• Tecra M2 - updated BIOS is not supported

  Hello; I have a Tecra M2 I want to update BIOS.

  I downloaded it from the Toshiba site, specified for this model. But when I unzip in my book, there is a message that says "Bios Update v. 3.2.8. This computer is not supported. But my laptop is a 32-bit computer, and there is nothing strange about this... What is going on?

  I need a help. (It's only a simple update BIOS...)

  Thank you

  J.

  Hello

  The Bios Update v. 3.2.8 error message. This computer is not supported"might appear because the DMI information that contains the name of the laptop and other details of s notebook is wrong.
  In this case the DMI must be updated.

  The other reason why you are not able to update the BIOS, it is this tool called common Modules is not installed on your laptop.
  So install it and check if you can update the BIOS

  Last but not least, the reason could be the preinstalled OS, I hope you are using Win XP in order to update the BIOS

• Tecra A3: update BIOS "bad rom file szie" [sic]

  If I try to update my bios, I get an error message "bad szie rom file" and Yes, it's the way it is spelled.
  Also when I try to update the software for my multidrive - Toshiba sent me the link for him - said: 'drive not found '. What is going on??

  Hello

  Tecra A3 is pretty new and it will be interesting to know why you want to update BIOS. Y at - it no problems with it?

  What BIOS update doesn't run windows or traditional? If you have any problem, don't do it at all.

  The problem with your multidrive is a bit confusing to me. What software you should install?

• A11 update BIOS for Inspiron 7520.

  I found the BIOS update for my Inspiron 15R SE 7520 on these pages.

  1 http://goo.gl/dQ74hv

  2 http://goo.gl/pfQBnn

  I use Windows 8.1 (originally system was preloaded with Win 8) which is originally a few small problems as the notification touchpad light (turn on or off the light-small orange LED) is does not, airplane mode has several entries like when you press Fn + F2, airplane mode is on but system shows that it is disabled.

  Is that these problems is resolved in this BIOS?

  Is it safe to upgrade to A11 or is this some sort of BIOS beta?

  Please also may I know the all issues resolved in this update BIOS?

  Thank you.

  I won't hijack your post, but I've been struggling with this laptop and its capabilities. "" dealing with mainly the ATI graphics card.

  I came across another post, who directed me to your question. "' Google '.

  I also found the bios A11 on the website of dell, but when I search or you enter my tag, it only shows the bios update A10.-c' is the bios A11, not recommended? Why do you think that his is no longer available when you select or enter serial number?

  http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/product/Inspiron-15R-se-7520?driverId=XM6VN

  I wonder if you happen to have used the A11? Did you notice a difference? I noticed, that it is said

  (((Reinforced ATI VBIOS for new Samsung VRAM.)))

  Or maybe someone reads this, was lucky enough to use the bios A11?

  Your help would be greatly appreciated.

• Defective spare battery - seller says I need to update BIOS - advice needed

  Any advice will be appreciated.

  I bought a spare online battery for my laptop. Since the replacement of the battery, the PC has increased its noise level (IE more often that otherwise seems overwork), so I did a "HP Battery Check" and the result States "one or several cells don't work properly. I contacted the seller, and they say I need to update my BIOS.

  I'm a little worried about it for several reasons:
  1. the software clearly indicates that the battery is not working properly.
  2. the computer and all other software works well.
  3. I have never played with before BIOS and after googling "update of the BIOS", almost all suggest "DO NOT go" unless: you know what you do / the problem is clearly a related problem of BIOS (HP State diagnostics is the battery... and shows no system other problems).

  I'm ok with the replacement of hard drives, RAM etc and treat fairly confident with most software and hardware problems, but I never tried to update a BIOS... and as I need my laptop (and all software running on this subject at the moment) and do not want to go through the stress of venturing into uncharted territory on a current PC - I'm more tempted to just buy another battery from a different company and put this to a bad experience online, as the seller does not simply want for refund or Exchange (as much as the cost of replacing the battery... still!... compared to the opening of a world of problems after trying to update a BIOS which seems to work very well anyway!).

  As I said, any advice would be really appreciated

  Thanks in advance

  James

  PS No. knew software or hardware has been installed since the replacement of the battery

  Details of the laptop: HP G70 111EA laptop, Intel Core Duo T5800 @ 2.00 GHz, 3 GB RAM, Vista Home Premium (32 bit).

  If the purchased battery has been specified in the appropriate type for your computer, I see no reason why a BIOS update would make a difference. More likely, the seller hope you will turn your computer into a brick by updating the BIOS, making it a moot issue bad battery.

  Before you start, I would do anything I can to put in place from an outside source if the battery is actually defective. If you do not know someone with a similar laptop, a computer store or from taking the battery might check what said you that your software. A bad cell in a battery is usually obvious by a voltage drop so that the battery either distributes the specified voltage or it is not.

  If the battery is really bad, they know you ship the battery to them (signature required) and then proceed to cancel any credit card (or other method of payment online product/service) charges. While online sales generally operate at profit margins very tight, which, in itself, does not not to honour a request for an exchange of the product. Stop payment on an item usually attracts attention.

• Tecra A11 - cannot start the BIOS update

  Hello

  I downloaded the latest update of the Bios B2.50 - EC1.80 for Tecra A11-127 (PTSE0E. Wenn I start installing, an error occurs: "this computer is not supported", but my laptop is an A11-127 with Partnumber PTSE0E, why it doesn't work?

  Why is he not possibel to download an old Version of the Bios?

  JSpindler

  Hi jspindler,

  The question is why you want to update the BIOS? This update should be carried out only if it of really necessary. In addition, only the most recent update of the BIOS can be downloaded as it fixes most problems.

  In any case, you need to start the BIOS as an administrator and you should decompress all files from zip archive before start you. Also, make sure that the value added package is installed.

  By the way: what operating system is installed?

• Tecra A11 - 11N - after that the BIOS update programs not loading now

  My model is Tecra A11 - 11N. I ran the BIOS update and now some of my programs, including ITunes, Nokia Ovisuite, payer VLC etc. are not running. I tried to uninstall and reinstall them, but same problems.

  In any case to come back before upgrade?

  Hi evangny,

  I also Tecra A11 in front of me and have installed latest version of BIOS but this didn't affect all installed programs. BIOS and installed programs are different.
  What you can do is load the default settings in the BIOS after the update.

  Can you be a bit more detailed?
  What exactly happens if you try to start these programs? You get an error message?

  You use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?

• Tecra A11 - 1EG - cannot be accessed after the supervisor setting BIOS password

  Hello, I would like to know if anyone can help?

  We have started to put a supervisor on our laptop Tecra A11 password so that our students can not set passwords on the hard drive, etc.

  To enter the BIOS and set a BIOS password, press us F2 that the machine starts.
  Then we go to the security option, then supervisor password.
  After entering the password we use twice, press us F10 to save etc.

  The machine starts ok and will windows smoothly.

  The problem we have now, is that we cannot go back into the bios at all.
  As machine starts support us on the "F2" key as before, but unlike previously the screen remains white and the "Toshiba leading Innovation > ' screen no longer appears."

  If we keep our finger on the F' key or continue pressing the laptop restarts just without ever get to the BIOS screen where I guess that get us ask the supervisor password that we set earlier?

  Is there another key, that we should be pressing that start the laptop?

  I would add that we have added a password of supervisor for the screen of security BIOS on three of our laptops and all three have the same problem.

  Thank you

  Steve

  I think this should be useful for you:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0B032D0000R01.htm

  In some cases, you need to press the "INS" in Toshiba logo appears.

  Then appears a prompt for the password for the supervisor and if the password is certified then the BIOS could be entered by pressing the "F2" key

• Tecra A11 - problems of the more recent/video BIOS

  Hi all

  I just got a Toshiba Tecra A11 the other day which is out of warranty (Refurb). When I got the laptop there is a problem where the photo was displayed at 1024 x 768 and biased (in BIOS). Image 1-2cm off the screen to the left, with over the space of 5-6 cm black to the right of the picture, the low 2-3 cm of the image were also the bottom of the screen.

  I installed Ubuntu Studio initially and attempted to force the display to a wide screen resolution. I didn't have a chance, I also installed Win7, but still with the latest drivers, I had no chance.

  It was strange because the BIOS was displayed in the same way, so, naturally, I decided to upgrade to the latest version of the BIOS. The BIOS of the laptop is quite old (end of 2009).
  I downloaded the update to the BIOS of Toshiba web site and ran the update.

  The new BIOS has been installed and rebooted the machine.
  However there was no image displayed on the LCD screen, windows startup has done successfully, if I connect to an external monitor to the laptop I brush. When starting the laptop backlight LCD lights.

  My question is: what can I do to fix this? Is a tool of recovery or down to BIOS available? Is it possible to reflash the bios? What is recommended?

  Thank you.

  > The new BIOS has been installed and rebooted the machine.

  This means that everything is ok with the external monitor?
  You can access the BIOS by pressing F2 and you can set it to the default settings?

  Usually, you can switch between the external and internal view using the FN + F5 key combination. It work?

• Re: BIOS version 3.30 Tecra A11/M11: problems with Ubuntu systems?

  I just got the updated BIOS version 3.30 on my Tecra A11/M11 invitation.
  I'm still under Win7 now, but plan to add a dual boot with Ubuntu when the next LTS strikes in April.

  Is anyone having problems with the new BIOS?
  Should I upgrade or leave intact 3.20?

  I don't find any evidence of trouble with 3,20.

  Why upgrade BIOS if everything is OK?

  In addition to as much as I know that Toshiba can't stand not the Linux operating system, and I doubt that the new BIOS would improve any Linux performance so, if you are satisfied with the version 3.20, stay with that

  This error message appears if you want to update a BIOS that is not compatible with your model of laptop.
  Toshiba pilot European page provides the BIOS 2.10Win for this model of laptop.
  If you have used certainly bad BIOS.

  > There is no response when you press on the "FN" key and one of the number keys f

  If the issue should be resolved install common Modules v 6.06.00, 4.30.15 utilities
  Notes; You need to press FN + 1, 2, 3 etc. DON T press FN + F1 etc.

  First be sure that the AHCI is enabled in the BIOS.
  In addition, the Intel Storage Manager controls the AHCI so you should integrate the AHCI driver to CD Win XP as described here:
