• Qosmio F60 - HDD and BIOS issues

  I have a Qosmio F60. 1 months since purchase, and I'm having problems. I organize my questions for a better look.

  (1) if there is a new BIOS update, should I put to update mine? Mine is currently on 2.10, and the last is 2.50! And I know the change log, because I can't find it anywhere. : S

  (2) if I'm in the MBR, where there are two options (Windows 7, Ubuntu Linux) and I press the ESC key. The screen goes black, and the laptop fan is running at full speed noisy. The same thing happens if I reboot/hibernate Ubuntu. Also, this sometimes happen to the instance that I push the power button to turn on the PC, but this is rare.

  (3) my HARD drive creates serious noise. I think that all hard drives have, but I have to check if it is safe, and what could be the cause. The sound is little consecutive cracks when the HARD drive is reading.

  (4) the BIOS I found (2.50) is for the model no: PQF65-E, while mine is PQF65-L. I ran the .exe, and he identified my current BIOS without any compatibility issues. Although I don't actually flashed the BIOS, because I want to question 1) answered first.

  Thanks in advance

  Well, if you have problems, then an update of the BIOS can be useful.
  Here you will find an instruction how to do this:

  Sorry mate, but as I know Linux is not supported by Toshiba. So I can't say about concerns generally Linux could react a little bit different as a windows OS and of course the cooling modules could run differently also.

  The sound is little consecutive cracks when the HARD drive is reading.

  In your case I would always back up data on another HARD drive or a disk to be always on the safe side.
  I mean the HARD drive can still die and it s better to have backups of backup.

• Satellite M30 742: update BIOS issue

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M30-742.

  The BIOS does not recognise my new NEC optiarc DVD RW AD - unit 5540 a. so I need to do a BIOS upgrade.

  Can someone tell me where can I get BIOS more recent (I currently v1.40) and how the procedure is done?

  Thank you in advance.

  Concerning

  Maybe you don't need to update n the BIOS but a CD/DVD player compatible and taken in charge? ;)

  Not all CD/DVD slimline drives are compatible with laptops due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.

  I is recommended; buy a compatible player and don t flash BIOS because this willnot help!

  A hint more; If you try to update the BIOS with the bad BISO or bad procedure the laptop motherboard could be too bad!

  So be careful dude!

• Update BIOS issue and on Satellite A200-1z3 FN key

  Dear all,

  Satellite A200-1z3

  I have the same problem as many of you already described here. After downgrading from Win XP, I discovered this part of the features enabled by the FN key don't work, for example FN + F2 FN + F6, FN + F7, FN + F8, FN + F9, FN + F12, FN + 1, FN + 2, FN + TAB.

  I read in this forum and found that you can solve this problem be reinstall BIOS. When I tried to download BIOS on site it requires Pass and Login which I don't have. If you have any suggestions to download it from there?

  If not, how I can activate keboard light FN + F2 and the scroll Lock FN + F9 without button FN button.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  > When I tried to download BIOS on site requires Login and Pass that I n t I.
  Did you use the right page of the Toshiba driver?
  You story sounds strange for me because I have visited the Toshiba European page and choose your model. Satellite A200-1z3 PSAE3E.

  And I was able to download the BIOS 5, 60 - WIN.

  Then maybe you should try again I'm sure it'll work!

  Good bye

• Satellite A200-1BW - BIOS issue

  I have the above laptop downgraded to purchase Vista Ultimate to WXP SR2, but I'll have questions, get the BIOS to recognize that there is 4 GB of RAM in there. He thinks that there is 3GB.

  Two ram chips have been checked and they are pairs of 2 GB.
  The version of the BIOS that is running is 1.4.

  The 3 questions I have are:

  1. What is the portable version, should I be selection when choosing my laptop to look for a BIOS upgrade, I guess it's the (Satellite A200 (PSAEC) as is the farm that need the code of the laptop on the back, I don't see that the A200-1BW listed anywhere on your site. It is an upgrade of the BIOS so I want to make sure that I applied the correct version.

  2. what BIOS should I be executed, because the BIOS in Vista is currently 1.8 and the BIOS XP currently 5.8, it seems that my laptop is running the wrong version of the BIOS for my operating system.

  3 upgrades new BIOS (if any) does the problem of 3 to 4 GB?

  Note: It is not that memory does not appear in Windows XP Home edition, it's the BIOS screen post indicating that he has only 3 GB on the machine when there are actually 4GB

  Thanks in advance
  Tony

  With regard to the number of question

  (1) the serial number of the laptop is found at the bottom of the unit. Check the label. I found the info also, that the A200-1BW would belong to the PSAECE series.

  (2) If you are using the operating system XP on this laptop you must update the BIOS to the XP version. If you want to use Vista, updated the BIOS to the version of Vista.

  (3) usually after the BIOS update the 4 GB of memory should be recognized.
  Note _But; _ the version of Vista 32 bit will always be use only 3 GB of RAM due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS!

• 2180 satellite CDT: update BIOS issue

  I have an old Satellite 2180 CDT and a message saying "ready for the update of the BIOS. Please insert a disc of the BIOS update... "appears when I turn on the computer.

  I downloaded the update to the correct BIOS to floppy and follow the instructions of Toshiba.
  When I insert the disk and press a key.
  the disk starts for a second, but stops and starts again. It continues, and at the same time, the laptop emits a short beep every time the hard drive begins.
  Light flashing for the floppy green.

  I'll be very grateful for any help. I don't often use the computer, but it has some important information on this subject...).

  Hello

  Can you please tell what wrong because I s t see any problems.
  The fact is that you can hear a beeping sound during the BIOS update procedure.
  Did you get the error messages or something like that?

  Maybe this document of the BIOS update will help you:

• Equium A200-1VO: update Bios issue

  Someone at - it updated the Bios here with the latest offer.
  I wanted to do because the port for express adapter card seems to not work properly.

  But all I get is an error message - 120 of Winphlash saying the Bios is incorrect, but I downloaded it twice and double checked each stage.

  Equium A200-1V0 seems to belong to the series of PSAF5.
  Have you downloaded the BIOS for this series?

  In addition, you can check the label at the bottom of the unit. You should see the serial number too.

  By the way; I put t think that the BIOS update will solve the problem of port adapter express card.
  I put t know exactly what the problem is, but if you use the compatible and fully support the express cards then everything should function.

• Vista pavilion rp408ua #aba CPU bios issue

  So I'm looking to upgrade my processor to a vs amd turion 1.6 my laptop 2 GHz shipped with. Someone told to update my bios before trying it in the ide melanote do not forget that it can handle the processor. A problem is that I can't find my laptop on hp site anywhere. Y at - there someone who can help me with this. In the second place. I hear that I can't upgrade to windows 7 on this note. Is this true? I'm trying to run my audio workstation digital on this until I can afford to complete the construction of my office. Thanks in advance for your help.

  Thank you very much... Another question (as I probably will upgrade the bios and processor even without win7) this information tells me that this model came with the t60 amd or Intel t7200... I'm running with tuition amd clocked at 1.6 GHz for now so I guess I'll be upgrading to the t60 ok, but I really want to go with the Intel... They are types of different slot? (am I basically suck with the amd, nothing against it, I just need a little extra power I can get)... Yet once again, thank you so much 4 the previous answer... Helped a ton

  No problem, you are always welcome!

  Well, Intel and AMD are completely different architectures. Intel processors are more powerful and I prefer rather than AMD ones.
  I just checked the service guide and you could replace the AMD motherboard with an Intel processor, one more actually buy this T7200 ($55 pn # 435849-001). There are 6 Intel motherboards so you will need to know if the laptop is full or defeatured. Disassemble the chassis and take a look at the part number on the motherboard (which must match the number of the part in the manual). It will also need some fan/heat sink and a power connector cable. Memory, disk hard and other components will work with the Intel motherboard, but the operating system on the hard drive is best to reinstall.

• Nc6400 - update BIOS issue?

  My mobile is the version of April 16, 2007 f.0Une and the new verson is F.0B September 5, 2007.

  However, under the section of the BIOS update, there are 4 downloads for my laptop, but I'm not sure which one I need to download: -.

  Can anyone suggest what I need to download and install, and if it's worth updated the BIOS to the next version?

  Kind regards...

  Hello:

  I have a nc6400. You would flash to F.0B version with the help of the utility of flashing for Windows/Vista operating system:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?swItem=ob-54183-1&TaskID=135&swLang=8&swEnvOID=1093&prodNameId=1847704&lang=en&cc=us&mode=2&

  However, do not Flash the BIOS if you run Windows 7. I heard some reports of poor souls bricking their nc6400 when they flashed in Windows 7.

  I agree with David 100%. Unless the new BIOS version solves a problem you encounter, or you need to Flash the BIOS so that it will support new material such as a processor that is supported in the new version of the BIOS, but not in the version that you have, then it's OK.  Always read the release notes that are provided with each revision of BIOS which list the improvements and corrections.

  In addition, you should always disable or uninstall your antivirus before trying to Flash the BIOS in a Windows environment. If you do not, your AV program can think a virus attack your BIOS, and it will attempt to interrupt the flash. You will know that everything is going well until you will restart your computer and it is completely unnecessary.

  You can even Flash the BIOS in Windows safe mode.

I used a05 and tried to go to the a11, now, my computer is restarted with fans blowing as hard as they can, its been like this for about an hour, something else that I looked at tells me that I shouldn't have jumped so many version and it shouldn't take this long. Is it possible to avoid the bricking of my computer at this point?

• help with bios/ram

  Hi all

  the story is as follows:

  I have a HP a1555a desktop computer. If it was repaired by HP, they replaced the motherboard. Twice in fact, first replacement was defective also.

  Now when I go into the bios it says the following: revision of the Bios: 3.24 18/01/07

  Basic verion: 08.00.12

  Model number: (nothing - blank)

  Product number: Asteropi

  Build IDS: NULL

  before you have my correct model number, product ID numbers and build now. Also, I can not use hp update because it does not recognize the model as HP.

  The above is without real drama, except that I put in an additional stick of RAM and he does not notice the second Bank. It only recognizes the first bank or ram, which was installed by hp. In the bios it's all gray and I seem to think that it is a bios issue that caused the above questions.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, and yes my ram is ok.

  Is it possible to erase the bios completely? and start again.

  Thanks in advance ~!

  Try to take the CMOS battery, clear the CMOS jumpers on your motherboard, and finally try retting your BIOS settings in the BIOS.
