  Hello

  ACPI-> Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
  ACPI defines hardware and software interfaces that allow focus on the OS configuration and power management to enumerate and configure motherboard devices.
  For example: ACPI is necessary for the standby and hibernation mode.

  Now your question; the new BIOS has been updated and configured to using VISTA.
  It seems that VISTA was not compatible with the previous version of BIOS because the ACPI interface. Now you can install Vista on the laptop, but it seems that you need a driver. Possibly new chipset driver version might help. But as you probably know, the drivers are not available at this time. Unfortunately

• Satellite A500 emit after bios update 1.50

  Hey guys and girls,

  I have some problems after the update of the bios. Before the update my laptop has been the scene of much smoother and everything was fine and dandy until Tempro told me to update my bios. The problem is that after the update, the temperature seems to be considerably higher as usual when I play the game (I am a gamer) and also all the games I play seems to be much slower than before (lower, gal frame rate). Before the update I could play Dragon Age Origins with 1366 x 768 with 4 x anti-aliasing and the only one that I could get the same performance with the graphic parameter above is on 800 x 600. Now, it is certainly a big problem for someone who is a graphics junkie when it comes to games.

  * What do you think I should do? *

  A. downgrade my bios for when I bought everything first? (I don't know what version of bios is if anyone knows the stock bios?)
  B. perform HARD drive recovery?
  C. clean install of Windows 7 64-bit?

  My laptop computer spec:

  Model name: Satellite A500
  Part number: PSAR3E-00N005EN
  Serial number: X9206227K
  OS version: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium edition
  BIOS version: 1.50
  Physical memory: 4096MB RAM
  Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce GT 230 M

  Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

  Hi mate

  I think you had a version of BIOS 1.30
  In older versions of the BIOS update are not available on the Toshiba driver download page. Only ASP (partner) has access to these early BIOS versions

  In any case, I found an interesting thread:

  Not sure if it could be useful but check

  PS; the graphics card driver update is a good idea it too check

  Hey, Carol, welcome to the forum! :)

  Don t misunderstand me, but may I ask why you n t post more information about your problem?
  Important to know is that your laptop you have exactly and where to download the updated BIOS and for what model. This is important information.

  By the way: have you ever tried to load the default settings in the BIOS after update?

• Satellite A500 - overheating after BIOS update to 1.50

  Hi, I hope someone can help me.

  I updated the Bios to version 1.50 a few days ago and now the laptop overheats and stops after a few minutes, when I play a game (Day of Defeat Source btw, it is not the newest and shouldn't be a problem). This problem occurred for the first time after the update. There was no problem with the temperature with V1.20 before.

  Is it possible to downgrade the bios V1.20? Where can I download the necessary file? I can just download the latest version on Toshibas website.
  I have already asked the support of aid, but they did not send me a response up to now...

  Thanks for your replies! :)

  Hi Flex Barker,

  Are you sure that this problem is really caused due to update BIOS? Normally, these overheating problems are caused by the old thermal grease or dust often due to the radiator. In my opinion, you should try to clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.
  Check this box!

  Downgrade of BIOS is normally not possible. Older versions of BIOS, you can get your local authorized service provider. :)

• Black screen on the Satellite A100-712, after Bios Update

  I bought a new Satellite A100-712 and I did a bios upgrade, everything was fine in windows and restart the laptop got it is pasted on the toshiba black screen that appears when you turn on the lapto.

  Any suggestions please, I would be very grateful

  It doesn't sound good. I did the BIOS update on two laptops A100 and everything was OK. Sorry, but I think that you will not be able to do anything alone. I recommend you contact the service authorized in your country as soon as possible.

• After that v1.90 updated by Satellite Pro A300-1EA BIOS won't boot to the top

  I just upgraded my laptop the new BIOS as indicated in the title, but after that program it my computer won't start at all upward. I just get a blue screen with her asking me to do a CHKDSK because there might be a virus or hard drive is not connected correctly (when it comes), and he keeps just reboot.

  It does not start in SafeMode either. Someone else had the same problem and if so, how to get back my laptop? :(

  Thanks for any response.

• Satellite L630 dead after BIOS update

  Hello

  I have a problem with a Toshiba Satellite L630 laptop model PSK00E-017019EN (British model).

  An analysis of software Toshiba recommends an update of the BIOS and that I had a few problems with the laptop, I decided to let it run... big mistake!

  The laptop will now not enter bios is effectively dead.

  I downloaded different versions of the crisis Phoenix Recovery Disk (that will build a bootable USB key with MINIDOS. SYS, PHLASH16. EXE and a generic BIOS. WPH) and have also downloaded the latest version of the BIOS on the toshiba site.

  The downloaded BIOS Toshiba is an exe SL630_L635_WIN_B140.exe file that will extract the following files using WINRAR (I tried also pick up the files in %Temp%, after you run the exe with the same result).

  The files that I get are:

  BB10140. FD (4170kb)

  Ding.wav (104 KB)

  InsydeFlash.exe (764 KB)

  iscflash.dll (1760 KB)

  iscflash.sys (14 KB)

  iscflashx64.sys (23 KB)

  and platform.ini (9kb)

  I expect to see the real bios in the form xxxx.rom or xxxx. WPH so that I could add this to the bootable flash drive to reflash the bios.

  So my real question, can someone direct me to where I can download the correct BIOS. ROM file for this laptop and also where I can get the right version of the software Phoenix crisis Recovery Disk.

  Also could you confirm the correct key sequence to start on crisis Recovery flash drive... I've seen talk of the F and B FN FN (both used without battery and plugging in the adapter, then power button / stop)... the FN routine F seems to start the Flash Player, but obviously without the right file WPH will not solve the problem.

  Thank you

  Phil

  To be honest, I don t think that BIOS ROM module needs to be replaced.
  In my opinion the ROM module must be flashed again using a special disc of crisis of the BIOS.
  I recommend you contact Toshiba service and pay a small fee for the flash ROM module.
  It is much better solution to handle the motherboard.

  Also I checked the HARD drive on the virus, it's pure against viruses.

  Could you help me to update the BIOS to a working condition.

  Hey Buddy,

  This stop code means you use a bad SATA controller driver. The installation of XP, to integrate the SATA driver for install XP. There is a lot of discussion on this issue here in the forum.

  For Intel chipset, you will need to download Intel Storage Manager of Toshiba's official site and follow the instructions here to reinstall Windows with the SATA drivers:

  Solution replacement follow the instructions posted by peterk_1. Setting IDE mode instead of AHCI in the BIOS will help too :)

• Satellite Pro P300 - after Truesuite update I can't open protected files

  Hello
  Sorry for my bad English, but I came to Italy, and here we do not have any forum that can solve my problem.

  I have a Toshiba laptop pro P300 with fingerprint reader. I use fingerprints to log and protect certain files, simply out of curiosity, he seemed cool...: |
  The problem was born while I recently updated "truesuite access manager. Since I did the update I can not open protected files, I have not read that I have to remove the protection before the update (damn...), but these files are important to me and I have to reopen them.

  To solve the problem at all first I restore the system prior to the update to have the old version and open these files again, but my fingers are deleted and I can not create new prints because the pc said "could not open the sensor. I don't know what that means.
  I thought he needs some drivers, so I reinstalled truesuite Manager to access, several times, I reinstalled the BIOS, I did the scan of the drive and the diagnosis of toshiba, but the sensor still does not work.

  I think that if I can record a fingerprint with the old version of the program I will be protected able to open files again (and I will no longer protect them) because only the old version of the program knows how to decrypt these files, but I do not know how to enable the fingerprint sensor. Could someone help me, please?
  Thank you very much!

  The update of Truesuite comes WindowsUpdate? Or did you download the update from the Web from Toshiba site?

  You can use your backup password (usually its your Windows password) to access the files?

• Some problems with the LAN on Satellite L10 card after BIOS update

  Hello

  I have a problem with my satellite L10. Map does not work after the installation of the new network of edge of Bios (2.80).
  I tried it on Linux, BSD and WinXp. OS see my net card.
  I can even install parameters and ping 127.0.0.1 and my ip.

  But all the other pool spoke to me query time-out.

  Help me please.

  Hello

  What to say I put t think that this could be linked to the BIOS. First of all, as you said that the LAN card is recognized correctly in the device if Manager she s works well!

  However, you could try to access the BIOS and could set the BIOS default settings. Don t forget to save changes to BIOS ;)

  In addition, it would be advisable to reinstall the NIC driver. The Toshiba driver page provides the Realtek LAN driver v5.618.1015.2004.

  Good luck

• Update hard disc on Satellite Pro M40X

  For several seasons, I want to replace the hard drive of 80 GB (Toshiba MK8026GAX) on my Satellite Pro M40X PSM4YE model.

  I encountered the problem that the new a * WD Scorpio WD1200BEVE drive * (120 GB enhanced IDE) is not recognized in the BIOS.

  No solution to my problem?

  Hello

  Sometimes a BIOS update help in such situations. Did you already check if you have the latest version of the BIOS on your machine?

  The other point is: HDD´s not ALL are compatible, then maybe it would be good for you to take another disk and check it with this one.
  Maybe it s just an incompatibility between your machine and the HARD drive?

  It would be a sort of troubleshooting and I'd be happy to hear any comments from you. :)

  See you soon

• My Satellite L300-110 hangs after BIOS update

  My Satellite falls down after I updated the BIOS. The old version of my Satellite L300 - 110 (PSLB0E) BIOS was 1.40 and upgrade to 1.50.
  From there on, my system hangs over and over again.

  Any help please. I cannot install Office Enterprise 2007, cannot defragment all my readers.
  Is there an option to restore changes made to my BIOS?
  Help!

  The default settings in the BIOS load after the update?

  You can reinstall Windows with the Toshiba Recovery disk? First back up your data because the HARD drive will be formatted and then start the installation of recovery.

  A restoration to the previous version of the BIOS is not possible, because on the Toshiba site is only the most recent (1.50) BIOS. Only an ASP (authorized service provider) can do a restore.
  You can search for an ASP here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported downloads & => find an ASP.

  I don't know Mr. but you did a backup of the old BIOS? Maybe you can Flash this back.

  Hello

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here. Have you noticed something strange with LED power control? It is also possible that the electronic power supply do troubled. Try to talk with authorized Toshiba and explain the situation. If you open only one Notepad, uneducated, it may be simply worse.

  Graphics card cannot be updated as on desktop computers. I put t know how it is on this model laptop but the graphics card is fixed on the motherboard and cannot be traded.
