• Satellite A500 - update BIOS with dead battery

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A500 (PSAR3E) laptop and I need to update the BIOS to the latest version.
  Unfortunately, my battery died completely, and I have no chance to get a working one.

  I was trying to update the bios all day, but no matter how I try (even created a boot back drive and took command line phlash16, /forceit and so on) it keeps telling me that he needs at least 10% charged battery present.

  How can this problem be solved?

  > If I remove the battery, engine update fails, say there is no battery present, if I fix the battery, then update will fail saying the battery must be at least 10% - but he died, this percentage is 0.
  And you write about original Win version that you have downloaded from the Toshiba BIOS download page and started in Windows?

  To be honest is unclear to me that there is a trick to avoid this situation.
  Maybe something stupid, but now, do you really need to install the update to the BIOS?
  Is there a problem with your machine?

  > Is it possible to adjust the speed of the fan of this laptop? As I saw in PC Health monitor the fan speed is mainly of 0%, and sometimes it amounts to 70% (on idling) and make a big enough noise

  I agree with you, I also own a500-1dn and it makes big noise even while surfing Internet. This forum was suggested to update Bios to reduce the fan noise.

• Satellite L750D - update BIOS 2.1 and its problem

  Hello

  I have little problem. I was downloaded from your website 2.1 BIOS for Toshiba Satellite L750D (PSK32E).

  I have been updating BIOS 2.1 and start the problem with the sound. When I start the game, music or else minutes 2 first sound plays correctly but then it stops without reason. No noise at all. I've been reinstalled op system but the problem is still there.

  Sound works for 2 minutes only then is completely off. Each application to start with sound plays 2 minutes and stop all silent is. I did a probe on my laptop the mother she s a computer portable twin. I have updated bios same problem 2 minutes and then no sound. My OS is win 8 64 pro my laptop mother is with win 7 x 64 premium.

  Two BIOS updated ver 2.1 on L750D and the problem is the same. Please fix the BIOS.

  The BIOS seems to be very old. I was released nearly 1.5 years ago, so to be honest, I doubt that his and BIOS problem.

  I had the similar problem with my other laptop equipped with a Realtek sound card.
  The sound appeared after connection and remove the headphone jack
  But I could solve this latest installation updated audio driver the Realtek driver page.

  But it seems that your Satellite does not support Realtek audio chip but the Conexant audio chip.
  Therefore, the solution could not be useful for you.

  However, I think that you need to update the audio driver. I recommend you google for driver Conexant SmartAudio HD and test the latest version of the driver available.
  On the internet, I find the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver version 8.65.9.51 for Win 7 / 8 Win / Win 8.1
  Not quite sure if this is the latest version, but you can test it.

  To manually update your driver:

  1. go into the Device Manager (right click on my computer, choose manage and then find Device Manager in the left panel)
  2. right click on the device you want to update and choose Update driver software
  3. choose Select the location of the new driver manually and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the driver

• Satellite T135 - update BIOS 2.70 won't be finished

  I have a Satellite T135 Win7 running with an original BIOS that I'm moving to 2.70. I ran all the other software updates in Service Station (2.1.51) with no problems. but the BIOS downloads 2.7, initiates and cautions that I'll need to reboot (I select Yes to execute) and receive notice of popup on the electrical problem (defective DC) which corrects this BIOS, then nothing. It just stops.

  I disabled my firewall windows antivirus, but the update is still unable to fill. I downloaded the file directly from Toshiba (outside the Service Station) and run the file and exactly the same thing happens.
  The event viewer shows all the related entries.

  Anyone has an idea on how to get the updated BIOS up-to-date?

  Hi mwarwick,

  Did you install any new version of package of added value of the Web from Toshiba site? This program is necessary if you want to update the BIOS to check if you have installed the latest version.

  In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS before doing the update. Then, go into the BIOS, press F9 to load the default values, save & exit it.

  Can update you the BIOS now?

• Satellite A500-138 - how to change the fan speed?

  Hello

  I have a question how to I change the fan on my A500 speed?

  I mean with power of change in BIOS, I don't have the option advanced on my BIOS so I can't change that... Any ideas?

  > I mean with power of change in BIOS, I don't have the option advanced on my BIOS so I can't change that... Any ideas?

  You cannot change fan speed yourself, because there is no option in the Bios. I also tried to change with utilities like a fan speed control utility. But I couldn't stand it. Perhaps, someday they will out of the Bios with support for fan speed control. :)

  - And thank you

  Kind regards
  Pedro Marthon

  Hello PedroMarthon.

  Are you currently overclocking the graphics card?

  In order to solve this problem, I think you should uninstall third-party drivers and use the official drivers for Windows 7 and the workaround posted by my peers.  The reason I suggest, is that the use of third-party drivers could cause strange problems and it will be easier to solve the problem.

  What I would say is remove the third-party drivers and then using the method posted in my response above.  Once the process is complete, I would try and then update the BIOS again.  If successful, you can remove Windows 7 drivers and again use your third-party drivers.  However, I'm not against the use of third-party drivers.

  I appreciated the way in which you have been given to work with me, so I went to come your messages of congratulations.  If you think that I was helpful please click the White Star under my name to give my messages of congratulations.  I would really appreciate it!

  I will keep an eye out for your next answer.  I wish you a nice day!

• BIOS update solved the Portege M400 fan noise

  The new version of BIOS (1.8) for Portege M400 solves the problem of fan noise. The Readme.txt explains that the temperature will rise only in three degrees. Very important, very recommended patch for users of M400.

  Now I can use my tablet in my business meetings without having to give explanations to customers of the fan noise.

  Greetings.

  Hello Jose

  It is very nice to hear that you are happy now. I read your previous assignments and I can understand you this annoying issue with cooling fan, but now you can see this laptop manufacturer is trying to make the product better, even if the product is on the market.

  I am also certain that customer s comments can help identify the problem if persist und after this systematic search for the solution or change for the better.

• Envy 17 3010eg: upgrade to Windows 8 and update Bios: no switchable graphics and other problems

  Hello

  I'm of the Germany, but I'll do my best to write this in English.

  The product name and number: HP Envy 17 3010eg {information}

  Operating system: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

  Drivers: everything up to date

   

  Long story short,

  I just wanted to upgrade the pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit to the new Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.

  So I waited until the driver for Windows 8 support has been completed by HP.

  This month, I noticed that HP has released a graphic driver for Windows 8.

  Happy as I was I installed Windows 8 immediately via upgrade function.

  I installed all the missing drivers.

  * Update Bios to F.08*

  I noticed that I had to upgrade my Bios to version F.08 to install new graphics drivers. I did the upgrade and installation of the driver.

  BUT after the update to the version of the Bios the laptop only F.08 recognized the AMD graphics card. The integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics card had disappeared!

  Even after installing the new graphics driver, the Intel card is still missing in the 'Device Manager' of Windows 8.

  The battery life is now about 1 1/2 to 2 hours maximum because the laptop always uses the card AMD.

  So I looked in the 'new' Bios, but I have not found a way to change the graphics card. So I think that there is only a 'software' switch to do so.

  I have installed "AIDA64"and look under "Graphics".» The graphics card Intel HD 3000 has been mentioned as 'disabled'.

  Nice, but I have no idea how to turn it on again.

  So I re-installed Windows 8. This time, I did a completely clean install. With the same results.

  So, I switched to Windows 7, and there you go. Two graphics cards are displayed in "Device Manager" and the switchable graphics feature works perfectly (! even with the new version of the Bios F.08!).

  * Tested in Bios Version F.09*

  Yesterday, I noticed another Bios Update. This time in version F.09.

  So, I updated the Bios with Windows 7 installed.

  Everything went well (I thought!).

  Once, I've done a completely new installation of Windows 8 to take a peek, if Intel HD 3000 card will be recognized this time.

  BUT without success...

  So, I thought that the problem could only be Windows 8, because Windows 7 works perfectly.

  * Problems with Bios Version F.09*

  BUT then, I noticed a strange behaviour of my laptop:

  -proximity sensor no longer works

  -the keyboard backlight cannot be (DIS-) activated

  -the brightness of the backlight is half as usual

  -internal fans are going crazy-> they accelerate without reason (laptop is idle) and won't slow down until I do a re-boot

  * Version of the Bios downgraded to F.05*

  So, I spent to the version of the Bios to the older Version available: F05

  And I was a little shocked by the result.

  Windows 8 acknowledged the Intel HD 3000 graphics card again!

  The problem is the Bios!

  Then, I upgraded the version of Bios version to see which version of the cause of the problem:

  Œuvres F05

  Œuvres F.06

  F.08 does not work

  F.09 does not work

   

  So I decided to stay with the version F.06

  BUT to install the new Windows graphic 8 driver you need the version of Bios F.08 (min.).

  I installed the driver anyway...

  I found myself with a black screen... I had to reinstall Windows completely.

  Yet more long story short,

  I ended up using Windows 8 Pro 64 - bit with the graphics card AMD only.

  I also updated the Bios (back) to the version F.08 dispelled the problems with the version of the Bios F.09 I mentioned.

  So for the moment I am absolutely no idea what the problem might be.

  The support has not yet heard of these problems and I have not found any website which explains the same problem.

  Every posting, I found explains that the AMD card is not recognized by Windows 8 but Intel HD card.

  Someone else got the same problems?

  What do you think? Is it really a problem with the Bios?

  What can I do to solve the problem?

  for me the best driver are:

  http://leshcatlabs.NET/

  Works Perfekt (cards during execution of the F06 BIOS and a map when F08/09) and are updated often.

• Satellite 2450 S203 fan noise problems

  Hi guys

  I had a Sat 2450 S203 since October 2003 and have recently noticed that whenever I run memory intensive programs fan noise levels are excessive and constant!

  If someone could Advisor on the replacement of the fan and know if I should do it myself. Please also comment on the impact on costs as well. Are there other ways around to get rid of this problem?

  Hello

  After this long period, your device must be cleaned properly. I guess that dust inside the unit don't allow adequate cooling and cooling fan must often runs and faster to cool the hardware components. It is not only specific for your device, but for all laptops.

  I'm sure that after cleaning, your device can take a deep breath and will work a lot better and calmer. I noticed the same thing with my Satellite P20. After cleaning the laptop runs very quiet and cooling fan just works sometimes. I'm very happy now.

• Dell studio 1558 fan noise problem

  Hello dell.

  I wonder how many people got prob with studio dell 1558, just google and found most of them (all) having prolem with the dell studio 1558 fan noise.

  What happens in my case:

  The fan noise was ok before a few weeks ago, and he started 2-3 weeks back. aaftre fans of 20-30 sec noise suddenly and during idle sound Inc. is not normal/quiet a bit different than usual.

  The fan noise is really annoying and it constantly happens not even a minute, it stops.

  So in my case I think that it may be hardware fan prob because I wasn't this prob when I bought this system may be fan is going to jam in a near future?

  It's my system config:

  Studio 1558:

  : Processor Core i3 M350 2.27 Ghz processor

  RAM: 4 GB

  Gfx card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470

  HARD DRIVE: 500 GB

  Backlit keyboard

  Slot load CD/DVD player

  P.S.: My CD/DVD drive and HARD drive recently prob SO dell replaced both.

  Thank you

  Today engineer came to my house and the replacced he fan + heatsink. Thermal paste is already on it I guess, it has not applied separately.

  Fan runs smoothly.

  Failure: in fact the outer part of the radiator is responsible for this when the engineer came out the part and he hit an outside party who is also visible (Manager) of air is broken.

  It was broken when an engineer trying to clean the fan lol.

  I've also attached the image of the broken part. Image is not good but always visible

• Satellite L500D - update BIOS, covered by warranty?

  Hi, I bought a Satellite L500D in September of last year. The weekend comes, he suggested I should keep the machine etc. updated drivers so I logged on the Toshiba web site and there was a link with * New * Bios Update, i.e. After choosing the etc. good model from the dropdown boxes.

  The update seemed to work however when the machine is re-start, he went through the boot process closed however it has not started up.

  I tried to choose the boot in SafeMode etc and tried to reinstall the backup CD, but I can't get the machine to start. I have now put the machine in to authorized service center for Toshiba to fix.

  As I followed the instructions on the web site of Toshiba is that this should be covered by the warranty?

  Thank you
