Satellite 1950 - I can't update Bios

Hello

I just got a Toshiba SAT. 1950 second hand. (1 GB of ram, 2.4 ghz, 160 GB hd)
I noticed that he needs a bios update, but the hard drive does not work.

So I downloaded the BIOS file - V150.exe (768.748 13.12.2002 14:07), started the exe on another computer.
extract the files on the disk, files on USB drive and started the Freedos USB.

The depacked files are:
all. ROM 524.288 25.11.2002 07:29 - a. -
ALMBDD08. BIN 2,495 06.06.2002 12:40 - has-
ATR60. BEATS 43 08.06.2002 13:15 - a. -
Autoexec.bat 262 13.12.2002 13:26 - a. -
PHLASH. EXE 74.249 24.05.2001 12:32 - a -.

I tried to run ATR60. BAT for updating the BIOS.
The phlash bios update screen appears but HANGS on the identification of the eeprom.
The only thing I can do is to turn off the laptop and try again, with the same result.

Where can I get a BIOS adequate up-to-date?

Hello!

I think you should try it using an external floppy drive.

On the Toshiba site, I can find the following information:
1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
2. Insert a 1.44 MB diskette formatted in the floppy drive.
3 run the *.exe extracted to the temporary folder. Follow the instructions on the screen. A BIOS update diskette will be generated
4. make sure that the laptop is plugged into the sector.
5. turn off the laptop.
6. Insert the diskette containing the BIOS upgrade in drive A: and turn on the laptop.
7. follow the on-screen instructions.
8. when the procedure is finished, remove the disk and reboot the laptop.

Good bye

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro A300 (PSAG9E) - after updating BIOS Windows will not start

    Restart went well after update BIOS and Windows XP logo appears loads for a few seconds then a beep and restart - last good known or start Windows normally same effect.
    Reboot back to start - this is a new laptop - using the BIOS of Toshiba s official download site.

    Quite annoyed to try to find a way to upgrade or downgrade the BIOS.
    Took battery and RAM to see if I can delete it?

    Any ideas anyone?

    I think you mean BIOS * update * and do not upgrade ;)
    An upgrade is not possible

    However, you can try to remove the battery and the AC adapter and wait an hour. After that, reconnect the battery and the AC adapter and try to start Windows.
    Moreover I would load the default settings in the BIOS before starting Windows.

    If it doesn't work, it seems that your ROM module needs to be reflashed. In this case an ASP can help you.

  • Satellite click Mini L9W - B can download updated BIOS

    I get the message that there is error of TPM secure entering (missing or disabled), hollow, I have this TPM in the Security section of the Bios, but I can't change.

  • Re: Satellite A500-1GL - Can t Access BIOS aftre updated

    Hello
    I have a laptop A500-1GL.
    Yesterday, I checked that the drivers download page, just to check if there is something new. and I noticed that there was a new version of the BIOS.

    My old BIOS:
    SystemBiosVersion: 1.6
    SystemBiosDate: 05/06/10

    the Web site was:
    Version: 1.7
    Date: 29/07/10

    So, I downloaded this file and flashed the BIOS... after the reboot, I checked the "regedit". and the version was changed to 1.7, but the date remains the same (05/06/10)!

    Now, this isn't a big problem - I know, but I wanted to check the BIOS configuration (before the start).
    So I restarted the laptop, you press "DEL"... nothing happened, went straight to Windows!
    I tried again, with F1, F2 ~ F12... anyway.
    So, how can I access the BIOS Setup screen? I tried re-flashing the BIOS again, but he keep saying that I already have the new version, so I can't flash.

    any ideas?

    Hello

    > So, I restarted the laptop, you press "DEL"... nothing happened, went straight to Windows!

    It looks at, start fast, active in the Bios. Read this thread, the Andrusito guy explained how he has disabled it:

    You have what Windows OS installed.
    It is Win XP?

    Update the BIOS needs an installation of the common Modules, so don't forget not that the common Modules are installed or this software update.
    The CM is on the page of the European driver Toshiba

    In addition, the P0044v370.exe unpacks the package I recommend creating a folder on the desktop and to decompress the files in P0044v370.exe first. Then move to this new folder and run the exe file in the folder.

  • Satellite A-C50-1JU - manually updated BIOS

    Hi Forum,

    is their any chance of updating the bios manually? The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-1JU with part number: PSCJEE. The Toshiba Service Station brings to each time a service error. Another update from the site Web DM10S140.exe crashes every time. I tried the compatibility mode, startet it as administrator, but never the actual accident itself. Operating system windows 8.1 and anti-virus is disabled. What I have now? Thanks for any help.

    Edit, sorry postet in the wrong section please move: (.)

    I think Toshiba Service Station is a tool not so important but interesting. If your laptop works well and stabile you don't need updates. Maybe it sounds silly now, but I use two laptops from Toshiba with the factory settings and without updates. The first is 5 years old and it is running Win7. The other is model Tecra, 3 years and also preloaded with Win7.

    All I have install Windows are updated. The first thing I did after installing recovery image is the deactivation of these tools like Toshiba Service Station.
    Believe me, you can live without it.

    In the end I have to say that I'm also sure that updating the BIOS won't help you any. The BIOS update has nothing to do with the Toshiba Service Station feature.

  • Satellite L500 (PSLS9A-01U012) - better update BIOS 1.6?

    It's just a small thing, but my last PC Toshiba laptop has the option to boot from USB. I could boot a Linux and Windows from a USB key, and it was great. So here's my question. Is it possible to boot from USB without a BIOS update?

    Well, I know that the answer is probably no, so I'll ask the question. Thinking that there is an update for my BIOS, I visited the mytoshiba.com.au website and discovered that the only available update is that I currently have. Then I went on the site of decision-makers (Pheonix) BIOS, who headed biosagentplus.com, which scanned my computer to check updates. He claims that it is a new BIOS update available, but I must register and PAY for an annual subscription to just the chance to see what is the version number of this release. So my question is, where is this "update" and it supports boot from USB?

    Thank you.

    Hi Hambo,

    The fact is that not all laptop computers support booting from the USB device and if it s possible is described in your user manual.
    As far as I know it is only possible to boot from the USB on Satellite L500 floppy drive, but not USB key

    Also the BIOS update does that fix bugs and add new features for I n t see a reason to make the point.
    But if you make an update of the BIOS at any time, you must download site Web from Toshiba to form. This is the only site where you can get a compatible BIOS.

  • Re: Satellite L500-1WH stuck when updating BIOS

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-1HW, and today TEMPRO shown to me three alerts, one of them on a BIOS update. When I tried to run the application to update the BIOS (Phoenix UEFI WinFlash) he completed the first four steps, "Load the new BIOS", "Analyze old and new BIOS compatibility ', 'Reading old BIOS' and 'Save old BIOS to the backup file', but when he reached the stage of the las,"New Flash BIOS", he got stuck displaying the message 'Region of programming Bios... '. ». Now the laptop is turned on and in fact I can use it as the application of the BIOS update does not block the system, but I don't know what to do, I dare not just to finalize the program because I don't know if the BIOS is right.

    Please help me with this problem.

    Thank you.

    Hey,.

    Do you have any other programs like Internet browser, Skype or something else? All programs must be closed before you start the update of the BIOS, even AntiVirus, firewall, etc. In addition, the update should be done as an administrator

    In General, the BIOS update is not necessary. If only TEMPRO presents a new version, there is no reason to update. Never touch a running system ;)
