• Portege M400 - update Bios 3.8 installation (Vista)

  Hello.

  I just installed a new hard drive and VISTA (lack the Toshiba HDD Recovery section - still don't know don't know how to do)

  In any case, I managed to successfully install VISTA. (Trick was to install Raid divers in the installation process)

  UPDATE THE BIOS
  Current BIOS 1.6

  I want to update my BIOS to version 3.80 (Latest)
  I downloaded the BIOS 3.80 files BUT it does not load.

  1. I don't have a floppy drive :(

  (2 I tried burinng a CD ISO) Bot I couldn't get it from the CD (I have a Toshiba CD Extenal Drive and do not know if it can boot from CD)

  3. I tried to run the launcher and install via Windows BUT received an error message 'NOT' supported on THIS COMPUTER

  I think that the pitcher can only run in XP not vista.

  Are there steps miss me... What I have to do an incremental update of BIOS and how can I install it without floppy or CD-Rom Bootable drive?

  > 1. I don't have a floppy drive
  You n t need a floppy drive because the BIOS Toshiba focuses on the victory of BIOS and not traditional BIOS and this means that you must run the update of the BIOS while the OS is running.

  > . I tried to burn a CD from the ISO), but I couldn't get it from the CD (I only have a CD external Toshiba drive and do not know if it can boot from the CD)
  As mentioned above this BIOS update may be run during execution OS! It s BIOS based on the victory!

  > 3. I tried to run the launcher and install via Windows BUT received an error message 'NOT' supported on THIS COMPUTER
  You have selected an update of the BIOS that supports this laptop or you need to run this update by using the Windows OS pre-installed Toshiba.

  > What I have to do an incremental update of BIOS and how to install without floppy or CD-Rom Bootable drive?
  Not possible-> see point 1 and 2

  When I try to do it (directly with the updated BIOS or via the TOSHIBA Service Station) I got the following error message:
  Error: Preparation of updated failed
  You have not given permission to run the update.

• Portege R830 - updates BIOS and USB 3

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Portege R830, business management Windows 7 (SP1) 32-bit (for work).
  I also start Linux Mint 14 64-bit, that I installed it on a portable USB HDD (non-professional).

  I recently bought a 3 USB HARD drive, but when I connect it to the USB 3 port on my R830, it gives me only USB 2 speeds (25 MB/s).

  I checked with some diagnostic utilities (usbdeview, etc.), who say that the drive is connected in USB 2.1 mode.

  The drive reports itself as being 3 USB, cable is USB 3 (SuperSpeed) and the port that I use on the R830 is 3.

  I feel the same way, if I boot on windows or linux.

  I've updated all the drivers on the two operating systems, does not.

  then I tried to update the BIOS, but I get the following error:
  "An error occurred during the preparation of the updated environment.
  You have not given the permission to execute the update".

  For the record, it's the BIOS I'm leaving, & to.
  BIOS version: Current Ver.2.80--> updated Ver.4.10
  THIS Version: Current Ver.1.10--> update Ver.1.60

  Does anyone know why I wouldn't get USB 3 speed (which, for my drive, are expected to be around 40-50 MB/s), or why all the diagnostics say USB 2?

  Does anyone know how to overcome the problem of updating the BIOS?
  (I tried in safe mode, disable AV, disabling NX)

  See you soon

  This USB driver is installed?

  Please try to install it and check again speed USB.

  Hello

  I m not very good if the update of the BIOS might help you what it s a battery problem
  Have you noticed this problem on the first day of purchase?
  I mean if this issue was not present the same using BIOS in the past, then it wouldn't be a matter of BIOS but material, possibly a battery

  I think that the battery needs to be checked.

• Portege M800 - update BIOS stucks - Windows 7 32 bit

  Hello world!

  I have a problem.
  I downloaded the update to the BIOS of Toshiba Hompage.

  The update started successfully, but the point of "BIOS News Flash ' to 'treatment block 26 of the 33"the stucks updated!
  I'm waiting for almost 2 hours, but nothing happens.
  My screen freezes, I can't move the cursor, the clock shows the time even... then nothing happens...

  Is this normal?
  I don't think, but it's my first update of the BIOS, so I'm not really familiar with it...

  Anyone have an idea?

  It would be great help!
  Thank you!

  Hello

  It's different not a common BIOS update process
  The update of the BIOS should not take much time.

  In your case it is possible that something was wrong during the flashing process and module ROM was not properly flashed.
  I think that you are in difficulty and in my opinion, only the ASP technician would be able to help you.

  The BIOS ROM must be flashed again using a crisis procedure and this can be done by a technician of the ASP.

• Portege M400: update XP to Vista causes the page fault in nonpaged area

  I spent several hours working through the Vista upgrade only. After a restart the process, I get a BSOD now reporting a page fault. Microsofts advice was to regularize the upgrade and then try again. Useful (or not) This resulted in the same second time around. The office is now closed for the weekend, probably because no one gets questions Friday night / on weekends?

  There is a KB on support.microsoft.com (kb 939720) which refers to a similar problem and a fix, but you can not download it - you must call. All other users Portege had the same problem and how they have solved their?

  Hello

  just a quick question: have you already installed the BIOS compatible Vista on your computer? It s one of the most important steps before installing the 'wonderful' on your drive Vista hard (I don't understand why you need but it s OK your machine... ;))

  If it isn't already, go to the website of Toshiba Driver download and download the latest BIOS for machine (Vista compatible) which is absolutely essential if you decided to put Windows Vista on your computer.

  Here´s the link:

  Would appreciate any comments about your situation.

• Portege M400 - does not start after a BIOS update

  IHH

  Please help me with my portege M400, I installed a new localized version of Windows XP, then I started to download the drivers from the Toshiba Web site, and the first thing I did was to install the new BIOS update. I don't know what version it was. Then he asked me to restart, after I did the reboot of the device unbootable and I see only an orange flashing :(

  Please how can I reset my old BIOS? Is this the end of my Toshiba?
  I am now in a forign country and there are noToshiba service center near me

  Please is there any similarly to help me

  Hello!

  I think that in this case you must go to an ASP. I put t see another solution for this problem because I think the ROM module has to be reflashed or the card mother completely must be replaced.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported downloads & => find an authorized service provider

  And if you don t find an ASP in your country please contact an ASP in another country. I'm sure they will try to help you.

  Good bye

• Portege M400. Update BIOS 1.8 V

  Did someone tried this new update?
  I was put off by the wording of the disclaimer.
  It seems that in order to reduce the continuous fan use the price to pay will be a hot computer.
  Which will affect the life expectancy of computer?
  Also, as is an update of "stand alone", is it possible to undo changes and revert to a previous version if necessary?
  Finally, the increase of heat on the base of the unit going to do uncomfortable to work with in the form of tablets?
  Thanks for the feedback.

  Hello

  I found the news that Toshiba has designed a new BIOS update special V1.80W with improved noise in "idle" mode and low CPU load mode. This should help and the Portege M400 will run very quietly. It is possible that the low FAN speed will result in higher temperatures on the palpable user as palm rest or base of coverage. It will probably be a few degrees Celsius, but nothing serious.

• BIOS update solved the Portege M400 fan noise

  The new version of BIOS (1.8) for Portege M400 solves the problem of fan noise. The Readme.txt explains that the temperature will rise only in three degrees. Very important, very recommended patch for users of M400.

  Now I can use my tablet in my business meetings without having to give explanations to customers of the fan noise.

  Greetings.

  Hello Jose

  It is very nice to hear that you are happy now. I read your previous assignments and I can understand you this annoying issue with cooling fan, but now you can see this laptop manufacturer is trying to make the product better, even if the product is on the market.

  I am also certain that customer s comments can help identify the problem if persist und after this systematic search for the solution or change for the better.

• Portege M400 and 3.60 BIOS

  Ubuntu Linux running on the M400 and it seems that almost all BIOS version 3.60 prerequisite are broken because there are errors of the quirk on the CPU APIC. Perhaps Microsoft could circumvent the APIC tables broken for awhile but things with Linux is a bit bulky. Microsoft asked to Toshiba for a BIOS update to address these issues and it seems to be fixed from 3.50.

  See here

  Even under Linux not more APIC errors appear. :-) But after the update from 3.60 BIOS splash screen remains active and keeps me to select an option for a boot (grub) multi entry. If the OS is already from the start screen become white first, then gives finally control the operating system. Others see this as well?

  I am able to select something in my Start menu, but it is more guess the start screen is always at the top. Very annoying it :-(

  Another issue I have is that sometimes the system freezes for a few seconds and then continues, nothing to see in the logs when you use a Tablet Ubuntu or Windows XP Home edition. So might be a bug in the BIOS once more. Yet once you are looking for confirmation, other know about this as well.

  Reflash 3.60 a couple of times, but seeing this behavior over and over again.

  Although it seems to be some control fan in 3.60. He does not like a DC9 aircraft, but were still not silent like the 1.80W or the 2.10N of BIOS versions. Nice to see these fan noise changes incorporated in 3.60 and later

  Hi Robert

  I know you hate me, but the fact is that Portege M400 has sticker next to the keyboard and it says something like designed for Microsoft. With short words: Linux OS is not supported.

  If you need help with Linux on Toshiba laptops please check http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/index.html

  Question about freezing is very strange and if you want to check properly install recovery without additional software image. In this case you will have factory settings and clean the preinstalled operating system. If you notice some outstanding questions, you must contact authorized service partner and clarify this point.

  Good luck!

• Problems of subsequent update on Portege M400 and W7

  I did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my Portege M400 and it looks particularly pretty good.

  However, I do not have a utility to map the buttons (including the one that indicates the landscape/portrait orientation has changed). Who would be on the Toshiba Software Installer for Windows 7 (tsi4win7.exe)? Attempt to run that flashes a dialog box before displaying a second dialog box saying "this device is not manufactured by Toshiba or the BIOS is not Windows 7 compatible. No update will take place."

  I check that the BIOS was not serious for WIndows 7 before making the instalation. Trying to apply the latest version of the BIOS gives an error message "[error] BIOS update is not supported. No support for operating system or service pack is installed. »

  Can anyone help?

  As much I know Portege M400 only is not supported for Win7. If you can not find drivers and tools specific to Toshiba for this model of laptop.
  I'm sorry.

  The only thing you can try is to install stuff for other models supported, in the hope, it works well.
