  Please, someone tell me what is the problem with the update to v1.60 SP4220 BIOS? It does not start even do it according to instructions.

  2. put the floppy in the computer
  3. turn on the device with the F12 key

  With a floppy, I got the "non-system disk" error and another with a "EMBRL" error message missing. What is it, I'm not familiar with that one?

  Hello

  Can I ask why you want to update the BIOS?
  You have problems?
  If the laptop works well the update of the BIOS is not necessary! My laptop is about 6 years old and I have no day BIOS!

  However, I think that you didn't use the right update procedure.
  Please check this document before starting the BIOS update:

  Hello

  Do you mean that the laptop does not power upward?
  Are there any other reaction to the laptop?
  You can access the BIOS?

  If this isn't the case, then it seems that something was wrong during the BIOS update process.
  In this case, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

  Maybe the ROM module needs to be flashed again

• Satellite P100: After updating the BIOS 3.8 I can't access MCE pressing enter

  Hello!

  I was able to enter XP MCE by pressing the Enter key when the Welcome screen. Now I cannot and must click on the photo of the small image. Is it because of 3.8 BIOS that I put in place recently or not? Can I do this option still works? Thank you very much.

  Hello

  I put t know if you can restore this option but you should access the BIOS and try to define again the default settings t.
  Don t forget to save the settings if you exit BIOS ;)

  But I really don't understand why you have updated the BIOS. If the laptop is running without any problems a BIOS update is not necessary!
  Therefore, never change a system up and running, you know? ;)

  Besides as I know the P100 were not delivered with Microsoft XP MCE but with XP Home and Express Media Player or Vista

• Satellite Pro U500 - update the BIOS does not start on Windows 7

  Try to update BIOS on Satellite Pro U500 PSU9CA. The download site says there is a new version available, after that download and run the program nothing happens. You can see the Winflash process in the Task Manager but it never appears"". If this has yet been tested by Toshiba?

  There are no instructions, no readme or whatever it is.

  Did somebody get the BIOS update?

  Hi torana.

  As far as I know Toshiba always test their drivers or updates tools before they will be released and I have never had a problem with the new updates, so I think that the problem is lreated to your laptop, maybe something wrong with your installation.

  In General before you start the update of the BIOS you have to decompress all the files in archive zip and launch the update as an administrator.
  Also make sure that the value added package is installed and no firewall is not blocking the update program.

• Satellite A215-S4817 - update the BIOS

  Hi, I'm trying to find the update of the BIOS for a Satellite A215-S4817. I tried several BIOS updates for numbers of similar but not exact model without success.

  In addition, this Web of Toshiba site does not recognize my serial number, and it cannot complete the application auto-defaut either. Maybe I have a more serious problem? The real problem is that my laptop will crash occasionally (screen goes completely black), but a hard restart to fix it. I was told I need to update BIOS, but maybe I need something different.

  Thanks for your help!

  > I'm trying to find the update of the BIOS for a Satellite A215-S4817. I tried several BIOS updates for numbers of similar but not exact model without success.

  It is a series of Toshiba laptops we.
  The BIOS can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page we:

• Satellite C660D - after updating the BIOS, WiFi no longer works

  -J' installed from the toshiba Web site, the driver "realtek_wlan_win7_2000016L_20110523".
  -I turned down my anti-virus and firewall
  -J' tried a system restore on the eve of the update of the bios, but it did not because of a virus while it was off.

  The wi - fi card is always displayed in the Panel of the unit, and it is said in the work.

• Satellite A500 - cannot update the BIOS (error message)

  Hello

  I have a PSAR3A - 02U002 Satellite A500 with BIOS version 1.9 is installed.

  After reading several forums, I discovered that there may be a BIOS (v2.0) update available to resolve the current problem, these Satellites have with overheating cooling switch down.

  Excited, I have tried to install the new BIOS - this is what I get:

  "There is an error occurred, please check below the elements."
  BIOS version more than 200.
  Battery capacity more than 10%.
  AC is fixed. »

  First of all, my BIOS version is 190, no more than 200. Second, I find it very difficult to believe that the battery must be less than 10%. And third, I don't see what that remove the power supply cable will do.

  Please note that this update of the BIOS found on Toshiba's European website, but v2.0 claims to be a worldwide release. I then checked on the Australian site and there is no BIOS for my model. I don't know how to interpret this contradiction.

  Help, please!

  Hi umm_excuse_me,

  So I think that BIOS update is not available at this time for you. European and Australian models have different model numbers, so I doubt that the update of the BIOS is always the same. The pieces of equipment may also be different.

  In your case, I would wait until the BIOS was released on the page Australian too.

  By the way: where did you read that this update was release in the world?

• Satellite L10-119: update the BIOS clears and RTC battery is not

  I upgraded my Satellite L10-119 with new 250 GB HARD drive and the BIOS update. The laptop worked well.
  After two months a probem follow arrived - only first 137 Gb(2^48) of the disk is accessible.
  I've discovered:

  1. If I flash BIOS again and the computer restarted after flashing, the upper part of the HARD drive is accessible for a short time or until I restart again.
  2. a show of internal clock 01/01/1988 if I disconnect and connect a main battery.

  So I guess that it is a problem with the RTC battery (L10-119 is 2.5 years old)

  I tried to charge the battery of the CCF by connecting the laptop power for a long time, but this does not solve the problem.
  Does anyone know what can I do else (except visit ASP)?

  Post edited by: Admin

  Your guess was right, and I also, think that the problem with your BIOS settings always clear RTC battery.
  In other words, the RTC is dead.

  Battery charging will not succeed, because he can't keep the load.
  It's probably not as easy to replace then with desktop computers, so I advise you to contact local ASP, and all must be dismantled.

  I'm sorry to tell you, it's the only method I know to get your laptop to life.

• Satellite M100 - after updating the BIOS, it no longer starts

  Hey everyone :)

  BIOS problem: I was updating * BIOS * by WinFlash and my laptop 'freezes' if the BIOS is DAMAGED. Computer laptop does ' t start.
  I was updating my XP laptop to * 3.00* BIOS version.

  How to fix BIOS?

  Hey mate,

  I agree with Akuma and I think that in this case, you can't do anything. If the laptop froze during the update of the BIOS I think the ROM module is now destroyed and needs to be reflashed or exchanged. In this case only an ASP can help you.

  On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of ASP and you should contact the nearest one. Talk with the technicians, and they will try to help you.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite L850-147 - updated the BIOS but what?

  Hello

  has obtained a PSKDLE L850-147. TEMPRO soft want me to install a new bios.
  Sweet gas station tells me there is nothing to update. (In the past, I've already updated my bios with Service Station)

  Who should I believe?

  In General, you can trust these two tools pre-installed.
  > In the past, I've already updated my bios with Service Station
  This means that you already have the latest version of the BIOS? Have you checked the BIOS Toshiba download page if a newer version is available - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp

  In any case, if the system works you do not need to change anything.
