• 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.

• 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 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?

  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 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.

• Satellite A300-18 has: how to increase the screen resolution

  I have recently buy a Toshiba Satellite A300-18 a, and I want to increase the resolution of the screen.
  Currently the max resolution is 1280 x 800.

  Does anyone know how to increase the resolution?
  Where can I find the drivers to increase?

  Thank you

  Henrique

  Hello

  I don t think a new graphics driver would allow a higher screen resolution on your laptop A300.
  Have you checked your manual for more details?

  I downloaded the user manual of the Europe of Toshiba page and discovered that the display is a 15.4 WXGA 16Mill colors with the following resolution: 1280 horizontal and 800 pixels vertical.

  It seems that you are already using the highest available resolution and therefore you will not be able to wear to higher values.

• Satellite A210-19Z (PSAFGE-05P00KGR) - how to upgrade the BIOS?

  Hey guys,.

  I'm happy with my Satellite A210-19Z (PSAFGE-05P00KGR), but I had some problems with the Energiesaving Mode on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
  I read on the internet that a BIOS update would be useful on the download site there is only 1 update of the BIOS and that includes WinPhlash but WinPhlash does not work on Vista or Windows 7.

  Because there is no other update tools on the host and my machine was delivered with the Vista operating system. Because of this, I created a bootable usb key with phlash16.exe and the 'm10a190.rom' I've renamed "bios.wph" on this subject.
  When I start BACK and enter ' phlash16/x', my laptop starts the Application and I see a progressbar crossing. After perhaps a second I see the main menu of Phlash16 but it freezes until I am able to do something (the keyboard doesn't respond when I press a button).

  Do you know what I did wrong, or is it not possible to update my BIOS?

  Thanks for your help and I look forward to receive your reply soon.
  Chris

  Hey Chris,

  I also checked the Web from Toshiba site for BIOS update on a series of Satellite A210 PSAFGE and it shows an update to BIOS version 1.90. This update is based on Windows and it will appear on all versions of Windows (XP, Vista 32 bit and Vista 64-bit). So perhaps you can explain what you mean with it doesn't work under Vista. You get an error message?

  I understand that the update doesn't work on Windows 7 because at the moment are no drivers available for this system in that time so the update should only be done on XP or Vista. I put t understand why try to Flash the BIOS in DOS mode. It's really risky and you can destroy the ROM module in the worst cases.

  I did also update the BIOS on my laptop, I did:
  -Update the BIOS on a Toshiba preinstalled OS
  -J' was logged in as an administrator
  -J' closed all the running background processes and programs, also the antivirus, firewall and internet connection
  -J' extracted all the files to zip archive and start the update has been done successfully.

  I hope I could help you! :)

• Satellite P200 - option SATA missing after upgrading the BIOS

  Hello

  Must add driver SATA while installing Windows.
  During the installation process you will be asked to add the driver (F6 key)
  Then you could add the connected USB floppy disk driver.

  More details how to do here:

• Satellite Pro S500-14Z - how to access the BIOS?

  Hello

  on the Satellite Pro S500-14Z I can´t access the BIOS via F2 and can´t change the bootpriority through F12. By pressing F2 or F12 during startup, the S500 beeps and restarts. When you first start, I had access to the Bios and set the password and active supervisor module TPM. Since I have no access to the BIOS before Windows starts. Is there another key to access bios (I tried ESC, DEL, F1, INS) or how can I change the pw supervisor (I know my real password!) and disable the TPM?

  Thank you
  Karl

  Hi karlS_1,

  Normally you can access the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows starts. It works with an external keyboard?

  You can change some settings in the BIOS using Toshiba HWsetup. This tool is preinstalled on your laptop and you can change the order of boot with this tool.

• Satellite Pro C850 - 1 H 8 - upgrade the BIOS CPU support

  Hi there are people.

  I'm wandering if there is a possibility of upgrade of the i5 3230 m which is currently in my Satellite Pro C850 - 1 H 8.

  Looking at the options available in the decision-making FCPGA988 and chipset Intel HM70 there seems to be a variety of the i7 available for use.

  The laptop supports processors with a TDP plu max than 35w?
  The bios supports all the CPU upgrade options?

  Cheers, Nick

  In this forum, you will find various discussions on the theme of CPU upgrade.
  I found this one:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=75073

  Paolo and Macius posted some information about the situation of CPU upgrade.
  As you can read in another thread, the CPU upgrade isn't supported. Updates can be made at your own risk, and no one can say if CPU supported by the chipset would be supported by the BIOS.
  Test it if you want, but it's at your own risk.

• Satellite A660-18 does not have upgraded the BIOS to v1.90

  The BIOS upgrade notice came in the Toshiba Service Station program and I downloaded the new update of the BIOS and pressed the button "install". The program extracts and ran but then stop saying:

  Installation of UEFI WinFlash 0.02 in the title bar

  + "The program will be closed! +
  + There is an error occurred, please check below Articles. +
  + Version of the BIOS above 190. +
  + Plus 10% of battery capacity. +
  '+ AC is attached. +

  Obviously, the battery is fully charged and I'm running on AC. If I start up the computer and go to BIOS F2 screen, it reports as v1.80.

  He reports the BIOS version as something akin to garbage in Toshiba HWSetup program:

  V234567890. 00/00/00000000000

  He also pointed out what is called the CBS Version as "1.80".

  Anyone else have problems to install the new BIOS (published on 25/01/2011) v1.90?

  And you are using the original operating system preinstalled you got with your laptop?
