  Hello Valentink,

  Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  I understand that you believe that you have installed an incorrect BIOS update on HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510y desktop PC. I checked and the two BIOS updates you link to are for your computer, the only difference is the version the update of the BIOS of motherboard ΜATX-RS880-H is Version 6.11 Rev has what is more recent, then the N-Alvorix-RS880 card motherboard BIOS update which is Version 6.07 Rev A. You cannot install the second update is because the you have a more recent version.

  I wouldn't worry have the incorrect BIOS up-to-date is one you have for the computer. As you can see on the page the two updates BIOS Drivers of HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510y desktop PC are listed for your computer.

  I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  Disconnect the PC and press and hold power for 30 seconds. Remove and replace the battery CMOS. It's a $4 item. Now let's see what happens. If no joy, then try the steps above once again.

  If your PC support has been changed or modified then put it back in its original state.

• Napa-GL8E Motherboard BIOS update problems

  Hi, I have a Pavilion Elite m927a and Sunday, this update of the Napa-GL8E motherboard BIOS wanted to install. I did, and then all the computer froze. I was like, oops. so I forced it closed (power button which took place) and rebooted, and the same update arrived. I though maybe if I get rid of the process would lead, it does not freeze? so I forced it shut again, and the entire computer is dead. Would not boot the computer and emitted a beep code in groups of two, given that the BIOS was not happy (couldn't get the MESSAGE). So, I would have reset the BIOS myself, ' cept that I just bought a month ago, and I didn't kill my warranty, so I called HP and got a technician of po as a side note, it took over an hour for a person pick up, and I've been waiting very unfortunately. Anyway, the Grinch came to a fixed rate (I don't know what he did I wasn't there), but it doesn't have me talk about the update, and now, she wants to always be updated the update even that caused all the trouble.

  My question is this; What should I do about it? I'm too scared to run it again in fear of having to w8 for a technician again.

  Ty! ^^

  Do not install it.

  Word to the wise, do not install an update of the BIOS, unless you have a problem or you need something like a new game or software.

  This hp article should help you remove the element of updates (especially the last two sections):

• Satellite L40 - 14 H - do not start after the successful BIOS update

  Hello

  I have Satellite L40 - 14 H which was working fine until I thought to an update of the BIOS will not hurt. Seems I was wrong.

  I downloaded the update to the BIOS, it unzipped in a folder and started the action.

  After a few seconds was asked to wait, and then after few more firm.

  After the reboot, I pressed F2 to enter the BIOS and check that it is version everything was fine, version 2.0 so was I left once the parameters.

  After that, nothing happened.

  I almost tried everything without success. Removed the power and battery power, put their back, but still no start. Just the light of the HARD drive lights up for a few seconds and the cd turns a bit, but after that nothing happens at all and completely the screen is black.

  I don't know anything else to try.

  Please let me know what that can do to restore its functionality without taking it to the service, I can't do it.
  I think that may not be cause of failure of the BIOS update I have seen it is the version and was right.
  Is it possible to reset the BIOS? I need to disassemble the laptop to do this?
  Let me know what to do, I have good experience in such things, but I can't understand this.

  Thanks in advance for any response.

  Kind regards
  Stefan

  Hello

  I agree with Akuma. It really isn't that you can do about it. BIOS problems are complex and cannot be set by the owner of the laptop. Believe me you need professional help with this.
  Contact the closest Toshiba ASP and explain the situation.

• Spectrum of HP: Cannot install the latest Bios Update

  I get the following error message when it installs the update to the Bios: C2-error: area is write protected

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome aboard!

  How about trying to update using the USB in the BIOS/UEFI > > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00042629/ ?

  You can also check this > > http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-System-and-Recovery/SOLVED-Can-not-update-Bios-Probook-640-G2/m-p/5683581#M446920

  ========

  Some notes - as mentioned in the article itself - updated only if you really must. Personally, I don't recommend do you it unless you're having problems with your existing BIOS and you are sure that the new BIOS will fix it.

  General recommendation I provided to users/customers is NOT to upgrade the BIOS/UEFI, unless they live any sort of BIOS/UEFI problem specific. Just for updaing and update just for the use of the latest verson is not the solution. Any type of update (no matter what and that relesed it) can solve 2 problems but could introduce more than 10 questions. In addition, upgrading the BIOS (for any provider) are risky more because the BIOS recovery is not that easy compared to updates of typical software IF something goes wrong.

  It goes the same for Windows updates, OS update, drivers, etc - update/update updates IF you have any questions, you know are fixed in the new version or for some serious security problems. Otherwise, keep the existing version as long as possible.

  I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or if you have difficulties

• Satellite A100 does not start after the wrong Bios Update

  Yesterday, I upgraded my BIOS of 1.90 to 2.20 for VISTA... now, apparently, I downloaded the BIOS bad a100 to my A100 (PAAS...)

  Now the computer turn on (no display) then a few seconds later stops offshore and turns on again (without interruption), I am under warranty (and the computer is in the store) but I was wondering what to do if Toshiba is not honor the warranty?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Hello

  I'm sorry to say, but it seems that you don't have the choice.
  You can ask him authorized partner in your country for the help that I know, BIOS update errors are not covered by a warranty and you will have to pay a small fee for fixing.

  In the worst cases, the motherboard must be replaced:(mais peut-être avez_vous une évasion chanceuse et seulement la puce ROM doit être flashée à nouveau)

• Does not begin with satellite A350 - accident or failure of the motherboard BIOS?

  Hello, first of all, sorry for my English :).

  I have the Toshiba Satellite A350-13 model has and very big trouble with it: when I turn it on by the power button, power light begins to shine, I can hear the voice of the fan for a second - then it stops and I noticed that HARD drive starts to work - I can hear and see by flashing the lamp next to the lamp stack CD player also works, but nothing else happens. There is nothing on the monitor. It seems that the bios is not starting. Let me explain what I do when it all started. My computer worked correctly, but there was a small mess on my HARD drive, then I got the CD recovery system, I realized after buying computer. Everything was ok, the system is working properly, so I started to install my software. I didn't not uninstall this program installed at the factory for system optimization that is (I do not remember his name now, but I mean this program that shows you update for your drivers - I remember that there are updates for the recognition of faces, videos etc..) I installed all the updates that this program presents, including the update of the BIOS. When I've done with the installation of these updates, I noticed that my keyboard does not work - with any button.

  By the time windows has ended it is updated, so I went to "Relight system" in the start menu of windows of the mouse. Then the closed system itself, I saw that windows updates itself as there are always after downloading the updates, but when all this happened at the end and computer must turn off and turn back on, I saw white screen. Computer has not restarted while I was expecting a few minutes. I turned off the computer by holding down the button market / stop and play again. Then, he didn't get up and it's like that for now. What will happen? Is - it caused by the BIOS update I did? Or - is it possible that this motherboard fell down? I think this is connected with the bios, indeed with his absence :) But when I switch on the computer, the keyboard still does not - I can see it, because the green light should appear on the CAPS LOCK button when I hit him if there is a power, even if the bios does not work. Am I wrong? Is there any possible to return BIOS configuration of fabric? I'm quite confused, because I have that for two months - it is like new. I'm excluding the dysfunction of the monitor.

  I hope any of you had a problem like this and there is a possible solution for it. My computer is always guaranteed.

  > My computer is always guaranteed.
  That of the point! Please contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and leave check your laptop.
  There is serious hardware problem, and I don't think you can do something.

• The downloaded BIOS update, do not know if it has been installed, update view has not changed.

  HP Support Assistant informed me that I have to download an update of the BIOS. After downloading and restarting the laptop, notification to download the update of the BIOS is still there. Tried redownloading but this time to stop the power of 10secs then turned on, but the BIOS update notice always there. After research on the HP site, found a note saying that I shouldn't update my BIOS unless there is a problem.

  The update is? Should I just ignore the update?

  Thank you!

  Hi @RobMan

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that you have found a message asking to update your BIOS to the support assistant and that you downloaded it, but the message remains. I'm happy to help you with this.

  First of all, please send the complete product number and check the operating system on your laptop. See the following if you need help to find those.
  How can I find my model number or product number?
  Is the Version of Windows on my computer 32-bit or 64-bit?

  It is not absolutely necessary to update the BIOS if you encounter any problems with something on your system. Once I have your product information, I can find the right drivers page, and from there we can find out which BIOS versions are available and notes see what corrections or changes are a part of it.

  I have this also, include indicative.

• The HP BIOS update seems to have caused havoc with my laptop HP G62

  After him have updated software for my PC BIOS of G2-244 HP laptop usb mouse doesn't work.  I checked Device Manager and all the USB ports seem to be defective with a "!" triangle icon next to them.  When I ask to check the drivers of these ports, the device manager tells me that the drivers are current and good.  Anyone else had problems with the recent update of the HP BiOS?

  I also tried to reinstall my old BiOS version (online successfully) but no change to the usb port is port problem

  You will need to reinstall the original chipset drivers.

  Go to the Start Menu -> click on all programs ->, click on manage recoveryr (open Recovery Manager).

  From there, under "I need help immediately" you can select "Hardware Driver réinstallation"-> click Next.  When you see the list of available selection drivers "ATi (or AMD) Driver VGA" and click Next.  Once it's done, click on finish, then will restart your computer and you can test your system/USB devices to verify that it is fixed.

  If it does not, meet with your specific model number or PN (product number).

• the X100e BIOS update failure

  Hi all

  I installed the latest version of BIOS x100e (v1.34) using the ThinkVantage System update utility on my computer laptop x100e and I can't access Windows after restart. Looks like the hard drive is not readable. Windows does not load and I can't start the Lenovo recovery successfully utility either.

  I was on the page to update the BIOS to the x100e but everything is focused on updates via Windows and I don't have access to a DVD - ROM drive with this model, so can not go down from the bootable CD installation.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Rich

  Fixed: Chnaged SATA setting in BIOS for 'Compatibility' and Windows loaded successfully.

• Re: Satellite Pro L40 - killed the laptop BIOS update

  Recently I thought it would be better to download the latest drivers and upgrades for my Satellite pro L40 to keep up-to-date and partners the laptop that works smoothly. I couldn't have worse summer. Before I updated the new driver updates I thought it would be a good idea first update the Bios. So I downloaded the update of the Bios on the Toshiba site, unzipped the files and followed the online instructions for updating the BIOS. I double clicked on the BIOS file to run the update, the laptop says it was end the session, I waited and the Toshiba logo screen came. In the instructions, it says that I have to press F2 now and confirm that the date and time are correct. I should then press F9 to load all the default values and then press F10 to save and exit. At this point, the laptop must away to the loading screen, but... I got a black screen. IV turned off the computer and turn it back on, but still, I get a blank screen. The lights are on but know one's home.

  Could a mod/staff/Board Toshiba administrator please explain to me why I'm going to draw the consequences of my lack full on my face because I followed a form of direct teaching of personnel of Toshiba or... Please run me through the process of bring back my cell partners in life, before that I get my Crown snatched jewels. This isn't a laugh. An upgrade directly from the manufacturer is not intended to cause you problems!

  Please get back to me as soon as POSSIBLE. My first son moments of life (videos, photos) are on this laptop. That cannot be replaced. Please tell me that the laptop can be fixed...

  Hello Durks

  I'm really sorry to hear you I have this problem.
  To be honest, it is not easy to discuss about this because a lot of people on this forum with a similar or same problem reacts quite aggressive if they don t hear exactly the thing they want to hear.

  In any case, I just want to write my comment. Don t be worried about photos and other important data. You can remove the laptop HARD drive, put it in a small box of HDD SATA 2.5 and connect the HARD drive to the other PC / laptop as external device. You will have full access to all stored data. So you can do the backup.

  Update the BIOS.
  What to say at this point?
  I have checked the Toshiba download page and saw that the BIOS update is available for Windows XP Home edition and Vista pre-installed notebooks so I hope you ve chosen the right one. Anyway, it is not easy to fix screwed up in the BIOS. You hate me now, but I think you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Call them, explain the situation and ask what you can do about it.

  I hope you will fix this laptop soon.

  Good luck.
