Tecra M5 Bios update it's illegal

Current bios version of my M5 is 1.20. I tried the update 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6. Each update, says that it is an illegal update for this machine and it will not be installed. If someone had a similar problem and know a work around?

Thanks in advance.

HEY Joe,

According to the Toshiba web site the last BIOS available for the Tecra M5 (model PTM50) is version 1.20, and for model PTM51, it is version 1.60. Both versions are dated dated September 15, 2006 are therefore quite new.

It is unlikely that you will be able to use a BIOS from other sources, since he must be specific to the model of laptop you have.

Moreover, the two versions of the BIOS are available in traditional formats and Windows.

Kind regards

  • Problem of Tecra M5 BIOS update

    I downloaded the file from the Toshiba site and now have P003Fv370.exe. Race that happens just with "update of the BIOS is not supported OS, unsupported operating system or service pack is installed". I was under the impression that it was independent BONES? Please help, I need to update to stop it crashing and blue screening me every half hour. I have already installed the value-added package.

    I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 PTM51E
    Running Windows 7 Enterprise
    Current installed BIOS is version 1.70

    I also read somewhere on the installation with a USB key, if someone could help I would appreciate it. Thank you.

    Post edited by: deleting
    Just tried again and it says "Could not create"C:\TOSHBIOS. " UPD file! "I don't know what is happening more.

    Hello

    The P003Fv370.exe is a package.
    Right click on that package and select unpack here.
    Now you should see the other folders inside this .exe package.

    From my knowledge, it takes a file that starts the BIOS update.

    If it won't work, I guess you need the original preinstalled system Toshiba update BIOS.
    The other hand I n t think that BSOD appears due to the old version of the BIOS.
    I guess that the update does not solve the problem.

    Maybe the BSOD appears due to a problem of critical software or hardware issues so would be really interesting to know if the same thing happens with the help of preinstalled Toshiba system

  • Re: Tecra M9 bios update without windows

    Is it possible to do a Bios Update (acutally I have 1.50)

    Thank you
    GerryH

    Hello

    I doubt you'd be able to update the BIOS on the Opensolaris OS.

    The Toshiba page provides only focused on the victory of the BIOS, which means that you need to install windows to update the BIOS.

    The traditional BIOS version allowing you to update the BIOS by using the USB disk is not available for download.

    I think that only FSA (authorized service providers) availability to perform a BIOS update using the diskette.

    There are not a lot to say. If your device has sticker Vista capable Toshiba will support them to upgrade to Vista. When not I Don t believe you will find Vista BIOS update in the future.

    Help... my first visit on this forum looking for a kindly soul to out me of trouble. My wife has a Tecra 8000 (European version) with P2 400 mhz. To start, she "prepares for the BIOS update". I managed to find what seems to me to be good download on this site, the 'traditional' version for computers that do not run on 500 mhz or higher?

  • Tecra M4 - BIOS update fails

    I'm updating my M4 with the Toshiba BIOS provided for support of Windows Vista. It can be found here: http://www.csdsupport.toshiba.com/tais/csd/support/windows_vista/vista_beta.cgi?lsAction=list_files&model_id=1

    However, the update process fails. I can unzip the file downloaded to a file, but then fails it to process with a generic-looking message "install2 has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    My M4 is currently leading the BIOS version 1.70, 14/02/2006.

    Any ideas? Maybe is there a way I can do an update of the traditional BIOS with the new file?

    Be careful with the BIOS updates. I put t know where you bought your Tecra but you try to install the update BIOS, designed for the laptop models in the United States.

    If you have European mobile phone use just updates BIOS you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  • BIOS update failed on Tecra R10 with Windows7

    Hello

    I have problems with the update the BIOS of my Tecra R10J. The current version is 1.4, and I want to upgrade to 3.0, so I downloaded from the Toshiba web site the good file named "P006Cv300.exe" 2009-11-04 released. It is an update of the BIOS online in a real session of Windows 7. Simply right click the compress exe, click Run as admin and that is all, but... for me, he said:
    * "[Error] the start of the service was abandoned. The user doesn't have administrative privileges. "

    See below:
    http://perso.Orange.fr/100Mo/bioserror.jpg

    I tried with:
    -closed AV, firewall, etc...
    -turn off UAC
    -Run as administrator
    -Tried with another admin account
    -Safe mode (update of the bios doesn't support safe mode)
    -lead the local administrator session

    No change. Always the message "user lacks administrative privileges."
    Need help please, found nothing on Google (similar but not resolved Bios problem!)

    Thank you

    Hey ignore them,

    As Akuma has already written the added value Package must be installed for BIOS update for the BIOS to read system information correctly. Besides, the VAP is needed for special functions such as the FN keys so it must be installed.

    It would be interesting to know what is happening with the factory settings. I guess that your computer laptop wasn t ship with Windows 7, but with Vista and you should try it with Vista.
