Explanations requested before the BIOS update

I read in the FAQ of this web site to update the BIOS:
"Before upgrading the BIOS, please respect the following rules:
-Portable is in stand-alone mode.
-Laptop is plugged into the mains.
-Laptop computer must be in boot mode and not recovery mode.
-Remove all PC cards. »

Can someone explain to me the meaning of phrases "laptop is in autonomous mode" and "the laptop is plugged in" because I do not understand?

I don't speak English very well so use very simple words, please.

Hello

It's very simple.

Regarding-> "laptop is in stand-alone mode.
Some series of laptop computer can be connected to the docking station.
If you want to update the BIOS on this laptop please make sure that the laptop is not connected to the docking station in the BIOS update process!

Regards-> phone is plugged into the mains
The laptop can run either with the power of the battery or can be plugged into the mains (AC adapter).
During the BIOS update process the notebook must be connected to the power adapter and do NOT use the battery!

Hope I could clear some misunderstandings.

By the way; The update of the BIOS is risky. Please make sure you use the good BIOS!

See you soon

  • Tecra A11 - 11N - after that the BIOS update programs not loading now

    My model is Tecra A11 - 11N. I ran the BIOS update and now some of my programs, including ITunes, Nokia Ovisuite, payer VLC etc. are not running. I tried to uninstall and reinstall them, but same problems.

    In any case to come back before upgrade?

    Hi evangny,

    I also Tecra A11 in front of me and have installed latest version of BIOS but this didn't affect all installed programs. BIOS and installed programs are different.
    What you can do is load the default settings in the BIOS after the update.

    Can you be a bit more detailed?
    What exactly happens if you try to start these programs? You get an error message?

    You use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?

  • Satellite A500 - it gets stuck one second after the BIOS update

    I knew I shouldn't update BIOS unless I have problems. A message came Toshiba Bulletin Board and I was stupid enough to trust him and I have updated my BIOS. The update has been successful, my computer seems to work very well.

    Except, now when I try to watch a movie, I downloaded every 10 seconds or if it gets stuck for a second and then plays normally and it happens when I play music on itunes. Because I didn't have this problem before, I'm not accusing the update. Is there a way I can go back or how can I return to normal?

    Oh God, what have I done? :(

  • Satellite A300 - after the BIOS update I can not install two OS

    Hello everyone:

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-247 with Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Then I formatted it and divided the hard (320 GB) into 6 partitions and installed Windows Vista and Windows XP on drive C to drive D after having changed the SATA controller mode in the BIOS for compatibility. The computer worked well with 2 operating systems. However, when I updated the BIOS to version 1.9, two operating systems stop working and one of them can be installed: XP can be installed when SATA controller mode is placed on compatibility and Vista can be installed only when the SATA is changed to AHCI.

    Is there is no explanation of what past? And can I install operating systems 2 together again?

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all, I doubt that this has something to do with the BIOS update. I think that after the BIOS update HARD drive mode has been changed from AHCI to compatibility and therefore the OS didn't start.

    Anyway, in compatibility mode you can install Vista and XP without the SATA drivers. This should t be a problem.

    But do you know the difference between compatibility and AHCI? AHCI mode is faster and therefore I would recommend this mode.
    Like you said Vista you can already install in AHCI mode and for XP, you need Intel Storage Manager. This package includes the SATA drivers you need and here is a step by step guide to use these drivers:

    Last but not least, you can install 2 OS. You can do what you want! ;)

  • HP Envy 15 Touchsmart does not start after the bios update

    I had one laptop touchsmart from HP Envy 15 (initially Windows 8, windows 8.1 now) for about 2 months now and have not had any problems, until a few hours ago I tried to update the bios of my laptop with the hp support assistant. After the reboot, the pc is more would start up and took me to a blue screen with the error SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. Everything that I've done short far from a refreshment or a reset has not worked and if I could I would avoid both that I don't have the bandwidth to download windows 8.1 again.

    HI Calsius:

    Thank you for your query.  I will be happy to help in any way I can!

    After the Windows 8.1 update, did you create a restore point?  If so, you can use to restore from that date and not lose your 8.1 updated.  Some BIOS have an option for a restoration which should not affect your operating system.  I did a search of Microsoft and found this answer click here.   Here is a document on the ' update the BIOS'   click here.»  You did not provide your model number and the HP Envy 15, is a series, so I couldn't get a specific documentation for your computer.  Here is a document on ' computer will start (Windows 8) " click here. If you are able to get your computer running and upward I update all the driversand then create a restore point to return if necessary.  If the Bios update should fail a 2nd time, your restore point will take back you to just before you retried the update. If you were to use the recovery option you need go back to Windows 8, or back to the factory.

    Please let me know if this helped.

  • You must stop your request before the engine may stop

    I have an integrated application that uses LV DSC 6.0.2. The application starts and stops the engine tag programmatically. The application works fine, but on some machines, I'll get continuously the next dialog box when I try to stop the engine of the tag:

    "You must stop your request before the engine may stop"

    It's strange, because it only happens on some machines (it seems that it can occur on computers with ONLY of DSC Run-Time installed, not the full dev system. DSC LV).

    The dialog seems to refer to the application of 'control' which tries to stop the engine... it isn't telling me that my devices servers need to be stopped.

    This dialog box does not seem logical, I should be able
    to build an application that can start and stop the engine... and why I get this dialog on some machines but not on others?

    John Paul,

    There are two points that we should ask ourselves:
    1: you can have different loops while in your application where you read/write to and from the engine of the tag with the read/write Tag.vi. These screws has a stop of production which must be wired first the while loop. If you have cases where you do not connect this output to your time stop loop you could access the engine while you want to stop the engine in another loop with the Shutdown.vi engine. -> Make sure you have all drivers of DSC to access loops has stopped before you turn off the engine.

    2nd: I guess he was once an issue of race with the DSC engine condition and how it access to shared memory with the read/write Tag.vi. But this condtion of race must be agreed with the version of LabVIEW DSC
    6.1 or with other fixes for LabVIEW DSC 6.0.2. You can download patches (in this case, particularly the BVRTDatabase.dll) driver update page & of NOR: www.ni.com/support/ > Option 3, drivers and updates > Search drivers and updates > type 'LabVIEW DSC' > choose LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control 6.0.2 fixes.
    You must apply the patches of this as well on your DSC 6.0.2 Run Time System!

    I hope that one of the help of two suggestions to solve your problem.

  • How to open search results in the same window in Firefox always done before the last update 22

    Before the last update, on that I would do a search let say Google and when I found what I wanted and clicked on, that the window would turn to the result in this window, now it opens a new window. Another question is I noticed when I have gmail open in a window and open another window that result is displayed, and then switches to the original which was open, modified window and the new window is reduced in the bottom taskbar, and I come back to open it again. Whether measures should be taken, please list them.

    Hi years.1, Flash is used by many sites to play videos and audio. It is also used by some sites for menu or the overall presentation systems. Some sites also use Flash to downloaders of files.

    Firefox in general will let you know if a site needs a plugin to display all of the content, but you may also see a message on the site. These messages are not always specific to Flash, but can sometimes say that JavaScript is disabled or else referring to the problem.

  • Satellite L300-1 has 3 - after the BIOS update, I get a BSOD

    I have a Satellite L300 1A 3 MODEL PSLB8E. I decided to update the version of the BIOS, thinking that he can resolve my issue of ethernet controller.

    But after the update, my laptop goes on infinite blue screen of death. How can I recover from this injury?

    Can someone please help.

    Hello

    Did you choose the good BIOS update for your model? Was it for Satellite L300 PSLB8E?

    What code you get BSOD?

    After the BIOS update you must always load the default settings. Maybe a bad BIOS setting is causing this BSOD.

  • Can't do the BIOS update for Portégé R500 (PPR50E)

    I have a Portege R500 PPR50E with Vista Business pre-installed model. I am wanting to move to Windows 7 and so initially I want to update the BIOS of 1.5 to 1.6. I got the correct file from Toshiba (bios-20080325071859 containing P0058v160.exe), but when I try to run the application, it fails with "this computer is not supported.
    I checked several times that I downloaded the file for the R500.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    That s strange.
    Did you change something on you installed Vista?

    In different cases, the BIOS cannot be updated because some essential tools such as the common modules for Win XP has not been installed.
    If you are using vista you don't need common modules but I recommend reinstalling the VAP.
    Then you should try to rerun the update of the BIOS.

    Otherwise use the recovery disk and computer laptop back to factory settings.
    After the laptop has been set to the same State as on the first day of purchase, you can run the BIOS update.

    Hello

    Well, if the BIOS update crashed you can do anything because the ROM module needs to be reflashed. This is possible only with special tools and only an authorized service provider has such tools.

    Then please contact the nearest service Toshiba and ask for help :)
