• 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.

• Re: How I've updated the BIOS on my NB100?

  Hello world.

  Bit of a newbie here, so apologies for that.

  How to upgrade the BIOS on my NB100? There is no use to do so I'm a bit confused.

  Thank you

  Tim

  Hey,.

  The update of the BIOS can be down with the BIOS update you can download from the official page of Toshiba. This package contains an updated software too and automatically update the BIOS.

  Can I ask why you want to update the BIOS?
  I'll just inform you that it of not necessary if everything is ok with your laptop, because this update is a bit risky and you might destroy the ROM module everything t he update just for fun.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 do I update the BIOS on the Tecra R940?

  Thank you

  On the BIOS Toshiba download page you can download the version of WIN. This means once downloaded BIOS, you must run it under Windows running as all other applications.
  By the way: is there a reason to update the BIOS? Have you noticed any problems with your machine?

• 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.

  'Smart TV' is a term used to describe TVs that incorporate Internet marketing functions.  You can connect your 'smart TV' to your network home directly, without the need for an intermediate device.

  If you have already a device such as a Blu - Ray, Roku player, game console, etc., that can connect to the Internet and then to your TV (to provide access to services such as Netflix and other streaming media sites), then you don't need a smart TV - although from what I can tell, 'resourcefulness' will appear on the models more not just high-end models.

• How to use the utility to update (uefi) BIOS HP

  Notebook: G62 a10em

  I downloaded the BIOS update tool from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063 & lc = on & cc = us & dlc = in & sw_lang = & product = 4226...

  and it is installed on my USB key.

  Now, how can I update my bios?

  The USB key contains now:

  BIOS

  | - Current (empty folder)

  | - New (empty folder)

  | - Previous (empty folder)

  BIOSUpdate

  -CryptRSA.efi

  -CryptRSA32.efi

  -HpBiosUpdate.efi

  -HpBiosUpdate.s09

  -HpBiosUpdate.sig

  -HpBiosUpdate32.efi

  -HpBiosUpdate32.s09

  -HpBiosUpdate32.sig

  my current version of bios is f. 08

  I did a cut above.

  After looking at the appropriate file you downloaded, it says this:

  "Prerequisites .
  -Microsoft .NET 2.0 is required. UEFI and Custom Imaging - the HP BIOS update must be run from a FAT or FAT32, partition with a volume of the "HP_TOOLS" name This Installer gives you the option to install on the hard disk (HDD) or USB. If you install on the HARD disk and the HP_TOOLS partition is not present, Setup prompts to create the HP_TOOLS partition. If you install on a USB key, Setup renames the partition on the USB in HP_TOOLS. If you use a custom image, you can create the HP_TOOLS partition manually with the type FAT32 and that the volume HP_TOOLS name. ATTENTION:-the UEFI system partition is not protected and can be removed. -Backup of the computer by using the complete PC Backup feature of Microsoft Windows Vista does not save the UEFI system partition. For these reasons, HP recommends that you place no additional data on the UEFI system partition. Because the partition is not backed up, corruption or failure of the partition will result in the loss of all data on the partition, as well as the loss of UEFI functionality. "For more information, visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup"

  There is little documentation on how to use it, but a Member here figured it out.

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/operating-systems-and-software/envy-14-system-recovery-doesn-t-work-with-latest-BIOS/m-p/328684/highlight/false#M45165

  using Windows 7:

  Just plug in the USB key and then run the SPnnnnn.exe BIOS file downloaded from the Web site drivers HP.

  Assuming that the USB is configured correctly (see below), Setup the BIOS sees the HP_TOOLS partition on the USB, copy of the BIOS and its file signature on the USB key, then run Setup winflash. The system BIOS detects the USB and the partition HP_TOOLS and the BIOS is magically updated.

  I put in place a new USB key as follows:

  1 rename the partition HP_TOOLS from the hard drive to something different like HP_TOOLSbak

  2. Plug the USB

  3. Download and run the utility to update the BIOS (not the BIOS, still) drivers HP support page.

  4. Select the option to install to a USB

  5. Select the option to create the partition HP_TOOLS

  6. The reader should now be formatted as HP_TOOLS with a record of Hewlett-Packard containing BIOS and BIOSUpdate records. The BIOS folder contains empty current, news and previous records.

  7 download and run the HP System Diagnostics (UEFI) MS drivers HP support page

  8. Select the option to install on a USB key. This will create a SystemDiags folder under the Hewlett-Packard folder

  9. Download and run the HP Notebook System BIOS update for the HP support page drivers, given that the USB is correctly tagged it will install the update of the bios on the USB drive

  10, we have to end up with a HP_TOOLS partition on the USB drive identical to the one that you removed from the hard drive.

  Once you have configured the USB drive, you can upgrade to other versions of BIOS (most recent or oldest) using this drive, as I mentioned above: just plug in the USB and then download and run the BIOS Setup program.

  Having said that I'm not sure of what you do, once you boot the USB drive.

• Update the BIOS on a Tecra M5 - 386 when the battery is not recogised.

  My battery is not seen by my Tecra M5, but still fresh and feeds the laptop, I found info that offers as well as an upgrade of the BIOS might help, but the software update me gives an error message "[error] AC adapter is not connected, or battery power is not enough." How can I update the BIOS by bypassing the software security device? Told me on another forum that execution of the update .exe with /forceit BIOS in the CMD window that did not work. Can anyone help please.

  In most cases, the update of the BIOS does not solve battery problems
  Maybe the battery starts to malfunction because of age.

  I would recommend replacing the battery first!

  By the way; I guess the while the update of the BIOS error because of the software required missing; If you are using Win XP, then you must install page European driver of Toshiba common Modules. If you are using Windows 7 you must install VAP (value added package)

• Satellite L670 - update the BIOS

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite L670 running on Ubuntu Linux. I want to update my bios from version 1.00 to last version 2.30.

  But the site offers serverals versions window and one version of the OS "independent." I downloaded it and the .zip file contains only an .exe file I can't use with Linux.

  How can I update my bios? Not there at - it no .bin file?

  Thank you.

  This Toshiba laptop model no is not supported for Linux and all offered stuff on the download page are designed for the Windows operating system only if you cannot update BIOS if you use the failure to take in charge of operating system.

  Anyway, if there is a problem with your laptop BIOS update is not necessary.
