• Satellite L40 - 14Y Bios Update with HARD drive empty

  I need to update the Bios of my Satellite L40 - 14Y / PSL48E-01F01UGR of Version 1.60 to 5.50 (for Windows XP). The HARD drive is _ * authorized/empty * _.

  My problem: the 'solution' as given

  [Http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07]

  is unreasonable/erraneous. The instructions provided in this site for the "traditional update: BIOS is updated using a floppy ' lead 'procedure 7" for a Satellite L40.

  7 procedure is however simply: copy the 5 files, such as listed in the respective "bios - 20080617131457.zip" zip file on the disk ("+ extracted the zip file containing the upgrade of the BIOS to a formatted floppy + '). This disk is - of course - _ * bootable * _ and its usage with the error message "NTLDR" not found as shall be provided.

  We know a solution to this problen other than the installation of an operating system for the current object of updating the Bios from an operating system?

  Additional note: the attempt to install the 5.50 Bios by running winflash.exe (which is the single executable in "bios - 20080617131457.zip") failed because it "does not in DOS mode. But he could start with a few other disk started micro operating system, such as, for example, Caldera back. We know something about that? The statement: "run the *.exe extracted to the temporary folder. .... . A BIOS update diskette will be generated"as given for other than blackness L40 laptops means that a * _bootable_ disk is"generated ". Other laptops with the same Bios 5.50 as the L40?

  Hi jetztkommich,

  Don t do so complicated: anything that can be downloaded from the Toshiba site, you will find. If there is that only a basic Windows Update the BIOS, you can run the update of the BIOS under Windows. I think that s easy to understand.

  As Al - Ex worte, you can try the update on a Windows disc packed with bart PE.

• BIOS update with flat in a Lenovo 3000 V100 Notebook battery

  
  

  It is true, the battery flat can damage the circuits and also cause interference with hardware devices. It can also prevent you from starting the computer.

• T500 BIOS update v3.00 - 1.03 THAT bootable CDROM does not blink

  The model is a CTO 2081 running Windows Vista SP1 x 64. Downloaded and burned to a CDROM image 6fuj30uc.iso. According to the instructions, I tried to install the hotfix as required by MS KB 937500 but it does not settle, saying that the update does not apply to this system. Even if the system is a T500 instead of a W500, I also upgraded the switchable graphics driver as mentioned in the Readme.

  The BIOS boot options have the CD/DVD as first boot device. Any protection for the BIOS password has been deleted.

  Start with the CDROM of the results in a black screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left. BIOS does not get flashed. Neither a menu appears to provide me with options to read the help or to Flash the BIOS.

  BIOS remains to be 6FET56WW (2.02).

  rpstraus, welcome to the forum,

  Please take a look at this thread, I hope that the strong solution will also solve your problem.

• LENOVO N500 of 300 + BIOS UPDATE = blue screen loop

  My problem is with my LENOVO 3000 N500; that I was updating today (09/29) on the LENOVO web site. I had been looking for updates required and recommended; the update was for the BIOS. Before installing, I knew that the unit would be shut down/re-start. When I restarted; the first screen that opened has the white screen, with the words of LENOVO, which, in my experience, allows the user to proceed or move in the ThinkVantage mode or rescue & recovery. The next thing that seemed was menu when I choose "Normal startup" or "Safe mode", but all options gives me to the next screen which is a blue box with an error (it lasts for one second or less) and then laptop is restarting again. The Lenovo care button does not work, also when I tried to boot my laptop from XP CD, he also failed. Could you please help me with this? What should I do now?

  Nevermind

  Before I installed Win XP I changed option SATA in the BIOS from AHCI to IDE, so after flashing new BIOS this setting was still RESPONSIBLE, so Win XP wouldn't start.

  Also, I could not the BIOS settings using the Lenovo care button, but one of the f... help.

  Problem with the BIOS resolved

• Lenovo X 60-Cause: BIOS updated has failed, result: cell death

  I work in a company as IT Manager and during an update of a laptop Lenovo X 60 Type: 1707-CTO using "system update" application, in the middle of the process stopped BIOS flashing / crashed before the end and now the laptop don't boot/boot (black screen on startup and nothing more).

  I think it of a stupid idea a process updated BIOS with Windows application and is the first time that I use this 'system' update and for sure the last!

  Now, back to my problem... the laptop is out of warranty, so I need to find a solution to put the laptop working again.

  My simple question is... What is the best way/solution? I can reflash the BIOS again? How? Can I replace the BIOS physically? How?

  In advance, thank you for your help.

  Best regards

  Well, the problem is solved... I've created a Frankenstein laptop

  Accidentally, a user has dropped a laptop Thinkpad X 61 and broke the screen, so I remove the mainboard that laptop and assemble in the chassis of the X 60 BIOS problem. The fingerprint do not work, but the laptop is functional.

  I think that Lenovo equipment are good machines, must, they must improve this point of flashing the BIOS. It's ridiculous to put a good laptop off service, only a bad update without fault of the user.

  Thank you guys for your answers!

• Satellite 1410-604-BIOS update > update BIOS Incorrect in the web?

  Hi there again!

  Now with a new and strange issue.

  We all know that tell old... "If it does not break, don't fix it." And if you put in more computer terms, "especially if it's a BIOS.

  Yes, we all know that the BIOS is something quite dellitate to manage. For some reason, we normally feel as if we manage something like nitroglycerine, or radioactive products. And it's because we all know who is put at risk at the moment: our (or sometimes other) computer, the whole system could end up as dead as some pieces of metal, plastic and son.

  Well. I passed through all of this, more than 10 times in my life, and only once, it went wrong. But since this old motherboard was already dead, it was not important. But I've always been EXTREMELY care. Allways cross checked everything before you do anything, allways has a backup and a way to allways and restore that backup... I did COMPAQ systems, which have been prepared in this way. A BIOS update was about about a disc, turn on the PC with the disk in the floppy drive and wait. And if you don't like the results, you just click on 'back to a previus BIOS' and that was it... very nice. And easy.

  A few days ago a friend gave me a Toshiba Satellite 1410 604 to solve some problems that have been her crazy. After you remove a Norton Internet Security has expired, install avast and scan, I found more than a hundred of files infected with a variety of viruses, malware, trojans, and everything you could imagine. Avast all removed, but the rest of the operating system was so unstable that we decide to format it and install from scratch.

  I asked for the restore disks, which obviously it failed because they were lost in one of his trips. After that we had confirmation of Toshiba representatives there is no disk recovery available for this model, because it is too old, we decided to install from scratch like any other normal PC and resigned to losing some of the utilities accompanying that CD and are not available for download on the Web site.

  I downloaded all the software available for this model, including two updates to the BIOS. (In reality an update, but in two versions: Windows and traditional) and prepared a CD with all the drivers and programs as if it were a new system installation. And everything was fine, no problems at all. Until we arrived at the wireless LAN card, but that's another problem is already solved (the mini PCI card for the WLAN does not support the encriptación WEP or WAP, and it is not possible to connect to any LAN encripted wireless).

  At this point, and when I started setting up and activation of peripheral PCMCIA and USB devices (this computer only supports USB 1.1, 2.0 not) I discovered this text from Toshiba Web site:

  "This Bios update adds functionality to your system.
  (BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. This program is stored in a chip memory dead on the motherboard.
  When the computer comes on, the BIOS is launched to perform various functions to start.)

  For more detailed updated information, please refer to Information update BIOS Toshiba"

  Quite specific. Isn't?)

  According to the information in this Web site, the available BIOS fits the following models:

  Yes... it's here!

  Now when you go into the "Toshiba BIOS update information", you get:

  "Ref. FAQ: TRO0000000b07.

  A BIOS update is a {color: #ff0000} * operation is relatively simple and can be done by computer more competent users * {color}. All BIOS updates can be obtained from "BIOS update" Section download click here...

  Note: the BIOS files are specific machine the correct BIOS for your machine should be used. »

  Please note that Toshiba does not disencourage BIOS manipulation, on the contrary: they even encourage people to do. It is not badly needed, but at the same time that they encourage people to 'play' with such a delicate question, at the end of this page, in small letters, they say:

  "Toshiba provides this information"as is"{color: #ff0000} * without warranty of any kind * {color}, explicit or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of quality market or adequacy has a specific use." Toshiba shall not be liable to the topicality, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. {color: #ff0000} * Toshiba is not responsible for damage caused by the use of any information provided, including incomplete or incorrect information * {color}. »

  This should trigger yellow alarms in our minds.

  + "Human error is inherent in man, and it is not possible to eradicate. It will be displayed always, sooner or later"(Prof. James Reason). +

  And finally, I made the mistake. Although I have read this warning, I remembered all these successful BIOS update with COMPAQ and relied for Toshiba. This update was available there, and Toshiba told me that it was for this computer. Great!

  So finally, I disconnected all devices (USB), removed the PCMCIA (WLAN), plugged the battery charger to avoid any possible battery problem, restarted windows, and then Windows started the update (windows version, such as recommended by Toshiba). This drug looked very nice, nothing different from what I usually see on these old COMPAQs.

  As reported by the update program, the system would restart. And in fact he did.

  Windows normally closed (a little faster than normal, but without mistakes, and since there is no other programs that most - even the antivirus not working - no), the computer turned off, all lights (normal) offshore, and then again on...

  {color: #0000ff} * BEEEEEEEEEEEEP... BEEEP... ... BEEEEP * {color}

  OMG! I never movement something SO bad. 3-1-1!

  And now... What a 3-1-1 is here? Award BIOS would mean no card graphics or video deffective card, but it is not true, because it worked 20 seconds ago. There are BIOS.

  He never came again to life. He's still 3-1-1 beep.

  But now comes the investigation on the human factors involved in this accident.

  I found I committed the following errors:

  * (1) * rely in the constructor, even if they have WRITTEN their information may be incorrect or incomplete. (BAD if I was a detective QA & QC).

  * (2) * I cross checked deep enough (until it was already too late).

  * (3) * I haven't looked above for how to make a backup of the BIOS to restore must anything deceive you.

  * (4) * let Toshiba lead me to a path that I didn't walk, just because of their supply of 'increased functionality.

  * (5) * Beleave in Toshiba when they said "relatively simple operation and can be performed by the most competent computer users"... they never said it is infallible. "."

  Then I began the most interesting part of the investigation.

  {color: #0000ff} * "what went wrong?" * {color}

  Obviously, the update of the BIOS has not somewhere, somewhere. And I wanted to know what and where.

  First thing, I discovered that there is another Toshiba search engine called "askiris" ([http://askiris.toshiba.com]) and I looked to see if, for any chance I could get the old BIOS 1.20 version which was installed at the origin of this machine.

  And I found something... VERY interesting:

  GOOD! Or not?

  Let's take a look:

  First thing I did was download all four files.

  Then I took the same version that made the accident: 1.40

  I unzipped the file, which I found:

  And I got my first surprise here: there is a {color: #ff0000} * README. TXT * {color} that was not present in the file that I downloaded earlier from the repository of drivers.

  So I went the readme.txt and I found this:

  'README. CDC TXT 31/01/2003

  Satellite 2410-S203
  Satellite 2410-S204.

  Please note that the model 1410-604 is * NOT * listed.

  I thought ' well, there must be another archive... ". »

  But then I realized a name that seems familiar, that is, in the directory where I unzipped this file 1.40, and the name is:

  {color: #0000ff} * 2410A9V140. EXE * {color}

  So I took the other file, the update of BIOS_Win, and I discovered that the name of the file is:

  * {color: #0000ff} 2410A9V140. EXE, {color} * (Ups!)

  So I once again, uncompressed to find:

  Then another issue raised in my mind: what happened to the other file 1.40? What did the other 2410A9V140. EXE are inside?

  * {color: #ff0000} they have two 20 files and 1 046 461 bytes. I asumed that they are the SAME two folder {color} *.

  And the readme file does not list the model 1410-604 in its readme file, so I can't explain it except as a Toshiba error. * {color: #ff0000} they put an incorrect BIOS on their website and has proposed updating and somehow lead to such mistakes. {color} *.

  (Except in the case that one of these models is a name that is different from the model 1410-604, and if that's the case... now I don't know why this BIOS do not work with this computer).

  The worst thing is that neither the other files (V1.10, 1.20 and 1.30) lists the 1410-604, apparently so no solution possible workaround for this problem. I need an original v1.20 to the CMOS, and Toshiba seems to have. They offered me to solve the problem, leaving the laptop to an ASP, and pay only € 95 for the work and about € 280 for a motherboard replacement, I will get it resolved. But they offer no guarantees of their possibilities because is a model "too old" and "abandoned" and "unsupported"...

  In other words, they said 'you don't have to bother with it, just go and buy a new' (something of quite out of my reach in this time of crisis): P

  Thanks for reading so far.

  Now, what I need is to get ideas on a work around for this, my ideas are:

  (1) the CMOS has some startup that works (it allows a roll-back if you have the appropriate file). So I need a good BIOS to burn in the CMOS memory, the SAME SAME model (a backup BIOS) but the backup should be sufficient for the burning program (CHGBIOSA.COM).

  (2) it is always possible that the BIOS might be OK, but the CMOS data has been corrupted somehow. If so, the CMOS of compensation could solve problem. But I wasn't able to find a clear cmos from the outside button, and after disasembling I took battery, with no good result. I try to leave the MOBO without battery for a period more long (I left it about 20 seconds) just in case where 20 seconds are not all capacitors for well pass zero values. I don't have a lot of hope in this point.

  (3) try to get a REAL good update from Toshiba. I contacted technical support several times, and I was able to verify that they are only - phone operators, with a script in front of them, and when the problem is going - out of reach, they fall in the same response: "you must go to an ASP. I still have a faint hope to find someone who really knows a little and could illuminate with a good BIOS in this disc.

  (4) as far as I could find, this BIOS is not any BIOS-manufacturer known. It seems that it has been developed by Toshiba (own brand), so the Phoenix crisis recovery disk won't be of any help here. As well as any other BIOS recovery tool not designed for Toshiba BIOS. But I'm open to all ideas, which could be put to the test more or less safely. (Remember that the 'BIOS-BOOT-PART' feature still works, I don't want to lose that possibility alone of redemption).

  Wwwaaaaoooowww... what a falks long post! Sorry about that!

  Forgive me, but I wanted to be really clear.

  Someone give some tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.

  Please don't say that I shouldn't be doing... I already know that. I already did some research and found my mistakes, not to repeat them. Now, I need to spend, to move and to try to solve this problem, or at least learn to solve similar things. As much as possible.

  Thank you once again, in advance, and sorry again.

  Hi Fenix,

  Wow... He tooked a lot of time to read your post...

  Maybe I can help you.

  The Bios in the website is the right one. If you have downloaded the right version of the Bios.

  Toshiba America, which has most of the time the Askiris you used isn't accurate models for Toshiba Europe.
  This should be the reason, why does not the readme file contain the European model.

  I'll try to do an update of the fresh Bios using the update of the traditional Bios.

  Copy the files on the disk, put it in the floppy drive, press and hold power on the notebook tab.
  After that the laptop is off, press on and hold the key on the left side of space power on the laptop new bar and wait until it turns off again.

  If your laptop does not power perhaps the most, the RAM is default?

  Therefore, if the use of the traditional Bios or change memory doesn't help, and your laptop is still dead you should go to a SPA, but it will cost money.

  I now have my fourth Toshiba laptop and I had never problems with the Bios updates.

  The 1410 is very old I think, so before you go to a SPA, I'd buy a new ;)

  Best regards

• Equium A60-173 does not work after bios update

  Computer laptop girls. A lot of windows screen blue/broken files. Who sets. Site Web de Toshiba says 1.8 bios c can stop it again - Web site also announces 1.90 bios. To go with this...

  Tried to Flash the Bios 1.90 which you have to do in the (stupid) windows. Naturally it hangs during the "preparing for the bios update", with only 15% of progress. WAITED a very long time (30-45 minutes) - no progress took place. Had to turn off the machine and had clearly not worked.

  Now the machine will even not respond to the switch. I was expecting a momentary start - but it's like the power switch has been disconnected. Actually attaching the power supply does not even turn on the power light!

  Can a flash failure turn off the machine so much?
  Or would it be another fault (as well!)?

  Thanks for the tips...

  > Not waited a very long time (30-45 minutes) - no progress has occurred. Had to turn off the machine

  Looks like you broke upward from the procedure of updating the BIOS and it's deadly!
  I put t see any other possibility as to contact the ASP in your country for assistance!

  Maybe you are a lucky man and module ROM on the motherboard is not damage and must be flashed only
  Please note that the update of the BIOS is risky! If you use an incorrect BIOS or update wrong procedure can damage the MB

• Equium L40-14i BIOS update now no start

  Hi all
  I had some problems with my lappie, checked if Toshiba support looking for updated drivers to slow down.
  They was a BIOS update with specified 2.00WIN an improvement in performance.

  My BIOS is v 1.60
  I'm running Vista and my model number is PSL49E

  There are warnings that this update is only for the models running Vista and PSL49x - so I thought that I was ok.

  The windows Flash update and I have a popup dialog told me that this was necessary.
  When the computer reboots, I pressed F2 and the version of the BIOS showed 2.00
  Then, I left the BIOS Setup and nada!
  Black screen, nothing else.
  The blue light is on power list, by nothing else the HARD disk light.

  It can be reflashed using FN + F and using the usb disk?
  If Yes, where can I download the BIOS original version 1.6

  Thanks a lot for any help

  Hello

  Seems that something wrong happened during the update of the BIOS.
  Possibly the ROM module was not properly flashed.
  If the ROM module must be flashed once more.

  The problem is that the European driver Toshiba page provides just the BIOS version focused on victory and this can be modified only from Windows OS.

  But I found the traditional BIOS on Toshiba page:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  But I can't very well if this BIOS would be compatible with your L40 so in this case, you will need to request the ASP from Toshiba in your country for assistance and for flashing the BIOS using the crisis disk BIOS m.

• Satellite Pro A200 - question on the BIOS update

  I have a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7E) with Windows Vista and XP that have been installed recently.
  In the driver of Toshiba page (BIOS update) says:

  "This Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista!"

  (1) should I update my BIOS (1.4) or it'll be a problem for my windows XP?

  (2) anyone has try?

  (3) is there documentation on the BIOS updates (bug fixes, etc.)?

  Hello

  I will try to be very short with answers:
  1. If you use Windows XP Home edition on your laptop have BIOS update with the version 5.30
  2 this version of BIOS is available for days and it is possible that many people already tried. By the way: until Toshiba out something that is tested and verified.
  3. Unfortunately there is documentation about bugs and patches, but the fact is that Toshiba has designed the 5.30 version to support the features of Windows XP Home edition on the models of laptops designed Vista

  Good bye

• PLEASE HELP WITH THE BIOS UPDATE!

  Hello, I have a hp pavilion g6 - 1202sa laptop, I installed windows 7 (64-bit), I was wondering if I can update my bios of f.35 to f.43 without any problems?

  the reason why I ask because on another forum a guy said I have to uninstall windows 7 and install windows vista and then update my bios and after that re-install windows 7, if I don't like that while he says I will brick my phone.

  could you please let me know if this is true or is it aload of shit.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can see on the HP document under this Bios version f.43 is supported for Windows 7 (both 32-bit or 64-bit versions).

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-100657-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4063&product=5182525&sw_lang=

  The only point I would make, as there is always the potential for something to go wrong when the bios update, is unless the new version fixes a problem you already have, or add the features you need, I would not disturb no risk.

  Kind regards

• ThinkPad T400 not display after BIOS update

  Hello dear,

  I updated my BIOS via Lenovo BIOS update and everything went successfully and it asked me to restart your computer after the BIOS update and now I don't get any screen, I waited like 10-15 min to see if I can see something and saw it started and I've updated my drivers for win 7 ultimate and when restarting again I don't have no matter what screen and I wait 20 more to see if I get something.  Anyone else facing the same problem here after the BIOS update?

  What should I do guys then, I always let the warranty? Update BIOS removes the guarantee?

  Thanks in advance for your advice

• BIOS update failed on Tecra R10 with Windows7

  Hello

  I have problems with the update the BIOS of my Tecra R10J. The current version is 1.4, and I want to upgrade to 3.0, so I downloaded from the Toshiba web site the good file named "P006Cv300.exe" 2009-11-04 released. It is an update of the BIOS online in a real session of Windows 7. Simply right click the compress exe, click Run as admin and that is all, but... for me, he said:
  * "[Error] the start of the service was abandoned. The user doesn't have administrative privileges. "

  See below:
  http://perso.Orange.fr/100Mo/bioserror.jpg

  I tried with:
  -closed AV, firewall, etc...
  -turn off UAC
  -Run as administrator
  -Tried with another admin account
  -Safe mode (update of the bios doesn't support safe mode)
  -lead the local administrator session

  No change. Always the message "user lacks administrative privileges."
  Need help please, found nothing on Google (similar but not resolved Bios problem!)

  Thank you

  Hey ignore them,

  As Akuma has already written the added value Package must be installed for BIOS update for the BIOS to read system information correctly. Besides, the VAP is needed for special functions such as the FN keys so it must be installed.

  It would be interesting to know what is happening with the factory settings. I guess that your computer laptop wasn t ship with Windows 7, but with Vista and you should try it with Vista.
