Impossible to update the BIOS on my Satellite A660

Hello, guys!
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! +
+ There is an error occurred, please check below Articles. +
+ The BIOS above 230 version. +
+ More than 20% of battery capacity. +
+ Is attached AC. +

The conditions of the first and the last are rooms but the second is not because the battery is dead (always 0% charged). Is there another way to update the BIOS?
Thank you!

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?
The update of the BIOS is a very serious update and must be done very carefully
Incorrect procedure may damage the motherboard!

  • Impossible to update the BIOS on my Satellite L750-1MD

    Hello!

    I want to update my BIOS which is v.240 now. I DLed the latest version at the official site (311 I think).
    I did pay attention to the numbers when I select one for my laptop.

    When I try to update it - it begins to do message not not to have apps on and not restart or put in hybernation appears and then it stops. Then he tries to launch windows - W 7 Edition Home Premium, and windows once, everything becomes a black screen with a cursor.

    Cursor can me moved but it lost during 10 minutes there.
    After that I had to reboot to get rid of the black screen. I tried again later.
    Same result. And I checked my bios version - there are still 240. :(

    What should I do? Thank you!

    Hello

    Before you run an update of the BIOS, the antivirus and other security applications must be disabled. Also, make sure that nothing is running in the background.

    In addition the VAP (value added package) must be installed. I recommend the update to this package too.

    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.

  • Impossible to update the bios

    I bought the laptop on ebay (the portable school was) battery does not charge but shows connected, I get the message that it is the result of the outdated bios (A00 updating is A06). I tried to update the bios, but the first problem was no image of the system.  I did it.  I did auspices try to update bios, this time bios tbe will not update because of the battery is not not charghed at 10%. I can not load the battery.

    Is it possible to update the bios, or should I get another battery?

    I got in touch with sales of battery problem before all this and got a new battery by recommendation of sellers. There no awareness of this problem, the battery WAS at 50% charged.  I have no problem with the purchase of another battery if there is no other way.

    Check if the power adapter is recognized by the system (F2 at startup).  If it is not, battery does not charge.

    If the adapter is not recognized, it is not a BIOS problem - try a new Dell OEM adapter first.  If this does not solve the problem, and the DC Jack is replaceable, replace the DC Jack in the system.  In the case of a model where the CC is not replaceable or replacement Plug does not solve the problem, the motherboard should be replaced.

  • Update the BIOS on a Satellite 1800-314

    Hello

    I have an old Satellite 1800-314 and I want an update of the BIOS. I did an update of the BIOS on my desk, but never on a laptop. Is there someone who could help me with a manual or something else?

    Hi Antoni,

    I also have a Sat 1800-314 and I could explain how to upgrade a BIOS.

    The first step is to find your current version of the BIOS (in the HWsetup or look you in the BIOS, after turning on the power button, press and hold ESC and you will enter the BIOS), then the next step, go to the Toshiba site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com, then click on support & downloads and go to the support home page and look if there is available as your latest BIOS version and download it.

    If the preparation is done and you have to extract the zip file containing the upgrade of the BIOS on a 1.44 MB formatted floppy. Make sure that the PC is connected to the power adapter. Stop, and then turn on the PC. Press and hold the button depending on the layout of the keyboard is located right between the keys Alt Gr and INS pushed until a beep sounds and the message "ready for the update of the BIOS. Place the BIOS update floppy in the drive and press any key when you are ready to move forward,"will be displayed.

    Place the floppy disk containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy drive and press a key. FDD access will begin. When you're prompted by the message: "Please push the RESET switch (or turn the AC OFF power off / WE) to restart", remove the disk and turn off the system and turn it on again to restart the PC.

    BEWARE: Info-BIOS-Ce is only for a SATELLITE 1800 314!

    I found this Information on the following site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com when you go to the Support home page and click on the Knowledge Base. You will find a very good FAQ of the BIOS that contains all the various procedures of BIOS for Toshiba laptops.

  • Impossible to update the display drivers for Satellite L650

    I have L650 and AMD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470.
    First of all, I wanted to update my drivers Toshiba program showing that this driver is old. OK, I downloaded, install and then, months later, window pop-up, this driver is always old. I did it again and I noticed that the driver is not updated at all.

    So I went to the ATI site, and there I discovered that the latest drivers for my card there but they will not work with Toshiba. Weird is, I tried anyway, they don't work.
    So I went to Toshiba site and start downloading AMD, each of them display drivers. None of them worked: errors or 'installation complete', but nothing works. I tried other sites with drivers for my model. Resut: Nope, once again.

    Finally, I found the most up-to-date drivers for my Radeon, from Toshiba Web site... from 2011. Is this some kind of joke? Why can't I have the drivers updated just because it is Toshiba? Why Toshiba is not updated their drivers, when the software they gave me with the laptop gives me alerts that my drivers are outdated.

    Hello

    > Why Toshiba is not updated their drivers, when the software they gave me with the laptop gives me alerts that my drivers are outdated.

    Many different laptop models were equipped with the same GPU. That's why you should also search for drivers of graphics cards that have been released for the new laptop models equipped with the same graphic card.

    > Yes, so I went to the ATI site, and there I discovered that the latest drivers for my card there but they will not work with Toshiba. Weird is, I tried anyway, they don't work.

    I read in various forums on graphics cards drivers and update issues.
    It seems that Toshiba provides special and changed graphics cards drivers that have been specially designed for mobile use. These drivers support a kind of protection which is important since s graphic portable units are equipped with large modules of cooling the overheating.

    However, there is a solution to install the page ATI original drivers, but the use of these drivers is at your own risk. You need to download the driver package that contains the dll and ini files.

    Then you should be able to update the driver through Device Manager by using the Advanced installation procedure which allows to point to the folder that contains the mentioned dll and ini files.

  • Satellite M60 - cannot access the HARD disk but update the BIOS

    Hello

    I want to update the bios on a Satellite M60
    the problem is that I can't access either on my hard drive it still reboot

    So, first I want to try to update my Bios but as I can't work with windos XP I need to do it with a Dos command.

    is there any solution for this?

    Thank you very much

    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?

  • 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,
    John

    Hello

    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)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.
