• Portege R100: Try to update the BIOS of 1.20 to 1.60

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba R100 and try to update the BIOS of 1.20 to 1.60. However, I just get 'different ROM version' when I run the update.

  The model number on the bottom is P2010 - this is slightly different from a R100? If Yes, where can I get a BIOS update?

  Thank you

• Portege M400: Could not update the BIOS after installing Vista

  Hello

  I have improved my M400 for Vista.

  I am trying to install all drivers Vista of Tosh. According to the instructions, the first thing to do is to update the bios.

  So, I download the bios (v3.60) on the site and run the .exe, but he tells me that I need the common modules.

  The only common modules that I can find on the Tosh site are for XP.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  Steve

  You will probably need to update the BIOS before installing Vista on the laptop.
  Then, you could install Vista again.

  Following message appears first

  BIOS and THIS should be updated

  During BIOS update seems following message:

  My settings:
  -BitLocker is turned off.
  -No connection to a docking station
  -Windows 7 is installed

  "Close all open programs, shut down windows and then turns off your computer."

  Any idea what is the problem?

  Hi ML

  Stupid question maybe now but why do you want to update the BIOS on this, I think, fairly new laptop model?
  Have you noticed a few issues or hardware issues?

• Portege R700 - cannot update the BIOS

  Hello
  I recently bought a Portege R700 19 M and I downloaded the latest BIOS version available in the Toshiba support page and when I run the .exe file, it does not work with this message: "the computer is not supported.
  And when I look in the HWSetup Toshiba tool, it does not display the BIOS version but some weird characters (letters not usual) so I can't find out which version is installed.
  Thank you for your help

  Hey Buddy,

  You update the BIOS to the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?
  Are you logged on as administrator when you try the update?

  To be honest I doubt a problem to update the BIOS because I found other threads where users report that BIOS update was successful.

• Portege R600 - cannot update the BIOS using Win server 2008

  Hi all.

  Pls help...

  I tried to update my bios to the new version, but I can't.

  I just downloaded bios update of the toshiba site for portage r600 for my model number (bios update 1.80 - winner), I unzip the zip, run the exe, but error popup came:

  Package for the TOSHIBA BIOS ver.3.2.9
  Unsupported product type is installed.
  Package BIOS BIOS Version: Ver.1.80
  Current BIOS version: Ver.1.40

  So my question is what am I doing wrong? I'm trying to update my bios from windows.

  is my version of windows: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64 SP1 (don't ask why, I just have to run Server 2008)

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Your OS windows seems not to be the Windows which was preinstalled on your Portege
  You cannot update the BIOS by using the windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64

  You will need to put the system which has been pre-installed by Toshiba

  Good bye

• Update the BIOS on a Portege 3490

  Hello

  I recently bought two used portege 3490CT portable, both with BIOS version 1.60. I tried to upgrade to Version 1.90 with a USB-floppy drive, but it does not accept floppies. Theres no disk access when I press a key after the bios update message.

  Also booting from that floppy USB does not work. Is this a problem related to this specific USB floppy drive (it's a NEC)? Is there any other procedure updating the BIOS?

  Thank you!
  Thomas

  Hello Thomas

  I don't know, but I guess that your device has no legacy USB support and, as far as I know, you can do it by using original Toshiba FDD. Check your BIOS settings please.

  I'm sure that you will not be able to do the BIOS update using your floppy drive.

  Good bye

• I updated the BIOS on my dx2250, now NLTDR is missing

  I updated the BIOS on HP Compaq dx2250 my wife and then received "NLTDR is missing" press CTR, ALT, delete.  The machine has XP Professional as the operating system.

  I used the Windows configuration Option 'R' for copy NLTDR and NTdetect.com by HP help site.  It did not work.  I ran the disk supplied with the machine to see it finds errors and everything was fine.

  Thanks for the reply!

  I went on another avenue.  Seemed like everything was in good shape as I run diagnostics, might start with a Windows disk in the optical drive.  I felt that most target rich environment was the BIOS, which was the most recent change.  Saw a post somewhere else, which suggests that the new BIOS on his machine was not to find the Windows directory.

  I went into the Setup program, changed around such as the BIOS startup sequence and Windows were aligned.  It works now and I cycled many times I took off to try to expedite the departure upward.  Enough for one day, my wife can use his computer and on another slow start Saturday, I will hunt down updates the driver, programs etc.

  Thanks again

• Problems after updating the BIOS on Satellite Pro P200

  I recently buy a Satellite Pro P200 running Windows Vista Business. Yesterday, I updated the BIOS to the version 1.50 supplied with the machine to 1.80 available on the Toshiba site. I double checked that I was using BIOS correct update for the Pro P200 Satellitel running Vista.

  After updating the BIOS, I have now two problems:

  1. whenever I start and join the office, I get an error message "record of Vista has stopped working". This problem has been identified as toshibavistaregistration.exe here: [link: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=99805]

  2 Control Panel > system now shows the processor and the memory (RAM) as "not available". Execution of the diagnostic PC Toshoba tool and looking at basic information show also no information on the memory (RAM) Although the processor information here. There may be pieces others missing too under the eyes of list shorter than before the update of the BIOS.

  Basically, I want to get everything working again as it should, but cannot find any information on these issues.

  After further review, it appears that the update of the BIOS is not the cause of the problems.

  Immediately after updating the BIOS, I had a major system crash. It turns out that this is what has caused problems.

  After a system restore to a point before the update of the BIOS and the major system crash, now everything is working again with BIOS version 1.8 in place.

• Update the BIOS on a Tecra M5 - 386 when the battery is not recogised.

  My battery is not seen by my Tecra M5, but still fresh and feeds the laptop, I found info that offers as well as an upgrade of the BIOS might help, but the software update me gives an error message "[error] AC adapter is not connected, or battery power is not enough." How can I update the BIOS by bypassing the software security device? Told me on another forum that execution of the update .exe with /forceit BIOS in the CMD window that did not work. Can anyone help please.

  In most cases, the update of the BIOS does not solve battery problems
  Maybe the battery starts to malfunction because of age.

  I would recommend replacing the battery first!

  By the way; I guess the while the update of the BIOS error because of the software required missing; If you are using Win XP, then you must install page European driver of Toshiba common Modules. If you are using Windows 7 you must install VAP (value added package)

• 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

  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.

• Qosmio G30 PQG31E - no driver XP 32? Cannot update the BIOS?

  As usual, obtained a computer laptop, but no recovery CD :(

  Got 32 installed XP (my Microsoft contract does not MCE) but a lot of missing drivers. Driver Toshiba page has all the drivers for XP MCE, XP 32 has only BIOS update, Bluetooth, HD - DVD firmwares, the virtual sound and drivers WI - FI!

  So I tought "Vista on this issue", but I checked the compatibility XP with Vista DVD I got a 'need to update the BIOS' (always a 1.40-2006/03/10)!
  My problem is that BIOS update always returns "this computer is not supported! Laptop has only one account, this isn't permissions problem, perhaps because many drivers are not present? Can I update the BIOS in safe mode?

  What now? Am stuck with a brick of Qosmio? Without controllers LAN to say the least, I can't not fact! Drivers XP MCE does work on XP 32?

  Any thoughts?

  Hello

  I found all the Win XP drivers for Qosmio G30 PQG31E!
  On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the Win XP MCE drivers
  XP MCE drivers are the same drivers for Win XP Home or Pro.

  There are also some BIOS 3, 90-WIN and this BIOS is operating system independent. In other words, it works with Win XP and Vista...

  To update the BIOS the common Module must be installed
  You can find also on the European driver Toshiba page!

  Please, someone tell me what is the problem with the update to v1.60 SP4220 BIOS? It does not start even do it according to instructions.

  I did the following:
  1 download/have unzipped the package v1.60 since the BIOS page on a non-bootable floppy disk empty
  2. put the floppy in the computer
  3. turn on the device with the F12 key

  With a floppy, I got the "non-system disk" error and another with a "EMBRL" error message missing. What is it, I'm not familiar with that one?

  Hello

  Can I ask why you want to update the BIOS?
  You have problems?
  If the laptop works well the update of the BIOS is not necessary! My laptop is about 6 years old and I have no day BIOS!

  However, I think that you didn't use the right update procedure.
  Please check this document before starting the BIOS update:

• Update the BIOS Lenovo G505s

  Hi all!

  I have really big problems with my laptop Lenovo G505s.

  (A8 - 4500M, 4 GB ram, 7640 G + 8570 M, windows 7 Professional)

  I have about 20 to 25 frames per second in every game when my charger is plugged.

  When I plug it on, I get around 80-90 FPS boost.

  I did research in many forum and allowed for some people that they have updated the BIOS.

  I tried to update the BIOS, I found it (v3.0), but for Windows 8 and 8.1.

  Is it compatible with Windows 7?

  Can I do the damage in my laptop if I install who?

  Help, please!

  Already installed, works very well with Windows 7.

  All FPS problems seems to be missing.
