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?

    Hello

    Your OS windows seems not to be the Windows which was preinstalled on your Portege
    You cannot update the BIOS by using the windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64

    You will need to put the system which has been pre-installed by Toshiba

    Hello Daniel,.

    I'm a little confused about your message from Mr.

    What s wrong with the BIOS?

    The support from Toshiba said-> try a BIOS update.
    On the Toshiba page, you can download the BIOS for Satellite A40.

    It seems you didn't check the download page detailed because on this page you will find this statement:
    IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07

  • Satellite Pro 4220 - update the BIOS does not start

    Hello!

    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.

    I did the following:
    1 download/have unzipped the package v1.60 since the BIOS page on a non-bootable floppy disk empty
    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?

    Best regards

    Pete v.

    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:

  • DCC - cannot update the BIOS via command line settings

    I'm script an automated installation of Bitlocker on Windows 7 and 8.1 systems (company).  I use the last DCC and programs CCTK that came with it.  Systems have the latest BIOS updates, and are fully patched.

    I managed with several test systems (Win7, desktop computers, laptop computers (different models)).  I tried my scripts this morning on a laptop computer Win8.1 (Dell E6330) and as soon as my script runs to the addition of the password of the BIOS needed to make TPM changes ("cctk - setuppwd =" "") I get the following error:

    The required BIOS interfaces is not found on this system.

    I get the same error when running any other command CCTK used in my script:
    CCTK - tpm =-valsetuppwd =
    Activate CCTK - tpmactivation = - valsetuppwd =

    When I restart in the BIOS, no password has been set (all parameters are say no 'set') and the secure platform module is inactive.

    I updated to the latest BIOS (A14) and I get the above error message.  I know that orders CCTK I have scripted are correct, because they work on other systems.

    I wonder what could be the problem with this notebook and how I can come up with a solution.

    Thoughts?  Suggestions?

    Thank you!

    -Greg

    Just a quick update to let everyone know how I solved this:

    I had to install HAPI.

    On all other facilities that I have tested, just have the HAPI subfolder in the folder where CCTK. EXE was hosted was sufficient for work.  But for some reason some, in this case, once I installed HAPI and then ran my scripts again, they finished without a problem.

    I hope this helps someone else.  Seemed to be a solution simply absurd, but it is what it is.

  • Satellite Pro A60 - update the BIOS without OS

    I have a Satellite Pro A60, trying to install XP pro but says he needs the BIOS update, downloaded the new update, unzipped and that one file, will not start until no bootable files.

    There is currently no OS on the laptop, I understand that I need an ISO file but where is she... !...

    Hello

    Why you need to update the BIOS?
    I doubt that XP installation says that you need to update.

    Normally the update of the BIOS is a bit risky and must be that if she of really necessary. In addition the update of the BIOS can only be done from Windows. There is no DOS version, they available only authorized for service providers.

  • Portege R700 - cannot update the BIOS

    Hello
    I recently bought a Portege R700 19 M and I downloaded the latest BIOS version available in the Toshiba support page and when I run the .exe file, it does not work with this message: "the computer is not supported.
    And when I look in the HWSetup Toshiba tool, it does not display the BIOS version but some weird characters (letters not usual) so I can't find out which version is installed.
    Thank you for your help

    Hey Buddy,

    You update the BIOS to the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?
    Are you logged on as administrator when you try the update?

    To be honest I doubt a problem to update the BIOS because I found other threads where users report that BIOS update was successful.

  • Tecra M3 PTM30E - cannot update the BIOS

    Hello

    I can't install my new Bios on the Tecra M3 PTM30E-09X01LEN system.
    The message says: not supported.

    Why?

    I put t he understand.

    Hello

    First of all, I want to ask you why you want to update the BIOS?
    You have some problems with the laptop that could be solved by the BIOS updated?

    Also what BIOS you use and where did you find and download?

    The Tecra M3 PTM30E seems to be a European model and the BIOS must be placed on the European driver Toshiba page.

    I checked the page and there are two versions of the BIOS;
    BIOS 1.20 - WIN-FBCF is only for the models with filter virtual control of Angle (FBCF)
    The BIOS 1.50 - WIN is for models WITHOUT filter the virtual control of Angle (FBCF)

    Seems that you used the wrong BIOS!

    It is a statement of the BIOS update:

    1. step:
    Use a (not bootable) 1.4 MB 3.5 "floppy and copy the BIOS files on it."
    2. step:
    Turn off the machine, turn it on by now pressed the F12 key
    and choose to boot from the diskette.
    For more recent machines, press the ALT key and the SPACEBAR

  • 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

  • Qosmio G30 PQG31E - no driver XP 32? Cannot update the BIOS?

    As usual, obtained a computer laptop, but no recovery CD :(

    Got 32 installed XP (my Microsoft contract does not MCE) but a lot of missing drivers. Driver Toshiba page has all the drivers for XP MCE, XP 32 has only BIOS update, Bluetooth, HD - DVD firmwares, the virtual sound and drivers WI - FI!

    So I tought "Vista on this issue", but I checked the compatibility XP with Vista DVD I got a 'need to update the BIOS' (always a 1.40-2006/03/10)!
    My problem is that BIOS update always returns "this computer is not supported! Laptop has only one account, this isn't permissions problem, perhaps because many drivers are not present? Can I update the BIOS in safe mode?

    What now? Am stuck with a brick of Qosmio? Without controllers LAN to say the least, I can't not fact! Drivers XP MCE does work on XP 32?

    Any thoughts?

    Hello

    I found all the Win XP drivers for Qosmio G30 PQG31E!
    On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the Win XP MCE drivers
    XP MCE drivers are the same drivers for Win XP Home or Pro.

    There are also some BIOS 3, 90-WIN and this BIOS is operating system independent. In other words, it works with Win XP and Vista...

    To update the BIOS the common Module must be installed
    You can find also on the European driver Toshiba page!

    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
