Satellite A500 - what are the changes in the BIOS 1.90

Hello

I own a Satellite A500 PSAR3A-026002. He has BIOS version 1.50, the Toshiba site, it shows the latest version as 1.90. I would like to know what was changed from 1.50 to 1.90 but do not find the information anywhere. I was wondering if someone could tell me the changes or direct me to a site that has them.

Not planning on upgrading BIOS at this point that everything works fine, just curious what they updated, corrected or added.

Hello

This information is not published on the European driver Toshiba page.
But you can visit the Toshiba page we.
I found some of the series Satellite A500 and details about the BIOS versions.
But right now the BIOS 1.9 is not available on the US Just the v1.8 page.

However, if your laptop works properly I wouldn't change anything.

    And what is the Flash Media Driver?

    The exact model and specifications of my laptopl isn't important ine relatively to this question and I realize that none of these things are certified for use with Windows 7, but this really isn't the point; I don't know what they are used to with Windows Vista or XP or.

    Respect of your question, but for the EXACT description, someone here must have a lot of time and try to explain it all. The functionality of certain tools is quite complex and you can play around with these tools to see what they offer and what you can do with it.

    My brief description of the tools here, I know:

    * Toshiba Assist *.
    Is a small tool where you can find shortcuts to the key tools and utilities.
    With these tools, you can optimize and customize the operating system preinstalled

    * ConfigFree *.
    Is a tool that helps you identify problems with LAN/WLAN connectivity. To find out what it is and how it works read help option.
    There you can find guide of how to use it.

    * Desktop SMS *.
    Should help you send SMS via Outlook or Windows mail - http://www.comunified.com/

    * Fingerprint software *.
    If the laptop comes with fingerprint sensor, this tool is for the registration of fingerprints.

    * Hardware Toshiba of installation *.
    Just open it and check all the available settings.
    Sorry, but it is not necessary to write some explanations.

    * Online product information *.
    Simply open and you will understand what it is.

    * SD utilities *.
    Format SD memory card installed, and you can format the cards you use in multi-card
    (the location where you put the cards compatible and readable)

    * Driver SPS *.
    SPS driver required for DVD playback software, if you want to upgrade your operating system.
    Otherwise the won´t of DVD playback works.

    * Supervisor password utility *.
    If you want to create a supervisor password (locks complete BIOS or allows other users to change certain features in the BIOS).
    Not required for the features, just a security feature/add-on.

    * Tempro *.
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/generic/TEMPO_RELEASE_V1/

    * Tiles for Mobility Center *.
    is a Toshiba from the Toshiba Assist plugin and the other will lock the computer (like pressing Fn + F1).
    You will find in the Windows Mobility Center

    * Value added package *.
    To make things more easy Toshiba packed 7 different tools in one package. In the past, each tool has been installed separately.
    Now, using a setup.exe that each of them will be installed. VAP contains:
    -Toshiba components pilot common
    -Toshiba Utilities
    -Toshiba PC Diagnostic tool
    -Toshiba Power Saver
    -Toshiba Button support
    -Toshiba zooming utility
    -Toshiba Flash cards

    Flash media driver should help settle the multi-card reader.

    One last thing:
    Normally Don t you need to update a driver. most of the components are installed immediately after a clean install of Win7. Just update those remaining. If you are not experienced in the use of certain applications or installation of drivers, it would be the best way to allow Win7 install your machine.

    Bye and good luck!

  • 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?

  • Some keys on the keyboard for Satellite A500-025 are strange

    My Toshiba Satellite A500-025 has a keyboard with strange symbols on it. The back key on the right side of the keyboard is also a vertical rectangular key with 2 keys between the key containing the semicolon and the return key which is too far.

    On other Toshiba keyboards I've seen in stores, the return key is a horizontal rectangular key with that one key between the semicolon and the return key. Anyone know why I have this strange configuration on my keyboard?

    Thank you

    To be honest I don't know on which keys you mean exactly, but I think you should consult your dealer and ask what it can be.
    If you want to discuss about it here please make the photo of your keyboard and mark them with red circle, what do you mean exactly.

    I don't know what other Toshiba keyboards you mean but fact is that the Satellite A500 is Toshiba the first laptop with screen 16 delivered with larger keyboard, including the numeric keypad.

    BizTalk installation does nothing to SQL Server, but make BizTalk Configuration. When configure us BizTalk on any SQL Server (same or different), it creates the required databases and SQL Server works on this server.

  • Linksys E3200 - what are the parameters that I need to change to get the full speed wireless?

    Hello, I never had a router before.

    I just bought Linksys E3200, because I need a wireless connection on my HTPC.

    I only put a password for my network. Don't touch or changed the factory settings.

    My main PC is connected to a router via a network cable,

    my HTPC is wiresly connected using the Linksys EA2500 wireless network card. I had a wireless connection.

    However, my internet speed on my main PC (cable) is COMPLETE and about 50 Mbit/s.

    Wireless on my HTPC is max 10 Mbpsspeed.

    My modem, router, main PC and HTPC are in the same room next to the other.

    What is the problem? What are the setting do you recommend to change?

    Thank you.

    Ensure that networks in the router (5 GHz and 2.4 GHz) have unique names on the other. This way you will know what network the HTPC is connected to. After making sure that the two networks have unique names, change the channel to the network of 2,4 GHz. try 1, 3, 6 or 9.

    Is it that no matter what version is still running Oracle, which has not yet officially launched with oracle?

    Hello

    I think that the most important changes are:
    1. move on Weblogic Server.
    2. creation of a unified period. Which means that everything plugs into it. SOA, BPM, OSB, B2B...

    Additional features like the NDA: Composites within network-based event. SDO: Service Data Objects to transfer information and from db, adf (if I'm not mistaken)
    Tighter integration with the ADF.

    A few extensions to BPEL. Such as the events of Signal etc. Don't know if it's standard or specific to Oracle extension.

  • Change HDD to the SSD, what are the options?

    Hi guys, new to the forum, I just bought a thinkpad x130e during a sales event on one of the local retailer, pretty excited, because I like the rugged design.

    I am looking to upgrade to 320G HDD for one SSD 128G... but I have no installation disc 7 windows very practical, so, what are the options for me to install the operating system (windows 7).

    I don't know if there is a way to transfer the whole of the SSD HARD drive? is there a trick to perform? or quite simply, I just bought the new copy of windows?

    COS, I noticed that I have a windows7 pro product key at the bottom of my thinkpad, I kinda don't want to lose money.

    Help, please...

    You don't need to buy another copy of Win7. You will need

    1 SSD. It has to be is not 7mm thick, the most common 9.5 mm thick.

    2 USB box for your HARD drive,

    3. software to "clone" the content of your disk to your SSD. Acronis True Image is a well-respected package that does this. There are also a few free utilities that can do this, however, I'm not familiar with them.

    Procedure:

    1. move the HARD disc on the outer envelope.

    2 put the SSD in the X130e.

    3 reboot from the HARD disk. (You need to interrupt the boot with the blue ThinkVantage button to specify).

    4. install Acronis (or equivalent).

    5 RIP clone disk. You will have to tell the software how you resize partitions because you go to a smaller drive.

    6 restart from SSD.

  • Moving countries and Apple ID: what are the pitfalls?

    I saw how to change Apple ID information if I change country (which I intend to do, moving from the Netherlands to the France). However, it is difficult to find up-to-date information about what is happening exactly to the goods I bought on my 'old' (that is to say, current) account: apps, books, music.

    1 will I be able to listen/read/use them without further delay?

    2. There is a comment saying that apps will not appear in the section "purchased." Fine. But if I have an app on my machine, installed, used, etc., will still be the automatic update of the work? Or is the version of this frozen application?

    In general: what are the pitfalls I should know if I change the country?  (The question relate not only to iTunes for Mac, but also for my both my iPod and IOS devices.)

    Before changing countries make sure that you have downloaded and saved all your previous country store purchases.  You will not be able to re - download it again once you change of country and it won't be easy to change the country to another once you lose your mode of payment for the old country (such as a waiting period).  As long as you have on your computer you'll be fine.

    Change your iTunes Store country or region - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201389 - "After changing the country of your account, you won't see what you bought the previous country store in the purchase section."

    I can't change the country in my iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store or Mac App Store account - https://support.apple.com/HT204447

  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes game against external hard drive, Solid State etc. to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

    First question: what are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes Match against Solid State external hard drive etc to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

    Please let me know what are the alternatives for storage of my songs, playlists, song etc. other than iTunes game ratings ($ 24.99 / year)?  Is there a way to store all my songs with my song ratings, playlists, etc. with a CD song quality? Most of my (currently 130 GB) songs on my computer are CD quality that I prefer to keep as well as my notes of each song (i.e. 5 * vs. 4 * etc.), playlists, groups (music, classical, popular, country etc.).  What are the advantages and disadvantages to store my iTunes songs while CD quality with my personal notes, reading lists, groupings in the cloud?  ICloud of Apple Drive ($ 2.99 per month or $36 / year for 200 GB) would be the best way to automatically update and maintain my rankings iTunes personal including the future editions of the song etc or using Amazon, IBM, Microsoft etc cloud or an external hard drive SSD would work as well and maybe cheaper?  I currently have my iTunes on a PC of 2007 with vista (I use a 1 8T Western Digital external upward by car for my personal info all over HP, songs, photos etc. which is currently close to 170 GB) but also have an Apple i-phone 6 & I Air cushion.  Although I did not need to have all of my music with all their sides, etc. available on all of my devices at all times as iTunes game, I still would have easy access to information on both my PC and my iPhone or iPad?  Thank you.

    In my opinion?

    I back up my data to an external drive for several reasons.  The first is my data - if I put on the cloud, someone else has control over it, they can see what I have and change the preferences to what they see of marketing.

    Almost as important as that - if I had to rely on the cloud whenever I wanted to update my playlists on my phone, I need a better internet connection I have now (working at sea).  To get the best out of the cloud, you need a solid link to home, work or mobile.

    As a spin-off - I hate the fact that Apple take away a feature in their software updates and then allow an app to be sold in their store to replace this feature - or worse still, some features that were available before the updates are now "cloud only."  And Yes - you have to pay for the cloud.  I like most of the people do not appreciate the 'accomplished fact. "

    From the back of the external hard drive ASI downside, is that to be safe, you need to store outside in a separate computer place.  If keep you them together, if one is lost, probably, they are both.  That is to say for me a full backup before you travel, then a new upward as soon as I go home.  Downside is how much data may be lost between the two back ups if I needed to restore.  For me, its worth the risk.  If I was away and say had bought a ton of new music and couldn't go home anytime soon, I can always head to the store and buy a new external drive, they are massively expensive.  Even if my computer has to go for repair and my remote is to halfway around the world - I want to buy a new one.

    Now, some will say that once you buy a new external, you spend more than you would on a cloud subscription.  It's true, but in the 6 years following the purchase of Mac that I've only had to buy a new external once - so with a little luck and planning - it works.

    I left took well - I am not a subscriber of cloud, nor do I want to be.
