• Portege R700 - BIOS-update 2.20 - WIN does not work

  I have a Portege R700-172-PT311E-03201KGR
  It's a WIN 7 64 bit Machine.

  Current BIOS 1.70
  EC-current Version: 1.40

  For this machine, an update of the BIOS and IT's there.
  So I downloaded the "BIOS220_EC160.exe" update and tried to treat.

  The first message during the update process is: "it is necessary to update the BIOS and THIS.
  When I continue with "Run the update", I get the error message:
  "Error: preparation of updated failed.
  Given the image file is not compatible with this cimputer.

  There is no change in the material of the machine. The only problem I see is that we use McAfee Endpoint Encryption (V6.0.2.6) that could have some influence on the update of the BIOS.

  But I'm not sure.
  Does anyone have an ideas?

  Hello

  BIOS update is important to you?
  Do you have problems with the laptop?

  I have portable three-year-old BIOS was did not updated

  However, AFAIK the VAP (value added package) must be to get the updated BIOS updated. Also the firewalls and other security and antivirus preinstalled on the system software must be disabled before attempting to update the BIOS.

• Re: Portege R500 - Bios Update Setup hangs

  I have problems with my R500, so I would update the BIOS of thought.

  I went to download bios - 200803250781.zip

  It contains the P0058v160.exe file

  From that process leads to:

  "install2 has encountered a problem and needs to close."

  Should these BIOS be installed gradually? My r500 is early and running v1.00.

  Sorry

  Hello

  If you want to update the BIOS, then you need to download the BIOS package and must first uncompress it.
  Then run the exe file in the folder.

  I don't know why the error message, but please make sure that the common Modules are installed on your system of m.

  If the error will still persists then this might be a problem with the installed Windows operating system, and not with the BIOS software.

• Re: Portege Z30 - A - Bios update 3, 80-WIN using Win 7 64 bit

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Portege Z30 - A
  Maybe someone was able to perform the bios upgrade in windows 7 64 bit?

  @tomek_1

  May I ask if you get an error message trying to update the BIOS?
  The downloaded BIOS package contains the exe to 3, 80 - WIN_ECB1.40.
  It is also a zipped folder. You can unzip the file using WinRAR or WinZip software.

  After that, you will get 16 files. I found the AutoExec file that seems to be the file that starts the BIOS update procedure.

• Portege M200 BIOS update

  Hello
  I have a portege m200 and because he doesn't any device (floppy drive, dvd) top, I want to be able to boot from an sd card. For that I need the most recent BIOS version v1.70win, but to intall, it requires the common Module. I have instaled (there was no error, at least), but when I try to do the update, a message "lack the common module". So I'm a bit confused. I guess the best, think to do is erase any previous version of the common module and reintall it, but I have no ideea how I had to do.
  can someone give me clues, or maybe I'm on the wrong track.
  Thank you

• Portege M200 BIOS update running Windows 7?

  Hello

  I recently took a Portege M200 and installed (via PXE - network installation) Windows 7 above. I want to upgrade the BIOS as is always in the original BIOS (1.1). I downloaded and extracted the pkg and tried to install through Windows but it says that my OS is not supported. I don't have an external CD drive or floppy drive - how do I update the BIOS? I tried to put it on a USB key, but it doesn't seem to be an option to boot from USB.

  Thank you!
  Jerry

  > I downloaded and extracted the pkg and tried to install through Windows but it says that my OS is not supported. I don't have an external CD drive or floppy drive - how do I update the BIOS?

  Seems that BIOS cannot be updated because Win 7 is not officially supported on this good old classic.
  However, AFAIK the VAP (value added package) is required to run an update of the BIOS. So, try to install the VAP. Choose this tool which is available for other models of laptops.

  > Anyone know where I can find a driver for it? I do not see there are 2 devices not recognized - a 'Base system device' and an 'unknown device '...

  > This new victory of update 2.00 solve this problem?
  Question: Lighting of the keyboard work on the first day of purchase?

  If so, the question is not related to the BIOS.

  Second: the lighting can be turned on and off in the BIOS.
  Have you checked the settings there?

  Third: have you checked something in the software?
  Maybe reinstalling the VAP (value added package) would be useful
