Satellite L500 (PSLS9A-01U012) - better update BIOS 1.6?

It's just a small thing, but my last PC Toshiba laptop has the option to boot from USB. I could boot a Linux and Windows from a USB key, and it was great. So here's my question. Is it possible to boot from USB without a BIOS update?

Well, I know that the answer is probably no, so I'll ask the question. Thinking that there is an update for my BIOS, I visited the mytoshiba.com.au website and discovered that the only available update is that I currently have. Then I went on the site of decision-makers (Pheonix) BIOS, who headed biosagentplus.com, which scanned my computer to check updates. He claims that it is a new BIOS update available, but I must register and PAY for an annual subscription to just the chance to see what is the version number of this release. So my question is, where is this "update" and it supports boot from USB?

Thank you.

Hi Hambo,

The fact is that not all laptop computers support booting from the USB device and if it s possible is described in your user manual.
As far as I know it is only possible to boot from the USB on Satellite L500 floppy drive, but not USB key

Also the BIOS update does that fix bugs and add new features for I n t see a reason to make the point.
But if you make an update of the BIOS at any time, you must download site Web from Toshiba to form. This is the only site where you can get a compatible BIOS.

  • Re: Satellite L500-1WH stuck when updating BIOS

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-1HW, and today TEMPRO shown to me three alerts, one of them on a BIOS update. When I tried to run the application to update the BIOS (Phoenix UEFI WinFlash) he completed the first four steps, "Load the new BIOS", "Analyze old and new BIOS compatibility ', 'Reading old BIOS' and 'Save old BIOS to the backup file', but when he reached the stage of the las,"New Flash BIOS", he got stuck displaying the message 'Region of programming Bios... '. ». Now the laptop is turned on and in fact I can use it as the application of the BIOS update does not block the system, but I don't know what to do, I dare not just to finalize the program because I don't know if the BIOS is right.

    Please help me with this problem.

    Thank you.

    Hey,.

    Do you have any other programs like Internet browser, Skype or something else? All programs must be closed before you start the update of the BIOS, even AntiVirus, firewall, etc. In addition, the update should be done as an administrator

    In General, the BIOS update is not necessary. If only TEMPRO presents a new version, there is no reason to update. Never touch a running system ;)

  • Re: Satellite L500-1XL - display problem after BIOS update

    Hello!

    I recently received a Satellite L500-1XL, works fine until I gave it to my friend...
    The problem is that he has updated the bios to V 2.10 (don't know why) and since then, the image on the screen appears as 15.4 "even in the bios.

    Any ideas what could cause the problem?

    Thank you

    2.10 is the right version and I really put t understand what is the problem.

  • 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 L500 - 1 Q 9 - update for the display driver

    My problem is that I'm looking for new drivers for the ATI Radeon HD 5165. When I install http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-32.aspx # 1, these drivers do not work do not see the results of the work. These drivers seem to be the old http://ce.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?LNG=20&service=CE and some games do not work on them.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hey,.

    Is it really a problem of display driver you need a new version? If you need a new display driver for the games, you must update the first DirectX version and take a look if the game is compatible with your graphics card.

    If you can find t a new display driver for Satellite L500 check other specs of the laptop. Other models like the Satellite L650 also have an AMD graphics card and there you should find a newer version. :)

  • Satellite L500-22R - ATI driver update

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-22R with an ATI Mobiliti Radeon HD 5145.

    I want to install new drivers for my card, but Toshiba doesn´t upgrade the driver from 2009 (version 8.653.0.0) and the official driver ATI is 13.1. The problem is that I can install page AMD because there is a problem of compatibility with the hardware.

    Can someone help me? I want to upgrade my version of driver and I can´t understand this situation.

    Hello

    Here is a page AMD providing this info:
    http://support.AMD.com/us/KbArticles/pages/AMDCatalystSoftwareSuiteVersion131.aspx

    + The following books * are not compatible * with this version: +.
    + All laptops launched after this driver release +.
    + Computers laptop Toshiba (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these notebooks) +.
    + Computers laptops Sony VAIO (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these notebooks) +.
    + Portable Panasonic (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these notebooks) +.

    In some cases its possible to install these drivers, but you will have to manually do it from Device Manager. There, you have to click on the graphics card, choose the Advanced installation procedure which helps you to point to the folder of the driver that you downloaded from the page of AMD. The driver folder must contain the dll and ini files. These files are required for the update of the driver.

  • Satellite Pro A300 (PSAG9E) - after updating BIOS Windows will not start

    Restart went well after update BIOS and Windows XP logo appears loads for a few seconds then a beep and restart - last good known or start Windows normally same effect.
    Reboot back to start - this is a new laptop - using the BIOS of Toshiba s official download site.

    Quite annoyed to try to find a way to upgrade or downgrade the BIOS.
    Took battery and RAM to see if I can delete it?

    Any ideas anyone?

    I think you mean BIOS * update * and do not upgrade ;)
    An upgrade is not possible

    However, you can try to remove the battery and the AC adapter and wait an hour. After that, reconnect the battery and the AC adapter and try to start Windows.
    Moreover I would load the default settings in the BIOS before starting Windows.

    If it doesn't work, it seems that your ROM module needs to be reflashed. In this case an ASP can help you.

  • Satellite Pro U200: unable to update BIOS to v.3.70 - WIN

    Model No.: Satellite Pro U200 PLUA1E
    OS: Vista Business SP2
    Current BIOS: v. 3.50

    Try to update the BIOS to v3.70

    When I run P0044v370, I get a Windows Script Host message:

    "Script:

    I want to update the BIOS before the upgrade from 1 GB to 4 GB of memory. Also my U200 Pro keeps crashing and whenever before it restarts, I get a message saying something like "try to install the latest version of the BIOS" (it is not on the screen very long sorry can't be more accurate).

    I don't have have the recovery CD, I'm trying to boost performance because it runs very slowly.

    Everything is - I am in your forum people good hands! Thanks in advance.

    You have what Windows OS installed.
    It is Win XP?

    Update the BIOS needs an installation of the common Modules, so don't forget not that the common Modules are installed or this software update.
    The CM is on the page of the European driver Toshiba

    In addition, the P0044v370.exe unpacks the package I recommend creating a folder on the desktop and to decompress the files in P0044v370.exe first. Then move to this new folder and run the exe file in the folder.

  • Satellite A-C50-1JU - manually updated BIOS

    Hi Forum,

    is their any chance of updating the bios manually? The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-1JU with part number: PSCJEE. The Toshiba Service Station brings to each time a service error. Another update from the site Web DM10S140.exe crashes every time. I tried the compatibility mode, startet it as administrator, but never the actual accident itself. Operating system windows 8.1 and anti-virus is disabled. What I have now? Thanks for any help.

    Edit, sorry postet in the wrong section please move: (.)

    I think Toshiba Service Station is a tool not so important but interesting. If your laptop works well and stabile you don't need updates. Maybe it sounds silly now, but I use two laptops from Toshiba with the factory settings and without updates. The first is 5 years old and it is running Win7. The other is model Tecra, 3 years and also preloaded with Win7.

    All I have install Windows are updated. The first thing I did after installing recovery image is the deactivation of these tools like Toshiba Service Station.
    Believe me, you can live without it.

    In the end I have to say that I'm also sure that updating the BIOS won't help you any. The BIOS update has nothing to do with the Toshiba Service Station feature.

  • Satellite Pro L300: BSOD after updating BIOS

    Hello

    After updating the Bios of the Satellite Pro L300, windows will not start!
    His show the blue screen of death!

    What can I do?

    Hello

    You are able to access the BIOS settings?
    I m not very well why this BSOD appears, but eventually the SATA mode settings have been changed after the BIOS update

    Usually the SATA mode must be on AHCI if the SATA drivers are installed.
    But if the SATA drivers are not included the SATA mode must be set to compatible.

    Please check this!

    In addition, you could set the BIOS default settings and may try to start the computer again.

    Hello

    I don t know why it happened after updating the BIOS, but I guess that the language of the keyboard settings are not correct.

    Go to Control Panel-> Regional Options & language-> language (second tab)-> Details

    Here, you must choose the right keyboard (Spanish) language?
