How can I update the BIOS without windows on V3 - 372

I bought an ACER V3-372-57CW and refuses the computer at startup (the Green ACER splash screen at boot EFI appear same) when my Tablet WACOM Intuos 4 (if not fully functional) is inserted any USB port. Customer service Acer not recognize wanted to nor register the question so my last hope is that a BIOS update will solve the problem.

I'm used to the manufacturers supplying utilities executable flash BACK running under FreeDOS etc but for the Acer V3 - 372, I can only find an executable for Windows 10. Of course, uninstalling the entire system just for the update of the BIOS is not a viable option.

Is it possible to get either one executable for the update of the BIOS BACK or something that could be used from within Linux (with EFI)?

Thank you

Masquilier,

At the present time, I have installed on my Windows computer.  If someone were to tell me that I needed to install another operating system to update the BIOS, I don't think it was a big deal.  I would like to...

1. create a system with the Windows image backup

2 clean the clean disk with 'diskpart '.

3. install any OS they told me that I had to install.

4. update of the BIOS

5. after updating the BIOS, I would just wipe the drive with diskpart and restore my Windows system image.

6. it would take me less than 45 minutes to accomplish steps 1 through 5.  Probably about 30 minutes to be honest.

Use my logic.  Except that I'm not a Linux expert and don't know how to do what I tell you with Linux.  Just google it.  I see that some people use clonezilla, but I don't know there is a command to do the same.

Check with the Ubuntu forum and tell them what you need to do and I'm sure it's possible.

Important note: own Diskpart is priceless, if you n-front-rear of switching between the old modes and UEFI... or deleting partitions... or clean installation of an OS.  However, make sure that you don't accidentally wipe the bad drive (drive).  Be careful.  There is step-overs.

  • How can I update the BIOS without using a CD?

    Hello!

    I recently decided to update my RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB. After installation, I started my computer to find that it would not recognize the new memory. After doing some troubleshooting, I decided to try to update the BIOS, like the 2010 version. I have downloaded the update to the BIOS boot CD implementation of lenovo, burned a disk and restarts, I found that the boot order has no CD contained thereon. Here's the catch: I do not have the supervisor password. It is a mobile phone in hand, and I tried to find the password nothing is done. It's the current boot order: USB key, hard drive.

    My question is, can I create a BIOS update disk using a USB key, or update the BIOS of another way?

    I understand that it is impossible to recover the supervisor password without having served (that I prefer to not do, even if I have to return my Crucial RAM)

    My system features:

    ThinkPad L512

    BIOS version: 1.04

    BIOS date: 2010-3-26

    Controller of Embeded Version: 1.01

    Windows 7 32 bit

    Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Two things here:

    (a) If you run the system update, it should offer the latest BIOS for your machine as well. I never did on a protected device, so it may or may not work, but perhaps worth it.

    (b) I doubt the ability of the system to recognize the new RAM has something to do with the BIOS. Much older than your ThinkPads will take place 4-8 GB of RAM with an old BIOS, older than your machine initially.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite Pro 6000 - how can I update the BIOS?

    Hi all

    I have the problem that my laptop does not start 9 of 10 times with the message: * block 1 BIOS is damaged, call your service man.

    I want to update BIOS but for the Satellite Pro 6000 I can only find an update the BIOS from Windows. But my laptop does not start! Rarely the machine starts, but when I try to update the BIOS, I get the message that I already have the latest version of the BIOS

    My questions:
    * Is there a BIOS update file that is a BIOS floppy? (for example the Satellite Pro 6100 has 2 BIOS files, 1 Windows and 1 making a floppy disk)
    * Is it possible to update the BIOS with the same version of Windows?

    Or perhaps there is another solution for this problem? Has no need to update my BIOS?

    Thank you.

    Hans

    Hello

    I agree with Luke.
    The rom Bios module seems to be damage.
    Either it must be replaced or flashed again.

    But you won't be able to do that! The update of the Bios on the Toshiba page focuses on winning and you will not be able to update if the windows are not running.

    You last chance is an ASP that could check the BIOS ROM.
    As I said, most high, maybe new reflash module Rom help but cela can be answered simply by an ASP technician who checked this.

  • System freeze when it is opened the tool update BIOS, how can I update the BIOS?

    I'm trying to update the BIOS on my 14 (1016tx) want.

    I downloaded the latest BIOS from the HP website and open it, the dialog box has 2 buttons only start at 1, output 2

    Click 1 start, then another dialog box pops up saying not to stop your computer blablabla... and asks me to confirm, OK or cancel

    However, all input devices have no answer at this time. No keyboard, touchpad, usb mouse no longer works. USB ports seem to be put off, since the light on my usb key is off.

    The power button does not work neither. I continue to press it for about 1 minute, just can't turn off the machine and I have to remove the power cord and the battery to stop the crazy fan.

    p.s. I just installed the operating system. (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit) until I try to update the BIOS.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    I managed to fix everything on time. It seems that the problem was caused by the absence of HP_TOOL partition on my hard drive.

    I downloaded the UEFI BIOS HP update and installed it, he created a partition of 2 GB HP_TOOL for me, and then the BIOS update tool work (it will restart the computer to update the UEFI BIOS and BIOS update).

    P.S. Just wonder why HP releases suck a stupid tool. If it relies on a HP_TOOL partition, it should just say that instead of drive the crazy fan and disable all buttons!

  • How can I update the Bios because of the question "plugged in, not load?

    I have a gateway computer, and all of a sudden I'm not into error on my charge battery.  I tried all the things people have mentioned in previous posts except to put updated my bios.  Gateway who told me to update them, but their steps did not make sense.  I downloaded the new software on a cd.  But from this point, that do I flash/update the bios?  I tried to start the computer with the disc, but it did not work.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I have three files

    BACK: Has Criskisk.zip, aceracdc.exe, phlash16, a rom and a wph file.

    Then I have a 32 Winflahs record and a record 64 winflash.  It looks like these have wflash mfc applications.

    So I think I have it all, just do not know what to click on and when.

    Hi ski2xtc,

    This would happen if the adapter is faulty or the charger on the motherboard component does not work.

    To update the BIOS to the latest version, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information.

    You can try to change the laptop battery and check if it charges properly.

  • How can I update the view without freezing?

    Hi all

    I am trying to load more items in a list, as does the Twitter app

    When I want to load more items, I have done the following:

    • I shows Loader
    • I do the networking activity
    • I'm updating the view

    The problem is that the application UI freezes during the stage of "update view" (for 2 or 3 seconds).

    Because I'm not in the main thead element I update the gwendoline in the following way:

    UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    synchronized (UiApplication.getEventLock()) {
                        while (MyList.hasMoreElements()) {
                             ...
                              ScrollableList.add(item);
                              ...
                        }
                         hideLoader();
                    }
                }
            });
    

    Is it possible to update the view without fix it the interface?

    Thanks to you all.

    Welcome to the support forum.

    invokelater enough, you don't have to synchronize the lock of the event.

    I don't know what is ScrollableList, but if you want to use a ListField, for example, you can add all the entries at a time.
    Even in other cases, as a normal Manager, addAll could be much better performance.

  • Is it possible to update the BIOS without Windows installed - Satellie L30

    I have not installed WIndows on my Toshiba Satellite PSL33E. Is it possible to create a boot CD to upgrade the BIOS on my laptop?

    This is possible only if you have a BIOS traditional Toshiba update version.
    But the fact is that page European driver of Toshiba DOESN T provide this BIOS.
    If there is only a windows base BIOS, which means that you can update from Windows operating system running.

    Sorry, don't think that you could do that. Oohhh wait maybe the ASP in your country might help. Maybe the registered maintainer can be updated using a disk.

  • How can I update the UI without encountering a ' Application is not responding do not; completed process '?

    I'm trying to populate a table on the screen, and when the user clicks a Labelfield (20 lines are populated by click).

    When the user clicks the labelfield, following takes place:

    (1) a data segment is read from the SQLite database in a background thread.

    (2) data are then filled in the existing table on the screen (by adding more fields to the Table Layout Manager) in the invokeLater() method.

    I am currently facing a problem of ' Application is not responding do not; process is completed ' when I continue to load more items to say about 3 to 4 times (i.e. After about 60 to 80 lines are met).

    I fear that this could be caused by the user interface thread get resisted for a long time, while the population takes place. Is there another way to update the user interface, so that the application runs smoothly?

    I'd appreciate any help that I had with this problem for some time.

    You must use another thread to query the database and then creating and filling in the fields. After the creation of fields use the Manager.addAll () method to add an array of fields (in invokeLater() body of course).

    You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.

    Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.

    01/21/09

    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 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

  • Satellite L300D - 24 d how can I update the graphics driver?

    Hello

    How can I update the driver for my ATI Radeon 3100 graphics card. (Win Vista 32 bit)
    I download and installed the new ATI Catalyst worms. 10.12.

    If I change my graphics card options, there is always the old driver installed... Worms. 22.04.08 8.479.0.0
    Also, it is not possible to change the settings for graphic resolution higher than 1280 X 800 Pix.

    Thanks for the help,

    Fun1975

    First, you must use the page to Toshiba display driver.
    The use of other drivers can lead to highest GPU temperature and cause overheating.

    But if you want to use other drivers, you can do so at you own risk.
    In order to install another driver, go to Device Manager, mark the graphics card, then press on uninstall button.
    Then the driver should be uninstalled.

    After you restart the laptop, you can try to install the new version.

    > It is also not possible to change the settings for graphic resolution higher than 1280 X 800 Pix.
    The internal screen for laptop supports 1280 x 800 high resolution. It is not possible to choose a higher value.
