HP 840 G1: update the BIOS
Have a HP 840 G1 about a year - provided with Windows 7 preinstalled.
Upgrade to Windows 10 in early January and had a number of problems (instability, no sound, etc).
Did a clean recovery, re-installing Windows 10 using the Windows Recovery feature and delete some files from the user to get the cleanest version.
Seems to be running very well so would load my files and other software but tune gave me a few updates, including the 01.35Ap1 of SP74659 Version of the BIOS upgrade. Trying to finish the upgrade but I received a message upgrade installation ahd failed - could stop and start normally again. I just checked my BIOS level and it shows L71 worms 01.20. However, HP has the latest version of the BIOS as 01.35.Rev.A which seems a lot more recent than the 1.20 that I apparently.
Given my limited technical skills, have I missed something or can I safely download and try to install 01.35.Rev.A
Thanks in advance
This update is for Intel VBIOS.
The VBIOS provides a set of graphical functions that are used by programs to access the video hardware. The graphics controller built into the Chipset Intel® is an example of the video material.
You can try to update manually here.
It is the recommendation of Intel.
You don't need to update your VBIOS if you do not experience a graphics issue with your computer.
Here are a few reasons why you can update your VBIOS:
- To solve a problem of graphics (for example, visual corruption when playing a new game, an error reported by the Windows operating system * which is linked to the video BIOS, etc.)
- Recommendation of the manufacturer of your computer
- Recommendation of an Intel customer support agent

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! +

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?

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,
JohnHello
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)

Hi ML
Stupid question maybe now but why do you want to update the BIOS on this, I think, fairly new laptop model?
Have you noticed a few issues or hardware issues? -
Updating the BIOS is dead the satellite Pro P300-1AY
Hi all
found this forum and really hoping that he can help me!
I bought a satellite Pro P300-1AY two years ago, it cost me £900 nr so I thought it would be worthy of a purchase.A year ago the USBs stopped working, I do it every working solution I could think of anything will do, finally gave up and learned to live without USBs!
However, a few weeks ago, the laptop at the start stop, I didn't get was the black screen. Probably a video problem I did all the memory check hard drive everything else, however, it was only an intermittent problem, I found if I he tilted on the side she would begin, another thing to live with!
But two days ago, I heard that if I've updated the BIOS, it could solve all my problems. so I went to the Toshiba site, found the BIOS updated and downloaded, but to halfway through the installation, the laptop froze and I couldn't t he put it off and had to take the battery out to turn it off!
And ve you may have guessed, he's now won t start. Even its worst, LED lights, and if I put a disc in the cd I can hear it whirring, but that s it.
Is - this irreparable? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?
Ty for your time in reading :)Hello
> Is it irretrievably? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?
Well, usually the BIOS could once again be reflashed, but you would need a traditional version of the BIOS update.
This version is available for Toshiba FSA.So you will need to get in touch with a local ASP technician that could reflash the Rom BIOS module.
Eventually, after this update the specifications would be stable.Good luck

Update the BIOS - protected A600 problem
I'm trying to update my BIOS settings on my laptop (that I was invited to do by the service of Toshiba hardware update).
I followed all the instructions provided by the program because it extracted and ran the update. However, the computer began the reboot process, but has been 'disconnected' windows (Vista Business) for about an hour now. I don't know how to stop the process without causing serious damage to my BIOS, but this does not seem normal.
Help, please!
Hi wilreb...
I think that the user henharas a bad experience with the BIOS updates.
I updated the BIOS many times and never had any problems...I assume you mean on Tempro software... this software informs you about updates on the Toshiba page. It is not a recommendation for an update, but simply an alert that new updates has been published...
If your laptop is running properly, then update the BIOS is not really necessary...
You must follow these tips; never change a running system ;)In any case, after the update of the BIOS shouldn't take too long and if she has completed, you should see the new version in the BIOS settings...
Check it out...

HP Omen: update the BIOS
HP support assistant shows that there is the following update:
HP notebook System BIOS update
Number SoftPaq SP74378
version F.34Ap1tried to download and install without success
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. -
Impossible to update the BIOS on Satellite A665

Please someone help me because I have no way to use the laptop without power still present.
Hey Buddy,
Can you charge the battery when the laptop is turned off? Usually battery LED should show you white and orange color to the loading process if the battery is fully charged. And then start the computer and update the BIOS.

Satellite Pro A60 - update the BIOS without OS
I have a Satellite Pro A60, trying to install XP pro but says he needs the BIOS update, downloaded the new update, unzipped and that one file, will not start until no bootable files.
There is currently no OS on the laptop, I understand that I need an ISO file but where is she... !...
Hello
Why you need to update the BIOS?
I doubt that XP installation says that you need to update.Normally the update of the BIOS is a bit risky and must be that if she of really necessary. In addition the update of the BIOS can only be done from Windows. There is no DOS version, they available only authorized for service providers.

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.

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. -

and why you want to update the BIOS?
Even if the BIOS is not updated, the laptop should work well and should start the Windows operating system.
This means that the problem with your laptop is unrelated to the old version of the BIOS.Have you tried to check the HARD drive or to reinstall Win XP?
