• 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: password of supervisor Portege R700 BIOS

  Hello

  I am the proud owner of a R700, at least so far.
  This morning, I would try to protect my laptop with a startup password.
  So I implemented a supervisor password and restarted my computer.
  It has two drawbacks:
  First of all, there is no password start not required and secondly if I push the F2 key to encode it startup, the computer will immediately restart...

  How can I enter the BIOS again and how to configure a start-up password?
  And, if possible, how to set up a password for fingerprints at boot time?

  Thank you very much
  Sébastien

  Hello

  Try pressing ESC then F1 to access the BIOS.
  There you can change or remove the password user and supervisor.

• Portege R700 - change order of remote start

  Hi all

  Is it possible to change a Toshiba Portege R700 BIOS remotely? -Specifically to change the boot order to a PXE boot (instead of HARD drive).

  I intend to deploy images on our laptops using SCCM 2007 but it takes a utility to change the BIOS settings. HP and Dell, both allow you to do so, as Toshiba?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey,.

  As I know that it is not possible to change the BIOS settings remotley s but what you can do is to use a Windows remote connection or another remote control based on Windows of the program and then use the preinstalled Toshiba HWsetup tool. Tool for configuring the BIOS, where you can change the boot order and other options based on this Windows s BIOS.

  It should work! :)

• 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 R700 - Sandforce SSD OCZ and Toshiba BIOS v1.9

  Hello

  It is a question to the Toshiba techy guys. Please can someone confirm compatibility with SSDS OCZ Vertex2 (Sandforce) with the Portege r700?

  Since I've updated the stock HARD drive I had problems with BIOS recognizing the SDS when you restart. If I boot the laptop from the cold, that is nice, DDI is recognized and everything is ok, the problem is intermittent. When requiring to restart the laptop to Windows 7 (64-bit), it hangs at the screen Toshiba Leading Innovation. It seems that the BIOS cannot detect the drive for some reason any and just freezes. I read the threads on the footprint software but am already run version v1.0.2.32 - so think it is independent.

  I've recently updated firmware OCZ Vertex2 to v1.32 hoping that it could solve the problem and there is not. The question might be more compatible with the Toshiba BIOS Sandforce.

  I am running the BIOS v1.9 - please can you guys do something to fix this?

  > That's obviously a problem with Sandforce
  Always is it that there are several different manufacturers of SSDS, and it might be possible that not all the parties meet the same standards.
  In this case, many manufacturers of SSDS provides updates of the firmware, but this isn't always the case so have to test other SSDS

  Hello

  Unfortunately, Toshiba driver European page simply provide new versions BISO.
  But I also found versions older BIOS on the page of the Toshiba driver we.

• Portege R700 - 18Q - not available wireless adapter

  Hello!

  We have a Portege R700 - 18Q, bought about 5-6 weeks ago. It has installed at the factory Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (Portuguese language), we installed some applications only, we need here and has been added to a domain of Ms. Nothing unusual.

  Everything worked fine until a week or so, when the wireless adapter has disappeared from Windows. When I mean disappeared, I want to say the only reference I find is in system information, sub components-> network-> adapter, it shows in the list as "Intel Centrino Advanced - N 6200 AGN", the adapter type is 'Not available' and the installed part said '' Yes. '' When I press Fn + F8, he talks not of WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G WAN.

  I have checked all the configuration and software for references to the adapter. It does not show in the Device Manager, even not with hidden power devices. When I opened the profile definitions in Toshiba ConfigFree, it shows that the wire is not available. When I went to add/remove programs, I can't find a refernce to a driver for this card. The LED near the trackpad is yellow.

  I'm not an expert in Windows but I've dealt with Windows for a long time and I've usually managed to any installation/configuration of repair material. It left me speechless. It is a last resort before you send the laptop for repair.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance.

  Cordially, Ricardo

  Hello

  Have you already tried to install the latest driver the official Portal of Toshiba WLAN WLAN?

• Portege R700: How turn off WLAN when the connection to the local network is available

  Hello

  I am the owner of Portege R700, with Windows 7 x 86.
  I want to find a way to disable WLAN automatically when I plug Ethernet.

  I tried to enable the following setting:

  "Device Manager", "Network Adaptaters", "Broadcom 802.11n", 'Advanced', 'Disable on cable connection' = enable. "

  But it does not work. Do you have another idea for me?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  I think that to do this automatically, you should not use certain software/tools for part 3.
  Looks like applications BridgeChecker or protective Wireless does this job very well.

  Check that a feedback would be appreciated.

• Portege R700 - slow DVD burning

  all of a sudden for some reason any CD/DVD burn on my new Portege R700 has almost ground to stop. It worked fine initially, but now won't have high peaks of 1 MB/sec... it is a REAL pain...

  The problem occurs with both the DVD player built-in and a USB connected drive that has worked well for years, so there must be a problem with o/s or H/S any. am about to update the BIOS but with no real hope

  I did some research on Google and things seem to point to the IDE controller issues. I took some advice and remove / reinstall the controller, but to no avail...

  someone else has the same problem - or, more importantly, a solution please?

  in some desparation

  Tim

  Hello

  not easy to say why it is burning so slow. have you tried burning with other discs and programs?

• Portege R700 - impossible to pass to Windows 10

  I have a Portege r700 with original Windows 7 OEM installation.

  Windows 7 is updated and program update Windows upgrade me to Windows 10 offer.

  The upgrade process begins very well, download & pre-configures all the stuff, and then finally ask me to reboot the system to continue with the upgrade.

  After a few seconds, the restart process is launched and load... the current Windows 7 system, saying that there was an error during the upgrade process.

  I did some tests; I'm also a fan of Linux, so I tried to boot the system with a LiveCD of my distributions preferred: after loading of the quick menu asking what I want to do (the liveCD boot, installation, diagnose, etc), it restarts... and show me again the quick menu (quick menu is GRUB, kernel functionality has not been loaded right now).

  I understand that 'something' (and I guess it's system restore Toshiba) let me start on something other than the original partition, preventing the upgrade of Windows 10.

  Any idea?

  I was offered the free update on my R700-12U and R930-1DK Toshibas--and did the updates without any problem. However, if I understand it right, the R700 is not on the list of evolutionary units, but it has worked very well on my own, from up-to-date W7.

• Portege R700-19 t - new RAM-> start is no longer

  Hello together,

  so I bought two new RAM sticks for my old laptop
  Toshiba Portege R700-19 t

  But since I installed them, the machine does not start in an operating system more.
  The installed Windows 7 64 bit goes to a black screen before the windows at Startup logo (even in safe mode). And after a few seconds, the fans will quickly but nothing seems to happen.

  The next thing I tried was a (12.04) ubuntu live dvd. But it does not either. No error message or anything, just an automatic restart after a few seconds of black screen.

  The next thing was memtest86 + v4.20:
  It crashes immediately sometimes a black screen and sometimes at this http://i.imgur.com/eJqIyDp.jpg .
  I tested my new two sticks together and alone, still the same problem. The old ones that work perfectly and not crash of memtest.

  In the BIOS is the only thing on the memory and then it sees the correct "Total memory size 8192 MB.
  
  Plug portable-mem from toshiba:

  • Standard: 4 (2 + 2) GB
  • Max Speicherausstattung: 8 GB
  • Technology: DDR3 RAM (1,066 MHz)

  Cannes-old (work) ram:
  2 x Samsung 2 GB 1Rx8 PC3 - 10600S - 09 - 10 - ZZZ M471B5773CHS - CH9

  2 x G.Skill 4 GB DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600)
  link to the shop where I bought it: https://www.alternate.de/G-Skill/SO-...roduct/1154622

  In my understanding of both new sticks should work well with my laptop, or am I missing something?

  concerning

  For me, the question is clear enough; the laptop does not start because of new RAM modules.

  The new RAM modules are not totally compatible, or the RAM modules are defective.

  I recommend you test an other modules; for example modules manufactured by Kingston.

• How to reset the sensor of fingerprint on Portege R700-174?

  Hello!

  my "problem":

  on my portege (r700-174), I run a win7 (which was preinstalled on your laptop), a victory for 8.1. and for some is true the technical preview of win10

  all systems are protected by password and fingerprints.

  also the win10-test system (for test prints digital-utility in win10)

  now, I deleted an old generation of win10 and do a new install with the latest version

  Unfortunately I forgort to cancel the registration of the fingerprint I had entered with this old win10 - so now this finger cannot be used
  to be entered for the new win10 (or any other system)

  My question

  is it possible to reset it completely (clear all the fingerprints for all systems) the fingerprintscanner out of one of my systems running or to cancel the registration of the
  Fingerprints for this system, which does not exist anymore on my portege?

  Thanks for the tips

  Kurt

  The fingerprints are stored on the fingerprint sensor and you will need to follow the instructions of this Toshiba document to remove your scans of fingerprints.
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/items/FAQ/386

  In the case that this procedure does not work, only the Toshiba certified maintainer would be able to erase fingerprints users digital related privacy information on the fingerprint sensor fingerprint flash.
