T430s: Unable to update BIOS

My T430s BIOS would not updated via System Update Utility, so I downloaded the executable Windows utility. This utility gave me an error saying: "the process does not have this system." I also tried the CD utility, but it gave me an error message saying "the file system is not correct for this system." The BIOS I downloaded is the correct version for my system - 2, 52. Any ideas what could be the problem?

More information:

OS - 64 bit Windows 8

Current BIOS: 2.05

Disabled legacy with Secure Boot UEFI boot mode

Passwords and lock off

My motherboard has been replaced today. BIOS updated very well and I can now put the supervisor password. I think the solution here was to replace my motherboard.

The technician who replaced the Council stated that it works on HP, Dell, Lenovo and Apple laptops. According to him, Lenovo sees the least number of problems except for the CPU fan goes wrong. Apparently, this has been a problem for years, but Lenovo refuses to change fan supplier.

I'm happy to have a computer to work again. My wife is looking to buy a new laptop for the next quarter. She said this weekend that she wants just a computer on which she can trust to work - she wants a Thinkpad. Unfortunately, my experience with Lenovo priority support left me a bitter taste in my mouth - the Thinkpads are really different than other laptops in the same price range?

  • Re: Unable to update BIOS on Satellite A660

    My laptop Toshiba Satellite A660 from the hard drive (psaw3a-07t00r) does not so I bought a new one (WD500BEVT) when I put in the laptop and try to install windows, it tells me
    "This computer hardware cannot support the start on this disc, make sure that the drive controller is enabled in the computer's Bios menu"

    In the bios, the only option I could find associated is the SATA controller Mode which when changed to compatibility, it will not boot the disk and just shows a white screen.

    BIOS version is greater than 230.
    Battery capacity more than 20%.
    AC is attached

    So I don't know what the problem is I have the attached power and the battery is fully charged.

    Hello

    The history is somewhat strange. With friends, HARD drive, everything is OK, but with one is not new. Is it not suspicious somehow for you?
    Is that the BIOS update, I think, won't help you any, because with the update of the BIOS, you may not receive certain additional options, so in the whole BIOS update is not so important.

    I don t know that HDD was inside, but my opinion is that you should order the same or buy another HARD drive.
    I ve checked specification for WD500BEVT and for me it's OK.
    Have you tried to set the BIOS for the parameters by default until you ve started installing Windows?

  • X 220-unable to update BIOS

    The Lenovo support page lists the new BIOS as being appropriate for this model. The BIOS reports the correct model and serial number.

  • Elitepad 1000 G2: Elitepad 1000 impossible G2 update bios or boot on USB

    My G2 Elitepad 1000 was repaired in December because he did not work with Elitepad docking station. Support has replaced the motherboard.

    Now I'm unable to upgrade BIOS or even boot from a USB device.

    BIOS upgrades fail with the following error "an error has occurred during flash EFI.

    I tried to create a recovery USB flash drive (for flashing BIOS), but am not able to boot to the USB device (according to instructions).

    I was also unable to start on another USB support such as Windows, boot CD installers, etc...

    My tablet is now out of warranty (1 July... grrrr) and I can not open a service request.

    Please help.

    Given that HP did not respond, I kept searching for answers.

    The anniversary of 10 Windows Update yesterday failed with the error:

    "We could not update system reserved partition."

    So I searched for the error and found this MS support document: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3086249

    It seems that HP had broke the 100 MB EFI Partition (System Reserved Partition) with updates and it prevented additional updates to the partition.

    I followed the instructions for Windows 7 or 8/8.1 with GPT partition and was able to update my BIOS. I will try to update Windows 10 now.

  • Satellite T135 - update BIOS 2.70 won't be finished

    I have a Satellite T135 Win7 running with an original BIOS that I'm moving to 2.70. I ran all the other software updates in Service Station (2.1.51) with no problems. but the BIOS downloads 2.7, initiates and cautions that I'll need to reboot (I select Yes to execute) and receive notice of popup on the electrical problem (defective DC) which corrects this BIOS, then nothing. It just stops.

    I disabled my firewall windows antivirus, but the update is still unable to fill. I downloaded the file directly from Toshiba (outside the Service Station) and run the file and exactly the same thing happens.
    The event viewer shows all the related entries.

    Anyone has an idea on how to get the updated BIOS up-to-date?

    Hi mwarwick,

    Did you install any new version of package of added value of the Web from Toshiba site? This program is necessary if you want to update the BIOS to check if you have installed the latest version.

    In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS before doing the update. Then, go into the BIOS, press F9 to load the default values, save & exit it.

    Can update you the BIOS now?

  • iOS 10: unable to update the applications due to Conditions General timeout

    I updated my iPhone 6s to iOS 10 a couple of days and now seem to be unable to update applications. The issue seems to stem from a prompt to read and accept the new "Apple Media Services terms and Conditions." When I click the button to proceed with conditions, a new empty window appears and then things churning just until the request times out (see photos). The same thing happens when I click on "View the apple ID" in the app store or through settings, even if in this case the terms guest does not appear and it charges only up to the time limit. It seems to me that the problem lies in the redirection of the terms of apple. Anyone who has experienced this since the update or does anyone have advice?

    I already tried things:

    -force settings, closed and app store

    -restart the phone

    -disconnected and signed apple ID (this feature works in the app store and the parameters)

    -tested 'show apple ID them' on the phone to my wife (6 s on the same wifi network), successful but the phone still is iOS 9

    -tested "show the apple ID" via iTunes with my macbook, successful and I seem not to be invited to accept the new conditions

    Thank you!
