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.

  • Portege 3410 - how to update BIOS and install XP?

    Hello, I have two questions on Portege 3410.

    First: I can't update the BIOS (current usage, 1.50 there, I want to update to 1.60). Instruction does not work: I connect Teac USB into USB port, turn on the USB - FDD emulation to activate, portable switch with pressed F12, the message «Ready to update BIOS...» "appears, I touch in a hurry, but nothing happened. What's wrong?

    The other: I can't install Windows XP on laptop (it does not start from USB disk or external USB DVD drive).
    How can I install Windows?

    Thank you.
    Mikhail

    Hello

    Just a question: why do you want to update the BIOS? Is this really necessary?
    I ask this question because this update is always somewhat risky and you might damage it ROM module
    In any case, have you tried to load the default settings in the BIOS before you start the update and install XP?

    You can install XP without CD. Therefore, you must copy the folder i386 on the HARD drive from another computer and the boot to the HARD drive files, I think you need a little search with Google to find a workaround for this. You should find enough! ;)

  • Sound when Portege R830 is anchored and display lid is closed

    I have a fairly new Toshiba Portege R830 laptop (PT321E-01E00YEN) who don't use speakers integrated if it is placed in a dock with the closed laptop screen or the microphone.

    This causes problems when you try to work from only an external monitor, but when I flip the lid open, it works fine.

    I am using a replication of port II (PA3916B) and once installed a month ago, all device etc drivers has been updated to the lasted available so I think that there is a software configuration option that just needs to check or disabling.

    No one knows where that might be?

    I test this on an another older duplicator that has been purchased for a R700-15R and have exactly the same problem, so I don't think it is hardware related.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

    Please don't get me wrong, but to me this behavious seems logical. When you close the lid internal speaker and microphone placed close to the cam are blocked so I don't know how you want to use.
    When the laptop is closed and set aside, it's almost the same as the office. All devices that you need should be connected to the docking station and external devices.

    If you use your laptop on a regular route, but they also appear external to office extension, you can use all the internal devices to your laptop.

    In my opinion the point of berthing of the use of the station of different devices to your laptop, but using the docking station, you can remove the laptop and take it with you without disconnection of all connected devices, including the power supply.

    To be honest, I see here no problem. You can contact Toshiba service nearest and ask for opinions, but I'm sure the answer will be the same.

  • Computer laptop keyboard and mouse does not work (updated Bios and took the batttery)

    I have HP G60-530US.

    I read all the posts that talked about updating the BIOS and then by doing a hard reset by removing the power cable and speaking on the battery and then hit the power button for a minute or simply to leave the computer for several minutes.

    A lot of people seems to have solved their problems.  Not me.

    I updated the BIOS and also did the hard reset like 10 times.  What other options are there?

    I have Windows 7-64 bit.  This problem occurred after I did the updates windows 11/04/13 or 12/04/13.

    Mouse power switch and the power button wifi button keys are the only ones that seem to work.

    Hello

    Go back to the device, right click on the Device Manager and select uninstall - when it is finished, restart the laptop.

    Any change?

  • 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

  • 200N updated Bios and drivers - where?

    Where can you get free driver and Bios for Windows 7 updates.

    Googled Pheonix for Bios and get directed to a site that will scan your system, which gives a list of the updates that you find that you have to pay $30 for the updates. Lenovo website does seem to be about 3000 200n 0769

    No Win 7 support for the n200.
    If there is no problem of "fan noise", do not update.

    If the update to the most recent, run the update in Compatibility Mode
    for Vista.

    If you have no current problems as an update of the bios
    may fix, do not update, because there is a risk of update
    go wrong, since it was designed for Vista.

  • Portege R830 - 111 BIOS can not find the SSD drive

    Hello
    Four days ago, I bought R830-111 [PT320E-00X00XPL] and a - DATA S599 2.5 "SATA II Solid State Drive 128 GB to replace the standard HARD disk drive. Unfortunately, the new SSD drive does not work with this laptop.

    Several times, after several reboots disc was visible in the BIOS.
    But there is not the possibility of a normal use of the SSD.
    I have day laptop BIOS [BIOS360_EC140_WIN] and SSD drive. That did not help.

    Can someone help and tell me how to work this SSD ADATA and Portege?

    Best regards

    Have you checked if the SSD drive needs a firmware update?
    In some cases, this is necessary, but in the worst cases, the SSD drive might not be compatible and this means that you need to test another :(

  • Portege M300 - update Bios without battery

    Hello

    Currently, I am trying to fix a problem that I have with my laptop (Portege M300) of the battery.
    I have been informed that the bios update should solve this problem, but when I try to update I get error "the AC adapter is not connected, or battery power is not sufficient.

    Now, the power adapter is connected and works well, but the battery is on 4% of costs...
    This is the exact reason, I'm updating the bios!

    Does anyone know how I'm supposed to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance,

    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.

  • Update BIOS and Tecra A9 - no sound with Win 7

    Hello

    I installed Windows 7 from a Tecra A9 laptop and everything works fine except the sound. Sound card for Windows 7 driver is already installed. The speakers and the microphone is detected. While playing music in sound devices the green bar under the speakers raises up and down, but I can't hear anything.

    I read that the update of the BIOS can help, but it does not work under Windows 7, with a Live CD of Windows XP or in Windows XP Mode for Windows 7.

    I don't want to reinstall Windows XP.

    -Does anyone know how to get the sound working properly?

    Have you checked it with headphones?
    Have you noticed the same thing?

    To be honest I don't think THAT BIOS will change anything on this subject. If the audio driver is installed correctly, check that all the settings in Windows and also in Audio DD Realtek Audio Manager.

  • 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.

    Hello

    Please don t compare models of European specifications and Americans and don t make updated mix. If you have European cell phone please use only the stuff available on the download page of Toshiba Europe.

    If you don t have problems with your device and system runs stable operations, don t do anything. That's just my opinion.
