• HP Envy 15-j139TX: the BIOS using external storage recovery does not work.

  My HP Envy 15-j139TX got stuck (frozen) and I force closure by long pressing the power button. I tried to start by pressing the power button, it shows a black screen (display off) and the capslock continues to Flash.

  I did research on the problem and discovered that the issue was "the BIOS corruption failure" according to the information on the link below:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01732674/

  I tried to recover the BIOS using an external storage device by following the instructions at the link below:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02693833

  But it did not work. The lights keep flashing. I have my files b.SC. thesis on the computer and their need for pronto. (If not my life is pretty well made)

  I also couldn't find the files for version 10 of Windows (64-bit) to my laptop, so I tried with one I downloaded from another site and I got a BIOS of Windows 8.1 HP site.

  Is there anyway I can fix it soon or get my files as soon as possible. Help, please!

  Have you ever updated the BIOS before?

  If you have, you should be able to recover the BIOS using the Windows key + key B method.

  All holding the key Windows + B button down, press the power button and wait to see if the laptop responds with a message of recovery of the BIOS on screen.

  As my wife continued his mastery, I insisted on his recording of his files periodically to our home network NAS.

  You can remove the hard drive and connect it to a desktop computer to get the files from it. You can connect the hard drive to a USB to sata cable to connect it to a laptop.   Instructions to access the disk by opening the back door are on page 42 of the maintenance and service guide. The hard drive is part replaceable by the user, so you don't have to worry about voiding the warranty.

  Your notebook is new enough to have the recovery key enter BIOS update available. Use the F.65 version in the Windows 8.1 driver download section. the softpaq is at the following ADDRESS.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp69501-70000/sp69886.exe

  You will need at least 256 MB usb key to create a USB rcovery to recover the BIOS with. BIOS update softpaq will offer the opportunity of creating a recovery USB. I used the method on multiple occasions and it worked for me.

  should I worry?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  No, no need to worry.

  Updated the BIOS/UEFI is not a critical task and I would say that you leave like this for now.

  General recommendation I provided to users/customers is NOT to upgrade the BIOS/UEFI, unless they live any sort of BIOS/UEFI problem specific. Just for updaing and update just for the use of the latest verson is not the solution. Any type of update (no matter what and that relesed it) can solve 2 problems but can introduce more than 10 questions. In addition, upgrading the BIOS (for any provider) are risky more because the BIOS recovery is not that easy compared to updates of typical software IF something goes wrong.

  Update/update IF you have any specific questions that you know have been fixed in the new version or for some serious security issues. Otherwise, keep the existing version as long as possible.

  See you soon!

• Is it possible to update the BIOS for the Satellite A110 (PSAB0) and Windows7?

  Hi all

  I recently installed Windows 7 on Toshiba Satellite A110 (PSAB0).
  The version of the system BIOS is v1.30
  I want to Flash the BIOS for you last version v2.0.
  This version is released in January 2009, before the introduction of Windows 7.

  There are two versions of the BIOS download, one "for Vista only' and one 'OS independent.
  I think I have to go to the operating system independent.
  Link: [update BIOS | http://www.toshiba.nl/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EN&selCategory = 8 & selFamily = 192 & selSeries = 236 & selProduct = 661 & STAS hortMod = 478 & language = 1 = 12 & selOS & selType = 4 & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & we eDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 24 & selectedLanguage = 12 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 66230 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

  Independent of the OS has warning: + "this Bios is NOT compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista!" + "

  So here's my question: this BIOS version is compatible with Windows 7?

  Thank you very much!!

  AJ.

  Hello

  I think that this BIOS (v2.0) is not released for Windows 7 and that it has also not been tested with Windows 7. This BIOS has published 21.01.2009 and Windows 7 was released on July 22, 2009. However, on the other hand it s not mentioned that this BIOS is not compatible with Win 7.

  But the fact is that only Windows 7 doesn't is NOT supported on this laptop.

  Windows 7 drivers are not out on Sat A110, but this does not mean that you couldn't install Win 7 on this device. Of course, you can install the Win 7 system, but Toshiba does not provide any Win 7 software for this series.

  Back to BIOS update:
  In your case I would try not to update the BIOS if the laptop works properly.
  Why? Because the update of the BIOS is still a technique sensitive and you could damage it the motherboard if something goes wrong during the update of the BIOS.

• Question of updating the BIOS for Qosmio F50 - 10 k

  Qosmio F50 - 10 k belongs to the series of PQF55E.
  If you want to update the BIOS, you will need to use the BIOS exactly for the F50 PQF55E series.

  The European driver Toshiba page provides BIOS for Vista 32-bit and 64-bit OS.
  But this does not mean that you cannot use the Win XP

  I think you can use the Win XP but the fact is that the BIOS has been optimized for Vista and not XP

  The BIOS update should work also on XP, but in some rare cases the update cannot be performed and in this case, you will need to the Toshiba preinstalled the operating system in order to update the BIOS

• Is Tecra S5 - useful to update the BIOS?

  Recently, I bought a laptop Tecra S5 and yesterday I noticed an update of the BIOS on the Toshiba site.

  I googled a lot searched this forum and found a lot of discussion about people having problems after updating (flashing) the BIOS. So I want to ask you if the update worth it, and if someone with an S5 did. Could someone also tell me if there is a way to ensure that you can roll back previous BIOS version after that an update does not?

  The laptop is precious to me and since living in this time of financial crisis means that I won't be able to buy a new one if I screw this up I want to be sure. Thanks in advance.

  EDIT: I forgot to mention that I installed Vista 64 due to having 4 GB of RAM.

  Hello

  First a BIOS update is not required if your laptops gently. Never touch a running system ;)
  A BIOS update is only recommended if you have any problem with him, for the memory vivid example not properly recognized or so.

  I only updated the BIOS of my laptop if I have problems with it, and that means that I have updated the BIOS on my Toshiba notebooks 3 times yet. I m not a Tecra S5 owner but I never had a problem with the BIOS updates. Some people who said that the update of the BIOS didn't forgot to read some instructions how to do this:
  Before you start an update of the BIOS, you must close all running programs and close all background processes that you don't need. Also your antivirus and firewall should be disabled and must be signed in as an administrator. Don t forget to connect the AC/DC adapter, before start you.
  If you follow these tips, normally the BIOS update must be done successfully.

  A BIOS to a previous version downgrade is possible that anuthroized service provider. This means that you can downgrade it yourself.
  But the newer versions are pre-tested Toshiba and should not cause more problems as before. Newer versions of BIOS problems.

  I hope I could help a bit! :)

• Satellite A110 - update the BIOS for Windows 7?

  Hello. I found two drivers support page to your versions of BIOS for my Toshiba Satellite A110:
  01/21/09
  Update the BIOS
  Toshiba Windows Vista 32 bit 5, 40 - WIN World Wide
  01/21/09
  Update the BIOS
  Toshiba OS independent 2, 00 - WIN World Wide

  In 'other info' page on first bios there is a warning that this version is only for windows vista, and on the second page 'other info' he warns, that this version is not compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista.
  My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?

  My second and more important question is what version of bios should I install if I now use WINDOWS 7 32 bit?

  Hello

  > My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?
  You should be able to install Vista using BISO 2.0 but maybe your laptop will generate some questions
  So you need to update the BIOS to 5, 40 - WIN version if you want to use Vista OS.

  If you want to use Win 7 on your laptop then you must first install the Win 7 OS and then you should check out how Windows 7 is running

• Update the Bios from f29 to f2b?

  Can someone tell me if the update of Bios f.2bs will actually be an improvement over my current bios F.29?

  With the exception of the occasional router connection overnight downturn, (usually after 12 or so when everything seems to hang, but this does not happen if I use a cable network however), everything is fine.

  This update was suggested my HP support assistant. I checked the page to update the driver from the Hp website for my model (dv6-7000 quad, win7 64 bit) and it appears an old bios f.0Une update.

  Please provide improvements that never I don't see if I choose to upgrade.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Please go through this thread and read the advice given by HP Expert (Dragon-fur) on updating the BIOS: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/bios-update/m-p/4102072

  I think take made House are:

  DO NOT UPDATE BIOS/FIRMWARE OF YOUR SYSTEM UNLESS IT IS NECESSARY TO CORRECT A DEFECTIVE/DISABLE-FUNCTIONING SYSTEM COMPONENTS

  DO NOT UPDATE BIOS/FIRMWARE JUST BECAUSE THE LATEST VERSION IS COMER & THIS WILL BE COOL TO HAVE

  ONLY UPDATE BIOS/FIRMWARE FROM THE SITE OF YOUR PRODUCT (NOT HPSA), TOO IF YOUR SYSTEM IS IN GREAT NEED OF HIM.

  I have no idea why updates, you referred has been deleted. HPSA is too bug eventhough it of a great tool for your computer, so be careful, you do everything related to him or her.

  Update my other updates to my product site as soon as it is available. I don't want to make a mess of everything in the end.

  Hope your problem is solved. I'm happy that I could help you.

  Thank you

• Update the BIOS (F.1A)

  Hello

  I have a HP dv7 laptop computer new 6195us. I have Win7 Ultimate multiboot with Win7 Home premium, Ubuntu and Fedora.

  I plan to update my BIOS to the latest one (F.1A) on the Web site since it adds support for BIOS for switchable graphics. I am aware of the consequences of the update of the BIOS without success, so I'm a little afraid to do. I need to know if the multiboot configuration will cause problems? I had also destroyed the partition recovery and partition HP tools while the multiboot process, and I have more access to the built-in update BIOS from HP.

  Can someone help me get the update of the BIOS is?

  Hello

  Did you create your set of recovery DVDs?

  The reason why I ask this is because although it looks like a lot of hassle, the way to update your bios would be to return the laptop to the conditions of the factory and then update the bios as the flash will be conducted outside of Windows when you restart that is about as safe as you can get.

  Kind regards

• Impossible to update the BIOS on my Satellite A660

  Hello, guys!
  When I try to update the BIOS on my laptop in version 2.3 (latest version 1.6) I get the message "install UEFI winflash 0.02:

  + The program will be closed! +
  + There is an error occurred, please check below Articles. +
  + The BIOS above 230 version. +
  + More than 20% of battery capacity. +
  + Is attached AC. +

  The conditions of the first and the last are rooms but the second is not because the battery is dead (always 0% charged). Is there another way to update the BIOS?
  Thank you!

  Post edited by: al_3

  No, there is no other update BIOS because victory BIOS update version is available on the Toshiba driver website.

  I guess you need good work and battery charge in order to update the BIOS.

  But why you want to update the BIOS? Is something wrong with the laptop?
  The update of the BIOS is a very serious update and must be done very carefully
  Incorrect procedure may damage the motherboard!

• Yet WT8 - after that updating the BIOS 1.6 screen is too bright

  After the update the BIOS to version 1.6, as even the lowest setting of the screen is bright when using the device in a dark environment (e.g. reading in bed). Before the update, I simply set the brightness slider Windows at the lowest level and everything was fine but now it is so brilliant that he hurt the eyes.

  Anyone else with this problem? Is there a solution?

  * Brightness * level is a function of * EC version * (on-board controller).

  There are variants _Two in units shipped: __

  THIS 1.10 + and +-bios 1.20
  THIS 1.20 + and +-bios 1.20

  _After bios upgrade: _

  THIS 1.20 + and +-bios 1.60

  EC 1.10 was 1.20 lower brightness level, 1.10 is so much better in the dark situation, * ask * Toshiba * Europe * to solve this problem.

• Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
  The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.

  A lot, I searched but found nothing.
  The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?

  THX in advance,
  John

  Hello

  First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
  Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?

  I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
  So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?

  By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)
