  Having Kingston or Corsair shouldn't make any difference on the available amount of memory. This is because other devices still need to use the same amount of addresses to perform their functions of IO.

• Lenovo 3000 v100 high temperature

  Hello

  I have a Lenovo 3000 v100 (lower plug).

  I use it for activities such as browsing the web (Mozilla), standard e-mail (outlook) and MS word. So I think that I put to the challenge the CPU as in using games or video playback. I don't play music while I'm not working. But it becomes really very hot.
  The fan is almost always on, and it is often running in fast mode. A hot wind of the laptop.
  I can't use the laptop on my lap if I don't want to take the risk of burning my legs.
  Also, the surface of the keyboard gets too hot and becomes uncomfortable.

  Is this normal? You guys have the same problem of temperature? Is there something I can do?

  Thanks a lot for your help!

• Satellite L40 - 14Y Bios Update with HARD drive empty

  I need to update the Bios of my Satellite L40 - 14Y / PSL48E-01F01UGR of Version 1.60 to 5.50 (for Windows XP). The HARD drive is _ * authorized/empty * _.

  My problem: the 'solution' as given

  [Http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07]

  is unreasonable/erraneous. The instructions provided in this site for the "traditional update: BIOS is updated using a floppy ' lead 'procedure 7" for a Satellite L40.

  7 procedure is however simply: copy the 5 files, such as listed in the respective "bios - 20080617131457.zip" zip file on the disk ("+ extracted the zip file containing the upgrade of the BIOS to a formatted floppy + '). This disk is - of course - _ * bootable * _ and its usage with the error message "NTLDR" not found as shall be provided.

  We know a solution to this problen other than the installation of an operating system for the current object of updating the Bios from an operating system?

  Additional note: the attempt to install the 5.50 Bios by running winflash.exe (which is the single executable in "bios - 20080617131457.zip") failed because it "does not in DOS mode. But he could start with a few other disk started micro operating system, such as, for example, Caldera back. We know something about that? The statement: "run the *.exe extracted to the temporary folder. .... . A BIOS update diskette will be generated"as given for other than blackness L40 laptops means that a * _bootable_ disk is"generated ". Other laptops with the same Bios 5.50 as the L40?

  Hi jetztkommich,

  Don t do so complicated: anything that can be downloaded from the Toshiba site, you will find. If there is that only a basic Windows Update the BIOS, you can run the update of the BIOS under Windows. I think that s easy to understand.

  As Al - Ex worte, you can try the update on a Windows disc packed with bart PE.

• LENOVO 3000 V100 HELP?

  After mistakenly formatted my hard drive when you try to install Linux on my 3000 V100, I tried to get help on how to get my Lenovo to pre load (original). How to do this? My Lenovo never came with any disk recovery.

  And when I connect to a machine: I get this: System Details

  System details: Machine type/model Unkn-clean; Serial number UNKN own; Version of the BIOS Could not open the file: "\IbmEgath.XML".

  A U-TURN?

  After 5 days of frustration about how do to try to identify the cause of the "AC connected but no charging in progress" message. My Lenovo 3000V100 suddenly began to recharge. At one point he recharges up to 99% and stops to reload, sometimes it shows 3% remaining just and constantly refill and now its 100% loaded display.

  I do not understand this, whats a lap around this?

  Also, are there drivers to download - IntelWin DVD drivers for this 3000V100 running on Windows Vista/media drivers. My hard drive has been formatted, and I never created a recovery disk. I have re-installed at least while a few other pilots.

• Lenovo: Please bring T500 BIOS update with T400

  Another Member of the forum has recently reported that they were installing BIOS 2.12 on their T400. I thought: it's funny, the BIOS for my T500 is yet to v1.20. By comparing the BIOS T400 T500 BIOS you can see that the versions are parallel, with almost all the same replaces up to verson 1.20. Then the T400 received 4 most recent BIOS, while his apparently poor cousin T500 got NONE. What gives?

  Lenovo: please release of new updates to the BIOS for the T500! It is unfair to the owners of T500 not to put BIOS timely updates. In particular, it seems that the BIOS 2.07 - 1.01 for the T400 can cure a DVI display problem I have with my T500. I'm upset that this fix is not yet available for my T500.

  Version 2.12 - 1.01 of the T500 BIOS is currently available at Lenovo, dated dated 06/04/2009

• Satellite 1410-604-BIOS update > update BIOS Incorrect in the web?

  Hi there again!

  Now with a new and strange issue.

  We all know that tell old... "If it does not break, don't fix it." And if you put in more computer terms, "especially if it's a BIOS.

  Yes, we all know that the BIOS is something quite dellitate to manage. For some reason, we normally feel as if we manage something like nitroglycerine, or radioactive products. And it's because we all know who is put at risk at the moment: our (or sometimes other) computer, the whole system could end up as dead as some pieces of metal, plastic and son.

  Well. I passed through all of this, more than 10 times in my life, and only once, it went wrong. But since this old motherboard was already dead, it was not important. But I've always been EXTREMELY care. Allways cross checked everything before you do anything, allways has a backup and a way to allways and restore that backup... I did COMPAQ systems, which have been prepared in this way. A BIOS update was about about a disc, turn on the PC with the disk in the floppy drive and wait. And if you don't like the results, you just click on 'back to a previus BIOS' and that was it... very nice. And easy.

  A few days ago a friend gave me a Toshiba Satellite 1410 604 to solve some problems that have been her crazy. After you remove a Norton Internet Security has expired, install avast and scan, I found more than a hundred of files infected with a variety of viruses, malware, trojans, and everything you could imagine. Avast all removed, but the rest of the operating system was so unstable that we decide to format it and install from scratch.

  I asked for the restore disks, which obviously it failed because they were lost in one of his trips. After that we had confirmation of Toshiba representatives there is no disk recovery available for this model, because it is too old, we decided to install from scratch like any other normal PC and resigned to losing some of the utilities accompanying that CD and are not available for download on the Web site.

  I downloaded all the software available for this model, including two updates to the BIOS. (In reality an update, but in two versions: Windows and traditional) and prepared a CD with all the drivers and programs as if it were a new system installation. And everything was fine, no problems at all. Until we arrived at the wireless LAN card, but that's another problem is already solved (the mini PCI card for the WLAN does not support the encriptación WEP or WAP, and it is not possible to connect to any LAN encripted wireless).

  At this point, and when I started setting up and activation of peripheral PCMCIA and USB devices (this computer only supports USB 1.1, 2.0 not) I discovered this text from Toshiba Web site:

  "This Bios update adds functionality to your system.
  (BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. This program is stored in a chip memory dead on the motherboard.
  When the computer comes on, the BIOS is launched to perform various functions to start.)

  For more detailed updated information, please refer to Information update BIOS Toshiba"

  (you can find it here):

  Quite specific. Isn't?)

  According to the information in this Web site, the available BIOS fits the following models:

  "Satellite 2410 414, Satellite 1410, Satellite 1410 - 654S, Satellite 1410 814, Satellite 2410-303, Satellite 2410-304 s, Satellite 1410 354, 2410-601 Satellite, Satellite 1410-401, {color: #ff0000} * Satellite 1410 604 * {color}, Satellite 2410-404, Satellite 1410-301, Satellite 1410-304, Satellite 2410 S403, Satellite Pro 2100, Satellite 1410 S203, Satellite 2410-304, Satellite 1410 554, Satellite 1410 S102, Satellite 1410 - 354F, Satellite 2410 703, Satellite 1410-303, Satellite 2410 - S203, Satellite 1410-801, Satellite 2410 603, Satellite 1410-902. ', Satellite 1410-313, Satellite 1410-802, Satellite 1410 714, Satellite 2410-354, Satellite 2410 514, Satellite 1410-614, Satellite 1410 704, Satellite 2410 515, Satellite 2410-504, 2410-702 Satellite, Satellite 1410 S103.

  Yes... it's here!

  Now when you go into the "Toshiba BIOS update information", you get:

  "Ref. FAQ: TRO0000000b07.

  A BIOS update is a {color: #ff0000} * operation is relatively simple and can be done by computer more competent users * {color}. All BIOS updates can be obtained from "BIOS update" Section download click here...

  Note: the BIOS files are specific machine the correct BIOS for your machine should be used. »

  Please note that Toshiba does not disencourage BIOS manipulation, on the contrary: they even encourage people to do. It is not badly needed, but at the same time that they encourage people to 'play' with such a delicate question, at the end of this page, in small letters, they say:

  "Toshiba provides this information"as is"{color: #ff0000} * without warranty of any kind * {color}, explicit or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of quality market or adequacy has a specific use." Toshiba shall not be liable to the topicality, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. {color: #ff0000} * Toshiba is not responsible for damage caused by the use of any information provided, including incomplete or incorrect information * {color}. »

  This should trigger yellow alarms in our minds.

  + "Human error is inherent in man, and it is not possible to eradicate. It will be displayed always, sooner or later"(Prof. James Reason). +

  And finally, I made the mistake. Although I have read this warning, I remembered all these successful BIOS update with COMPAQ and relied for Toshiba. This update was available there, and Toshiba told me that it was for this computer. Great!

  So finally, I disconnected all devices (USB), removed the PCMCIA (WLAN), plugged the battery charger to avoid any possible battery problem, restarted windows, and then Windows started the update (windows version, such as recommended by Toshiba). This drug looked very nice, nothing different from what I usually see on these old COMPAQs.

  As reported by the update program, the system would restart. And in fact he did.

  Windows normally closed (a little faster than normal, but without mistakes, and since there is no other programs that most - even the antivirus not working - no), the computer turned off, all lights (normal) offshore, and then again on...

  {color: #0000ff} * BEEEEEEEEEEEEP... BEEEP... ... BEEEEP * {color}

  OMG! I never movement something SO bad. 3-1-1!

  And now... What a 3-1-1 is here? Award BIOS would mean no card graphics or video deffective card, but it is not true, because it worked 20 seconds ago. There are BIOS.

  He never came again to life. He's still 3-1-1 beep.

  But now comes the investigation on the human factors involved in this accident.

  I found I committed the following errors:

  * (1) * rely in the constructor, even if they have WRITTEN their information may be incorrect or incomplete. (BAD if I was a detective QA & QC).

  * (2) * I cross checked deep enough (until it was already too late).

  * (3) * I haven't looked above for how to make a backup of the BIOS to restore must anything deceive you.

  * (4) * let Toshiba lead me to a path that I didn't walk, just because of their supply of 'increased functionality.

  * (5) * Beleave in Toshiba when they said "relatively simple operation and can be performed by the most competent computer users"... they never said it is infallible. "."

  Then I began the most interesting part of the investigation.

  {color: #0000ff} * "what went wrong?" * {color}

  Obviously, the update of the BIOS has not somewhere, somewhere. And I wanted to know what and where.

  First thing, I discovered that there is another Toshiba search engine called "askiris" ([http://askiris.toshiba.com]) and I looked to see if, for any chance I could get the old BIOS 1.20 version which was installed at the origin of this machine.

  And I found something... VERY interesting:

  GOOD! Or not?

  Let's take a look:

  First thing I did was download all four files.

  Then I took the same version that made the accident: 1.40

  I unzipped the file, which I found:

  And I got my first surprise here: there is a {color: #ff0000} * README. TXT * {color} that was not present in the file that I downloaded earlier from the repository of drivers.

  So I went the readme.txt and I found this:

  'README. CDC TXT 31/01/2003

  Please note that the model 1410-604 is * NOT * listed.

  I thought ' well, there must be another archive... ". »

  But then I realized a name that seems familiar, that is, in the directory where I unzipped this file 1.40, and the name is:

  {color: #0000ff} * 2410A9V140. EXE * {color}

  So I took the other file, the update of BIOS_Win, and I discovered that the name of the file is:

  * {color: #0000ff} 2410A9V140. EXE, {color} * (Ups!)

  So I once again, uncompressed to find:

  Then another issue raised in my mind: what happened to the other file 1.40? What did the other 2410A9V140. EXE are inside?

  * {color: #ff0000} they have two 20 files and 1 046 461 bytes. I asumed that they are the SAME two folder {color} *.

  And the readme file does not list the model 1410-604 in its readme file, so I can't explain it except as a Toshiba error. * {color: #ff0000} they put an incorrect BIOS on their website and has proposed updating and somehow lead to such mistakes. {color} *.

  (Except in the case that one of these models is a name that is different from the model 1410-604, and if that's the case... now I don't know why this BIOS do not work with this computer).

  The worst thing is that neither the other files (V1.10, 1.20 and 1.30) lists the 1410-604, apparently so no solution possible workaround for this problem. I need an original v1.20 to the CMOS, and Toshiba seems to have. They offered me to solve the problem, leaving the laptop to an ASP, and pay only € 95 for the work and about € 280 for a motherboard replacement, I will get it resolved. But they offer no guarantees of their possibilities because is a model "too old" and "abandoned" and "unsupported"...

  In other words, they said 'you don't have to bother with it, just go and buy a new' (something of quite out of my reach in this time of crisis): P

  Thanks for reading so far.

  Now, what I need is to get ideas on a work around for this, my ideas are:

  (1) the CMOS has some startup that works (it allows a roll-back if you have the appropriate file). So I need a good BIOS to burn in the CMOS memory, the SAME SAME model (a backup BIOS) but the backup should be sufficient for the burning program (CHGBIOSA.COM).

  (2) it is always possible that the BIOS might be OK, but the CMOS data has been corrupted somehow. If so, the CMOS of compensation could solve problem. But I wasn't able to find a clear cmos from the outside button, and after disasembling I took battery, with no good result. I try to leave the MOBO without battery for a period more long (I left it about 20 seconds) just in case where 20 seconds are not all capacitors for well pass zero values. I don't have a lot of hope in this point.

  (3) try to get a REAL good update from Toshiba. I contacted technical support several times, and I was able to verify that they are only - phone operators, with a script in front of them, and when the problem is going - out of reach, they fall in the same response: "you must go to an ASP. I still have a faint hope to find someone who really knows a little and could illuminate with a good BIOS in this disc.

  (4) as far as I could find, this BIOS is not any BIOS-manufacturer known. It seems that it has been developed by Toshiba (own brand), so the Phoenix crisis recovery disk won't be of any help here. As well as any other BIOS recovery tool not designed for Toshiba BIOS. But I'm open to all ideas, which could be put to the test more or less safely. (Remember that the 'BIOS-BOOT-PART' feature still works, I don't want to lose that possibility alone of redemption).

  Wwwaaaaoooowww... what a falks long post! Sorry about that!

  Forgive me, but I wanted to be really clear.

  Someone give some tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.

  Please don't say that I shouldn't be doing... I already know that. I already did some research and found my mistakes, not to repeat them. Now, I need to spend, to move and to try to solve this problem, or at least learn to solve similar things. As much as possible.

  Thank you once again, in advance, and sorry again.

  Hi Fenix,

  Wow... He tooked a lot of time to read your post...

  Maybe I can help you.

  The Bios in the website is the right one. If you have downloaded the right version of the Bios.

  Toshiba America, which has most of the time the Askiris you used isn't accurate models for Toshiba Europe.
  This should be the reason, why does not the readme file contain the European model.

  I'll try to do an update of the fresh Bios using the update of the traditional Bios.

  Copy the files on the disk, put it in the floppy drive, press and hold power on the notebook tab.
  After that the laptop is off, press on and hold the key on the left side of space power on the laptop new bar and wait until it turns off again.

  If your laptop does not power perhaps the most, the RAM is default?

  Therefore, if the use of the traditional Bios or change memory doesn't help, and your laptop is still dead you should go to a SPA, but it will cost money.

  I now have my fourth Toshiba laptop and I had never problems with the Bios updates.

  The 1410 is very old I think, so before you go to a SPA, I'd buy a new ;)

  Best regards

  Maurice

• Equium L40-14i BIOS update now no start

  Hi all
  I had some problems with my lappie, checked if Toshiba support looking for updated drivers to slow down.
  They was a BIOS update with specified 2.00WIN an improvement in performance.

  My BIOS is v 1.60
  I'm running Vista and my model number is PSL49E

  There are warnings that this update is only for the models running Vista and PSL49x - so I thought that I was ok.

  The windows Flash update and I have a popup dialog told me that this was necessary.
  When the computer reboots, I pressed F2 and the version of the BIOS showed 2.00
  Then, I left the BIOS Setup and nada!
  Black screen, nothing else.
  The blue light is on power list, by nothing else the HARD disk light.

  It can be reflashed using FN + F and using the usb disk?
  If Yes, where can I download the BIOS original version 1.6

  Thanks a lot for any help

  Hello

  Seems that something wrong happened during the update of the BIOS.
  Possibly the ROM module was not properly flashed.
  If the ROM module must be flashed once more.

  The problem is that the European driver Toshiba page provides just the BIOS version focused on victory and this can be modified only from Windows OS.

  But I found the traditional BIOS on Toshiba page:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  But I can't very well if this BIOS would be compatible with your L40 so in this case, you will need to request the ASP from Toshiba in your country for assistance and for flashing the BIOS using the crisis disk BIOS m.

• BIOS update failed on Satellite A300-14 t

• 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
