• 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

• Tecra M7: Various errors after upgrading the BIOS version 3.30

  After that I updated my bios to 3.30 I have the following problem:

  -A edge wireless turns off after a while and can not be activated until I restart.
  -Battery information is wrong. I tested the system, I can use 1 hour after he said that my battery is 0%

  How can I solve this problem? I have to downgrade my bios version?

  Kind regards.

  Hi mate,

  Let's see if my advice would be useful for you:

  1. try to reinstall the driver by downloading the latest version of the driver on the Drivers Toshiba download site. What you could also try is to disable the powermanagment for the wireless network adapter. (Just go into Device Manager, find the wireless card, and that there should be an option with a checkbox to disable)

  2. it's really rare, never heard talk about this issue. One idea would be to change all the parameters powersaver to your machine so that the battery will empty without entering in the day before etc... Just let the machine work until the battery is empty. Then remove it for about 1-2 hours, reattach and start windows. The battery should indicate 0% and then you leave the machine to load the battery. (the machine must be turned on). I hope that the battery must show it s correct percentage after you complete these steps.

  Welcome them

  PS: Please write again if it worked

• Re: Tecra M9 bios update without windows

  I have a Tecra M9 runs only [Opensolaris 2009.06 | http://opensolaris.org/os/downloads/] on this subject.
  Is it possible to do a Bios Update (acutally I have 1.50)

  Is there an ISO image or back - tools so I can create my own ISO image...

  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.

• Tecra M5 BIOS is not compatible with Windows Vista

  Hello, I ran the Vista Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft, and he pointed out that the BIOS on my Tecra M5 was not compatible with Vista and to contact Toshiba. I am running version 1.7 - the most recent available I think. Toshiba will release a version that will be compatible with Vista, or a fix so that I can run Vista on my M5?

  I forgot to mention that the machine is a M5 UK (PTM51E)
  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I guess Tecra M5 Vista capable label. Am I wrong?

  I know for each unit of Vista, laptop manufacturer will offer the proper BIOS version, as well as drivers, tools and utilities.

  In short time Vista will be placed on the market and after the official launch, all this kind of stuff should be available on download page.

  I have improved my Tecra S5 BIOS to version 2.0. But when I enter the BIOS, I can only change properties on the first page PGUP PGDN keys, for change of page does not work for me. Everyone knows the same behavior?

  There is a game of the bios supervisor password.
  Turn on the laptop with the INS key. Now you can enter the supervisor password, and you will get the full bios.
  You can change/clear the password and the policy settings using the password of Toshiba.

• Tecra 8000 BIOS update

  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? Only problem is that I know this must be installed through FDD we have with the laptop, but we have no way to open the file on disk. Neither our computers from home or at work have a floppy drive to open and copy the downloaded file. We were wondering if anyone has a copy, or access to a floppy drive to produce a copy and send it to us? We would be more than happy incurred to help us.

  It is not complicated. I'm sure you can do it alone.

  Good luck!

• 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.

• 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

  Anyone know why the BIOS version 01.07 (sp76235) for EliteBook 840 G3 is taken?

  Link to the BIOS:

  The date is 1 January 3000 so he has obvisoly something wrong and HP do not want to install, I have deployed it to a large number of machines and would like to know what kind of questions, it is hoped.

  A new version 01.10 came out with these fixes:

  -Fixes a problem that causes the display to become visually distorted (flicker).
  -Fixes an issue where a system running Windows 7 with active hard drive encryption is unable to power (boot) after the BIOS is updated.
  -Prevents the BIOS downgraded below the 1.09 version.
  
  NOTE: After loading the BIOS version, older versions of BIOS may not be installed.
