Re: Why I can't update BIOS on Satellite U400?

When I came to my computer, I ignored the BIOS information and then tried to download.
Now I have the BIOS on the computer icons, but I don't think they have been installed.

When I check the information, it is said the last BIOS update was on 07-12-08, which was of about when I bought the computer, it seems that I have not updated any BIOS.

When I am now informed of the BIOS and I try to download the right pair, a notice comes up saying unfortunately "your personalized list of drivers has expired".

What does that mean?
I'm not very well informed about the functioning of computers.
I just want my computer to work on the optimal peformance; I need to know if I can remove the BIOS files (who seem to not actually installed) and how to get all of the updates that I need and those that I need.

Basically, I think that I have to "start over".

I have windows Vista and Satellite U400.

Just a matter of first;
What's your trouble free laptop running?

Yes? Then you n t need to updates the BIOS!

Now a general information on the BIOS updates:
Don t look on the BIOS release date, but take a look at the version of the BIOS available for your laptop model.
Then compare it with the BIOS installed on your laptop.
The version can be checked in the BIOS inside.

Then, you would know that if your BIOS installed is older or not.

  • Tecra S11 - replacement after HARD drive I can't update BIOS

    My HDD in Tecra S11 is dead, and I bought a new SSD.
    Everything works OK, but I can't update the BIOS again. Update utility displays an error:

    Error: Preparation of updated failed.
    You have not given permission to run the update.

    What should do? Help, please.

    > Error: Preparation of updated failed.
    > You have not given permission to run the update.

    You have administrator rights?
    Looks like the issue may be related to missing privileges that are necessary for the execution of an update.

    You can enable the administrator account, follow these steps:
    Choose command line (cmd the black box)
    In the box type net user administrator / Active: Yes
    And then disconnect. Usually, an additional user account should be visible administrator.

    Now, log in using that account and try to run the BIOS update.

    Note: in many cases the VAP (value added package) is required to run the BIOS update.
    Remember also, that the package was decompressed properly before you run the exe file.

  • Can't find an updated BIOS for Satellite A30

    Hi friends.
    I'm not found Toshiba A30-203 a new BIOS update.
    I want to install windows vista but this sccren error.
    Error message:
    "A computer has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you2ve seen this Stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Please contact your system provider for an updated BIOS. »

    to apologize for my bad English.

    Hello

    It seems that the Satellite A30 series is a series that was shipped with the BIOS to no support for Vista.
    I think that it should be possible to install Vista after a update of the BIOS.

    But know that you will ask for the new version of the BIOS. Am I wrong? ;)

    Well, on the page of the Toshiba BIOS, you should find different versions of BIOS.
    It is very important that you check the more info option you will resume the BIOS updated. You will find information on the compatibility of the BIOS (not every version is compatible with all units).

    But as you know that Vista is not official on the market. As I remember, it should be possible to buy the operating system in January 2007.
    I think Toshiba will present a new version of BIOS for Vista in next time. So I hope ;)

    Question may be stupid, but why do you want to update the BIOS?
    Do you have problems with your machine.

    New version of the BIOS has no some special advantages, but there is a risk if something goes wrong, you can damage the BIOS and then you have a big problem.

    If your laptop works well and you are happy with it, don't change anything.

    I have a SATELLITE U400-10 oC (PSU40E-00R00EG3). It is an old product, but once I always love use regularly.

    Recently, I bought a battery for this device upgrade. Unfortunately, it does not recognize the laptop. The work of the battery, but I don't you all information about the charge level. I tried various tricks 'reset' (removing ACPI Microsoft in the list of the drivers installed, running down the battery completely etc..).
