• What the correct update BIOS for my Lenovo R61?

  Main question:

  I have a Lenovo R61 15.4 "laptop computer screen with IEEE. 1394  What is the good BIOS update version for my system?

  * The version on the Web the matrix file BIOS Lenovo page, 7KET72WW (1.22 - 1, 06), seems wrong and outdated compared to this page:

  http://74.125.45.104/search?q=cache: jqsAECxdXDoJ:www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-68183.html+7OET24WW&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=us

  which indicates that it should be 7OETC1WW (2.21). **

  Background:

  This Lenovo R61 laptop has always been slow and difficult, with performance much worse than my old XP system with worst record.  Originally, I tried to reinstall Vista to remove the useless factory software I thought may be responsible for slowing down the system.  This was the beginning of many problems.  I had added a stick of 1 GB 2 brand new RAM for the system, and I couldn't properly reinstall Vista with the ThinkVantage tools.  When I contacted the support, they told me it was due to the system are different from the original specifications (additional RAM).  It's ridiculous, but also to correct.  In addition, my Windows key at the bottom of the laptop sticker was scratched and unreadable, directly from the factory.  Support told me that the key is not useful or necessary because the only way to reinstall Vista is using the ThinkVantage tools.  Once again, ridiculous, but after removing my extra RAM, I was able to reinstall Vista.  This did not help the performance, even with the additional software deleted.

  On the current problem:

  I have experience several daily BSOD. Analysis of accident of Vista generally points to the USB driver, sometimes the network adapter driver and often does not return anything.

  I want to update my BIOS, but I don't know which version to use.  According to the information of the system, my system model is 8932CTO. The current system BIOS is the 7OET24WW version (1.03).  I did a search on Google for this BIOS and found the following cached page:

  [ http://74.125.45.104/search?q=cache: jqsAECxdXDoJ:www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-68183.html+7OET24WW&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=us] It lists the following:

  This version supports the following systems:
  -ThinkPad R61 - 15.4-inch wide screen models
  Machine types: 8930 8933, 8934, 8935, 8936, 8937
  -ThinkPad R61i - model widescreen 15.4 inches with IEEE 1394
  Computer type: 8932

  The latest BIOS for my system model number is indicated as:

  The first version of this list, 7OET24WW (1.03) matches the BIOS on my system, which indicates that I have to upgrade to the current version, 7OETC1WW (2.21).

  This page shows that my system model supports IEEE 1394 (Firewire), and of course, the Device Manager shows a RICOH OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller, even if my laptop is not a firewire port!  Then...

  QUESTION: why does my laptop have an IEEE 1394 controller, but no port?  It is used to something else? Safely disable the controller driver if it is pointless?

  The same page also lists the history of BIOS for thise models, and the current BIOS version does not match the name on the matrix of the file BIOS Lenovo - ThinkPad page here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=BMOE-3VAM8Y#r

  My computer is a R61 widescreen 15.4 inches with IEEE 1394 (at least the controller).  NONE OF THESE VERSIONS OF BIOS MATCHES THE OTHER PAGE, I FOUND, WHICH SEEMS MORE ACCURATE!  Also, only one of the many, many BIOS versions presented on this page are from 2008.  So the page of the Lenovo BIOS file matrix totally out of date or what?

  What version of BIOS should I use to upgrade my system, and what else can I diagnose these BSOD and performance problems?

  Agotthelf is correct; 2.21 is the latest version of the BIOS, and to install it, you must burn it to a CD as an ISO file. I was too lazy to do.

  My R61, too, is the 15.4-inch (1680 x 1050) model, but unlike you, I have XP Professional and a 1394 a miniport. The reason your system shows Firewire, it's Ricoh Board which controls the 4 - 1 or 5-in-1 memory card reader includes the R61 Firewire controller. I guess it's convenient is you decide, as I do, to add a CardBus (or, as the case may be, an ExpressCard) with full major ports 1394 a(1) FireWire, 1394b (FireWire 2), or both.

• Satellite L750D - update BIOS 2.1 and its problem

  Hello

  I have little problem. I was downloaded from your website 2.1 BIOS for Toshiba Satellite L750D (PSK32E).

  I have been updating BIOS 2.1 and start the problem with the sound. When I start the game, music or else minutes 2 first sound plays correctly but then it stops without reason. No noise at all. I've been reinstalled op system but the problem is still there.

  Sound works for 2 minutes only then is completely off. Each application to start with sound plays 2 minutes and stop all silent is. I did a probe on my laptop the mother she s a computer portable twin. I have updated bios same problem 2 minutes and then no sound. My OS is win 8 64 pro my laptop mother is with win 7 x 64 premium.

  Two BIOS updated ver 2.1 on L750D and the problem is the same. Please fix the BIOS.

  The BIOS seems to be very old. I was released nearly 1.5 years ago, so to be honest, I doubt that his and BIOS problem.

  I had the similar problem with my other laptop equipped with a Realtek sound card.
  The sound appeared after connection and remove the headphone jack
  But I could solve this latest installation updated audio driver the Realtek driver page.

  But it seems that your Satellite does not support Realtek audio chip but the Conexant audio chip.
  Therefore, the solution could not be useful for you.

  However, I think that you need to update the audio driver. I recommend you google for driver Conexant SmartAudio HD and test the latest version of the driver available.
  On the internet, I find the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver version 8.65.9.51 for Win 7 / 8 Win / Win 8.1
  Not quite sure if this is the latest version, but you can test it.

  To manually update your driver:

  1. go into the Device Manager (right click on my computer, choose manage and then find Device Manager in the left panel)
  2. right click on the device you want to update and choose Update driver software
  3. choose Select the location of the new driver manually and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the driver

• BT not detected after update BIOS and windows 8.1 & wifi adapter with envy J000 Touch series (J001tx)

  Hi, I have an Envy Touchsmart J001 TX laptop.  I've upgraded to 8.1 Windows a few days back and my pc was working fine. Yesterday, my WIFI and Bluetooth stopped being detected.

  I checked Device Manager and it does not show the adapters. My system has BT Ralink and Realtek wifi b/g/n.

  Restart the system, WiFI present themselves and worked normally, but on next reboot disappeared again.

  The physical plane mode button is orange and pressing or off change in the status of shows like airplane on or off but the notification area icon mode shows no change.

  The network and sharing Center shows not router WIFI in the settings of the card and even the menu of configuration of Windows 8 don't tell no detected wirelessadapter.

  I've updated my drivers and even my BIOS. Earlier I got the version of BIOS INSYDE F.24 and current installed BIOS is INSYDE F.53. Here is the log file in the folder SWsetup containing the unzipped BIOS file. I think that the BIOS is not installed correctly. Please analyze the log file and do not tell if you see something wrong.

  Has anyone else had a similar problem with the update of the BIOS, or with WIFI after Win 8.1 update?

• Firefox 17, text on screen is not be re-written correctly when erasing the background is necessary, highlighting the text may update and correct the problem

  I had to downgrade to Firefox version 16.02 to solve this problem.

  Since Firefox version 17 out there is a problem with the screen fonts not being re-written correctly when a background clear condition occurs in Windows is caused by an overlap of another application window or scrolling the active window in firefox.

  If the text is highlighted using the right button of the mouse and then the text is correctly updated, just scroll up and down does not solve the problem.

  Other versions of Firefox did not have his problem

• Portege 3410 - how to update BIOS and install XP?

  Hello, I have two questions on Portege 3410.

  First: I can't update the BIOS (current usage, 1.50 there, I want to update to 1.60). Instruction does not work: I connect Teac USB into USB port, turn on the USB - FDD emulation to activate, portable switch with pressed F12, the message «Ready to update BIOS...» "appears, I touch in a hurry, but nothing happened. What's wrong?

  The other: I can't install Windows XP on laptop (it does not start from USB disk or external USB DVD drive).
  How can I install Windows?

  Thank you.
  Mikhail

  Hello

  Just a question: why do you want to update the BIOS? Is this really necessary?
  I ask this question because this update is always somewhat risky and you might damage it ROM module
  In any case, have you tried to load the default settings in the BIOS before you start the update and install XP?

  You can install XP without CD. Therefore, you must copy the folder i386 on the HARD drive from another computer and the boot to the HARD drive files, I think you need a little search with Google to find a workaround for this. You should find enough! ;)

• Tecra 9100 - BIOS block 1 damaged and the update of the BIOS?

  Hello

  I have an old Tecra 9100 with years of quality service, and it is my first problem, but is a great, after a forced restart the display shows the message BIOS 1 damaged block. I tried to fix the BIOS upgrade to the latest version I found, the 1.6 one, but it is a version of Windows (to upgrade a Toshiba computer I think) and when I try to run it in another computer to generate a floppy and upgrade the BIOS drive, I can't, because a common message from modules of Toshiba.

  Its there any floppy BIOS image - archive I can download to perform the BIOS update the BIOS?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  All you can find is stuff on the Toshiba support page. I don't know where you live, but try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer.
  They have access to the database of Toshiba and they can get it for you. Call and ask for help. I'm sure they will help you fix this BIOS.

• Satellite M10 and update BIOS

  Hello

  trying to make my first laptop BIOS update on my BIOS 1.40 M10. Date of 2003.
  I downloaded version 1.50 updated windows and where to extract the zip file and it starts to run I get "Toshiba common modules is not installed.

  But back to the driver downloads and download Modules common cmod-en20071113104042 and install. Run the BIOS update and I get the same common Modules not installed.
  Anyone can shed some light on my problems?

  The machine performs a clean install of XP Professional Service pack 3 and has BIOS version 1.40 and 512 MB RAM.
  I want to upgrade the RAM and have read on Toshiba takes the M10 supported 2 GB of RAM with the bios update.
  At the minute when I go to crucial.com and scan the system tells me max supported is 1 GB.

  No answers or help would be welcome.

  Hello

  At first, I must say that the BIOS update will not change with the support of RAM. It depends on the hardware platform and not update the BIOS. So it's not going to help at all. Your laptop can handle with 2 GB of RAM maximum end of the story.

  Satellite Pro M10 is old enough laptop model and I am 100% sure, update the BIOS, as a file is OK, but right now, there is no SP3 and I can imagine that there is the problem.
  So if you are satisfied, how does your laptop leave and enjoy this good old classic. Don't don't need BIOS update at all.

• Tecra A9 - 11i: update Bios problem and AHCI works not

  Hello

  I have trouble to update BIOS for a Toshiba Tecra laptop A9 - 11i, (with the last update of the official European website of toshiba); After running the bios (version 3.2.8) Launcher
  "I get the message" this computer is not supported "? The latest version of the bios installed is 1.5, date 05/07/2007

  also if I can add a few questions:
  the function keys tdlo can't seem to work;
  led for the "FN" key light turns on when the key so assume the FN key works, but there is no response when you press on the "FN" key and one of the number keys on the f - I installed the software of the control unit as have been advised but this has not resolved.

  I also have difficulty accessing the AHCi ' mode to work in Windows XP Pro SP3. I chipset intel 965 m + ICH8M, the Intel ICH8M serial ata storage controller-2828 present in the Device Manager - the matrix storage manager does not work so I copied the file iastor.sys from the folder Manager matrix in C:/Windows/Driver/system32 and changed the registry as read elsewhere on the forum but have had no joy.

  any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much.

  This error message appears if you want to update a BIOS that is not compatible with your model of laptop.
  Toshiba pilot European page provides the BIOS 2.10Win for this model of laptop.
  If you have used certainly bad BIOS.

  > There is no response when you press on the "FN" key and one of the number keys f
  Controls of common modules the FN keys.
  If the issue should be resolved install common Modules v 6.06.00, 4.30.15 utilities
  Notes; You need to press FN + 1, 2, 3 etc. DON T press FN + F1 etc.

  First be sure that the AHCI is enabled in the BIOS.
  In addition, the Intel Storage Manager controls the AHCI so you should integrate the AHCI driver to CD Win XP as described here:

But to be honest, I did not play any Blue Ray DVD on my computer, so if a problem exists with the current firmware of the device I need to do? or just curiosity, I'm sorry I lose you, update/upgrade uses the drivers to recommend running the operating system preinstalled in this case Windows Vista?

  If problems exist, then try to upgrade with the appropriate firmware listed in the driver version Vista.

  Some of the improvements will work and others cannot.  It is unfortunate but it is like that between Vista and Windows 7.

  But... If everything works well, change the drivers and/or firmware and invite trouble.

  Best regards

• Envy 17 3010eg: upgrade to Windows 8 and update Bios: no switchable graphics and other problems

  Hello

  I'm of the Germany, but I'll do my best to write this in English.

  The product name and number: HP Envy 17 3010eg {information}

  Operating system: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

  Drivers: everything up to date

   

  Long story short,

  I just wanted to upgrade the pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit to the new Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.

  So I waited until the driver for Windows 8 support has been completed by HP.

  This month, I noticed that HP has released a graphic driver for Windows 8.

  Happy as I was I installed Windows 8 immediately via upgrade function.

  I installed all the missing drivers.

  * Update Bios to F.08*

  I noticed that I had to upgrade my Bios to version F.08 to install new graphics drivers. I did the upgrade and installation of the driver.

  BUT after the update to the version of the Bios the laptop only F.08 recognized the AMD graphics card. The integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics card had disappeared!

  Even after installing the new graphics driver, the Intel card is still missing in the 'Device Manager' of Windows 8.

  The battery life is now about 1 1/2 to 2 hours maximum because the laptop always uses the card AMD.

  So I looked in the 'new' Bios, but I have not found a way to change the graphics card. So I think that there is only a 'software' switch to do so.

  I have installed "AIDA64"and look under "Graphics".» The graphics card Intel HD 3000 has been mentioned as 'disabled'.

  Nice, but I have no idea how to turn it on again.

  So I re-installed Windows 8. This time, I did a completely clean install. With the same results.

  So, I switched to Windows 7, and there you go. Two graphics cards are displayed in "Device Manager" and the switchable graphics feature works perfectly (! even with the new version of the Bios F.08!).

  * Tested in Bios Version F.09*

  Yesterday, I noticed another Bios Update. This time in version F.09.

  So, I updated the Bios with Windows 7 installed.

  Everything went well (I thought!).

  Once, I've done a completely new installation of Windows 8 to take a peek, if Intel HD 3000 card will be recognized this time.

  BUT without success...

  So, I thought that the problem could only be Windows 8, because Windows 7 works perfectly.

  * Problems with Bios Version F.09*

  BUT then, I noticed a strange behaviour of my laptop:

  -proximity sensor no longer works

  -the keyboard backlight cannot be (DIS-) activated

  -the brightness of the backlight is half as usual

  -internal fans are going crazy-> they accelerate without reason (laptop is idle) and won't slow down until I do a re-boot

  * Version of the Bios downgraded to F.05*

  So, I spent to the version of the Bios to the older Version available: F05

  And I was a little shocked by the result.

  Windows 8 acknowledged the Intel HD 3000 graphics card again!

  The problem is the Bios!

  Then, I upgraded the version of Bios version to see which version of the cause of the problem:

  Œuvres F05

  Œuvres F.06

  F.08 does not work

  F.09 does not work

   

  So I decided to stay with the version F.06

  BUT to install the new Windows graphic 8 driver you need the version of Bios F.08 (min.).

  I installed the driver anyway...

  I found myself with a black screen... I had to reinstall Windows completely.

  Yet more long story short,

  I ended up using Windows 8 Pro 64 - bit with the graphics card AMD only.

  I also updated the Bios (back) to the version F.08 dispelled the problems with the version of the Bios F.09 I mentioned.

  So for the moment I am absolutely no idea what the problem might be.

  The support has not yet heard of these problems and I have not found any website which explains the same problem.

  Every posting, I found explains that the AMD card is not recognized by Windows 8 but Intel HD card.

  Someone else got the same problems?

  What do you think? Is it really a problem with the Bios?

  What can I do to solve the problem?

  for me the best driver are:

  Works Perfekt (cards during execution of the F06 BIOS and a map when F08/09) and are updated often.

• I just wanted to know at all, if you encounter a problem with the update of creative cloud as if I was (error 1001), I discovered that my Webroot AntiVirus has been the origin of the problem. I turned it off and it updated correctly. Hope that helps some

  I just wanted to know at all, if you encounter a problem with the update of creative cloud as if I was (error 1001), I discovered that my Webroot AntiVirus has been the origin of the problem. I turned it off and it updated correctly. Hope that helps some people I've seen so angry about it here by searching for the answer myself.

  Thanks for sharing this, yes turning Firewall works.

• Satellite L350 updated Bios to pad 2.1 and lost

  Hello

  As indicated above for the update Bios to 2.1 later I lost the functionality of numeric keypad, not the right side as if it were a good keyboard.
  The above keys work IE delete scroll etc.

  The numlock light does not illuminate, but it does if I activate the keys on the stretch main qwerrty.
  Is their any way to reload the bios it won't let me because I have the latest or downgrade may not be like that until anothrer update.

  By the wy am Windows 7 any info would be greatly apreciated thanks

  Hello

  Normally you press Numlock on the keyboard to enable it.
  Check this box!

  If it s not working do not you should load the default settings in the BIOS. Maybe it works.

  Last but not least just be sure it s not a hardware problem, can test you it with the factory settings?
