• Satellite A500 emit after bios update 1.50

  Hey guys and girls,

  I have some problems after the update of the bios. Before the update my laptop has been the scene of much smoother and everything was fine and dandy until Tempro told me to update my bios. The problem is that after the update, the temperature seems to be considerably higher as usual when I play the game (I am a gamer) and also all the games I play seems to be much slower than before (lower, gal frame rate). Before the update I could play Dragon Age Origins with 1366 x 768 with 4 x anti-aliasing and the only one that I could get the same performance with the graphic parameter above is on 800 x 600. Now, it is certainly a big problem for someone who is a graphics junkie when it comes to games.

  * What do you think I should do? *

  A. downgrade my bios for when I bought everything first? (I don't know what version of bios is if anyone knows the stock bios?)
  B. perform HARD drive recovery?
  C. clean install of Windows 7 64-bit?

  My laptop computer spec:

  Model name: Satellite A500
  Part number: PSAR3E-00N005EN
  Serial number: X9206227K
  OS version: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium edition
  BIOS version: 1.50
  Physical memory: 4096MB RAM
  Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce GT 230 M

  Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

  Hi mate

  I think you had a version of BIOS 1.30
  In older versions of the BIOS update are not available on the Toshiba driver download page. Only ASP (partner) has access to these early BIOS versions

  In any case, I found an interesting thread:

  Not sure if it could be useful but check

  PS; the graphics card driver update is a good idea it too check

• Satellite A500 - overheating after BIOS update to 1.50

  Hi, I hope someone can help me.

  I updated the Bios to version 1.50 a few days ago and now the laptop overheats and stops after a few minutes, when I play a game (Day of Defeat Source btw, it is not the newest and shouldn't be a problem). This problem occurred for the first time after the update. There was no problem with the temperature with V1.20 before.

  Is it possible to downgrade the bios V1.20? Where can I download the necessary file? I can just download the latest version on Toshibas website.
  I have already asked the support of aid, but they did not send me a response up to now...

  Thanks for your replies! :)

  Hi Flex Barker,

  Are you sure that this problem is really caused due to update BIOS? Normally, these overheating problems are caused by the old thermal grease or dust often due to the radiator. In my opinion, you should try to clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.
  Check this box!

  Downgrade of BIOS is normally not possible. Older versions of BIOS, you can get your local authorized service provider. :)

  Thank you and I hope you can help me...

  Hello

  The version of the BIOS should be mentioned in the BIOS settings.
  Turn on the device, press F2 and verify the version here.

  Also I recommend the settings of the BIOS back to default settings.
  In the BIOS settings, you will need to press F9 to get the default value. Then save the changes and exit the BIOS.
  Restart the machine and check how many processes are running in the context of the BONE.

  I recommend disabling of certain non-essential processes in msconfig.
  There, you can go to the Startup tab and could uncheck the unnecessary process.

• Qosmio X 500 - NEW BIOS update - 1.90

  Found a new BIOS update 1.9 on the Australian from Toshiba Web site. This morning, it showed version 1.40, but now it says version 1.90. I'll try it on my 500 X when I go home tonight, see if that solves the Sleep-wake up question.

• Satellite A500 - 149 - graphics card problem

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500-149 and last week my screen has scratches ace.

  The grapichs card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650.

  I send the computer to Toshiba yesterday but I need feedback because a repair. If the same graph as problem could cost to repair?

  Anyone know?

  I think that no one here can help you. Either is defective graphics card or screen may only.
  In any case, if the GPU is defective, it will be quite expensive.

  I think you should contact Toshiba service and ask what is the result of the diagnosis and how much you have to pay for the repair.

  So the light must be turned on. Then, you can set the backlight on the keyboard to Auto.
  Then the keyboard would hit any key.
  When you use FN + (keyboard sign (Z)), keyboard backlight turns off / Alternatively

• Satellite M65: New Bios Update for Vista?

• Satellite A200-23W - is it a new BIOS update?

  My bios version is v2.60 day 28/08/2008.
  I think that this must be an old man.

  As I can't find anything for A200 (toshiba takes in charge only A300 and then..) is there a new version?
  I use Win 7 64 bit and I have no serious problem right now.

  Thank you

  > I use Win 7 64 bit and I have no serious problem right now.
  So why do you need to update the BIOS?
  I would update the BIOS ONLY if my laptop wouldn't not stable or would develop some problems

  In addition the A200 is an old series of notebook and the drivers and other updates are in the region of Archive on the European driver Toshiba page
  For this list, you can choose to Archive in the first option (in the form of driver download) called product Type

  Hello

  ACPI-> Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
  ACPI defines hardware and software interfaces that allow focus on the OS configuration and power management to enumerate and configure motherboard devices.
  For example: ACPI is necessary for the standby and hibernation mode.

  Now your question; the new BIOS has been updated and configured to using VISTA.
  It seems that VISTA was not compatible with the previous version of BIOS because the ACPI interface. Now you can install Vista on the laptop, but it seems that you need a driver. Possibly new chipset driver version might help. But as you probably know, the drivers are not available at this time. Unfortunately

• Satellite L670-143 - new BIOS available, but what's new?

  Since yesterday I get a notice from Toshiba Bulletin Board that a new version of the BIOS is available, version 2.30 - WIN dated from 14/02/12.

  Given that I am trying hard and wonder if Toshiba allows users to change the Wifi card by default, I'm interested in what this BIOS update is needed for, if it wasn't for allowing users to install their preferred Wifi adapter I'm totally happy with my current version of BIOS and won't update something that brings something of new or improve anything.

  For this purpose: is their any page where people can find out what is new in a new update of the BIOS?
  Everything we always get is compressed form. Exe and prechewed message "this update of the Bios adds increased system functionality" on the page to download... but nothing concrete information.

  Hello Moose

  In one thing, I agree with you: don t change the BIOS if there is no former radical problem or the system in general. Many people here have reported on the various problems after BIOS update so if you are happy with your laptop and if everything goes perfectly don t change anything.

  Problem is that on the European download page you will find information on the update of the BIOS. In other words there is nothing new in the latest version of the BIOS.
  It is interesting that Toshiba US offers you this info so I m me where difference between offered things in US and Europe is to ask. I m not an expert for this stuff but there may be reasons relating to the protection of law or customers. I put t know.

  What you can do if you have a little time, is to visit the US page under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp > download, find a similar pattern with the same BIOS update and check if you can find useful information here.

  At the end once more: don t change anything, if everything works well. I have 2 years old Satellite P500 and use with BIOS and original recovery image. It works perfectly. Best Toshiba laptop I've had over the last 10 years.
