• Need help updating Bios dc7800 Compact Mini Tower: ROM CAB missing or damaged

  I need help, updated the BIOS on my HP dc7800 CMT. I get this error message:

  System BIOS updte file (. C:\Users\f\Downloads\ROM CAB) is missing or damaged. THE system BIOS does not update.

  I tried to update using the sp53611.exe (8.0 MB) 1.32 Rev A(6 Dec 2011) HP Compaq Business Desktop system BIOS (BIOS 786F1)

  Which can be found here.

  http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?sp4ts.Oid=3459243 & swItemId = vc_97114_1 & swEnvOid = 4059

  The current version of my BIOS is: 786F1 v01.04 2007-07-18

  I am running Windows 7 64-bit Ultiate. I noticed on the page (linked above) software, it mentions most of the flavors of Windows 7 64-bit, but it does not mention Win 7 ULTIMATE 64-ditch.

  Here's what I did:

  (1) computer restarted in safe mode

  (2) connected as administrator

  (3) Task Manager began to ensure that all applications and most of the services have been arrested

  3 (a) as an additional precaustion, I even stopped Windows Defeneder

  (4) double clicked on sp53611.exe and let it install the software.

  (5) This opens a web page. I clicked on the link which was under the Bio update to a windows environment.

  (6) the process has started, but then I got the above error.

  Any ideas on what to do next?

  Is it possible that the BIOS cannot be updated because the software does not support windows 7 64 bit ULTIMATE?

  Thank you in advance. I have a new graphics card today (Radeon HD 6570 - who has been recommended by Mr. Paul Tikkanen, thank you), and I guess I should have my current BIOS a bit, no?

  Hello:

  There should be no need to update the BIOS, if everything is working properly.

  If you want to update the BIOS, you must use the built in Flash ROM of system menu in the BIOS.

  It is the safest and easiest way to Flash the BIOS.

  All you need is a USB stick formatted with the FAT 32 file system.

  Download the latest BIOS update, then run it.

  You should get a page of instructions.  On this page, you want the option F10 system flash rom and you should see a summary of BACK flash folder view.

  Copy all the files in this folder on your USB.

  Plug the drive into the usb port, restart the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the F10 key to access the BIOS.

  There will be a menu to System Flash ROM

  What to choose and it should see the BIOS update files on the usb flash drive.  Then follow the instructions on the screen to proceed to the update of the BIOS.

• I need to update BIOS on Satellite L750?

  Received the message of Tempro following earlier:
  This TEMPRO alert is to inform you of an update of the driver for your specific laptop model. This is based on the release date of the original software.
  This Bios update adds functionality to your system

  Download zip is version 2.70 and on the audit of the system, I have version 2.30 installed on 23/03/2011, even if only, I bought this laptop on the 18/04/2012

  Probably Tembro has identified some improvements that could be made in updating, but * I just can't find it "an increase in the feature" this update provides * and if I need it because I'm not aware of any problems. Everything works perfectly.
  Sorry to waffle on, but in short, should I upgrade or not?

  Any advice appreciated,
  See you soon,.
  Anthony

  N ° if everything works perfectly don't change anything.
  My advice to you is: remove tempro system and be happy. I'm two years old P500 with BIOS original and original pilots (own recovery image installation) and I always use it with the factory settings. It works perfectly.

  All the updates you need are updated Windows (updates) and updates of the antivirus application.

  No more than that.

• Defective spare battery - seller says I need to update BIOS - advice needed

  Any advice will be appreciated.

  I bought a spare online battery for my laptop. Since the replacement of the battery, the PC has increased its noise level (IE more often that otherwise seems overwork), so I did a "HP Battery Check" and the result States "one or several cells don't work properly. I contacted the seller, and they say I need to update my BIOS.

  I'm a little worried about it for several reasons:
  1. the software clearly indicates that the battery is not working properly.
  2. the computer and all other software works well.
  3. I have never played with before BIOS and after googling "update of the BIOS", almost all suggest "DO NOT go" unless: you know what you do / the problem is clearly a related problem of BIOS (HP State diagnostics is the battery... and shows no system other problems).

  I'm ok with the replacement of hard drives, RAM etc and treat fairly confident with most software and hardware problems, but I never tried to update a BIOS... and as I need my laptop (and all software running on this subject at the moment) and do not want to go through the stress of venturing into uncharted territory on a current PC - I'm more tempted to just buy another battery from a different company and put this to a bad experience online, as the seller does not simply want for refund or Exchange (as much as the cost of replacing the battery... still!... compared to the opening of a world of problems after trying to update a BIOS which seems to work very well anyway!).

  As I said, any advice would be really appreciated

  Thanks in advance

  James

  PS No. knew software or hardware has been installed since the replacement of the battery

  Details of the laptop: HP G70 111EA laptop, Intel Core Duo T5800 @ 2.00 GHz, 3 GB RAM, Vista Home Premium (32 bit).

  If the purchased battery has been specified in the appropriate type for your computer, I see no reason why a BIOS update would make a difference. More likely, the seller hope you will turn your computer into a brick by updating the BIOS, making it a moot issue bad battery.

  Before you start, I would do anything I can to put in place from an outside source if the battery is actually defective. If you do not know someone with a similar laptop, a computer store or from taking the battery might check what said you that your software. A bad cell in a battery is usually obvious by a voltage drop so that the battery either distributes the specified voltage or it is not.

  If the battery is really bad, they know you ship the battery to them (signature required) and then proceed to cancel any credit card (or other method of payment online product/service) charges. While online sales generally operate at profit margins very tight, which, in itself, does not not to honour a request for an exchange of the product. Stop payment on an item usually attracts attention.

• Satellite C660 - no Internet connection after updating BIOS

  I am a novice user and have a Satellite C660 under warranty that I don't use for surfing the net and Ebay so I hope I can explain my problem!

  Toshiba bulletin board said that the need to update BIOS, so I followed the instructions but since then I have no internet connection, and cannot restore the connection that I lost all help Toshiba Bulletin Board today lost and none of the programs to sort the problems work - e.g.set assistants etc. I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?

  Can someone tell me if it's a failure caused by the BIOS update or I would return laptop to John Lewis for repair? Thank you very much for reading this

  Hey Buddy,

  The default settings in the BIOS load after update? If this is not the case, go into the BIOS and load the default settings. You can enter the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows start and then press the F9 key to load defaults. Then save & exit the BIOS Setup.

  You can access the Internet now?
  You try to access the Internet with LAN or WLAN connection?

  Also check device manager if all devices are recognized correctly.

  > I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?
  You can create the Toshiba Recovery disk every time. Just launch the pre-installed Toshiba Recovery Media Creator and follow the instructions on the screen. You need just a few blank DVDs to create the discs. Disks contain a factory image of settings which can be restored each time and how many times you want to so with these disks, you are on the safe side ;)

• Qosmio F50 - after update BIOS Bluetooth does not work anymore

  I need to update BIOS and F50 v 2.20.

  After update Bluetooth stopped working. Bluetooth in the taskbar icon turned red and I couldn't use any bluetooth device. I got my comp. 3 times to factory State, nothing has changed. After that I uninstalled the bluetooth stack, when I re install the installation crashes and now there is no icon in the taskbar and no link in Control Panel.
  I've tried everything.

  Need some professional help. My computer is only 2 months old.
  I am very angry.

  There is a new version of battery available Bluetooth.
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/?page=download

  But before install you it I recommend to remove the old battery installation BT.
  After removing the battery of BT, reboot the laptop and follow the BT facility.

  Installation should finish correctly and then you can activate using the FN + F8 keys.

  Should work.

• Update the bios Tecra M2

  Hi I have an old Tecra M2 PTM20 and you need to update the Bios, have found the bios listed for the downloaded M2
  but when I try to run the update I get the message that this computer is not supported

  Post edited by: nickj

  Hello

  If you are sure that you have chosen the right BIOS for this series of cell to 100%, the problem must be related to a missing Toshiba software that is needed to update the BIOS.

  As mentioned above; the common modules must be installed if you are using Win XP.
  VAP is necessary if you are using Win Vista or Win 7

  But as far as I know that the software Win 7 or Vista came out to this old series Tecra so, possibly, you can update the BIOS only ruin Win XP.

• Tecra M2 - updated BIOS is not supported

  Hello; I have a Tecra M2 I want to update BIOS.

  I downloaded it from the Toshiba site, specified for this model. But when I unzip in my book, there is a message that says "Bios Update v. 3.2.8. This computer is not supported. But my laptop is a 32-bit computer, and there is nothing strange about this... What is going on?

  I need a help. (It's only a simple update BIOS...)

  Thank you

  J.

  Hello

  The Bios Update v. 3.2.8 error message. This computer is not supported"might appear because the DMI information that contains the name of the laptop and other details of s notebook is wrong.
  In this case the DMI must be updated.

  The other reason why you are not able to update the BIOS, it is this tool called common Modules is not installed on your laptop.
  So install it and check if you can update the BIOS

  Last but not least, the reason could be the preinstalled OS, I hope you are using Win XP in order to update the BIOS

• 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:

  Have you looked to see if your motherboard has a BIOS update available?

  I have personally had updated the BIOS on my motherboard during the upgrade from my old i7 920 quad-core CPU for an i7 960 hexa-core CPU.  The motherboard wouldn't even POST after upgrading the CPU without BIOS flash first, it might be interesting to try.  It might be better to install the old CPU and make sure that everything is working normally before flashing the BIOS.

  I strongly recommend to back up important documents to an external storage device before you attempt this, since there is always a risk when you perform upgrades to your hardware.  In addition, please take care to follow the instructions exactly as directed.  You wouldn't want an as the result of this expensive paper weight...: o

• Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
  The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.

  A lot, I searched but found nothing.
  The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?

  THX in advance,
  John

  Hello

  First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
  Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?

  I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
  So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?

  By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)
