• How Flash the BIOS if you cannot start Windows

  Hello

  I have a BIOS virus which prevents ANY version of any operating system Windows to boot at all.

  (Linux will start and run fine)

  So, to solve this problem, I need re-flashing the BIOS.

  Problem is... HP offers only the BIOS as an executable Windows utility.

  Can someone help me figure out a way to Flash the BIOS WITHOUT Windows?

  THX

  Now, in response to this topic, I discovered a solution...

  HPBIOSFILE.exe - writeromfile /-writehexfile /-writehdrfile

  I hope this helps some of you.

  To use this...

  (1) download the executable file (.exe) for BIOS update for your motherboard

  (2) a copy of the program flashing of Award Bios BACK (Google it, easy to find)

  (3) obtain a downloadable copy of the BACK 6.22 (of Microsoft) and create files to start this one.  (possibly another computer to do this).

  (4) start your computer affected in BACK 6.22

  (a) copy the files in a directory

  "(b) using the bold line above... type the name of your BIOS instead of the HPBIOSFILE.exe file ' and run the command.

  You will find yourself with a ROM file, a BIN file and a header file.

  You can now re-Flash your BIOS on your HP computer outside of a Windows environment.

  ENJOY!

• 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 A300-257 while flashing the BIOS

  Hello

  I have a dilemma. I recently installed windows 7 on my laptop of girlfriends who is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-257, everything went well until I tried to update the Bios. I followed all instructions on the toshiba site had to put the model number in to get good bios double checked and triple checked before running the program, but when I ran the system crashed to halfway through the closed system update and now it wont even boot lights are on cd player is ROAR a few stays on black screen.

  I read many forums and it seems im not the only one with this problem.
  I just got the phone to toshiba and they say im not covered because I does not you can call and go through it with them on the phone, even if at no time did he tell me to do that I followed the instructions of there Web site.
  I also confirmed with them that I used the correct bios but they say that they are unable to prove that and I can put in the wrong information that I did not.

  In my view, there is a program that will allow me to boot from the cd so I don't have to go out and buy a reader external floppy to Flash the bios, I think that his winflash. Unfortunately, all I can find is the executable program on there website which im guessing will not start work.
  Anyone know where I can find the prog to update the bios and the bios file so I can create a cd bootable to Flash the bios.

  Any help will be appreciated with gratitude

  Thank you very much

  Hi mate

  I m afraid there is no alternative to reflash the BIOS to the traditional version of BIOS who can start the BIOS updated using an external USB drive and the floppy disk.

  The European driver Toshiba page contains only the BIOS Win-based that can be updated when the windows operating system. The traditional BIOS is not available for download. Only authorized service partners have access to this version of BIOS and that's why I don t see any alternative as to get in touch with the guys and to ask for help.

• Cannot Flash the BIOS on Satellite L500 due to low battery

  Hey all,.

  Obtained as Satellite L500 (PSLS0A-084002) here. I have the battery not charging issue and everything what I find point to an update of the BIOS.

  Of course, there is a new BIOS for download from the drivers of laptops. So I have the file WinPhlash "sl500 (mv) _bios_w210.exe. However, by running the fact falling before flashing the BIOS with an error number: 144.

  It is because of the battery is bellow 10% charge however I can't it above 10 percent fee that the laptop does not recognize it.

  There must be a way of to WinPhlash running without check. I read that you can run it with the "/ forceit" switch and who will be ignoring the error, but that was for some time and it seems WinPhlash have changed this as she always spits the error.

  I read running back help but after creating a boot cd back, he claims the exe cannot be run from BACK (ffffuuuuuuuu!).

  Any help appreciated. Thank you =).

  Maybe it sounds silly now but there at - it something serious, why you want to update the BIOS on your machine? I mean if everything is OK, why do you need new BIOS?

  In any case, I'm don't know if this will help but please try to remove the battery and check if the update of the BIOS starts if your laptop works on AC only.

• Windows 8 fingerprint reader no longer works (need to Flash the BIOS to fix)

  I have a DV6-7014nr bought around September of 2012.  I have upgraded to WIndows 8 when it first came out.  I had no problem with the reader of fingerprints on Windows 7, but do not use for a long time.

  As the subject says.  I can run it for a few weeks (on Windows 8), and the fingerprint reader stops working.  None of the biometric devices are listed in the Device Manager.  If I try to load the driver, it does nothing, as if the player is simply not there the responsibility of the driver closes just (with no message).

  Peripheral Biometirc in the Panel control says there is no biometric device found and simplepass opens without the fingerprint reader recognized.

  The only thing that solves this is my BIOS which comes Insyde to re-flashing. It is noted in the setup of the BIOS relating to biometric devices.  I have just discovred that BIOS update solves a problem because there was an update that I applied.  Have to reapply the update of the BIOS to fix this seems excessive to us.

  Added March 29, 2013:

  I just re-applied the BIOS two days ago and already the figerprint teader plug working again.  I tried a hard reset (because I saw that as a solution previously, and it is easier and faster to re-flashing the BIOS).  Who has shut down, remove the battery, now the power for 30 seconds button, boot the system without the battery.  He has not fixed the problem and I can't even understand why the fingerprint reader keeps disabling.  A re-BIOS flash solves the problem, it seems that the problem must be with the BIOS software.  Oh I also had turned off the "Allow windows to turn off the device to save power" for the biometric device before he went kaput.  It doesn't stop of is suckier.

  There must be a better way.

  Thank you

  Hello cjwh888,

• Cannot Flash the BIOS on A100 (PSAA8E) - flash process freezes

  Hey everybody.

  I am owner of a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-283 (PSAA8E-1DL044GR)

  I intend to move the CPU (T1350) to a T2400 dual core.

  Before I open the laptop to install the new CPU, I want to assure you that the BIOS will support it-so, I want to upgrade the BIOS to the newest 6.00 version on the Toshiba support site.

  The flash BIOS (S10V600.exe) file is a self-extracting RAR starts automatically the good process of WinPhlash.

  Unfortunately, the last step in the WinPhlash process does not start.
  Instead, the system locks up completely with a CPU usage to 100% (spinning fan at full speed).

  The new BIOS only if written to the BIOS chip since I hard-restarting the laptop and normally boot my linux system. The BIOS is always the version 2.00.

  My questions:

  -Any of you who have already updated the BIOS on this system knew what could cause this?
  -What operating system did you use to Flash the BIOS?

  I was running Flash on a WinXP SP3 LiveCD (Hiren Boot CD) utility, the file loading flash BIOS from a USB storage device (I don't have Windows and would like to avoid to get a new SATA drive and install a 'real' windows there just to upgrade my BIOS, but I would if it could be the only way to get the BIOS flashed)

  Your help is greatly appreciated, thanks and greetings from Germany to the rest of Europe!

  > Before I open the laptop to install the new CPU, I want to assure you that the BIOS will support it-thus, I would like to upgrade the BIOS to the newest 6.00 version on the Toshiba support site

  First update the BIOS won't help you if the old BIOS would not support the new processor.
  In General, you can only use the CPU that is supported by the chipset.
  As much as I know, that the new processors are not added to new versions of BIOS

  > What OS did you use to Flash the BIOS?
  Since the available BIOS version is based on the Windows version, you must use the Windows which has been pre-installed by Toshiba.
  In many cases, the update of the BIOS requires VAP (value added package) which is necessary if you are running Vista or Win7.

• Re: Blank screen on Satellite A200-1 body weight after flashing the Bios

  I have a Satellite A200-1 of body weight, and I flashed my Bios when the laptop froze.

  Any help on what to do?
  Do I need a new toshiba Bios Chip?

  I have a Satellite A210 - 16G and I decided to the new version of BIOS (2, 00-WIN32) flash. I downloaded the new version, the decompressed files two (setup.exe and alaa200a.rom), quit all running programs and disconnected from the internet and launch the setup.exe.

  After a program window apperared and it starts automatically check my bios version (strange thing - cooler system started working with maximum RPM) and after 5-10 seconds, this window became blink and at the top, there was a message 'no response '.

  I thought that it is ok and I expect about 15 minutes for a result...
  But I suck. I closed the window and tried to restart, but suddenly I got a white screen.

  I disabled a camputer in now the power button / stop.
  And after that I can depend on to it - I press the power button, then a power led lights and that's all, blinking screen, no response.

• HP Mini 311 - should I flashed my BIOS?

  I have a HP Mini 311-1037NR (the product number is VBM262UA #ABA).   My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.

  The question more simply: should I FLASHED my BIOS?

  I just started using my HP MINI again after a year of rest.  I did all Windows 7 updates that can be done.  I was even dedicated to device drivers and updated all those requiring updates.

  Thanks to Provost User DavidPK, I identified a stack as error being the external battery.  I ordered the following and (Amazon says) it should arrive at my home on or before February 11.  Then, I'll be able to use it without a power cord (yay!).  Looking forward to that.  THANKS, DavidPK!

  Now, I'm trying to decide now if I should update or FLASH the BIOS?  It can be risky, I understand.  So, I wonder if it is a gesture that would be the rishk?  I certainly don't want to update something on my machine just to say that I've updated.

  Thoughts?

  Hello

  Good to hear the battery is on the right track

  What about updating the bios, my personal opinion is that this should be done only if the update fixes a problem you already have, or adds features that you need.  Otherwise, if everything works well, I'd recommend flashing with a new version of the bios.

  Best regards

• Flash the BIOS to the operating system other than Vista

  Hello

  I have a HP dv6500 running Windows 7 for which I want to upgrade the card wifi mini pci-e one of the cards intel available on Newegg, or maybe a 4G card.

  However, I read the BIOS of HP stock has a whitelist for the wifi cards, and will work only to select the cards.

  I find a updated F5A bios that I am willing to try: http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-HP-Disabled-Whitelist-Mega-Thread?pid=28193#pid28193

  I have also heard that Flash a BIOS of Windows 7 it will damage, and the recommended solution is to reinstall Windows Vista. Is there a way to get around this? Maybe I could use a CD EP?

  Thanks in advance.

  Not that I know of.

  Vista or bricks laptop is how I understand.

• battery not detected after flashing the BIOS

  first time here, need help! I have HP dv4 1030ee with Vista Home Premium. 2 days ago I noticed that my battery is always on 3% of AC power is connected and supported. I'm looking for how to fix the situation and found that there is a new update of the BIOS available on the HP website on this issue. So, I downloaded the program and flashed my BIOS. Flashing went well, but when I rebooted, the OS can't detect my Batttery! So far, my computer works on the current! My Bios version was F.06 and I have updated with the latest F.24.

• Flashing the BIOS

  I have a m92p office, the system update suggests that I flashed the BIOS as a newer version is available.

  I have no problem with the current BIOS I'm running and I always said, if you are not problems with your system, an update of the BIOS should not be done.

  Thus inspired, I'll stay with the BIOS, I am running.

  Anyone see any reason I should put in day?

  Thank you

  It is always good to keep everything up to date, but if you're not used to perform tasks such as the flashing etc. BIOS. Then you can be wary about this procedure.

  So, if you experience any problems at the moment and your current BIOS is able to detect all your H/W correctly i.e. CPU RAM & (including the choice of speed), then there is no really no reason for your to Flash the BIOS, if you look at the changelog for the latest version of the BIOS, including versions between your version and the latest version You can read what has changed since your version. If nothing is so NO there is not a reason for you to FLASH your BIOS. But somehow that you can FLASH is perhaps that there is a feature that has been added you want.

  The only time where you need to, is if you upgrade your CPU or RAM, if newer models are loose they may not work without a FLASH of the BIOS.

  So 'if it ain't broke don't fix it! " Lol, it's what I say to my friends.

  Thank you

• The safest way to Flash the BIOS?

  What is the safest way to Flash the BIOS?

  I know, starting when cold, remove all devices usb, LAN, WLAN, close all applications...

  Perhaps, in addition, Safe Mode might be safer?

  Or a new installation without pilot system is perhaps better?

  The best way to update a BIOS done upgrade under the DOS environment. This is because the nature of the system of the device itself (he has no protection).

  If you want flash on Windows just restart your computer (do not sleep your computer once restarted), disable any anti-malware software and close all open windows.

  You can also try to flash in Mode without failure, but I do not recommend it, because in this mode, Windows disables all its services. Not sure if the BIOS update need to package one of them (a priori that it isn't).

  Best regards.
