• Satellite Pro U500 - update the BIOS does not start on Windows 7

  Try to update BIOS on Satellite Pro U500 PSU9CA. The download site says there is a new version available, after that download and run the program nothing happens. You can see the Winflash process in the Task Manager but it never appears"". If this has yet been tested by Toshiba?

  There are no instructions, no readme or whatever it is.

  Did somebody get the BIOS update?

  Hi torana.

  As far as I know Toshiba always test their drivers or updates tools before they will be released and I have never had a problem with the new updates, so I think that the problem is lreated to your laptop, maybe something wrong with your installation.

  In General before you start the update of the BIOS you have to decompress all the files in archive zip and launch the update as an administrator.
  Also make sure that the value added package is installed and no firewall is not blocking the update program.

• 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.

  Hello

  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
  The rest is automatic.

  If there is only a problem please read the information to update the BIOS on the Web site.

• Satellite Pro P300 - update graphic card and CPU

  I have a Satellite Pro P300 and I was wondering if the CPU or the graphics card can be improved?

  I really like my laptop, but an upgrade is imminent and before I take the plunge I just want to see if it is all options other than a new laptop.

  Hello

  Processor and graphics card update is not supported and there is no list with compatible processors. If everything is on your own risk. In the worst case a new processor will not be recognized from the motherboard or BIOS, probably you need a new module of cooling too so I wouldn t this

  In addition, the graphics card is attached to the motherboard and cannot be exchanged.

• Satellite M10 and update BIOS

  Hello

  trying to make my first laptop BIOS update on my BIOS 1.40 M10. Date of 2003.
  I downloaded version 1.50 updated windows and where to extract the zip file and it starts to run I get "Toshiba common modules is not installed.

  But back to the driver downloads and download Modules common cmod-en20071113104042 and install. Run the BIOS update and I get the same common Modules not installed.
  Anyone can shed some light on my problems?

  The machine performs a clean install of XP Professional Service pack 3 and has BIOS version 1.40 and 512 MB RAM.
  I want to upgrade the RAM and have read on Toshiba takes the M10 supported 2 GB of RAM with the bios update.
  At the minute when I go to crucial.com and scan the system tells me max supported is 1 GB.

  No answers or help would be welcome.

  Hello

  At first, I must say that the BIOS update will not change with the support of RAM. It depends on the hardware platform and not update the BIOS. So it's not going to help at all. Your laptop can handle with 2 GB of RAM maximum end of the story.

  Satellite Pro M10 is old enough laptop model and I am 100% sure, update the BIOS, as a file is OK, but right now, there is no SP3 and I can imagine that there is the problem.
  So if you are satisfied, how does your laptop leave and enjoy this good old classic. Don't don't need BIOS update at all.

• Satellite Pro 4600 ACPI Bios error

  Hello

  I have a Satellite pro 4600. When I started today the machine displays a blue screen stating that the acpi bios is not fully compliant and does not start in windows. He suggests the update of the bios I did to version 2.6, but still no luck, wont let me in in either safe mode

  Any help is appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  Until you want to start the operating system please check the BIOS settings and set it to ACPI > Enabled. Don't forget that your BIOS supports ACPI option. If there is no success the only solution is to reinstall the operating system and don t change BIOS settings after installation.

  Before the start of the operating system the hardware will be verified by Windows. I hope that your update of the BIOS is to download site of Toshiba and designed for your device.

• Satellite Pro A100 request BIOS password which was never put

  Hiya

  Have had my Satellite Pro A100 for almost 2 years and that all this time have never even heard of a password system, but all of a sudden, I turned on the laptop this morning and it does not load. I tried pressing F12 (can't remember why, it seemed the thing to do to read the instructions at the bottom of the screen), but nothing happened so I just turned off the power. Put on again, he asked the system password. (A black screen with a blue box, with the old text base BACK type fonts).

  I have no idea what it could be, I tried the word system and tried just pressing on enter without text in there but it says incorrect password. I removed the battery and left 10 hours but put it back in the machine there is no difference, it will not always go through this screen.

  I am the only user on this machine, have no idea what caused it. I am aware of security, have installed on complete McAfee AV and did not have anything odd happen at all. Didn't last changes made to the configuration, no new software etc. so I have no idea what prompted it.

  Can anyone help please?

  Thanks in advance
  Rachel

  This password seems to be a BIOS password, but I have no idea why this password is displayed if you have never defined it.
  Unfortunately, there is not a lot to see the BIOS password can be removed without the help of an ASP.

  Then, contact the service provider allowed in your country and request removal of the password.

  I also recommend updating the BIOS after the technician removed the password.

  Do you know how to find the ASP closest?
