• Satellite M30 - user not allowed to update the BIOS

  I have a Satellite M30 (204, according to me, model 60 GB 1.6 GHz) and I try to update the BIOS but get the error message the "the user is not allowed to update the bios. The reason why I'm trying to update it is I just bought a 250 GB hard drive, but the BIOS does recognize that 128 GB and I guess the most up-to-date BIOS will allow the drives of this size, although I have not found any documentation for precise to say so be it.

  Someone at - it a patch to update the BIOS (I don't think I have a usb floppy drive drive anywhere) or to access the full capacity in other ways? Thank you.

  Hello

  could you please tell me what operating system you´re to help? I guess that Windows Xp...

  Usually, the update of the BIOS routine has absolutely NOTHING to do with the capacity of your hard disk drive. You are working with a limited user account? If not, I suggest right clicking on the BIOS update file and choose the option "Run as..". Subsequently a windows pop up and you ask under which user you want to run this program. Click on the "Next user" radio button and choose the administrator. If you have a password for your admin account and then type in, otherwise it should start automatically.

• Is it possible to update the BIOS for the Satellite A110 (PSAB0) and Windows7?

  Hi all

  I recently installed Windows 7 on Toshiba Satellite A110 (PSAB0).
  The version of the system BIOS is v1.30
  I want to Flash the BIOS for you last version v2.0.
  This version is released in January 2009, before the introduction of Windows 7.

  There are two versions of the BIOS download, one "for Vista only' and one 'OS independent.
  I think I have to go to the operating system independent.
  Link: [update BIOS | http://www.toshiba.nl/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EN&selCategory = 8 & selFamily = 192 & selSeries = 236 & selProduct = 661 & STAS hortMod = 478 & language = 1 = 12 & selOS & selType = 4 & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & we eDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 24 & selectedLanguage = 12 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 66230 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

  Independent of the OS has warning: + "this Bios is NOT compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista!" + "

  So here's my question: this BIOS version is compatible with Windows 7?

  Thank you very much!!

  AJ.

  Hello

  I think that this BIOS (v2.0) is not released for Windows 7 and that it has also not been tested with Windows 7. This BIOS has published 21.01.2009 and Windows 7 was released on July 22, 2009. However, on the other hand it s not mentioned that this BIOS is not compatible with Win 7.

  But the fact is that only Windows 7 doesn't is NOT supported on this laptop.

  Windows 7 drivers are not out on Sat A110, but this does not mean that you couldn't install Win 7 on this device. Of course, you can install the Win 7 system, but Toshiba does not provide any Win 7 software for this series.

  Back to BIOS update:
  In your case I would try not to update the BIOS if the laptop works properly.
  Why? Because the update of the BIOS is still a technique sensitive and you could damage it the motherboard if something goes wrong during the update of the BIOS.

• Satellite 1000-Z2: driver Intel GPU does not - I should update the BIOS?

  Hello

  I just downloaded and installed the latest driver for satellite 1000 Z2 graphics card which is Intel(r) 82830M chipset Driver revision: 6.14.10.3889. However, it does not work.

  I wonder if I should update my BIOS first. Thank you

  Hello

  It s always a good idea to update the BIOS. Thus, it would be the best you try the BIOS updated and then reinstall the graphics card driver. You can also (if it isn't already) check www.intel.com and download the drivers from there, they are sometimes more up-to-date than the drivers of toshiba. :)

  Please give some comments if the installation of the graphics card took place after the BIOS update.

  See you soon

• Satellite L300 - 20 d - after updating the BIOS, that it does not start now

  Hello

  I bought my wife a Toshiba L300 - 20 d (PSLB8E-0CK00YEN). It came with loaded Vista, which it cannot do.

  My grandson offered also to sort. He has installed a new hard drive, loaded with XP and managed to get almost all the drivers working except the WiFi.

  After spending many hours, he decided to update the bios of v1.8 to v1.9. Since it does not start... It happens with the Toshba screen, start windows normally, then it attempts to load windows, flashing and start the cycle al.

  He has tried default settings, tried a XP disk, setting on the disk, nothing. He just does the same thing in safe mode.

  Any suggestions will be appreciated

  Concerning

  Keith

  Hello

  The wireless network card is enabled with the hardware switch on the computer laptop and FN + F8? Check this box!

  Additionally, make sure that the latest driver on the Toshiba site is installed, and check the settings of the wireless network adapter TCP/IP.

  Moreover a description that is more accurate than the WiFi works not would be very appreciated.

  Good bye

• Satellite A-C50-K9K - after updating the BIOS, cooling fan is very loud

  Gas station proposed to update the BIOS. 1.00 to 1.30. After updating the cooling system is 90% of the time. Load the default settings BIOS do not change.

  No backup of the BIOS. Is it possible to download BIOS 1.00 or solve this problem?

  The downgrade of the BIOS is not possible because you n t have the first version of BIOS and even if you get the 1.0 version of BIOS, the BIOS update procedure is not possible because the newer version is already flashed.

  But I recommend you set the method in Windows to optimize power or better management the cooling battery life

  + Control Panel--> Power Options--> change the parameters of plan--> change power avancΘs--> TOSHIBA Power Saver Settings--> cooling method.

• Satellite A60-106: Question about updating the BIOS and the BIOS Flash

  Hello

  Sorry, but you question is a bit confusing.

• Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
  The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.

  A lot, I searched but found nothing.
  The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?

  THX in advance,
  John

  Hello

  First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
  Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?

  I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
  So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?

  By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)

• Satellite L500-1XC - error while updating the BIOS

  Hi, just download the most recent update BIOS but there is an error everytime I try to update to come... "uefi bios winflash over 210 ac of 10% battery attached"

  Connected AC and battery not charging but tried to leave and remove too. Current bios 1.60
  I tried to find a BIOS flash utility but no permits. BIOS default loaded and tried in safe mode too.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  I think that's the problem because the battery is not completely charged so you can't update the BIOS. Can you charge the battery when the laptop is turned off? I mean you can see the battery LED and if the battery is charged it changes the color of the orange in white or green (it s mentioned in the user manual). Can you confirm this?

  On the other side, it would be interesting to know why the BIOS update is important to you. Problems with the computer? If it is not updated the BIOS isn't important, you can forget it. Never touch a running system ;)

• Satellite A100 - 803 (PSAANE) - Trouble updating the BIOS in Vista

  Hello

  I tried to update the BIOS on my laptop today. After the installation of the new BIOS, restarted the pc and then it showed a black screen with white display text material in the machine.

  In the end, it says something about a corrupt CMOS. She said press F1 to default or F2 for Setup.

  I pressed F1.

  The thing is that I don't know if it worked. I used a program to display the bios version and it seems up to date, but the CMOS thing me freaked out.

  I met all of the planned maneuvers (AC adapter / CC plugged etc.) except in startup mode. I assumed that the boot mode is currently in the standard vista desktop.

  * What is this thing of startup mode? * It's driving me crazy. I searched the forums, google and nothing. How can I get the computer to "boot mode and not recovery mode" as the tutorial says.

  I intend to reinstall the BIOS as soon as I know how to enter in the boot mode.

  I think that this announcement has already answered in this thread:

  You're talking about the traditional BIOS update, but the fact is that on the Toshiba driver page you will find ONLY the base BIOS update windows.
  All new BIOS updates are versions of WIN and can be updated only running a Windows operating system.

  In the BIOS, the package should be unzipped everything first, and then an .exe file must be run.

  That s all ;)

• Tecra A2: brightness F6 Fn + F7 does not work after updating the BIOS of the screen

  Update bios to 1.40 VICTORY at end of January. Since the failure of keys F6 & F7 then to increase or decrease the brightness of the screen. Is it a coincidence or is that updating the bios the culprit! ??

  Hello

  Usually, the update of the BIOS shouldn't have a bad influence on the drivers of Toshiba and the performance of the operating system.
  There must be another reason the FN key down.

  Initially, I would say to reinstall the common modules. Please check if this will help.

• Is it possible to update the BIOS without Windows installed - Satellie L30

  I have not installed WIndows on my Toshiba Satellite PSL33E. Is it possible to create a boot CD to upgrade the BIOS on my laptop?

  This is possible only if you have a BIOS traditional Toshiba update version.
  But the fact is that page European driver of Toshiba DOESN T provide this BIOS.
  If there is only a windows base BIOS, which means that you can update from Windows operating system running.

  Sorry, don't think that you could do that. Oohhh wait maybe the ASP in your country might help. Maybe the registered maintainer can be updated using a disk.

• Satellite L40-139 - possible to disable the low battery alarm?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L40-139 it comes with Windows Vista running. I think the battery is now a little age, because it does not load when the computer is plugged in - although the computer itself is capable of functioning when it is plugged in, which is how I use it.

  Battery sank to about 10%. For this reason, the computer will sound low-battery-warning beep every fifteen seconds or more. This seems to come from the computer itself and not the operating system, it sounds different from low battery alerts in Control Panel > sounds.

  I would like to disable this beep - it is not to tell me anything I don't already know. Until now, the only way to achieve this, I have found is by inhibition of the laptop altogether. But is not ideal, because it means that I can't use any other sound feature on the computer.

  I tried, without success, changing the settings in the control panel > power settings, including lower low and critical battery levels and fix warnings for low battery to "off".

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  Please check the BIOS settings.
  To access the BIOS F2 press Mobile start upward.
  There should be an option called something like low battery alarm
  Remember to save the changes before exiting the BIOS.

• Is satellite A200-1AE - possible to update the graphics card?

  Could you please tell me what graphics card or chipset model could be used to upgrade this laptop?
  It will be possible with "CUDA"?

  So can I change the processor to a superior, without cooling, to do else?

  Hey Buddy,

  These updates to the graphics card is not possible because the graphics chip is attached to the motherboard and t can be removed.

• Satellite 2410-303-display flashing, update the BIOS

  HY!

  I am the owner of the Satellite 2410-303 series. Display does not work very well. I do not know it is because of drivers (even me, I installed the drivers by default) or maybe it's because the LCD screen. Maybe poor contact or something like that? I don't want to take my turn for the service center more because they don't know how to solve the problem. Only what they say is: «I'm sorry, but you have to buy a new...» »

  In speaking of the bios it is 1.20 in 2002. I want to download 1.40 (think it's most recent) but do not know where to download... Please help because this is my first tour & I want to revive his soul... THX.

  Hello

  I always thought that this forum is serious, but you try to make us laugh reading your ad.

  Sorry, but your comment about service is for me really ridiculous. Do you really think that all the issues can be fixed and nothing should be exchanged? I respect your opinion, but I think you're not qualified to talk about. Or maybe you're a technician material. If so, then I feel sorry for my comment.

  Anyway, if you have a display problem trying to connect to external monitor and see exactly what is happening. It will be interesting to know how starts flickering.
