• Tecra M5: Are there special precautions with the Bios upgrade?

  Are there special precautions he takes while uprading BIOS. I'm just afraid because both failover system report people after the upgrade, is it true?

  Hello

  Of course you need a few special steps if you want to update the BIOS!
  The update of the BIOS is risky! If you use the bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure, you may damage the motherboard or module ROM BIOS!
  This is why you should always read the details of upgrading the BIOS before you start the update.

  Finally and above all many people update the BIOS without any reason. That s is really stupid.
  In my opinion you should not update anything if you have no problems!
  Therefore, never change a running system ;)

  You know the technical knowledge of Toshiba?

  But after the update, my laptop goes on infinite blue screen of death. How can I recover from this injury?

  Can someone please help.

  Hello

  Did you choose the good BIOS update for your model? Was it for Satellite L300 PSLB8E?

  What code you get BSOD?

  After the BIOS update you must always load the default settings. Maybe a bad BIOS setting is causing this BSOD.

• Can't do the BIOS update for Portégé R500 (PPR50E)

  I have a Portege R500 PPR50E with Vista Business pre-installed model. I am wanting to move to Windows 7 and so initially I want to update the BIOS of 1.5 to 1.6. I got the correct file from Toshiba (bios-20080325071859 containing P0058v160.exe), but when I try to run the application, it fails with "this computer is not supported.
  I checked several times that I downloaded the file for the R500.

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  That s strange.
  Did you change something on you installed Vista?

  In different cases, the BIOS cannot be updated because some essential tools such as the common modules for Win XP has not been installed.
  If you are using vista you don't need common modules but I recommend reinstalling the VAP.
  Then you should try to rerun the update of the BIOS.

  Otherwise use the recovery disk and computer laptop back to factory settings.
  After the laptop has been set to the same State as on the first day of purchase, you can run the BIOS update.

  Hello

  Well, if the BIOS update crashed you can do anything because the ROM module needs to be reflashed. This is possible only with special tools and only an authorized service provider has such tools.

  Then please contact the nearest service Toshiba and ask for help :)

• Tecra A11 - 11N - after that the BIOS update programs not loading now

  My model is Tecra A11 - 11N. I ran the BIOS update and now some of my programs, including ITunes, Nokia Ovisuite, payer VLC etc. are not running. I tried to uninstall and reinstall them, but same problems.

  In any case to come back before upgrade?

  Hi evangny,

  I also Tecra A11 in front of me and have installed latest version of BIOS but this didn't affect all installed programs. BIOS and installed programs are different.
  What you can do is load the default settings in the BIOS after the update.

  Can you be a bit more detailed?
  What exactly happens if you try to start these programs? You get an error message?

  You use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?

  Hello

  Seems the CPU and GPU don t run full implementation after the BIOS update.
  Any performance CPU/GPU leads to lower the heat dissipation and this means that the cooling module does not need to execute quickly and very often.

  Check to see if you can change an option is the BIOS.
  You can also try to update a graphics driver and could control Windows 7 power management.
  Power management settings 7 victory could affect CPU and GPU performance to save battery power and reduce the heat dissipation.

• Satellite A500 - it gets stuck one second after the BIOS update

  I knew I shouldn't update BIOS unless I have problems. A message came Toshiba Bulletin Board and I was stupid enough to trust him and I have updated my BIOS. The update has been successful, my computer seems to work very well.

  Except, now when I try to watch a movie, I downloaded every 10 seconds or if it gets stuck for a second and then plays normally and it happens when I play music on itunes. Because I didn't have this problem before, I'm not accusing the update. Is there a way I can go back or how can I return to normal?

  Oh God, what have I done? :(

  You can try to update a sound/display drivers on the [page driver Toshiba | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp] Bios update should not cause a problem like yours, but who knows... (You can also try to load the default settings in the Bios)
  Updated version of itunes and try how movies on VLC and Kmplayer

• Satellite C660 - 1 7 - cannot run the BIOS update

  Hello

  I use my Satellite C660 - 1 7 for a year now, and recently I have a Wi - Fi connection problem with my laptop. I can find the network in my laptop, but it loses the connection permanently. It's a little boring.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you

  >... but it loses the connection permanently. It's a little boring.
  Do you have this problem with power supply battery only or is the problem when the laptop is connected to the power supply running too?

• Satellite P200 - after the BIOS update I can't start the machine

  After the BIOS update I can't boot the laptop because the system doesn't recognize the relecommunicarions password.

  Before updating the password is 0000.
