• Laptop HP 15-ac176na: update BIOS (Intel processors)

  Hello

  I was download the updates from the HP support Assistant.  3 updated driver installed fine, but the update BIOS for Intel processors just to be on the road all day.  It seemed to download ok, the blue bar filled and he said that it was installing, but never finished because I had to stop going to bed.

  How long does take to install?  HP laptop laptop 15-ac176na.

  Thank you

  Hi Paul,.

  There seems to be a listed version between your and the update offered - F.1E Rev.A (provides microcode update CPU)-the HP bios updates are almost always cumulative, but I saw a few times when it's bbe made in order, then it can be interesting to see if F.1E Rev.A Flash correctly - if this is the case, try to rerun F.1F Rev.A

  F.1E Rev.A is on the following link

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp74001-74500/sp74374.exe

  Once the download is complete, close other open windows and programs, then open your download folder and double-click the installer to start the process.  The real flash will occur when you restart the machine - do not interrupt it somehow, even if nothing seems to be happening for a while - when it is finished, the machine will load in Windows as usual.

  Kind regards

• Laptop HP G60-630US - Webcam peripheral is pop + unknown device unrecognized USB inverter [update]

  My webcam and everything was working fine last night. I even used my webcam on the new yahoo I had installed a few days before. When I got up this morning and turned on my laptop, I kept getting pop ups every 3 minutes indicating unrecognized USB device despite not having that whatever it is plugged. I check the Device Manager and see an unknown device and the lack of imaging devices. When I try to go in youcam, it tells me that the cam is not detected.

  My notebook is HP G60-630US Notebook PC, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit.

  There is no change made last night. Even if after all this I tried to delete all the usb and restart, but nothing has worked. I always get the frequent pop ups. Please any help would be appreciated.

  Update: I just ran the update BIOS and instead of an unknown device, it says USB composite device

  Thanks, I tried. He has not worked for me. I just restored to factory settings, and that solved.

• Laptop HP 15-r001tu: updated the Bios PC portable HP 15-r001tu

  My laptop randomly makes automatic update of the BIOS recovery quite regularly, perhaps every two weeks, so I was wondering if this could be a problem with my laptop should I get extract? Or if it could just be normal? Thank you.

  @Kay7

  It is not random. The HP Support Assistant is usually set on install updates, as appropriate, on a weekly basis.  I took a glance at the available on the web portal of suport BIOS updates in the section downlolad. I saw that in May there were six the available BIOS updates. I highly recommend that you turn off the automatic updates in Suport of tune.  Who will take care of the issue and put control of your laptop in your hands.

  The HP Support Assistant is the only clean utility that your laptop comes able to update the BIOS on its own. Only install BIOS update when there is a reason and not just because a BIOS update is available. It is under the heading of don't fix it if it is not broken or it could break

  When the HPSA is put in place in order to review and approve the updates, you should see an icon like the following in the systray down by the system clock.

  

  This is the update that he wants me to take a look at review and choose to install or not.

  

  Advanced options HPSA. Make sure that no automatic option is selected.

  

  

• Envy laptop: update bios still running

  I got a notice from HP that there are updates for my computer. I've updated all the recommended updates, including updated Bios. After 18 hours its always updated. How long it takes and what I'm doing now is so long?

  Hello

  The update should only take a few minutes, so if it worked for 18 hours, I'd say it's blocked - stop it should be Ok.

  When you stopped, close HPSA and download the Bios Update from the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp75001-75500/sp75152.exe

  Once the download is complete, close other open windows and programs, then open your download folder and double-click the installer to start the process.  The real flash will occur when you restart the machine - do not interrupt it somehow, even if nothing seems to be happening for a while - when it is finished, the machine will load in Windows as usual.

• Portege 3410 - how to update BIOS and install XP?

  Hello, I have two questions on Portege 3410.

  First: I can't update the BIOS (current usage, 1.50 there, I want to update to 1.60). Instruction does not work: I connect Teac USB into USB port, turn on the USB - FDD emulation to activate, portable switch with pressed F12, the message «Ready to update BIOS...» "appears, I touch in a hurry, but nothing happened. What's wrong?

  The other: I can't install Windows XP on laptop (it does not start from USB disk or external USB DVD drive).
  How can I install Windows?

  Thank you.
  Mikhail

  Hello

  Just a question: why do you want to update the BIOS? Is this really necessary?
  I ask this question because this update is always somewhat risky and you might damage it ROM module
  In any case, have you tried to load the default settings in the BIOS before you start the update and install XP?

  You can install XP without CD. Therefore, you must copy the folder i386 on the HARD drive from another computer and the boot to the HARD drive files, I think you need a little search with Google to find a workaround for this. You should find enough! ;)

• Satellite P20 S203: update BIOS after version 1.70

  Hello! I have a Satellite P20 - S203 BIOS is Ver1.70, published on 20/11/2003. I think there pretty outdated now, but there has been no new versions for years and I think that this great computer, despite the old, should be more supported. What I don't understand is why they made an exit for the PSP23E and not for the PSP20E, that make the differences that they should deserve to be updated bios different?

  Does anyone of you know about BIOS versions after 1.70 which allow the laptop to boot from SD cards or removable media? And that the problems of the management of multiple USB devices?
  Thank you

  Hello

  I use P20 over two years, without any update of the BIOS. If your device works well I recommend you to leave. Boot from the SD card is not possible and update the BIOS will not allow this.

  What problem do you have with the USB devices?

• HP Pavilion 500 series: updates Bios

  HI I was wondering tonight in my hp support center was a significant update of the Bios I was wondering if I could please get some advice on the question of whether it is a good idea to Bios if there is nothing wrong with the Bios in the first place.  Why should I update the Bios or should I not update the Bios for my hp Desktop.

  Thank you for your time and help

  In general, I agree with redshore.  I'm used to be of the opinion that if everything worked as planned, then leave it alone.  Since I use a HP ENVY laptop with Windows 8.1 one year, I noticed that the HP helper has done several updates that I probably have on my own, especially updates BIOS.  I don't know why there would be many updates to BIOS, so have to asuume engineers tried to fix a problem that had been reported.  As redshore, you always stand the risk of bricking the unit with BIOS update is bad and if you read the forums here, there seems to be more those happening.

  Some units now have a feature where a regime of BIOS recorvery is integrated, a good idea.  You might wise to explore your PC to see if the model you have this feature for a while where you might need.

• Question about updating BIOS for my Satellite M40

  So, my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Support suggested me to update my Bios.
  OK, given that the last time, it was easy.

  I downloaded the newsest version vor my Satellite M40 (PSM40) (1, 70 - WIN<= i="" have="" an="" ati="" grafics="" card)="" and="" extracted="" the="" bios-20070709161345.zip="">
  But there was a surprise:
  Instead of getting the old data structure, as written in the FAQ update Bios
  1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
  2. in the folder temporary three subfolders will be generated. "docs", 'Update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW"

  I get a file only: BIOS of Windows Knockhill10GV170.exe
  Extraction of it I get 8 files:
  -fdbase.img
  -InsydeFlash.exe
  -iscflash.dll
  -iscflash.vxd
  -KPM170. ROM
  -Platform.ini
  -The c:\windows\system32\unicows.dll

  Now my question: How can I create this bootable CD-ROM to update my Bios?

  Just to know: download all the other things are done on my desktop from my laptop is not starting ;)
  I also tried to run the exe in the hope that it will create a floppy disk or a CD-ROM, but it is written "basic cfg address not found."

  Hello

  Update the BIOS there are two ways to do this:
  -Traditional mode (TRAD) and in this case, you need floppy
  -Windows (WIN) and this update can be done under operating system running.

  Update BIOS WIN will work if you run Windows on your laptop satellite. If I understand your assignment well you are trying to do traditional BIOS updated, but using the BIOS to WIN update. On the Toshiba download page, there are two listed BIOS updates and two of them as versions of WIN. This means that you can update the BIOS under operating system only.

  Back to your problem: in the history one thing confuses me when you write: my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Sorry, but if the recovery procedure is working and you will have clean installed OS.

  Be a little more concrete in our laptop does not start. What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop?

  Hi, everyone tried to upgrade the BIOS Z830.

  I went back to the store and they plugged the USB optical drive with an OEM of Windows version and I entered my ultrabook, but a day later I got the same message to insert an original disc of Windows after a re-boot without me even trying to upgrade the BIOS, it seems that the upgrade of the BIOS did not the first time!

  Why update BIOS asking for an original Windows disc? Any thoughts? Thaks!

  Switch on and press F2.
  This should allow you to access the BIOS.
  Press F9 BIOS this will outline the BIOS default settings. Press F10 to save the changes.

• Satellite Pro M30 - error message: the user is not authorized to update BIOS

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite Pro M30 of second hand. This one has the Bios 1.30... I would like to install the bios v1.70.

  I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 and tried first update in Windows.
  I however got the message "the user is not allowed to update BIOS.

  This message is quite surprising given that I have administrator privileges.

  I read that you can use a floppy disk to update, but I did not...

  So, is it possible to update the Bios with the CD?

  See you soon,.
  R.S.

  Hello

  I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and found the version of BIOS 1.7 WIN in the field of ARCHIVES.

  As you can see, it's a version of BIOS Windows and not a traditional version of the BIOS (trad BIOS can be updated using the diskette).
  This BIOS win can be improved only from a running OS Win.

  In any case, I see that you have installed SP3. It could have a bad influence on the update of the BIOS.
  Then maybe you should try to update the BIOS without SP3 installed?

  Remove SP3, download the good BIOS, unzip correctly and then try to run the BIOS update file.

  _Ps: If you laptop then runs without problem a BIOS update is not necessary! _

  I found this statement to update the Toshiba BIOS for this series of portable:
  1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a formatted floppy disk (please see note below regarding the type of disk to use).
  2. make sure that the laptop is plugged into the sector.
  3. turn off the laptop.
  4. turn on the laptop with the F12 key. Press and hold until a short beep can be heard.
  5. 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 appear.
  6. place the floppy disk containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy drive and press a key. FDD access will begin.
  7. When prompted by the message: "Please push the RESET switch (or turn the AC OFF power off / WE) to restart" remove the disk and press the RESET switch (if available) or turn the system off and turn it on again to restart the laptop.

  But note; Update the BIOS is always risky! If your laptop works ok, then update the BIOS is not really necessary!

• 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

• Satellite C660 - no Internet connection after updating BIOS

  I am a novice user and have a Satellite C660 under warranty that I don't use for surfing the net and Ebay so I hope I can explain my problem!

  Toshiba bulletin board said that the need to update BIOS, so I followed the instructions but since then I have no internet connection, and cannot restore the connection that I lost all help Toshiba Bulletin Board today lost and none of the programs to sort the problems work - e.g.set assistants etc. I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?

  Can someone tell me if it's a failure caused by the BIOS update or I would return laptop to John Lewis for repair? Thank you very much for reading this

  Hey Buddy,

  The default settings in the BIOS load after update? If this is not the case, go into the BIOS and load the default settings. You can enter the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows start and then press the F9 key to load defaults. Then save & exit the BIOS Setup.

  You can access the Internet now?
  You try to access the Internet with LAN or WLAN connection?

  Also check device manager if all devices are recognized correctly.

  > I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?
  You can create the Toshiba Recovery disk every time. Just launch the pre-installed Toshiba Recovery Media Creator and follow the instructions on the screen. You need just a few blank DVDs to create the discs. Disks contain a factory image of settings which can be restored each time and how many times you want to so with these disks, you are on the safe side ;)
