• BIOS update failed on Satellite P200 - 13 M

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite P200, (PSPB6E-03G01XFR).

  I downloaded the new version of the bios of Toshiba-Europe Web site (v2.30) and I tried to use the Crisis_Recovery_Disk but no result. :(
  Can someone help me please?

  Unfortunately, in your case only the ASP can help you.

  Does your BIOS update fails and only the ASP can update the ROM module damaged by using a special version of the BIOS

  So, don t waste time and ask the ASP in your country to help.

• Satellite L755-S5349 - BIOS update failed - black screen

  Hello.

  So yesterday, I got a Toshiba pop-up message to update my BIOS, so I clicked it and it started to update but then it says "error checking".

  So I closed it, cause I had to restart my computer after one previous update with another program and I thought to try to update the BIOS after you restart.

  But once it restarted it is off, so I tried to put back market but the screen is black, lights are immediately (food, batt etc.) and the fan works just as well. I tried to take the battery out and in again but screen remains black.

  Could someone please tell me what you think it might be and what I have to do.

  I also tried with a HDMI, but it does not recognize.

  Thank you for your help

  Hello

  I think I have bad news for you.
  To me, it seems that the update of the BIOS didn't
  Why? Who knows maybe that some applications that runs in the background affected the BIOS update process.

  I've updated the BIOS on my laptop last night, everything went well. First, I downloaded the BIOS package from the Toshiba page. Then I unzipped the folder.
  I closed all applications that looked like Firewall, antivirus etc software
  Then I did the BIOS update

  At least in cases where the BIOS update failed, you must get in touch with a local ASP Toshiba in order to solve this problem in the best of cases they need to update the module ROM again

  Good luck

• BIOS update failed - Dell Precision M4600

  I just got a used M4600 and the currently installed bios is A08. When I try to update to A16, it restarts, said it is updating the firmware, but fails at 0%. It gives no reason and no code error I can say. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

  Is NOT the issue! There is nothing wrong with motherboards M4600 se.

  Everyone tried to find why when you attempt an upgrade of the BIOS, the system fails immediately with a "BIOS Update Failed" basis and any specific error code or more explanations. The answer is in the PDF below--that is the message displayed when the BIOS authentication will fail!

  Just look for the Firmware Signature Dell's "feature" that was introduced in a number of laptop including the M4600.  Doc PDF to download. It is a feature introduced by the NIST requirements.

  In a Word, they changed the way BIOS authenticates a BIOS file before he will use it to update the firmware BIOS & CBS. The M4600 is in the list of "Legacy Systems", where it was introduced. Basically, these systems do NOT have the Firmware of Signature When produced.

  Version A04 introduced this feature. After you have that installed, you will have an option to activate the requirement of Signature of the Firmware (default is). Once activated, it cannot be disabled!

  The problem starts in worm BIOS A08. Something in the code is wrong. Because on some M4600s, it updates the BIOS AND activates the requirement of Signature of the Firmware. After that, the system will authenticate ALL the other versions of the BIOS, so you will NOT be able to upgrade past version 8!

  I got many, many systems for a company. I'm currently sitting on 33 (Yes, that many) M4600 with this exact same situation!

  An exchange of motherboard does not correct the problem. It is to give you a new BIOS chip to tinker with.

• Vostro 3500 BIOS update failed - need recovery procedure

  I got a Vostro 3500 laptop computer work and was doing maintenance to update. I downloaded and installed the BIOS update recommended for this laptop... Dell Vostro 3500 system BIOS 3500 has 12. EXE | Release date of BIOS of Windows/DOS (3 MB) 21/07/2014 updated 21/07/2014 recommended BIOS update failed and left no work of BIOS of the computer. F2 is dead. It will not start. I am sure that there a backup BIOS or primitive still, as when I start the machine without battery and power, using the end key he's constantly trying to read the data from a 2 GB flash drive. I guess he wants to reload the BIOS from a file. I know how to get the ROM content from the file above using the /writeromfile parameter. The big question is, what type of file the 3500 wants to read, and what is the name of the file it is seeking? Is the flash player must be bootable? What is a FRIEND or a Phoenix BIOS? Can someone please? Thanks, Terry

  Here's how to recover a flash update BIOS of your laptop Vostro 3500 failure...

  1. download the Dell BIOS update .exe file to a USB flash drive.

  2. run the .exe with the /writehdrfile parameter file

  3. run the .exe with the /writeromfile parameter file

  4. copy the .hdr winery50.hdr

  5. remove the battery and the power of the dead computer

  6 Insert the flash drive into the USB port on the computer of the death

  7 press and hold the end key and then connect the AC power

  8 dead computer reads USB flash and request if the update should be performed

  9. let the update at the end and then restart.

  10. computer now works normally.

• Qosmio F60 - HDD and BIOS issues

  I have a Qosmio F60. 1 months since purchase, and I'm having problems. I organize my questions for a better look.

  (1) if there is a new BIOS update, should I put to update mine? Mine is currently on 2.10, and the last is 2.50! And I know the change log, because I can't find it anywhere. : S

  (2) if I'm in the MBR, where there are two options (Windows 7, Ubuntu Linux) and I press the ESC key. The screen goes black, and the laptop fan is running at full speed noisy. The same thing happens if I reboot/hibernate Ubuntu. Also, this sometimes happen to the instance that I push the power button to turn on the PC, but this is rare.

  (3) my HARD drive creates serious noise. I think that all hard drives have, but I have to check if it is safe, and what could be the cause. The sound is little consecutive cracks when the HARD drive is reading.

  (4) the BIOS I found (2.50) is for the model no: PQF65-E, while mine is PQF65-L. I ran the .exe, and he identified my current BIOS without any compatibility issues. Although I don't actually flashed the BIOS, because I want to question 1) answered first.

  Thanks in advance

  Well, if you have problems, then an update of the BIOS can be useful.

  Sorry mate, but as I know Linux is not supported by Toshiba. So I can't say about concerns generally Linux could react a little bit different as a windows OS and of course the cooling modules could run differently also.

  (> 3) my HARD drive creates serious noise. I think that all hard drives have, but I have to check if it is safe, and what could be the cause.
  The sound is little consecutive cracks when the HARD drive is reading.

  In your case I would always back up data on another HARD drive or a disk to be always on the safe side.
  I mean the HARD drive can still die and it s better to have backups of backup.

  In my experience the special drive is required, which is available only for ASP technician

• Qosmio X 500 - NEW BIOS update - 1.90

  Found a new BIOS update 1.9 on the Australian from Toshiba Web site. This morning, it showed version 1.40, but now it says version 1.90. I'll try it on my 500 X when I go home tonight, see if that solves the Sleep-wake up question.

  Hey mate,

  That's really interesting. Thanks for sharing this information with us! :)

  But it seems that this update is only for the PQX33A series. For other series, we will have to wait a little longer I think

• Tecra M4 - BIOS update fails

  I'm updating my M4 with the Toshiba BIOS provided for support of Windows Vista. It can be found here: http://www.csdsupport.toshiba.com/tais/csd/support/windows_vista/vista_beta.cgi?lsAction=list_files&model_id=1

  However, the update process fails. I can unzip the file downloaded to a file, but then fails it to process with a generic-looking message "install2 has encountered a problem and needs to close."

  My M4 is currently leading the BIOS version 1.70, 14/02/2006.

  Any ideas? Maybe is there a way I can do an update of the traditional BIOS with the new file?

  Be careful with the BIOS updates. I put t know where you bought your Tecra but you try to install the update BIOS, designed for the laptop models in the United States.

  If you have European mobile phone use just updates BIOS you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

• Qosmio G30-211: how BIOS update on Vista 64-bit?

  Hello

  The VAP is not compatible with Vista 64 bit. For the execution of the BIOS updated common modules of necessary VAP. Vicious circle!
  Do you know of ways to improve the new version of the BIOS (3.50 win) not under Vista?
  The real BIOS manual upgrade (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07) is not correct and not suited to the content of the package (for example after unpacking, I can't find the files "docs", "Update - 3.5' disc',"Update - CD - R or CD - RW")?

  Hello

  Because of your first thread posted here in the forum, I guess you have a laptop Qosmio G30-211. This unit belongs to the series of PQG32E.

  Now, we must clarify something;
  Toshiba laptops are not delivered with a 64 bit OS. Also the Qosmio G30-211 not was not preinstalled with Vista 64 bit, but with 32-bit Windows, XP Media Center Edition 2005.

  In my opinion, to run the original image of Toshiba (or MS Vista 32 bit OS) for updating the BIOS. And not a 64 bit OS!
  The BIOS of 3, 50 - WIN at the moment on the Toshiba page is OS independent, so it should be available for updating Vista or Xp.

  In the BIOS zip file you will find only an exe file, and you must run this file to launch the BIOS update procedure.

  By the way; the document said Toshiba;

  For the current offers in the range of Toshiba laptops two different BIOS update procedures.
  -Windows base update: BIOS is updated to Windows.
  -Traditional update: BIOS is updated using a floppy disk or a CD-ROM when starting.
  We recommend that you update the BIOS from Windows.

• Qosmio x 300 - 13w - BIOS update question

  I have a Qosmio x 300 - 13w and noticed that there is a BIOS recent update 1.8 for this laptop. I want to this flash as it can help with a problem with the Fn keys and adjusting screen brightness according to the release notes.

  However the download available on the European site of Toshibas only allows to Flash the BIOS of Windows and recommend this method.
  The strange thing is that the same BIOS update of the Toshibas USA site is very different insofar as it allows flash diskettte, CDs or windows and in its statement accompanying notes said flashing within windows present a higher risk to break the laptop.

  What I don't understand, is why European download offers only a flash within the method windows and States on the download page that is that Toshibas method recommended update and still on the American site, it says that it is more risky and give more choice - what gives people?

  Why Toshiba Europe puts its customers in a potential situation of bricking their phone?

  Whatever do Toshiba will always be strange or understandable for someone.
  Maybe you are an expert in computer science and maybe you have the floppy drive, but you must understand that 99% of people do not have floppy drive and don't understand what means BIOS.

  Thus, Toshiba has to offer something that will be easy, but at the same time efficient for these clients of 99%.
  Way easier for the update of the BIOS is double click on the exe and everything will be done automatically.

  Toshiba Europe is not the same thing as Toshiba U.S.. Two continents, two different systems and another right.
  Maybe company policy is also not the same. We can only speculate on this.

  In any case, the BIOS update is here so it is your decision to do or not. If you want the update of the traditional BIOS you can contact Toshiba nearest service if they can get it for you.
