• irreversible bios update made noisy fan (8710p, 8710w, 8510p, 8510w, fan, F.20, F.0E)

  Hey.

  I just want to share my experience with the update of the bios on my computer hp 8710w laptop and talk to HP support. I've updated F.0E to F.20 and after that this fan went wild. In windows 7 it works very well every boots 2 / 3, or more. All fans of time runs fast, no matter what the system load and temperature are. What makes the portable noisy.

  I used to use linux and it just fan slow down after spinning up to cool the system. It is really something that you want to have, because it becomes a noisy vacuum cleaner with an excellent machine and quiet.

  I have enough evidence to assume that the problem was caused by the update of the bios. First of all, it started exactly after the bios update when nothing else has been changed. Secondly, 5 years ago I had a very similar laptop (8710p) and when I have updated the bios to F.0F, it's the same thing, but I fortunately downgraded the bios and everything was back to normal. In addition, reported others on the internet and these discussion forums.

  Now with the update of F.20... There is no way to downgrade. It's embarrassing: HP has released a update this feature breaks... and there is no way back (except the replacement of the card system, which is expensive for laptops out of warranty).

  I was the cat and then talk on the phone with HP support. They are not really very close to professional. First, they said that my windows 7 is not officially supported and should I install xp or vista. I have xp installed specially for them, and which consumes a lot of time. Of course, nothing has changed. And they actually all drivers for windows 7...

  The best advice of hp support has been trying to install all previous versions of the bios. I reported a failure on each one, then only, they found in the description of the version F.20 could not be downgraded. After reading the forums here for 15 minutes, I knew much more technical support on my laptop and the question, lol.

  After talking with me for a time very long (like 3 or 4 hours) and say that I try to restart my machine, or start with the Windows key + b, etc., they said that my laptop is out of warranty, and there is nothing that they can help me with.

  I confess that the laptop is out of warranty... but only suffers from the update of the official firmware that cannot be downgraded. Yes, I know I'm supposed to buy a new replacement HP laptop. But... This look bad.

  Now, I'll get a replacement bios chip, programmed with the previous version of the bios and soldered to the motherboard...

  Hello to the guys at HP support. They are nice people who try to be useful, they don't know anything about their products :-)

  Hello programmers to the HP bios... Please... Please be better, please learn that bugs can be corrected.

  Problem solved! :-D

  I downgraded to F.0E

• TR/agent.1220467 detected as I ran that Satellite A100 PSAA2E BIOS update file

  I was about to update my BIOS Toshiba laptop Satellite A100 PSAA2E on-site official (I downloaded the update file and unpacked to run it):
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_b * ios.jsp? service = EU
  When my antivirus (Avira Antivir Personal) has detected a TR/agent.1220467

  Of course, I stopped everything, asked to remove, Avira have another full scan, it was deleted again and restarted my PC.

  I am always very careful with what I download, but as I trusted blindly the official site of Toshiba as being safe, I don't run a virus scan on the file update and stupidly flat it once it has been downloaded.
  HOW CAN TOSHIBA HAVE INFECTED FILES TO UPDATE HIS SITE? This is really unacceptable.

  And now how I will:
  1. ensure that this virus is gone for good?
  2. switch to update my BIOS knowing that it is not safe to do?

  Please help me!
  .. .and make sure that this file to update the BIOS is not infecting hundreds of other users!

  Hello

  Don t worry buddy there is no virus
  The BIOS file is safe and I guess that your virus scan recognized the file as a virus because of the similar application procedures

  First of all you should not update your BIOS if your laptop works well!

  Second, you must disable all 3 rd party applications like virus, firewall, malware, software software of scans, while the BIOS update!
  These tools can affect or interrupt the process of updating the BIOS and the laptop cannot!

  You know that the update of the BIOS is a sensitive technique and if something goes wrong during the update, then you will not be able to power the device!

• Satellite C650 - black screen after BIOS update

  My Satellite C650 Windows 7 - won't start afte BIOS update / switch.

  Everything worked very well until the automatic update of Toshiba asked me to download and install the new BIOS update, I did. At the same session Windows and McAfee asked updated. I agreed to all. After all updates have been installed, turns off. The next day when I walk, I see only black screen. I also tried F2, F12 and drive recovery. Nothing happens!

  Any recommendation?

  Hey,.

  It seems that something was wrong during the update of the BIOS and so that you can t the computer unbootable. But I put t understand why you did the BIOS update. If everything works correctly, you can forget about this update. More if you do a BIOS update you shouldn't t run any other updates or programs that might affect the update of the BIOS.

  Anyway, in this case you can do nothing and you need professional help. Please contact an authorized service provider and guys can help you update the ROM module On the Web from Toshiba site, you can find a list of all the FSA:

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite P200D-137 - suspected of BIOS update failure

  Hello

  My friend asked me to watch his old Satellite P200D of 2 days. He decides to perform the recommended Toshiba updates, after leaving the machine (plugged) and return after about an hour, he was off.

  Now switch on the machine causes a black screen with just the hard drive, fans and dvd burner, turning the power on. This being the case, I feel, it was a BIOS update he did this failed. Is it possible to recover from this at all?

  Thank you

  You know with certainty that it was done. If the BIOS update is screwed up, it can be problematic, and I'm afraid there is nothing you can do alone and without service.

  CANNOT CONTROL THE SCROLLING. CURSOR DOWN TO THE LOW WHAT MAKES IMPOSSIBLE TO SAVE TO A FOLDER

  Hi @STICKMAN5124,

  Nice day! Thank you for your participation in the Forums of HP Support! It is a great location to get resolutions and interact with experts from the community. It will be a pleasure to help you.

  I saw the post and understand that after only a bios updated cursor drops down due to a problem of scrolling.

  Impressive work, do the update of the bios. Kudos to you for this. It is a privilege to work with tech-savvy and technically competent customers like you and we greatly appreciate your business with HP. You have been great to work with.

  Please check in F2 diagnostics if the scrollbar works correctly. If Yes, then you can update the chipset drivers and http://hp.com/drivers touchpad drivers you can also consult with a mouse external further isolate the issue.

  You can also run diagnostics on the touchpad from this link by going to the UEFI F2 diagnostics: http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03467259 please run the complete components. If any component fails, please note the failure code. This is done to determine if the problem is hardware or software partners.

  If it passes and scrolling works very well, please perform these updates. If you are still having the same problem on page F2 UEFI (screen) then you could roll back bios after performing a hard reset. Link for the hard reset: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01684768

  • Please perform this step to roll back bios.  Hold down the "Windows" key and the letter "B" at the same time, then press the power also button for about 5 seconds at the same time.

  I hope this helps. I would like to know how this happens. I hope the problem is solved without hassle and the unit works very well.

• Satellite 1410-604-BIOS update > update BIOS Incorrect in the web?

  Hi there again!

  Now with a new and strange issue.

  We all know that tell old... "If it does not break, don't fix it." And if you put in more computer terms, "especially if it's a BIOS.

  Yes, we all know that the BIOS is something quite dellitate to manage. For some reason, we normally feel as if we manage something like nitroglycerine, or radioactive products. And it's because we all know who is put at risk at the moment: our (or sometimes other) computer, the whole system could end up as dead as some pieces of metal, plastic and son.

  Well. I passed through all of this, more than 10 times in my life, and only once, it went wrong. But since this old motherboard was already dead, it was not important. But I've always been EXTREMELY care. Allways cross checked everything before you do anything, allways has a backup and a way to allways and restore that backup... I did COMPAQ systems, which have been prepared in this way. A BIOS update was about about a disc, turn on the PC with the disk in the floppy drive and wait. And if you don't like the results, you just click on 'back to a previus BIOS' and that was it... very nice. And easy.

  A few days ago a friend gave me a Toshiba Satellite 1410 604 to solve some problems that have been her crazy. After you remove a Norton Internet Security has expired, install avast and scan, I found more than a hundred of files infected with a variety of viruses, malware, trojans, and everything you could imagine. Avast all removed, but the rest of the operating system was so unstable that we decide to format it and install from scratch.

  I asked for the restore disks, which obviously it failed because they were lost in one of his trips. After that we had confirmation of Toshiba representatives there is no disk recovery available for this model, because it is too old, we decided to install from scratch like any other normal PC and resigned to losing some of the utilities accompanying that CD and are not available for download on the Web site.

  I downloaded all the software available for this model, including two updates to the BIOS. (In reality an update, but in two versions: Windows and traditional) and prepared a CD with all the drivers and programs as if it were a new system installation. And everything was fine, no problems at all. Until we arrived at the wireless LAN card, but that's another problem is already solved (the mini PCI card for the WLAN does not support the encriptación WEP or WAP, and it is not possible to connect to any LAN encripted wireless).

  At this point, and when I started setting up and activation of peripheral PCMCIA and USB devices (this computer only supports USB 1.1, 2.0 not) I discovered this text from Toshiba Web site:

  "This Bios update adds functionality to your system.
  (BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. This program is stored in a chip memory dead on the motherboard.
  When the computer comes on, the BIOS is launched to perform various functions to start.)

  For more detailed updated information, please refer to Information update BIOS Toshiba"

  Quite specific. Isn't?)

  According to the information in this Web site, the available BIOS fits the following models:

  "Satellite 2410 414, Satellite 1410, Satellite 1410 - 654S, Satellite 1410 814, Satellite 2410-303, Satellite 2410-304 s, Satellite 1410 354, 2410-601 Satellite, Satellite 1410-401, {color: #ff0000} * Satellite 1410 604 * {color}, Satellite 2410-404, Satellite 1410-301, Satellite 1410-304, Satellite 2410 S403, Satellite Pro 2100, Satellite 1410 S203, Satellite 2410-304, Satellite 1410 554, Satellite 1410 S102, Satellite 1410 - 354F, Satellite 2410 703, Satellite 1410-303, Satellite 2410 - S203, Satellite 1410-801, Satellite 2410 603, Satellite 1410-902. ', Satellite 1410-313, Satellite 1410-802, Satellite 1410 714, Satellite 2410-354, Satellite 2410 514, Satellite 1410-614, Satellite 1410 704, Satellite 2410 515, Satellite 2410-504, 2410-702 Satellite, Satellite 1410 S103.

  Yes... it's here!

  Now when you go into the "Toshiba BIOS update information", you get:

  "Ref. FAQ: TRO0000000b07.

  A BIOS update is a {color: #ff0000} * operation is relatively simple and can be done by computer more competent users * {color}. All BIOS updates can be obtained from "BIOS update" Section download click here...

  Note: the BIOS files are specific machine the correct BIOS for your machine should be used. »

  Please note that Toshiba does not disencourage BIOS manipulation, on the contrary: they even encourage people to do. It is not badly needed, but at the same time that they encourage people to 'play' with such a delicate question, at the end of this page, in small letters, they say:

  "Toshiba provides this information"as is"{color: #ff0000} * without warranty of any kind * {color}, explicit or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of quality market or adequacy has a specific use." Toshiba shall not be liable to the topicality, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. {color: #ff0000} * Toshiba is not responsible for damage caused by the use of any information provided, including incomplete or incorrect information * {color}. »

  This should trigger yellow alarms in our minds.

  + "Human error is inherent in man, and it is not possible to eradicate. It will be displayed always, sooner or later"(Prof. James Reason). +

  And finally, I made the mistake. Although I have read this warning, I remembered all these successful BIOS update with COMPAQ and relied for Toshiba. This update was available there, and Toshiba told me that it was for this computer. Great!

  So finally, I disconnected all devices (USB), removed the PCMCIA (WLAN), plugged the battery charger to avoid any possible battery problem, restarted windows, and then Windows started the update (windows version, such as recommended by Toshiba). This drug looked very nice, nothing different from what I usually see on these old COMPAQs.

  As reported by the update program, the system would restart. And in fact he did.

  Windows normally closed (a little faster than normal, but without mistakes, and since there is no other programs that most - even the antivirus not working - no), the computer turned off, all lights (normal) offshore, and then again on...

  {color: #0000ff} * BEEEEEEEEEEEEP... BEEEP... ... BEEEEP * {color}

  OMG! I never movement something SO bad. 3-1-1!

  And now... What a 3-1-1 is here? Award BIOS would mean no card graphics or video deffective card, but it is not true, because it worked 20 seconds ago. There are BIOS.

  He never came again to life. He's still 3-1-1 beep.

  But now comes the investigation on the human factors involved in this accident.

  I found I committed the following errors:

  * (1) * rely in the constructor, even if they have WRITTEN their information may be incorrect or incomplete. (BAD if I was a detective QA & QC).

  * (2) * I cross checked deep enough (until it was already too late).

  * (3) * I haven't looked above for how to make a backup of the BIOS to restore must anything deceive you.

  * (4) * let Toshiba lead me to a path that I didn't walk, just because of their supply of 'increased functionality.

  * (5) * Beleave in Toshiba when they said "relatively simple operation and can be performed by the most competent computer users"... they never said it is infallible. "."

  Then I began the most interesting part of the investigation.

  {color: #0000ff} * "what went wrong?" * {color}

  Obviously, the update of the BIOS has not somewhere, somewhere. And I wanted to know what and where.

  First thing, I discovered that there is another Toshiba search engine called "askiris" ([http://askiris.toshiba.com]) and I looked to see if, for any chance I could get the old BIOS 1.20 version which was installed at the origin of this machine.

  And I found something... VERY interesting:

  GOOD! Or not?

  Let's take a look:

  First thing I did was download all four files.

  Then I took the same version that made the accident: 1.40

  I unzipped the file, which I found:

  And I got my first surprise here: there is a {color: #ff0000} * README. TXT * {color} that was not present in the file that I downloaded earlier from the repository of drivers.

  So I went the readme.txt and I found this:

  'README. CDC TXT 31/01/2003

  Please note that the model 1410-604 is * NOT * listed.

  I thought ' well, there must be another archive... ". »

  But then I realized a name that seems familiar, that is, in the directory where I unzipped this file 1.40, and the name is:

  {color: #0000ff} * 2410A9V140. EXE * {color}

  So I took the other file, the update of BIOS_Win, and I discovered that the name of the file is:

  * {color: #0000ff} 2410A9V140. EXE, {color} * (Ups!)

  So I once again, uncompressed to find:

  Then another issue raised in my mind: what happened to the other file 1.40? What did the other 2410A9V140. EXE are inside?

  * {color: #ff0000} they have two 20 files and 1 046 461 bytes. I asumed that they are the SAME two folder {color} *.

  And the readme file does not list the model 1410-604 in its readme file, so I can't explain it except as a Toshiba error. * {color: #ff0000} they put an incorrect BIOS on their website and has proposed updating and somehow lead to such mistakes. {color} *.

  (Except in the case that one of these models is a name that is different from the model 1410-604, and if that's the case... now I don't know why this BIOS do not work with this computer).

  The worst thing is that neither the other files (V1.10, 1.20 and 1.30) lists the 1410-604, apparently so no solution possible workaround for this problem. I need an original v1.20 to the CMOS, and Toshiba seems to have. They offered me to solve the problem, leaving the laptop to an ASP, and pay only € 95 for the work and about € 280 for a motherboard replacement, I will get it resolved. But they offer no guarantees of their possibilities because is a model "too old" and "abandoned" and "unsupported"...

  In other words, they said 'you don't have to bother with it, just go and buy a new' (something of quite out of my reach in this time of crisis): P

  Thanks for reading so far.

  Now, what I need is to get ideas on a work around for this, my ideas are:

  (1) the CMOS has some startup that works (it allows a roll-back if you have the appropriate file). So I need a good BIOS to burn in the CMOS memory, the SAME SAME model (a backup BIOS) but the backup should be sufficient for the burning program (CHGBIOSA.COM).

  (2) it is always possible that the BIOS might be OK, but the CMOS data has been corrupted somehow. If so, the CMOS of compensation could solve problem. But I wasn't able to find a clear cmos from the outside button, and after disasembling I took battery, with no good result. I try to leave the MOBO without battery for a period more long (I left it about 20 seconds) just in case where 20 seconds are not all capacitors for well pass zero values. I don't have a lot of hope in this point.

  (3) try to get a REAL good update from Toshiba. I contacted technical support several times, and I was able to verify that they are only - phone operators, with a script in front of them, and when the problem is going - out of reach, they fall in the same response: "you must go to an ASP. I still have a faint hope to find someone who really knows a little and could illuminate with a good BIOS in this disc.

  (4) as far as I could find, this BIOS is not any BIOS-manufacturer known. It seems that it has been developed by Toshiba (own brand), so the Phoenix crisis recovery disk won't be of any help here. As well as any other BIOS recovery tool not designed for Toshiba BIOS. But I'm open to all ideas, which could be put to the test more or less safely. (Remember that the 'BIOS-BOOT-PART' feature still works, I don't want to lose that possibility alone of redemption).

  Wwwaaaaoooowww... what a falks long post! Sorry about that!

  Forgive me, but I wanted to be really clear.

  Someone give some tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.

  Please don't say that I shouldn't be doing... I already know that. I already did some research and found my mistakes, not to repeat them. Now, I need to spend, to move and to try to solve this problem, or at least learn to solve similar things. As much as possible.

  Thank you once again, in advance, and sorry again.

  Hi Fenix,

  Wow... He tooked a lot of time to read your post...

  Maybe I can help you.

  The Bios in the website is the right one. If you have downloaded the right version of the Bios.

  Toshiba America, which has most of the time the Askiris you used isn't accurate models for Toshiba Europe.
  This should be the reason, why does not the readme file contain the European model.

  I'll try to do an update of the fresh Bios using the update of the traditional Bios.

  Copy the files on the disk, put it in the floppy drive, press and hold power on the notebook tab.
  After that the laptop is off, press on and hold the key on the left side of space power on the laptop new bar and wait until it turns off again.

  If your laptop does not power perhaps the most, the RAM is default?

  Therefore, if the use of the traditional Bios or change memory doesn't help, and your laptop is still dead you should go to a SPA, but it will cost money.

  I now have my fourth Toshiba laptop and I had never problems with the Bios updates.

  The 1410 is very old I think, so before you go to a SPA, I'd buy a new ;)

  Best regards

• Equium L40-14i BIOS update now no start

  Hi all
  I had some problems with my lappie, checked if Toshiba support looking for updated drivers to slow down.
  They was a BIOS update with specified 2.00WIN an improvement in performance.

  My BIOS is v 1.60
  I'm running Vista and my model number is PSL49E

  There are warnings that this update is only for the models running Vista and PSL49x - so I thought that I was ok.

  The windows Flash update and I have a popup dialog told me that this was necessary.
  When the computer reboots, I pressed F2 and the version of the BIOS showed 2.00
  Then, I left the BIOS Setup and nada!
  Black screen, nothing else.
  The blue light is on power list, by nothing else the HARD disk light.

  It can be reflashed using FN + F and using the usb disk?
  If Yes, where can I download the BIOS original version 1.6

  Thanks a lot for any help

  Hello

  Seems that something wrong happened during the update of the BIOS.
  Possibly the ROM module was not properly flashed.
  If the ROM module must be flashed once more.

  The problem is that the European driver Toshiba page provides just the BIOS version focused on victory and this can be modified only from Windows OS.

  But I found the traditional BIOS on Toshiba page:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  But I can't very well if this BIOS would be compatible with your L40 so in this case, you will need to request the ASP from Toshiba in your country for assistance and for flashing the BIOS using the crisis disk BIOS m.

• Satellite Pro L100 does not work after BIOS update

  Okay, the computer is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L100 PSLA4. Problem occurred during an update of the BIOS on the official website of Toshiba. I downloaded the zip file, it extracts and activated the .exe file at the Interior.

  The window opened by the .exe is a program flashing BIOS, the .exe wrote at the same time a new BIOS file to a temporary folder.
  When he tried to use the program I got was an error saying it couldn't find the new BIOS to the entrance.

  I tried again only to get the same error. Then I left the laptop for several minutes and when I got home, I found a laptop no longer Virgin.
  On which I hear by an obvious lack of BIOS functions i.e. power LED does not change when the connection to disconnect it from the power outlet and the fact that I had to take out the battery to turn off the machine. When the power is turned on now it is check readers and restarts (no display, no beeps)

  What should I do?
  The first thing that comes to mind was to reset the BIOS.
  A problem, I can not find the RTC battery or a rider switch.

  Hi George

  I can't tell why it happened, but I can tell what happened.

  In my opinion, something went wrong during the process of updating the BIOS and the ROM modules was not writer properly.

  Simply says the BIOS update procedure has failed.
  In this case, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for a fix
  The technician must be able to rewrite the ROM module and updated the BIOS again.

  Good luck buddy

  See you soon

• Equium A60-173 does not work after bios update

  Computer laptop girls. A lot of windows screen blue/broken files. Who sets. Site Web de Toshiba says 1.8 bios c can stop it again - Web site also announces 1.90 bios. To go with this...

  Tried to Flash the Bios 1.90 which you have to do in the (stupid) windows. Naturally it hangs during the "preparing for the bios update", with only 15% of progress. WAITED a very long time (30-45 minutes) - no progress took place. Had to turn off the machine and had clearly not worked.

  Now the machine will even not respond to the switch. I was expecting a momentary start - but it's like the power switch has been disconnected. Actually attaching the power supply does not even turn on the power light!

  Can a flash failure turn off the machine so much?
  Or would it be another fault (as well!)?

  Thanks for the tips...

  > Not waited a very long time (30-45 minutes) - no progress has occurred. Had to turn off the machine

  Looks like you broke upward from the procedure of updating the BIOS and it's deadly!
  I put t see any other possibility as to contact the ASP in your country for assistance!

  Maybe you are a lucky man and module ROM on the motherboard is not damage and must be flashed only
  Please note that the update of the BIOS is risky! If you use an incorrect BIOS or update wrong procedure can damage the MB

• Satellite P205D-4378 crashed so that the BIOS update

  Hello everyone,

  It is my first post on the forum, although I've read here a lot.

  My problem seems to be classic: had several problems with my Satellite P205D-4378 crash.
  Visited the Web from Toshiba site, they have a BIOS update that fixes the problems that I have. I do the update, CRAAAASH!, dead computer.

  Death seriously.

  Turn on the other computer, search, find a few websites on "crisis recovery disk Phoenix.

  I read religiously, run to the store, buy a FDD, some readers, usb, the Bios file download, rename, make the drive...

  Trembling with anxiety, I press FN + b, switch on the machine, and it works!

  Well well... at least the works of the Zombie fashion: pink LED, high speed fans, manages the USB FDD, begins the USB FDD, he read for a good two minutes! Then nothing.

  'It's ok, it'll be ok' I think. The starting block is a program that is not more than 4 k, the computer has no bios, impossible to use anything, and must digest a 1000 k bios.

  I wait, nothing happens.

  SO what now? I tried the 'start FDD' ten times at least. Last try, I waited all night! I Went sleep after the computer read the floppy).

  Whatever I do, once the disk has been read, nothing happens.

  I turn it off, I unplug it, I try with battery, no battery, I speak well, I insult, I pray, I cry, I swear... NOTHING WORKS!

  I do something wrong, somewhere.

  On my drive are the phlash16.exe, the minidos.sys and the bios.wph (extract from a file named AASA40. ROM, downloaded with the pack zip on the toshiba site)

  What should I do? I read it on some forums that computer makers like Dell and Compaq deliberately disable the Boot Block Flash, is the same thing with Toshiba?

  The latest version of the bios that I have downloaded is corrupted?

  Is it possible that my motherboard is physically by the update failed? In this case, is it easy to replace yourself?

  I don't want to be ripped off by Toshiba for repair, if the only thing that I miss so far is a combination of keys at the end of the flash Boot Block recovery...

  In short, I'm lost.

  No idea to this wonderful group of reflection?

  Thank you

  Baaharb.

  I think that the update of the BIOS based on windows is security more like an update of the traditional Bios.
  Why? Because using the traditional BIOS there is always a risk that the wrong BIOS would be used.
  The BIOS using focused on victory, this risk does not exist.

  I know a lot of people who uses a bad BIOS and damaged module BIOS ROM.

  Anyway. To show you, I think that there is one solution as mentioned by delvoie, you will have to contact the local ASP.

  See you soon

• Yoga 2 Pro Black Screen after Bios Update

  Only, I have formatted my yoga 2 pro, downloaded the drivers and ran the update of the Bios. I followed the instructions on playing ran me the .exe, one click on next/ok until you restart the laptop and if I'm not mistaken a menu red with a progress bar appeared. At this time, I left and when I came back a few minutes later, the laptop is on, the lighting of the screen was on but the screen was black, the backlight of the keyboard was also turned on and everything else was off. Lights on/near the switch indicating if there turned on and connected to the AC are off.

  It was like that for more than 30 minutes now, no sign of progress. This happened to someone else before? I'm not very keen on must turn off or unplug the laptop while flashing the BIOS, but at this point there is not much else I can do.

  I found the answer to my problem to

  Now that I found this post, I remember the instructions telling me to turn it off manually when I've updated the bios earlier this year. However, these instructions don't mention about it, maybe they should be updated?

• bios update wrong

  I have an acer aspire xc - 603, who had the newest bios update for my p11 - b2 model.  I acidently updated my bios version p11 - B4, which is intended for sucks it xc - 603 G.  How would I fix this?  Flash the bios with the original version of p11 - b2?

  If the flashing allow you to go back to a previous version, Yes, try it. (not always the best thing to do, returning to a previous BIOS version)

  If not and your system is stable, I would leave it as it is.
