OptiPlex 160 BIOS updates not (because the fan is missing?)

Hello

I just had a 160 of Optiplex opportunity (model DC01T) with BIOS A06 and have tried everything so he could update BIOS A10, A09, A08 or A07.

I downloaded the BIOS in DOS/Windows unified and put it on a key USB of FreeDOS.  When I run the package, it runs through everything and then restarts, but never actually updates the BIOS.  I tried to install Linux on a USB Flash drive, install the Dell OMSA tools and use dellBiosUpdate pointing to the A09. HDR file.

For some reason any that also fails because the module dell_rbu does not ' / sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu / ' as it should.  No amount of copy 'init' to ' / sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type "also helps to correct this problem.

The only thing I can think is that when the system restarts it goes to a "Fan Alert!" message because this unit didn't come with the fan & HD support.  I have one on its way, but if this warning/error is clearing the BIOS update flag then everything should work once the fan comes and I get that connected.

If this is not the case is there anything else I should try?

I finally got figured out if anyone is interested.  The fan error could be the cause of the normal update to fail, but by using a bunch of switches, you can force the update to install, and then restart.

  • Satellite Pro L40: Bios update not necessary - no settings for RAM in Bios 1.90

    Hi, I just bought a Satellite Pro L40 laptop and im trying to figure out why the bios has no parameter memory.
    If I look at the ram using a tool of information system (cpuz or aida320), it shows she doesn't move at the speed of 667 mhz but at 533 mhz.

    As you can see from this screenshot the memory runs at the real speed is less than the maximum that the sticks have a rated power.

    http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/4580/cpuz1pj5.jpg

    Its running at 266 mhz (533 mhz ddr) where it should be run at 333 mhz (667 mhz ddr).

    I also noticed that with this laptop fan never seems to come, is it possible to mount the fan?
    Whenever I have the laptop for more than 30 minutes, it becomes very hot.

    Hello

    > if I look at the ram using a tool of information system (cpuz or aida320) it shows that it does not run at the speed of 667 mhz but at 533 mhz.

    What is your FSB?
    If the laptop was equipped with memory PC2-5300 modules then they could run at 667 MHz, but only if the FSB would supports 667 MHz! I think is supported by the FSB of 533 Mhz.
    So I can't say it s nothing wrong!

    > I just bought a Satellite Pro L40 laptop and im trying to figure out why the bios has no parameter memory.
    Why do you think a BIOS update would turn the memory settings in the BIOS?
    Please don t mix of desktop computers laptops! Laptops cannot be overclocked.
    BIOS of laptop computers is not the same thing as a desktop PC BIOS!

    > I also noticed that with this computer laptop fan never seems to come, is there a way to turn the fan to the top? Whenever I have the laptop for more than 30 minutes, it becomes very hot.
    Have you noticed all automatically turn off downs or any other strange behaviors laptop as freezing OS for example?
    If it is then that the laptop runs correctly and doesn't overheat.

  • BIOS does not see the hard drive

    For my Presario 6620DK, I bought a Western Digital 160 GB PATA HARD drive, which I want to install instead of the original Samsung SV0602H 60 GB ATA-100.

    Unfortunately, bios does not see the new HD. If I'm on the old hard drive, it is recognized by the bios.

    I have the jumper in the right position for Cable Select.

    What do I have to get new HD work?

    Hi, Arne:

    There is the outside possiblilty of the drive is bad.

    You have another PC, you can test it in?

    You have a 120 GB of HARD drive, you can test in the PC?

    If she sees the 120 GB HARD drive and not 160 GB HARD drive, then you have your answer.

  • Satellite A30-514: BIOS is not recognizing the CD/DVD or HARD drive

    Hi I'm having a little trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A30 friends. The hard drive died recently, and the cd tray was damaged.
    I found an exact replacement unit and we have a new hard drive, but the Bios is not recognizing the hard drive or Cd/DVD unit.

    I installed Windows Me via my own laptop and boot from the hard drive of the computer's hard disk, but it still does not recognize the DVD even if Windows does, and it is fully operational.

    This prevents me to install windows XP, the operating system it is. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged, too, I flashed the bios with V1.80.

    Hello

    It is the first time I heard about this issue. The Bios doesn't recognize the drive but Windows is possible use it t.
    Why suggest that peut t BIOS recognizes the drive? Is it not possible to boot from the drive?
    Check if the IDE controller is enabled and the Boot section. The CD/DVD drive should be selected and activated.

    Does anyone no what I can do?
    Is it possible to restore the BIOS?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

    Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
    If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

    Please provide more info. You see error messages?

  • HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

  • Error: "the patch cannot be installed by the Setup program because the program is missing" during installation and Service Pack 2 for Corel Draw X 3.

    original title: corel draw X 3 need a file to upgrade to work and will not install Windows install. I am running XP

    Windows Installer won't install Corel Draw X 3 patch for Corel SP1 and SP2.  Corel X 3 was released at the end of the 1980s, well before updates from Microsofts SP.

    These files are patches for the X 3 program and have nothing to do with Microsoft SP 1, 2 and 3.

    The error that gives the installer of windows, is that the patch cannot be installed by the installer, because the program is missing (which is not the case) or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program, (which he did... this fix is designed especially for the X 3 only and is in fact the upgrade for him.)

    It says to check that I have the program on my computer and I have the appropriate fix. (What I'm doing.)
    NOTE:
    Last week I had to remove Corel X 3 from my computer and re-install. After that, I couldn't get the patch installed, and it needs those 2 patches to work properly.

    I am running XP Pro with MS Service pack 3 on my computer.  I have Intel pentium 4, 2944 usable Mg 300Ghz installed memory 266,80 GB of free space on 2 hard drives.

    Another site said a faulty windows installer can cause "out of memory" errors and has spent in Corel Draw so I deleted and reinstalled as I've mentioned above. Any ideas on how to get this installed?  Hope you can help, I don't know where to turn to the next if not. Corel does not support this program because of his age. I can't afford to update at the moment so I have a problem here. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

    Been away in a few days. Just in case anyone else has this problem, I found the answer. It's one of those moments DUHHH.

    If you use the version of Corel Draw X 3 13.0.0.739, there already = sp1 and sp2 patches and pre-installed horfix.

    Should check that the first step, but I thank you

  • Computer HP laptop windows didn't load because the HAL is missing or corrupt

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6605us

    Windows Vista

    Error message I get is:

    File: \Windows\System32\hal.dll

    Status: 0xc000000f

    Info: Windows could not load because the HAL is missing or corrupt

    The changes that I do is I did a clean install of Linux deleting all partitions including the HP recovery partition.

    Now that I have to go back to Windows, I used the recovery disks that I did when I bought the laptop. It took about 24 hours to completely install, then I got this error message when you restart.

    Help, please

    Best thing to do is to nuke the drive,then reinstall Vista again.

    I know it's a long process, but you should get back to run.

    Linux makes strange recovery partitions does not understand and they are deleted correctly, boot and nuke will take care of it.

  • Cannot be used on Windows 7 Sony bluetooth headset because the driver is missing.

    Original title: Question about bluetooth drivers

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Sony bluetooth headset on my Macbook bootcamp Win 7.

    My helmet model is MDR-10RBT. My Win 7 detected the headset in the bluetooth device section, but I can't use it because the driver is missing. (There is an exclamation mark in the bottom left of the icon) The headset works fine when I start the o/s under OSX tho. I have already installed to the disk of bootcamp, nothing helps.

    http://store.Sony.com/premium-Bluetooth-wireless-headphones-zid27-MDR10RBT/cat-27-CATID-all-headphones-earbuds

    I went here and it seems that there is no driver. I sent them an email and support confirms there is that no driver is not providing them.

    ----------

    Please note that pilots must be pre installed in your Microsoft windows 7 OS. If your machine is not with the drivers, that we invite you to contact Microsoft because they are not available for download from Sony.

    ----------

    How can I download the drivers for Windows? I don't know how to start.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had the same problem, but I solved the problem thanks to HP, because I have their laptops for business.

    Their bluetooth device driver was not active and up-to-date.

    As expected, it was Found HP. supported drivers for my particular model and the version of windows on the HP website and found the latest driver for bluetooth device. I had the version dated May 2015, and my headphones worked great after that.

    In your case, you will have to hit Apple door my friend.

    The problem of its material for sure. Please contact the service exceptional customer called Apple.

    After that all Macs have never no problem, you paid the higher price for it. : Pei

    - And thank you

    Kind regards
    Pedro Marthon

    Hello PedroMarthon.

    Are you currently overclocking the graphics card?

    In order to solve this problem, I think you should uninstall third-party drivers and use the official drivers for Windows 7 and the workaround posted by my peers.  The reason I suggest, is that the use of third-party drivers could cause strange problems and it will be easier to solve the problem.

    What I would say is remove the third-party drivers and then using the method posted in my response above.  Once the process is complete, I would try and then update the BIOS again.  If successful, you can remove Windows 7 drivers and again use your third-party drivers.  However, I'm not against the use of third-party drivers.

    I appreciated the way in which you have been given to work with me, so I went to come your messages of congratulations.  If you think that I was helpful please click the White Star under my name to give my messages of congratulations.  I would really appreciate it!

    I will keep an eye out for your next answer.  I wish you a nice day!

  • Inspiron 5749: BIOS update fails with the error 'Dell id does not match ".

    Hello

    I'm trying to update the BIOS of the Laptop Inspiron 5749. I downloaded the update file 3443A 07. EXE from Dell support website, where the update is supposed to be compatible with my system:

    -Dell Inspiron 3443/3543/5749 system BIOS;

    -Version A07.

    -Pull out the date 18 November 2015.

    I tried to install the update by using the utility to update the BIOS available in the start menu (after pressing F12). The update failed with the error message "Dell id does not match" or similar.

    Running the update of the session Windows don't seem to have any effect either.

    It seems that the update is only compatible with Inspiron 3443.

    Where can I get the update of the correct BIOS for my laptop? Any help is appreciated.

    The problem has been resolved by a motherboard replacement. Thank you.
