• 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!

  Hello

  What version is broadcast in the BIOS settings?
  Go to BIOS and check this!

  Usually, we should see version 4.8
  If your update of the BIOS has been updated correctly, you will see the v4.8 in BIOS settings.

• 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.

  Best regards

• 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

• Qosmio F50 issues after update Bios 1.50

  Hello

  I have updated Bios version 1.50.
  I work with audio software and I noticed the performance issue (about 15%-20% performance reduction!).
  Operational front is also strange.

  Now, I can not turn off the lights or start Media center or something else.

  How can I downgrade the Bios Version 1.30?
  Winphlash doesn't let me do that.

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  May not be the answer you are looking for, but have you tried to do a restore of the software? Remember to back up everything!

• 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:

  "Satellite 2410 414, Satellite 1410, Satellite 1410 - 654S, Satellite 1410 814, Satellite 2410-303, Satellite 2410-304 s, Satellite 1410 354, 2410-601 Satellite, Satellite 1410-401, {color: #ff0000} * Satellite 1410 604 * {color}, Satellite 2410-404, Satellite 1410-301, Satellite 1410-304, Satellite 2410 S403, Satellite Pro 2100, Satellite 1410 S203, Satellite 2410-304, Satellite 1410 554, Satellite 1410 S102, Satellite 1410 - 354F, Satellite 2410 703, Satellite 1410-303, Satellite 2410 - S203, Satellite 1410-801, Satellite 2410 603, Satellite 1410-902.

  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-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:

  * {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

• Satellite Pro L300D PSLC9E - failed to update BIOS

  Hi all

  I got a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300D Windows Vista Business, this isn't that four months, recently, he began to break up and whenever he did, I got a message to upgrade the BIOS.
  So I went to the Toshiba Site and I downloaded an updated BIOS yesterday and installed even today, during installation the PC frooze.
  I left it on and it stayed like that for four hours, then it turns off.

  Now, when I turn it on all that I get is the fan turns to nothing else.
  The powerleader was connected to the laptop all the time.

  Do you have any ideas on what I can do, I have heaps on the laptop I would not loose.

  Model is PSLC9E Satellite Pro L300D

  The case is clear buddy update the BIOS has no procedure
  Perhaps the BIOS might not be updated correctly because the laptop crashed until the update procedure could be completed.

  Well, I can tell you that you will not be able to fix it yourself it's a serious issue and ONLY the ASP (certified partner) would be able to help you!

  So contact the ASP technician and ask for later handling.

  Good luck

• Tecra A9 - 11i: update Bios problem and AHCI works not

  Hello

  I have trouble to update BIOS for a Toshiba Tecra laptop A9 - 11i, (with the last update of the official European website of toshiba); After running the bios (version 3.2.8) Launcher
  "I get the message" this computer is not supported "? The latest version of the bios installed is 1.5, date 05/07/2007

  also if I can add a few questions:
  the function keys tdlo can't seem to work;
  led for the "FN" key light turns on when the key so assume the FN key works, but there is no response when you press on the "FN" key and one of the number keys on the f - I installed the software of the control unit as have been advised but this has not resolved.

  I also have difficulty accessing the AHCi ' mode to work in Windows XP Pro SP3. I chipset intel 965 m + ICH8M, the Intel ICH8M serial ata storage controller-2828 present in the Device Manager - the matrix storage manager does not work so I copied the file iastor.sys from the folder Manager matrix in C:/Windows/Driver/system32 and changed the registry as read elsewhere on the forum but have had no joy.

  any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much.

  This error message appears if you want to update a BIOS that is not compatible with your model of laptop.
  Toshiba pilot European page provides the BIOS 2.10Win for this model of laptop.
  If you have used certainly bad BIOS.

  > There is no response when you press on the "FN" key and one of the number keys f
  Controls of common modules the FN keys.
  If the issue should be resolved install common Modules v 6.06.00, 4.30.15 utilities
  Notes; You need to press FN + 1, 2, 3 etc. DON T press FN + F1 etc.

  First be sure that the AHCI is enabled in the BIOS.
  In addition, the Intel Storage Manager controls the AHCI so you should integrate the AHCI driver to CD Win XP as described here:

• Satellite P300D-h-13: Bluetooth no longer works after update BIOS 3.30

  I have a huge problem with my bluetooth module integrated on Toshiba P300D-h-13.
  It worked great until I have not flashed Bios to version 3.30.

  Now, I do not see my module and when I start battery bluetooth, it says that I should plug my camera.

  Plese help me or give me a link to older firmwares bios?

  You define the default BIOS after the update?
  Isn't it? Then do it.

  Have you tried to activate the Bluetooth using the function keys after the update of the BIOS?

  PS: don't think that its probably the Office BIOS issue is related to the other grounds
  What system do you use?

• A11 update BIOS for Inspiron 7520.

  I found the BIOS update for my Inspiron 15R SE 7520 on these pages.

  1 http://goo.gl/dQ74hv

  2 http://goo.gl/pfQBnn

  I use Windows 8.1 (originally system was preloaded with Win 8) which is originally a few small problems as the notification touchpad light (turn on or off the light-small orange LED) is does not, airplane mode has several entries like when you press Fn + F2, airplane mode is on but system shows that it is disabled.

  Is that these problems is resolved in this BIOS?

  Is it safe to upgrade to A11 or is this some sort of BIOS beta?

  Please also may I know the all issues resolved in this update BIOS?

  Thank you.

  I won't hijack your post, but I've been struggling with this laptop and its capabilities. "" dealing with mainly the ATI graphics card.

  I came across another post, who directed me to your question. "' Google '.

  I also found the bios A11 on the website of dell, but when I search or you enter my tag, it only shows the bios update A10.-c' is the bios A11, not recommended? Why do you think that his is no longer available when you select or enter serial number?

  http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/product/Inspiron-15R-se-7520?driverId=XM6VN

  I wonder if you happen to have used the A11? Did you notice a difference? I noticed, that it is said

  (((Reinforced ATI VBIOS for new Samsung VRAM.)))

  Or maybe someone reads this, was lucky enough to use the bios A11?

  Your help would be greatly appreciated.

• 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.

  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! ;)
