Lost password 'setup' portable ARMARDA E500 BIOS update.

I have an old E500 ARMARDA which works very well and don't want to lose him.  How can I get around the demand for 'PASSWORD' during the upgrade of its file of bios with the 'SP20947 '. File "EXE" downloaded hepl HPCOMPAQ page I can't find my password?  This password is requested in the dialoge BACK box when I try to run the downloaded file. Any ideas anyone? Thank you. Chris has shone.

Did what you said. When the computer reboots, it wouldn't start so I put the disk in drive A that I did with the sp20947.exe on her file and Bingo! I was overall upward with the old password passed.  Made my own p/w, etc. and filled the various bits and pieces in the installation program and so I'm now much further. This old machine has now turned into a battle of wills between me and her.  Still hard to start, but I changed the boot order, so I can get BACK with a boot disc and I activated "Multiboot" in the installer.  This thing is 15 years old is small battery RTC may need renewal? It does not seem to keep a track of date and time.  Also, do you know that if I could get a download of the manual you referred me to.  This is nothing like the manual supplied with the machine.  Finally, thank you very much.  There was no chance that I have that would have solved mine.  Thank you very much, Chris Shone, (even more of the machine!)

  • Lost his w / BIOS update - did this to return:

    After reading all the other blogs on the same topic (no sound after BIOS upgrade), I tried a few combinations of suggested solutions. I'm the one that worked for me, but I don't know if there will be implications:

    1. by "Device Manager ', I uninstalled my audio driver (IDT High Definition CODEC) and with advanced also deleted parameters the driver software of the device."

    2. by "Programs and features" I uninstalled the software Audio IDT (towards 1.0.6418.0) which seemed to have been installed with the BIOS update.

    --> That forced a restart.

    --> When my system rebooted it automatically searched and found my audio driver - now I've got audio and Media Center works great...

    Hello

    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a license to retail for Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition (with SP1) is installed.

    Before installing Vista, I have updated the BIOS to the latest version available on the Toshiba site (http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT).
    BIOS version is now 2.20 - WIN32

    If someone has to take care of the warning, it's Microsoft. They offer something new and they know with certainty that he could have different negative influence on the operating system running well.

    Toshiba may just try to react and change has tools and utilities, but it's not easy. you will see that soon or later Toshiba will offer updates for all non-working stuff. The same is with WXP SP2.

  • Thunderbird again lost my setup of encryption

    Thunderbird has been working well, encryption and decryption on a regular basis. An update must have happened (I don't remember if this is what has marked the change) and I started to see "this message will be unsigned and not encrypted." on the Enigmail strip at the top. He seems to have lost my setup working keys.

    Also, when I go on the account setting > Security > view certificates > import

    He is unable to accept the relevant .asc file that had worked before. It requires the PKCS12 file, which I have none!

  • All content tiles missing and integrated PDF reader and password manager no longer works after update to 34.0

    Hello
    After that I updated to 34.0 on OSX 10.9.5 (auto update comprehensive), I noticed that all of the content of the tile is missing. Before the update, I have seen a lot of tiles when I open a new tab. Even after a few navigation, no content appears (I see only an array of blank tiles). I went between white classic, bright, cooler. No effect.

    In addition, integrated in the viewer PDF does not work. All the time I click on the pdf link, I see the window to download the PDF with the title "enter the name of the file to save on...» ». Before the update, PDF Viewer has not worked, no problem. After that I noticed the problem, I checked that the preferences-> requests and confirmed that the action to the 'Portable Document Format (PDF)' content type is set to "Preview in Firefox".

    In addition, Manager of integrated password also stopped working. He remembers no new password. It provides no password already known on the site where he provided automatically the account and the password before the update. I checked the preferences-> Security-> saved passwords. There are a lot of passwords to remember (remember before the update).

    I re - install the firefox manually. It does not help.

    Can someone help me? Is there any information I can provide to sort my problem?

    You can check for problems with preferences.

    Delete possible user.js and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

  • irreversible bios update made noisy fan (8710p, 8710w, 8510p, 8510w, fan, F.20, F.0E)

    Hey.

    I just want to share my experience with the update of the bios on my computer hp 8710w laptop and talk to HP support. I've updated F.0E to F.20 and after that this fan went wild. In windows 7 it works very well every boots 2 / 3, or more. All fans of time runs fast, no matter what the system load and temperature are. What makes the portable noisy.

    I used to use linux and it just fan slow down after spinning up to cool the system. It is really something that you want to have, because it becomes a noisy vacuum cleaner with an excellent machine and quiet.

    I have enough evidence to assume that the problem was caused by the update of the bios. First of all, it started exactly after the bios update when nothing else has been changed. Secondly, 5 years ago I had a very similar laptop (8710p) and when I have updated the bios to F.0F, it's the same thing, but I fortunately downgraded the bios and everything was back to normal. In addition, reported others on the internet and these discussion forums.

    Now with the update of F.20... There is no way to downgrade. It's embarrassing: HP has released a update this feature breaks... and there is no way back (except the replacement of the card system, which is expensive for laptops out of warranty).

    I was the cat and then talk on the phone with HP support. They are not really very close to professional. First, they said that my windows 7 is not officially supported and should I install xp or vista. I have xp installed specially for them, and which consumes a lot of time. Of course, nothing has changed. And they actually all drivers for windows 7...

    The best advice of hp support has been trying to install all previous versions of the bios. I reported a failure on each one, then only, they found in the description of the version F.20 could not be downgraded. After reading the forums here for 15 minutes, I knew much more technical support on my laptop and the question, lol.

    After talking with me for a time very long (like 3 or 4 hours) and say that I try to restart my machine, or start with the Windows key + b, etc., they said that my laptop is out of warranty, and there is nothing that they can help me with.

    I confess that the laptop is out of warranty... but only suffers from the update of the official firmware that cannot be downgraded. Yes, I know I'm supposed to buy a new replacement HP laptop. But... This look bad.

    Now, I'll get a replacement bios chip, programmed with the previous version of the bios and soldered to the motherboard...

    Hello to the guys at HP support. They are nice people who try to be useful, they don't know anything about their products :-)

    Hello programmers to the HP bios... Please... Please be better, please learn that bugs can be corrected.

    Problem solved! :-D

    I downgraded to F.0E

  • Equium A110 - 276 BIOS update for Windows 7 32 bit

    "Hello everyone, I'd like to update the BIOS on my satellite A110-276 and the two choices are 'OS Independent' and ' Windows Vista 32 bit. I have Windows 7 32 bit on this laptop. If I choose "OS Independent" it tells me ' Bios is NOT compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista! "and if I choose" Windows Vista 32 bit ' he reads "Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista!

    Exclamation points are Toshiba, not me ;)

    So I am stuffed and I need to stay with my current BIOS, or can, I use Windows Vista BIOS update?

    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Hello

    First question; Why do you update the BIOS?
    Do you want to update only to have a newer version?
    If your Windows 7 is working well, then a BIOS update is not necessary.

    Otherwise, install Vista OS to Toshiba Recovery (if available) disk, the BIOS update and then change to Win 7 ;)

  • Portege Z810 and BIOS update 1.80

    What the BIOS for Portege Z830 update (PT224 / PT225 / PT22L), version 1.80 do?

    The description says fair + "This BIOS update adds functionality to your system." +, and I couldn't find anything about this website more Toshiba on. The update has been published on 24-05 - 2013.

    I assume that Z810 Portege European must be like us Z830/Z835 (PT224x/PT225x) so I ve checked the page American support for the update of the BIOS and here's the info on the BIOS updates:

    + Version 1.80 - 2013-04-25 +.
    + Optimized a BIOS setting to improve the reliability of hibernation RESUME. +

    + Version 1.70 - 2012-09-12 +.

    + Version 1.50 - 2012-02-13 +.
    + Add a boot LOGO sequence for ZAT (GPS) models. +
    + Improved: Control of the TPM on Intel TXT module enabled systems. +
    + Implemented a fix for a problem where the BIOS password can be entered when it is configured as follows: 1. wired USB keyboard is connected to the port replicator. Wireless USB mouse is connected to a USB port on the computer. 3. computer is docked in the duplicator. +
    + Implemented a fix for a problem where the BIOS password can be entered with some USB keyboards. +

    + Version 1.40 - 2011-11-15 +.
    + Improved: The TPM on Intel TXT control enabled systems. +

    + Version 1.30 - 2011-10-27 +.

  • Satellite A350 - 22Q - BIOS update crashed

    I have a big problem because of Toshiba update official Bios for the A350 models.

    After downloading & unpacking of the Bios Update WinPhlash just started upgrading the Bios without PROMPTING. This is NOT acceptable! After 10 seconds or if the laptop froze just straight up. Stayed that way for 3 minutes or more. The only way to turn it off was by removing the power cord & battery. Cranking up again gave me nothing but black screen.

    I tried various recovery options, for the most part Phoenix crisis disk Build. But unfortunately no luck.

    Calling customer service of Toshiba (Netherlands) is not really useful at all. Tell me a bios update is not a smart thing to do. My answer-> then why you put it on your website and an update of the BIOS is sometimes necessary for the upgrade of the machine. After that the guys asked me to send the laptop to a notoriously bad service center (for laptops) DYNAFIX. Of course I wouldn't do this if I don't want my laptop is still more damaged.

    Now I probably have to replace the BIOS chip. It will cost me my own tithe that my laptop is no longer guaranteed.

    I'm very angry at Toshiba to put such a method of updating the dangerous bios on their website. I am an advanced user and rarely have questions, that I can't fix on my own. BIOS updates must be made in the DOS environment, not with WinPhlash Windows.

    If Toshiba or anyone who believes that it was my mistake, by all means try it yourself. Also google the problem, you will see tons of users of Toshiba laptops posted on the forums with this problem of WinPhlash.

    Please Toshiba, remove or change the bios update and find a solution for the customer to chip away at. I'll be happy to hear from you with a solution.

    Hey Buddy,

    I'm sorry to hear that, but I must say this can happen from time to time. Nobody is perfect, also no perfect software. But may I ask why you updated the BIOS?

    Of course, in some cases, it might be necessary, but to be honest, if everything worked correctly in the past and you didn t have any problem I n t see a reason to make such update. Your laptop will not work faster with the new version of the BIOS, it s a little bug fixing but that doesn t mean that each update of the BIOS needs to be done because nobody uses really all the functions of the laptop.
    As is the saying: never touch a running system! ;)

    If you make an update of the BIOS, check the following things before:
    -Disable the antivirus and firewall
    -Close all running programs
    -Make sure that you are logged on as an administrator
    -Unzip all files from zip archive

    I made such a function BIOS update Windows 5 times now and everything worked and no problems at all. Update was made in a few minutes and laptop restarted correctly. After updating the BIOS that I loaded the default settings to ensure that the new BIOS settings are correct.

    In any case, now it s too late and your only option is to reflash the ROM module as MannerhagenVPO has already written. This can be done a service allowed because they have special tools for this case and specially designed for this model of laptop. With these tools, they can recover the BIOS and bring your laptop to life.

    Then get in touch with the guy and ask for help. They can help you get rid of this problem.
    Moreover, I don't see a reason why Toshiba should remove this BIOS update. All updates will be pre-tested if they work or not. Also from my own experience, I can say that the updates are always ok and don t causing problems.

    I think that you you will find similar discussions on failure update BIOS when using Google, but who cares? Can you tell us that these users quite correct (closed antivirus, firewall, etc.). I doubt that
    The next point is that you will also find these Google results if you search for other models from other manufacturers of portable computers. This isn't a matter of Toshiba, it s in general risk of update of the BIOS and no one can give you a guarantee that this update will be correctly. :)

    Good day!

  • Satellite A110 - 180 PSABOE - Bios update failure

    Hello.

    I've updated the bios with an update from the center of toshiba, but the process is unresponsive and I had to restart the computer. The result is the laptop does not start because I think I lost the bios of programming. I test this http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Technology/Satellite-A215-S4747-Bios-update-failure/m-p method but the laptop will beep 3 times every 2 seconds without stopping and with black screen only. The CD-ROM unit tries to start but that's all.

    If anyone knows a separate solution that replace the motherboard, please tell me to probe it.

    Thanks for your help.

    > I've updated the bios with an update from the center of toshiba, but the process is unresponsive and I had to restart the computer. The result is the laptop doesn't start

    To me, it looks like the BIOS update procedure has no
    I'm afraid you have no other alternative besides contacting an ASP using m.

    It seems that the ROM module is not flashed on the correct order and the technician could try to relash Rom module with a BIOS version of crisis

  • Satellite C55-A-16Z - graphics card does not work after BIOS update

    Hello

    I have a portable Satellite C55-A-16Z with windows 8 and a Nvidia geforce 740M graphics card.

    Last week he asked me to update the version of the bios at 1.30.
    The bios update was successful.

    However when I restarted my laptop I started having a BSOD dgxkrnl.sys.
    Correction of the error and restarted for an another BSOD Windows, and after the second solution, I stopped making BSOD.
    But now, I noticed its games running, if not use the dedicated card, but use the 4000 Intel.

    In the settings Nvidia dedicated card is configured to be always on.
    It seems that my card is missing, but it appears in Device Manager.
    I tried to delete, update the drivers and the default factory reset, but nothing helped.

    Also, when I go into Options power the Intel card is listed and when I disable the card intel in the Device Manager it starts to use the graphic viewer for windows.

    How can I get my Nvidia card to work again?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    After the BIOS update the BIOS should be set to default settings.
    You can do it in the BIOS.

    In addition, you mentioned that Windows 8 is still installed on your laptop.
    8.1 to win has already been published by Microsoft and I highly recommend that update you the system of 8 to 8.1 Win Win.

    Before you start the upgrade to 8.1 win, you should check and read the instructions step by step for Toshiba: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/

    I guess that after the Win 8.1, nVidia graphics card upgrade works well also.

    Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
