  • HP PAVILION 1015TX M6: failure of the BIOS update F.26 F.27

    My machine was originally Windows 7 Home Premium, and then when Windows 8 came out, I bought a license for Pro 8.1. Updated the FW since then to F.26A and no problems at all.

    Now Windows 10 was released, updated for the new OS, put an SSD to give more subsidy, adding memory and 16 GB is now running on a Micron 256SSD.

    Recently, Windows 1607 came out, I got the update and noticed that my internal webcam does not work. I thought about updating everything I can find and saw a new firmware version F.27. Downloaded, run the executable file, looks very promising and then restart that he arrested! If there was a way to do it using a USB via Windows executable, I can do it but it's too late.

    Can you please help me restore / recover my BIOS of laptop computers? Now if I turn on my laptop, the screen is blank and I cannot see that the WiFi led is lit in orange. I tried windows + B key too and if I do that I can see the caps lock flashes two times goes off, Wifi led remains lit in orange, then after a few seconds caps lock flashes again. I am so desperate to fix this again and I don't want to throw it.

    Can someone in the HP please help or anyone who has the experience to restore / recover my BIOS?

    I downloaded sp77669.exe and sp66782.exe, followed steps http://support.hp.com/nz-en/document/c02693833 but it does not give me the next step to extract it on USB, it just runs and tries to attempt to run the executable insyde. Of course it will fail because I use a HP device just for this previous bios on a USB key. Step in here is misleading in some way, because I don't get the option to create the usb bios recovery. I tried to use 7zip to open the executable file and I can find all the files Roma or bin inside.

    I fixed it now! hoooooray!

    Here are the steps so I did... and then summarize

    (1) removed the CMOS battery for a day (24 h), battery not attached either.

    2A) set the CMOS battery

    2 (b) connected AC, you press the Windows key + B, then held the power button for 3-4 seconds and then release

    (3) did not work

    (4) tried again, repeated step 2, still nothing

    I went desperate... you need a HP HDD to another machine that still have the recovery partition.

    (5) power removed, removed my SSD drive temporarily took my netbook HP HARD drive and put it on my computer pavilion laptop of m6.

    (6) repeat step 2

    (7) not working, lock shift always blink and light up orange Wifi signal

    (8) turned off, which held the power button for 30secs or more

    (9) repeated a step 2 again and viola, the LCD turns on again, then I got an invalid checksum error CMOS and says it will reset the bios Setup with its previous version and I saw it from 0 to 100%. I don't have what it does in time so I let him finish and it restarts and started access my OS HARD drive, of course I don't want to start from it, so I just shot it extinguished/turned on and tested so it will try to start now and he did.

    (10) off, place my SSD back and restarted

    (11) happy again...

    Just so to be sure it it will always start upward and to confirm what version of bios, ive got, I stopped him again.

    Check the bIOS version and I got the latest bios version f.27 LMAO! This thing happened to step 9 0-100% must be a continuation of the update stopped. It didn't reset it instead it just finished off the coast of the update. isn't that great! Perhaps maybe this a defect on the update of hp in the process. (With 1) win10 OS and 2) an SSD is maybe a problem with the update process if you do the OS, I'm just speculating. The operating system that is supported on the site isn't until Win8, although technically, they are the same win8 family and 10 but who knows. I suggest if you got the same setup as mine, do the update regardless of the OS, start from a USB Pendrive and up-to-date in this way if you'll be lucky to find a bootable version.

  • Satellite L40 - 14 H - do not start after the successful BIOS update

    Hello

    I have Satellite L40 - 14 H which was working fine until I thought to an update of the BIOS will not hurt. Seems I was wrong.

    I downloaded the update to the BIOS, it unzipped in a folder and started the action.

    After a few seconds was asked to wait, and then after few more firm.

    After the reboot, I pressed F2 to enter the BIOS and check that it is version everything was fine, version 2.0 so was I left once the parameters.

    After that, nothing happened.

    I almost tried everything without success. Removed the power and battery power, put their back, but still no start. Just the light of the HARD drive lights up for a few seconds and the cd turns a bit, but after that nothing happens at all and completely the screen is black.

    I don't know anything else to try.

    Please let me know what that can do to restore its functionality without taking it to the service, I can't do it.
    I think that may not be cause of failure of the BIOS update I have seen it is the version and was right.
    Is it possible to reset the BIOS? I need to disassemble the laptop to do this?
    Let me know what to do, I have good experience in such things, but I can't understand this.

    Thanks in advance for any response.

    Kind regards
    Stefan

    Hello

    I agree with Akuma. It really isn't that you can do about it. BIOS problems are complex and cannot be set by the owner of the laptop. Believe me you need professional help with this.
    Contact the closest Toshiba ASP and explain the situation.

  • Satellite A110 - 180 PSABOE - Bios update failure

    I've updated the bios with an update from the center of toshiba, but the process is unresponsive and I had to restart the computer. The result is the laptop does not start because I think I lost the bios of programming. I test this http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Technology/Satellite-A215-S4747-Bios-update-failure/m-p method but the laptop will beep 3 times every 2 seconds without stopping and with black screen only. The CD-ROM unit tries to start but that's all.

    If anyone knows a separate solution that replace the motherboard, please tell me to probe it.

    Thanks for your help.

    To me, it looks like the BIOS update procedure has no
    I'm afraid you have no other alternative besides contacting an ASP using m.

    It seems that the ROM module is not flashed on the correct order and the technician could try to relash Rom module with a BIOS version of crisis

  • Satellite L40 - 12K - BIOS update failure

    Hi people,

    It is the second Toshiba laptop, I've managed to screw up. I don't know why, but it seems that Toshiba is especially prone to spectacular failure of BIOS.

    This laptop (Satellite L40 - 12K, short model PSL40E) has a bios made by FRIEND and Toshiba has an update on its Web site for windows that uses the tool of WinFlash.exe made by ASUS.

    The tool only works for 32-bit operating systems, and I had installed a 64-bit version of Windows, I could not pass the laptop.

    Then I thought: we will try to update the bios from MS-DOS, using a bootable flash drive!

    I went to the ASUS ftp site and downloaded the latest AFUDOS (2.41). This is a special version of the afudos FRIEND tool, specially designed for ASUS.

    I ran the tool under MS-DOS, and it will make sure the BIOS automatically confirmed that the binary file was compatible with the laptop model and automatically starts the process of flashing.

    But it crash in the phase of "flash erase". He was stuck there for HOURS, so I turned off the computer and tried to turn it back on.

    Not at all, the laptop won't turn. It does not even ANY SOUND. NO LIGHTS, NO NOISE, NO FAN, NOTHING.

    ABSOLUTELY AND COMPLETELY DEAD.

    So, there you have it. I have flashed dozens of computers (servers, laptops, workstations, etc.) in my life, and I've only had TWO failures.

    TWO of them were with Toshiba laptops. Geez, Toshiba is really the King of the failures of BIOS flashing!

    Hello

    I would never try update the Toshiba BIOS with a BIOS from other support pages for computer laptop manufacturer
    What to say; I found one from Toshiba victory of the BIOS and traditional BIOS Toshiba U.S. driver page:

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

    Maybe you could try to Flash the BIOS using this version of BIOS
    If this is not possible, then only a service provider authorized Toshiba would be able to help you.

    By the way: I've had three different Toshiba notebooks: A210, U400, and now Tecra A11.
    The BIOS update has worked perfect for all series...

  • Satellite P200D-137 - suspected of BIOS update failure

    Hello

    My friend asked me to watch his old Satellite P200D of 2 days. He decides to perform the recommended Toshiba updates, after leaving the machine (plugged) and return after about an hour, he was off.

    Now switch on the machine causes a black screen with just the hard drive, fans and dvd burner, turning the power on. This being the case, I feel, it was a BIOS update he did this failed. Is it possible to recover from this at all?

    Thank you

    You know with certainty that it was done. If the BIOS update is screwed up, it can be problematic, and I'm afraid there is nothing you can do alone and without service.

  • Failure of starting in B50-30 Touch after BIOS update

    Hello

    I bought a B50 - 30 touch notebook 2 months in the United States.

    Just before my visit to India, I have updated the BIOS to version 2.04 to 2.07.

    Now I am unable to boot successfully in the factory-installed Windows 8.1.

    The Lenovo logo & the system gets stuck in a reboot loop.

    I have reset the BIOS for the parameters by default in the system, but still failed to start successfully.

    Even using the Novo button for system recovery results in endless reboot loop.

    Kindly let me know if there is anyway that I can Flash the BIOS to version 2.04 using a USB flash drive.

    I have both versions 2.04 & 2.07 of the BIOS update utility executable files:

    Hello

    Hmmm what to say. Sounds not good and in my opinion, looks like you have successfully updated the laptop computer with a bad BIOS or something went wrong during the BIOS update process
    Are you sure you used the right BIOS of 110%?

    It seems that you will not be able to fix this problem yourself, without any additional help from the laptop technician.
    In most cases, the BIOS has to be flashed again on the particular way

    For me it s clear, you will need to contact the ASP to get rid of this problem

    Best regards and good luck

  • BIOS update problems. After SP3 update, I got the BSOD and cannot be run in Mode without failure.

    Yesterday I went to the AMD site to download the latest version of the BIOS.  I installed the SP3 for XP and got the BSOD but no details, only four error codes after the Stop 0x0000007e.

    Registered under a WinZip BIOS and when I opened it, it was defined as a file of VLC media player, which seemed poorly, and as a text file, which seemed wrong.  Earlier, but I had been able to open it, then run, and then he said that I had to stop so he could activate.  So when I said if turned off, the system said, hang on, it's not over and if you stop now, you may lose files.  So I waited, nothing happened.  So I did it again, and he says that you want to uninstall, suggesting it was already installed.

    If it has been installed, it has obviously had no effect on my BSOD problem.  Only, I can boot into safe mode since I've upgraded to SP3.  And a question he says might be the problem, it's a BIOS updated.

    Have I not two BIOS?  One for the CPU and one for the motherboard?  I went to update my ASUS MB, but who could have got WinZip number, not the AMD BIOS for the CPU.  Anyway, still getting the BSOD.  And when I started, I don't think that the version of the BIOS has changed.  But I could check my version against the latest versions, and I'm seriously out of date.

    I have an AMD Athlon 64 X 2 6000 + 89v.

    Motherboard is ASUS M2N-SLI-Deluxe

    I really don't think the updated BIOS updated.

    Have you tried the method of resolution 1 in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953356 and is the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Intelppm this?

    Have you seen http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=230796A7-54D6-4C31-BDA3-EFD2F7E87A8C ?

    The foregoing despite...

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you tried to install SP3?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  • New BIOS update failure.

    I bought an alienware 17 R3 8 GB of the USA 4 months ago. I live in Turkey where there is only one technical service of Dell in total. Yesterday, I did the BIOS update. Everything was ok, I turned to the bottom of the laptop and slept. But today, I realized that my computer is dead. Thank you for this great update. I'm a regular computer user. I don't know what to do.

    If the fix above does not work, then I think your only option is to contact dell. You probably need a motherboard replacement.

  • irreversible bios update made noisy fan (8710p, 8710w, 8510p, 8510w, fan, F.20, F.0E)

    Hey.

    I just want to share my experience with the update of the bios on my computer hp 8710w laptop and talk to HP support. I've updated F.0E to F.20 and after that this fan went wild. In windows 7 it works very well every boots 2 / 3, or more. All fans of time runs fast, no matter what the system load and temperature are. What makes the portable noisy.

    I used to use linux and it just fan slow down after spinning up to cool the system. It is really something that you want to have, because it becomes a noisy vacuum cleaner with an excellent machine and quiet.

    I have enough evidence to assume that the problem was caused by the update of the bios. First of all, it started exactly after the bios update when nothing else has been changed. Secondly, 5 years ago I had a very similar laptop (8710p) and when I have updated the bios to F.0F, it's the same thing, but I fortunately downgraded the bios and everything was back to normal. In addition, reported others on the internet and these discussion forums.

    Now with the update of F.20... There is no way to downgrade. It's embarrassing: HP has released a update this feature breaks... and there is no way back (except the replacement of the card system, which is expensive for laptops out of warranty).

    I was the cat and then talk on the phone with HP support. They are not really very close to professional. First, they said that my windows 7 is not officially supported and should I install xp or vista. I have xp installed specially for them, and which consumes a lot of time. Of course, nothing has changed. And they actually all drivers for windows 7...

    The best advice of hp support has been trying to install all previous versions of the bios. I reported a failure on each one, then only, they found in the description of the version F.20 could not be downgraded. After reading the forums here for 15 minutes, I knew much more technical support on my laptop and the question, lol.

    After talking with me for a time very long (like 3 or 4 hours) and say that I try to restart my machine, or start with the Windows key + b, etc., they said that my laptop is out of warranty, and there is nothing that they can help me with.

    I confess that the laptop is out of warranty... but only suffers from the update of the official firmware that cannot be downgraded. Yes, I know I'm supposed to buy a new replacement HP laptop. But... This look bad.

    Now, I'll get a replacement bios chip, programmed with the previous version of the bios and soldered to the motherboard...

    Hello to the guys at HP support. They are nice people who try to be useful, they don't know anything about their products :-)

    Hello programmers to the HP bios... Please... Please be better, please learn that bugs can be corrected.

    Problem solved! :-D

    I downgraded to F.0E

    Hello

    I tried to do an update of the BIOS on my DX1210 last night to version 1.5.
    There is a write failure error message during the update and now the system does not start.
    Is it possible to reflash the bios when a bios update fails?
    I have all the files extracted on one but key USB bios I don't know what to do to initiate a bios recovery?

    Well, the BIOS problems can be solved only by a Toshiba authorized service partner.
    I guess the ROM module where the BIOS is stored, not properly was flashed.
    The Rom module can be flashed again using a disc special crisis.

    So I don't see a real option for you: get in touch with the guy from service for repair.
