  • Tecra M2 - updated BIOS is not supported

    Hello; I have a Tecra M2 I want to update BIOS.

    I downloaded it from the Toshiba site, specified for this model. But when I unzip in my book, there is a message that says "Bios Update v. 3.2.8. This computer is not supported. But my laptop is a 32-bit computer, and there is nothing strange about this... What is going on?

    I need a help. (It's only a simple update BIOS...)

    Thank you

    J.

    Hello

    The Bios Update v. 3.2.8 error message. This computer is not supported"might appear because the DMI information that contains the name of the laptop and other details of s notebook is wrong.
    In this case the DMI must be updated.

    The other reason why you are not able to update the BIOS, it is this tool called common Modules is not installed on your laptop.
    So install it and check if you can update the BIOS

    Last but not least, the reason could be the preinstalled OS, I hope you are using Win XP in order to update the BIOS

    Thank you very much!

    Yes, it's the good BIOS because it s also for your model (Satellite 2450-101).

    A BIOS update is an upgrade of RAM is not necessary. The BIOS has nothing to do with the maximum RAM capacity.
    Satellite 2450-101 supports up to 1 GB, type PC2100 DDR - RAM.

  • HP ENVY CTO 7300 dv6t Quad Edition Notebook PC updated bios - win7

    Hello...

    I WANT HP dv6t-7300 CTO Quad Edition Notebook PC , it came with win 8 that I demoted for win 7, I received my drivers of HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC.

    I have problem of heat and I want to update Bios, the current version: Insyde F.29 03/10/2013.

    He tried to update pavilion dv6t-7000 me gives error message:

    .. . How update the bios?

    You don't Flash the BIOS unless you get the upgrade for the BIOS of the page of CTO Quad Edition Notebook PC drivers HP ENVY dv6t-7300. Since there is no upgrade BIOS listed on this page, there is no way to upgrade the BIOS. Depending on the exact systemboard and the OS that is installed on your computer, the HP part number will be something like "682174-501", which means "Windows 8 Standard / 2.0 GB of discrete video memory / 45 Watt CPU. The comparable numbers for the dv6t-7000 series is 682174-001, which means "Windows 7 / 2.0 GB of discrete video memory / CPU 45 watts.

    The MAIN of the BIOS is different version, the routine will not allow BIOS flash. IF you force it, you can make your computer does not work. DO NOT try to Flash a BIOS that does not support your computer page.

  • Need help updating Bios dc7800 Compact Mini Tower: ROM CAB missing or damaged

    I need help, updated the BIOS on my HP dc7800 CMT. I get this error message:

    System BIOS updte file (. C:\Users\f\Downloads\ROM CAB) is missing or damaged. THE system BIOS does not update.

    I tried to update using the sp53611.exe (8.0 MB) 1.32 Rev A(6 Dec 2011) HP Compaq Business Desktop system BIOS (BIOS 786F1)

    Which can be found here.

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?sp4ts.Oid=3459243 & swItemId = vc_97114_1 & swEnvOid = 4059

    The current version of my BIOS is: 786F1 v01.04 2007-07-18

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit Ultiate. I noticed on the page (linked above) software, it mentions most of the flavors of Windows 7 64-bit, but it does not mention Win 7 ULTIMATE 64-ditch.

    Here's what I did:

    (1) computer restarted in safe mode

    (2) connected as administrator

    (3) Task Manager began to ensure that all applications and most of the services have been arrested

    3 (a) as an additional precaustion, I even stopped Windows Defeneder

    (4) double clicked on sp53611.exe and let it install the software.

    (5) This opens a web page. I clicked on the link which was under the Bio update to a windows environment.

    (6) the process has started, but then I got the above error.

    Any ideas on what to do next?

    Is it possible that the BIOS cannot be updated because the software does not support windows 7 64 bit ULTIMATE?

    Thank you in advance. I have a new graphics card today (Radeon HD 6570 - who has been recommended by Mr. Paul Tikkanen, thank you), and I guess I should have my current BIOS a bit, no?

    Hello:

    There should be no need to update the BIOS, if everything is working properly.

    If you want to update the BIOS, you must use the built in Flash ROM of system menu in the BIOS.

    It is the safest and easiest way to Flash the BIOS.

    All you need is a USB stick formatted with the FAT 32 file system.

    Download the latest BIOS update, then run it.

    You should get a page of instructions.  On this page, you want the option F10 system flash rom and you should see a summary of BACK flash folder view.

    Copy all the files in this folder on your USB.

    Plug the drive into the usb port, restart the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the F10 key to access the BIOS.

    There will be a menu to System Flash ROM

    What to choose and it should see the BIOS update files on the usb flash drive.  Then follow the instructions on the screen to proceed to the update of the BIOS.

  • Need help to update BIOS on Satellite L30-113

    Hello

    I just downloaded the latest update of the BIOS for my Satellite L30-113 (PSL 33) and I was about to install when I remembered that I actually downgraded to Windows XP(this notebook is originally with WIndows Vista).
    My question is it will produce no problem when I run the .exe file, because it can be programmed to update BIOS under Windows Vista only?
    I know there are a lot of competent users who can help me in this forum.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I just got a check for the BIOS on the support and downloads page and I found the inscription as "OS independent. This essentially means that the update is compatible with both operating systems.

    Remember that when you update the BIOS, you need ensure the power supply is connected, software security is disabled, nothing is attatched to (other than the power cord) system, power is turned off (such as screensavers), saving features and no other software is running. Also disconnect from the Internet, too, if possible.

    You can download the latest version of the BIOS here:
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20071106150302.zip

    Also, you can find the update may not work if a BIOS password is set, if this is the case, you need to delete that, too.

    Kind regards
