• Question about updating BIOS for Satellite M70-337

  I just bought an M70-337 and the Toshiba site I noticed that there is an update of the BIOS - my current v1.3 to v1.4. Several things occurred to me - mainly centering around me after spending 3 days Exchange my sytems to a new computer: -.

  I've never updated a BIOS before.
  I've heard that it can be potentially disastrous
  So it is worth risking 3 days for an update that is perhaps not necessary?
  I downloaded the bios file - 130win.zip - is it just a matter of installing the program in the same way, install other Windows programs?
  Or I'd be suspicious?

  Anyone know? or have experience of updating a BIOS through Windows?

  Hi Alan,

  As your say quite rightly, BIOS updates can be disastrous if something should go wrong with the process.

  I wouldn't recommend that you try to update the BIOS unless it is absolutely necessary in order to correct some of the problems you are having with your laptop. The usual reason for an update of the BIOS under production to fix a bug identified in the previous version, is to provide new functionality/pick-up load of new devices or operating system settings. If you have no problems with you laptop, then I would leave well alone and run with the BIOS that is already installed.

  The M70 is a very nice unit and I don't know of existing bugs or updates that are essential for this. Take advantage because it's :-)

  Kind regards

• Question about updating BIOS for my Satellite M40

  So, my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Support suggested me to update my Bios.
  OK, given that the last time, it was easy.

  I downloaded the newsest version vor my Satellite M40 (PSM40) (1, 70 - WIN<= i="" have="" an="" ati="" grafics="" card)="" and="" extracted="" the="" bios-20070709161345.zip="">
  But there was a surprise:
  Instead of getting the old data structure, as written in the FAQ update Bios
  1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
  2. in the folder temporary three subfolders will be generated. "docs", 'Update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW"

  I get a file only: BIOS of Windows Knockhill10GV170.exe
  Extraction of it I get 8 files:
  -fdbase.img
  -InsydeFlash.exe
  -iscflash.dll
  -iscflash.vxd
  -KPM170. ROM
  -Platform.ini
  -The c:\windows\system32\unicows.dll

  Now my question: How can I create this bootable CD-ROM to update my Bios?

  Just to know: download all the other things are done on my desktop from my laptop is not starting ;)
  I also tried to run the exe in the hope that it will create a floppy disk or a CD-ROM, but it is written "basic cfg address not found."

  Hello

  Update the BIOS there are two ways to do this:
  -Traditional mode (TRAD) and in this case, you need floppy
  -Windows (WIN) and this update can be done under operating system running.

  Update BIOS WIN will work if you run Windows on your laptop satellite. If I understand your assignment well you are trying to do traditional BIOS updated, but using the BIOS to WIN update. On the Toshiba download page, there are two listed BIOS updates and two of them as versions of WIN. This means that you can update the BIOS under operating system only.

  Back to your problem: in the history one thing confuses me when you write: my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Sorry, but if the recovery procedure is working and you will have clean installed OS.

  Be a little more concrete in our laptop does not start. What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop?

• Question about updating Bios on Satellite L40

  Hello everyone!
  Can I upgrade the bios on my laptop, the Bios v. 2-20-v. 5 - 10?

  In the instructions, it is written:
  This Bios is only compatible for laptop computers equipped with Windows XP!
  And this Bios is only for models with Modelnumber PSL48x, PSL49x, PSL4Bx or PSL4Cx

  Two reasons:
  1. I use XP operating system.
  2. I have the laptop in the L4 series *.

  Hello

  I think the description of BIOS says it all;
  BIOS is only for the models with the model number PSL48x, PSL49x, PSL4Bx, or PSL4Cx

  This means that if your laptop * not * belong to one of these serial number, then you can not use the BIOS!
  The incorrect BIOS may damage the module motherboards ROM!

• Replacing hard drive for Satellite 2450-101

  Hi, my laptop hard drive is broken and I need a hard drive replacement for my aging * Satellite 2450-101 * urgent, but I can't find my mannual and another source model support for portable computers.

  I thought it was a * standard internal 2.5 "IDE * (and thinking about buying a digital _Western 250GB 2.5" IDE hard drive 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache - OEM, model _: _WD Scorpio WD2500BEVE - 250 GB - ATA-100_), but I am not sure.
  If anyone knows? Help, please. Thank you very much!

  I think 120 GB maximum capacity too.

  If you have misplaced the user manual you can download it on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online downloads support & -online manual

  I founded you can use a second HARD drive in the Bay to select if you need more disk space.
  Drive external HARD is also a good solution for more disk space.

• How to remove the password of BIOS on Satellite 2450-101?

  I have a Satellite 2450-101 and it seems that my HARD drive is already damaged. I would like to boot from the CD/DVD drive, but it won't start? It has a power on password too and I want to remove it but I can not enter or it does not penetrate into the BIOS settings?

  What can I do? Any suggestions?

  Am I entitled? You want to remove the BIOS password?
  Unfortunately, something like this is not possible! If you n t the BIOS password you can not delete it! Only the ASP in your country could do this!

  So if you want to remove it, contact the authorized service provider!

  But you want to boot from the CD! Am I wrong? Why you t n try to use the F12 key to get the start menu?
  After mobile power press F12 and you should be able to choose the STRANGE as a source of start-up! But the CD/DVD must be inserted before using this option.

  Try this!

• Updated BIOS for Satellite Pro U200?

  Hello

  does anyone have any experience with BIOS version 1.3 for Satellite Pro U200? I've upgraded to this version of the BIOS and have had several problems since then - shortened wireless keyboard does not and display the overflowing of installation brightness to name two.

  In addition, as I noticed last week, upgrading the BIOS can not be downloaded more and there is no alternative - just says download page don't: "no BIOS upgrade for this product! Is there anyone that has 1.2 BIOS so that I can try to downgrade to this version?

  What is your experience with BIOS 1.3?

  Hello

  It s really strange?  :|
  I checked the BIOS for Satellite U200 and Satellite Pro U200 download section, but I put t found any BIOS download at this time.

  A few years ago the authorized service provider has installed an older version of the BIOS on my Tecra friends unit.
  I guess that he should be able to do it on your Satellite Pro U200.
  The other possibility is to wait for a newer version of the BIOS.
