• Satellite A60-173 disorder during the installation of the new bios

  I have a laptop A60-173 and it does not work well. I tried to update my bios to the latest version (which I downloaded from the Toshiba home site). But it took too long to write a new bios (1 hour), then I thought that the program is not responding and I did a stupid thing I turned off the power. Now, the dead laptop, no light, no thing happends on my computer when I turn it on. What should I do? I wonder if PCservice (of the store I bought my laptop) can help me to fix it.

  IM worried so fight it

  Hello

  Can you please tell me what was the reason for the update of the BIOS? Have you had problems with your laptop? Have you read update BIOS Toshiba Description before continuing?

  Like you said it was very stupid that you stopped the update of the BIOS. It is possible that you damaged the chip for the BIOS on the main map. Sorry, but the best solution is to contact the authorized Service partner and let them check it.

• Satellite P300 - stuttering with new BIOS and drivers for sound card

  I have Toshiba laptop Satellite P300 (PSPCCE) with Vista and the latest patches installed.
  Everything was working ok until I installed the last set of patches, has been the Tempro alert about them. I installed the new BIOS (3.40) and card drivers his (Conexant 4.83.1.0) and now all the minutes I see spike high CPU spike freezing enemy of system one or two seconds.

  I see in Process Explorer these spikes are caused by the system and that usually means drivers.
  Anyone else noticed something similar since the last update?

  BTW. There are 2 audio drivers to download site, 4.36.10.0 the 25.05.2009. but the file is named 20081201122001 sounds. ZIP and 4.83.1.0 as of the 07.05.2009. named sound - 20090507143928.zip but with a date more recent AI apparently from 2008.

  I think that you should use the most recent version and it s a v4.83.1.0. It seems that the v4.36.10.0 was published also, but in this case, it s always recommended to take a newer version.

  With regard to the system of freezing for a second or two:
  I think that this might be related to some background processes. Perhaps a process that runs in the context of the Vista operating system causes this tiny interruptions.

  Of my knowledge tool Tempro runs in the background and scans the system and HARD drive.
  You can check the processes in MSCONFIG and if necessary may disable some of the trials.

• Re: Satellite L - new BIOS so that BIOS password is set?

  Dear experts

  I have the password on the BIOS. Can I install the new bios and how can it if possible, and please teach me where I can download and how to boot and install

  Thank you.

  Hey,.

  Theoretically, it should work and if not just remove the BIOS password. So try it and send the comments if it worked or not.
  Your model of laptop would be interesting to know.

  But the question is why you want to update the BIOS? You have problems?

• Satellite L350-277 - update the new BIOS and Wifi pilot

  TEMPRO gave me 2 new drivers, but received instructions.

  BIOS setting has been an operation involving the driver of the copy on a disk and then to change to start with disk boot order.
  However, I think that the new BIOS drivers are installed with running Windows - like a normal program. Does anyone know for sure?

  I guess the wifi pilot is a normal installation, with the wifi on or off?

  Hello

  Just a question;
  Is an update of the driver WLan and BIOS update needed?
  I mean; you have problems with your laptop where these updates would be necessary?

  You should not update if everything is OK. in most cases the Tempro informs you about the drivers and tools that are uploaded on the page of the driver, but it is not a recommendation for an update, you know what I mean?

  I'm always this trick; never change a running system.

• New bios update (f.29) causes my computer overheating and close

• Impossible to install new BIOS A09 for Dell place Pro 7130

  Validated that I use the correct Bios... :-)

  Scenarios:

  Downloaded the new Bios and run, install rises and tells me it will be need for power, etc. and install works. Reboot the machine it always is on A06

  Since the Bios flash tool and installation runs very quickly and send back me to Windows 8 and is stil on A06

  What should do?

  Question side: is there something speciel set in the bios on the boot. Since I reset the default Bios (A06) I been bugged with problems of departure?

  I can verify that the solution posted by Stone3t worked for me (unplug the battery CMOS).  Too bad, that it requires disassembly of the rear housing which may be too advanced for the average user.

  I had all the symptoms / problems described by posts all on sites of Dell, as well as other: unable to update BIOS, unit will not sleep, etc. Corrupt ME was key. (Intel Management Engine Firmware)  Stupid thing is: he has been altered through updates of Dell.

  Calling the depot repair, or any other Dell support (and 5 + times transferred, pending on hold for hours) has been completely useless as they refused to help because my camera was "out of warranty" Although some had mentioned there was a recall on this issue.

  I am now updated to A15 and through all windows updates and everything seems to be working again.  No, thanks to the support of Dell who refuse to share the answer.

  I not buy all Dell Mobile devices in the near future.

• X 301 secure Erase with new BIOS

  Hello

  I went to an X 18 - M Intel SSD on my X 301 some time ago. I noticed that the new BIOS has been released with the Secure Erase feature some time ago. As I was going to rebuild my laptop today, I thought I would give it a go. It turns out that it was a mistake. The utility has failed on the Intel SSD, requiring a reboot after operating for six hours. After the reboot, it turns out that the utility took a hard disk the disk password (it wasn't one of front). Since I have no way of knowing what password it has set, I'm actually locked out of my drive and it's a brick for all purposes useful.

  Is anyone (Lenovo in particular) know what password is set during execution of the Secure Erase of the latest version of the BIOS feature? My only alternative is to know if there is a default master password from Intel. Since in principle, this should be empty, I think I'm scuppered unless someone in Lenovo can tell me what password they defined using the utility.

  Thanks in advance.

• Satellite M65: New Bios Update for Vista?

• Qosmio X 500 - NEW BIOS update - 1.90

  Found a new BIOS update 1.9 on the Australian from Toshiba Web site. This morning, it showed version 1.40, but now it says version 1.90. I'll try it on my 500 X when I go home tonight, see if that solves the Sleep-wake up question.

  Hey mate,

  That's really interesting. Thanks for sharing this information with us! :)

  But it seems that this update is only for the PQX33A series. For other series, we will have to wait a little longer I think
