• Satellite U300 - how to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?

  Attempt to update the BIOS of my U300-153, which is described as an operating system independent on the download page, I find that the upgrade file is provided in
  http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090304140640.zip
  does not include the files to create a bootable CD, as described in the instructions to the
  IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07
  where Option 2 step 2 lists the files that are in the zip, and they are required to make a bootable cd. The files listed are not in the zip.

  It forces me to use Windows. My Windows is broken and I can't fix it, because Windows repairs destroy data (clearly indicated on the packaging of recovery CD) and installations of Linux. My Linux works very well, and I don't want the windows more.

  So how can I upgrade the BIOS? Either:
  1. use a true independent bundle of BONES (ie the promised approach of bootable CD). I can't find such a thing here.
  2 reinstall Windows, which trashes the laptop.

  Any suggestions?

  Sincerely,

  Is not possible since the BIOS on Toshiba page is a victory-based BIOS version and if you want to update the BIOS then you need to install the Windows operating system and then you can run the exe file

• Satellite 2800-600 - how to upgrade the Bios/Firmware?

  How can I upgrade the Bios and firmware on my 2800-600? I want to install a new Combodrive. Which drives are supported? Where can I find the drivers and firmware etc... Please let me know. Thank you.

  Another point of view - I bought MS Windows XP Pro and haven´t you have a PC to install it on. Can I install this OS on my Satellite? Will it work? Where can I find the drivers for touchpoint etc etc... Normally, the Toshiba works with Windows ME and I can not use ITunes on ME... if XP would be great - what do you think?

  Hello Jürgen

  In my opinion, if you install the operating system on the unit you you use the recovery CD provided because it has been tested and it works without any problem. But if you want to install another system on your laptop, you can use the original Microsoft OS and all the necessary drivers, you can find the Toshiba site.

• Satellite A100-386 - how to upgrade the BIOS?

  Hello

  I wanted just to update my old Satellite A100-386 with 4 GB of RAM (2x2gb Crucial) instead of 1 GB, as I am now running Windows7 Pro 64 bit instead of the original XP 32.

  I read that I had to upgrade the BIOS as mine is v2.00. So, I downloaded the last of them.
  It seems to be an automatic upgrade of BIOS (S10V600.exe) as mentioned on the site Web of Toshiba.
  But when hit the .exe, I have a box of error message saying:
  "LOADPEDRV. "EXE: could not start the service.

  My question is: do I have to be 32-bit OS to run the upgrade of the automatic BIOS or is it possible to Flash the BIOS with a Windows7 64 bit OS run?

  Thanks a lot for all answer as I found no 'how to' in search on this forum.

  Best regards
  François

  Hi FPSim,

  Who said that you need to update the BIOS to upgrade RAM? The maximum RAM capacity depends on the motherboard and chipset and not BIOS.

  Official website of Toshiba, I have seen that the model supports 4 GB of RAM so the BIOS update is not necessary. Increase the RAM and everything is ok.

• Re: Portégé R700 - how to reset the BIOS/supervisor password?

  Hi all

  I just bought a used Portege R700 and want to reinstall Windows.
  I can't access the BIOS due to a configuration of PasswordUtility from Toshiba supervisor password. The previous owner did not provide this password.

  How can I reset it?

  Thank you

  Hi Spets

  You cannot reset the BIOS password. It must be done by the Toshiba authorised service provider. I'm sorry.

  If you need addresses and phone numbers, you can find it on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

• Portege R700 - how to replace the optical disk drive?

  Hello
  I would like to replace the optical disc drive (ODD) with a Solid State Drive (SSD) on my Portege R700.
  So my first question is: what is the way to remove the STRANGE?

  And my second question is: can I replace it with a Caddy drive HARD ICY BOX IB-AC642 or Akasa AK-OS2SSA-BK?
  Interface SATA caddy fits with the WEIRD interface?

  Thank you for your answer

  Hello

  It s really complicated because the STRANGE is placed inside and remove it you must remove all the screws that fix the bottom cover.

  I wouldn't, because you will lose the warranty.
  More I doubt you could get the second HDD to work in ODD Bay.
  I think that this is not supported
  Just the laptop s as Portege M400, M700, M750, Tecra M9, S3 or S4 with a select Bay slim support would treat the 2nd HDD instead of ODD.

• Portege R700 - how to clean the keyboard keys?

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Portege R700 - and I spilled coke on a small part of the keyboard.
  Not surprisingly, the two or three keys are now "sticky."

  Is it as simple as access to the keyboard and the relevant keys of cleaning?
  Or is it not that simple?
  If I can do this, is there a pictorial guide on access to the keyboard?

  I'm reluctant to open first without consulting the tech manual.

  Thank you

  Hello

  In my opinion, you will not be able to clean it properly. Coke is full of sugar. It can be complicated, but you can try it.

  In the worst cases, you must exchange he keyboard.
  So what you need to do is to remove Cap key for each critical button. It is set with small farmers in plastic. Just take something like the credit card but more stabile, put under the key cap and try to remove it. Under the key CAP is little key mechanism. Try to clean it with a damp cloth. Be careful and clean without a lot of pressure.

  When you think it's OK place the key cap and press it very gently of course.

  You'll hear the clicking noise and the cp key should be up again.

  I hope that you will be able to make it work again.
  Please post comments.

• Satellite P300-1EI (PSPCCE) - how to upgrade the BIOS?

  Hello everyone,

  I want to update my BIOS and I am running Windows 7 32 bit. On the Toshiba site, I found this update: of the bios-20090226125740.
  It's the good update?

  How could I do to update Windows (I have no floppy).

  Thanks for your reply.

  Hi banditito,

  The first important question is: BIOS update is really necessary?
  I mean if you notice any problems with your laptop I n t see a reason to update. This update is a bit risky if never touch a system! ;)

  In addition, the update is designed for Windows and you don't need a floppy drive!
  Extract all files from the archive zip and start the update. But before this, close all programs running (also, AntiVirus and firewall), disconnect from the Internet and then start the update.

• Re: Satellite A300 (PSAGCA-09W01N) - how to upgrade the BIOS?

  I have a problem and the only solution that I have to try is updating the BIOS. Could someone please tell me how?

  Cheers, Levi

  Hey mate,

  Are you really sure that the update of the BIOS may solve your problem? I mean the BIOS update is always somewhat risky and in the worst case you could destroy the ROM module So the BIOS shouldn't t update just for fun. ;)

  I hope you find your answer here:

• How to upgrade the BIOS executes Windows 10

  My second battery (keyboard) has loaded only rarely. Most of the time, even after the days with the computer plugged in, only the battery of the Tablet has been charged. Since October Toshioba service station did not work properly, so I could not update my bios. I now changed for Windows 10 just to see if it would do the trick. I could install all the drivers, but not the BIOS updated. I tried to install them manually, but when I do so in that compatibility mode Windows 8, the system tells me that the "file could not be saved" immediately after having unpacked the software. Clues?

• NB100 - how to upgrade the BIOS using Linux

  I have searched all afternoon to update the bios on my linux and could not find one thing that works.

  Someone did he do with the more technical?
  Any help or walk through would be great

  I managed to get the BIOS update work. Simply retrieve the machine and install the BIOS update, as a kind of kernelmodule is modified by the update of the system which is responsible for enforcing BIOSupdate.

  After recovering (without applying a system update) just immediately update the BIOS.

• NB200 - 10G - how to upgrade the BIOS?

  My question may be already answered after reading the posts on this topic. If someone could clarify, I'd appreciate it.

  I bought my wife a NB200 - 10G and she had problems with the battery power. I followed the advice here and changed some of the settings, but not the update of the BIOS. My question is that the BIOS version is 1.2 the available update is 1.6.

  Does that mean I can update 1.2 to 1.6 in a step or are there several steps to perform. ?

  Thank you very much

  Terry

  Hello

  Akuma is right. You have to download the latest version of the BIOS (1.6) and start the update. This update contains all the fixes from previous updates so it of not necessary to install the previous updates too.

  But before you start the update, connect the AC adapter. Disable all programs running (also, antivirus, firewall, etc.) and make sure that you are logged on as administrator.

  Good luck!
