still persists.

  • Impossible to update to the current version of the software

    My iPad would not be updated wireless, so I tried to do it via iTunes (I have the current version). However, when I connected to iTunes, the summary indicates that my iPad is updated with IOS 9.3.5 (even when I choose Control upgrade).  Suggestions as to how I can update?  No harm in updating my iPhone.

    An iPad 2 can't be updated past 9.3.5. iOS 10 requires at least a processor A6.

  • Is it possible to save the current tabs and groups so that they can be recharged at any time?

    My Firefox crashes sometimes, and when I start it up again, my groups and tabs that I had are lost, so I need to recreate my history window. Is there a way I can save the groups that I have with the tabs on the inside so that I can retrieve them at a later date.
    "I say that Firefox does not save the whenever I close the browser, so I'm güssing there a file somewhere that contains this information, if I know how is called this file I could save it on my regular schedule and retrieve them if I had to, of course the best solution would be to have a ' save the groups ' & 'Support groups' in the menu.

    Thanks in advance

    (PIN) App tabs and groups of tabs (Panorama) are stored in session data in the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    I was informed of a new update for Lela, Lela-3 - 11.9139.94.  I saved the download of a file.

  • Photoshop CC is not updated to the current version on the desktop.

    I have two computers on CC, a Lenova laptop and a Dell Precision Workstation, the two Windows 10. On this last update the Lenovo updated fine, Lightroom and PS, Dell seems to be on the old version of PS, 2015.0.0 (screen with ladies face etc.). The Adobe Updater it shows than the current version. On my laptop the PS version is 2015.1.2, (different startup screen and the interface). The version of Lightroom on both machines are the same, 2015.4. (Current version?). I tried to uninstall Photoshop on my computer and reinstalling without change. I noticed the updater CC seemed to run and update on my computer but I don't think he did it on the laptop, which seems to be properly updated.

    If you uninstall again, clean and restart before you reinstall the cc application, use of the Adobe Creative Cloud cleaning tool to solve installation problems

  • 'Update of the current process' of the LR5 missing exclamation point?

    Can anyone tell my why my older images (in LR 5) isn't an exclamation point asking me if I want to update the current process?

    I was just reviewing some more older. JPG files that were imported initially with Lightroom 2 or 3.   In the Panel to the point the elders 'Recovery' and 'Fill light' settings are displayed, which alerted me to the fact that the process of the most recent is not used.  If I remember correctly, he used to be an exclamation in the corner of each photo alert me to it.

    I discovered that if I right click on the pictures at the bottom of the screen, I can select "Developing the parameters" / "Update in progress", , but I found the exclamation point to be more practical.  I hope that there is a way to get this feature.

    Thanks in advance for advice :-)

    The exclamation point was changed/moved in LR5. It is now a symbol "lightning/lightning" under the histogram in the develop Module. Hovering over the icon will tell you that the version of the process, click the icon will allow you to update.

  • [Table ADF Faces component] How to save the current state?

    Hello

    the ADF faces table component is great!
    You can drag-and - drop columns, sort columns...

    Now, we have an obligation to save the State of the table for subsequent sessions.
    The return of the user wants to get the same State as last time (order requirement or sort of column), even if he comes back a few days later.
    Is this possible?

    I discovered, that this information is stored in the session cookie. But this cookie is discarded in a few minutes...

    Any tips?

    fschulze,

    If you use 11 GR 1 material - you can read about MDS in chapters 33 and 34 of the Fusion for the ADF Developer's Guide - it does exactly what you ask... an update, don't know if it will save the sort order, but the documentation specifically mentions column reorganization as being recorded.

  • In the previous version, I had the choice to save the current open windows and restore when I reopened it Firefox.

    in the previous version, I had the opportunity to save the State of my open windows so that I can reopen the session with the same pages.
    In this version however, I can't find this feature more.
    Is there another way to do this?

    Firefox 4.0 automatically saves your session when you close Firefox. To "restore" your previous session using Previous Session restoration on the default on: Home home page or story > restore previous Session.

    There was a change in Firefox 4.0 to stop Firefox displays various warning messages, but they can be turned back on by changing some preferences.

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
    2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    3. Find browser.tabs.warnOnClosepreference, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
    4. Repeat this step for these 3 browser.warnOnQuitpreferences, the browser.warnOnRestart, the browser.showQuitWarning

  • 'Save the current image' does not?

    This used to work properly.  Now, I'm doing an export / save.  And subsequently has nothing in the file I save.

    I trashed my preferences.  Restarted.  It still does not (x'cuse pun).

    Let's start with the obvious, just to cover our bases.

    Check that the browser or timeline of the components are active at the time, that you want to export from.

    Check the clip is highlighted in yellow, and the playhead is on it.

    Try to delete all of the rendering (via the menu file, generated to delete files).

    What version of FCPX are you running?
