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.

    Please, someone tell me what is the problem with the update to v1.60 SP4220 BIOS? It does not start even do it according to instructions.

    I did the following:
    1 download/have unzipped the package v1.60 since the BIOS page on a non-bootable floppy disk empty
    2. put the floppy in the computer
    3. turn on the device with the F12 key

    With a floppy, I got the "non-system disk" error and another with a "EMBRL" error message missing. What is it, I'm not familiar with that one?

    Hello

    Can I ask why you want to update the BIOS?
    You have problems?
    If the laptop works well the update of the BIOS is not necessary! My laptop is about 6 years old and I have no day BIOS!

    However, I think that you didn't use the right update procedure.
    Please check this document before starting the BIOS update:

    Note: Running as Administrator returns the same error.

    Probably Windows 7 only is not supported but, it must be explicit protection since the release of Vista should work in 7. There is no update setting to jump this protection?

    BIOS update is designed and tested for some OS. Win7 is not on the market and now Toshiba offers tested BIOS updated for Vista only.
    Sorry, but what else to say. You probably know how supposed BIOS updated and it can be dangerous. So do not play with this and do not untested experimenting with such things.

    Win7 will be placed on the market in a few months and Toshiba will start a public support. You can wait a few weeks isn't it?

  • Satellite C55 - Has - 1 L 0 does not start in Windows 8

    Hey guys.
    I hope you can help me a bit.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite C55 - has - 1 L 0 here and it does not start in Windows 8.

    I turn it on, the Toshiba start screen appears, and then I get a message on a black screen saying "media control" (failure) and after a little while "no boot device. Please restart.

    I checked the BiOS and it does not see the hard drive (said HARD drive - no) and even in the boot order list, I don't get a list with the DVD drive with the exact name, but for the HARD drive.
    I tried to do a recocery with the F12 key and get the list to choosw where I want to start but by selecting the disk hard does not work.

    So I thought I'd try a live distribution of linux to see where is my hard drive and back up my data (after some settings in the BIOS - boot CMS mode) but I can't find there too. (I have a file fstab and mtab, it would help if I posted it here?)
    Is my HARD drive broken? Can I try something else?

    Thank you very much!

    You are right. This issue should be fixed by the authorized service provider.
    Furthermore, why do some risk steps to check this problem, if the warranty is valid.
    Warranty will cover the repair costs.

  • 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.

    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

    I have the HP Compaq 6200 PRO PC of MT 615114-001 motherboard and processor Intel Celeron CPU (LGA 1155). After I changed the CPU for Intel Core i5 (LGA 1155) computer does not start.

    In my previous post, I explained the reason it has not worked, and listed the CPU that will work.

    HP tests CPU in the laboratory and publishes a list of processors that will work in a notebook.

  • Satellite Pro S500 - Recover Media Creator does not start

    I got a new laptop Satellite Pro S500. After the initial Setup, I have Windows 7 64-bit work. I wanted to create the recovery media, but the process fails.
    Having started the "Toshiba Recoverx Media Creator', I get a dialog box where I can choose the language for the recovery media. My language is German. So I select German and press OK. For a few seconds, there is an another dialog box with a text "Please wait...". "and after a few soconds, it closed. Nothing happened.
    Any other language in the first dialog box setting cause the same behavior. Even tried in Windows safe mode, but still the same.

    Is there a log file?

    Any help is appreciated

    Hi Caramel0,

    This recovery media creator dialog box does not know me, you can post a screenshot of the error message? This would be interesting.

  • Update the system: does not start after upgrading to Windows Vista SP1.


    I had the same problem. Called Lenovo, the response was:

    N ' - what is Vista come with SP1? No! Then, it is not a supported configuration. You're on your own! Bye: Pei

    Well, there is a feature called "Automatic updates" and Microsoft forces you to use - and you're foolish to not use it! In any case, I hope the support to the Denmark, named Thomas, and his bosses to get a better attitude towards customer.

    My question was simple. He was missing a Windows Service called "system update". It is implemented in "C:\Program Lenovo Update\SUService.exe.

    I had register service menually. There is a tool in the .net framework called InstallUtil.exe. The SUService.exe is implemented in .net, the InstallUtil can help.

    Start a command prompt by right-clicking and choosing "run as Administrator".

    Run:

    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe "C:\Program Update\SUService.exe Lenovo."

    Modification of traces according to needs. If InstallUtil.exe is missing, it could be part of the .net SDK - do some research on Google.

    Go to services (in the contral Panel - administrative tools) and start the newly created service "system update". System update now worked for me.

  • Satellite Pro A30: after disk HARD replacing the BIOS does not see DVD or HARD disk

    Hello

    I bought a new Pro A30 of Satellite earlier.
    Shortly after, I noticed the system sometimes
    would freeze, with a rattling of the HD.
    A reboot cold was the only solution.
    I was told to replace the HD I did but the
    problem persisted with the new HD.

    I tried a known working HD and the problem still persisted.
    At this point, the warranty period has increased.
    Frost started happening more regularly, and
    now, the BIOS does not recognize the HD player or DVD.
    It starts and then try to boot from the network,
    because he doesn't have a HD or DVD player.

    At this point, I think I need a new system board.
    Someone at - it other advice or seen this problem
    before?

    Thank you
    Ray

    Hello

    What happens if you remove the CD/DVD drive or the HARD drive?
    The laptop recognizes one of these devices?
    Have you used the devices recommended by Toshiba?

    in any case, this seems very strange and the dysfunction of the motherboard is not impossible

  • Satellite L355 - dreaded blue screen - Bios does not end

    I have a new Satellite L355.
    Sometimes at startup I get the DBS.

    Otherwise said, the bios does not end and the screen is blank.
    Laptop repair center replaced the motherboard twice, but I still have the problem.
    I found that if I turn off the power and remove the battery, I can start very well after the replacement of the battery.

    Does anyone know why the battery clears the problem?
    Toshiba technical support often has a user that to clear a trouble report. They must know something.

    Thank you, jack

    > Occasionally when booting I get the DBS

    That would mean that this sometimes happens from time to time but not always
    Is this good?

    I think that it of difficult to say what's going wrong here because the question is not always happens... so it is difficult to replicate it
    Usually if the POST (power on self-test) cannot transmit properly then that would mean that a material error has been detected somewhere on the map

    Maybe you should check if the laptop using the latest version of the BIOS.
    If a new BIOS has been published, then you should try to update.
