• Tecra 9100 - problem BIOS update/restore

  Hi all:

  A few days ago, I (declining misguidely) tried to update the BIOS on my Tecra 9100. Now on startup I get the message "BIOS (Block1) is damaged! (Call the repairman). Technician: Place the maintenance disk in the drive and press any key when ready "." I tried to restore the BIOS by following the instructions on the web page of the BIOS (traditional method using a USB FDD) driver - put on with the key immediately to the left of the SPACEBAR key leads to the message "ready for the update of the BIOS. Place the BIOS update floppy in the drive and press any key when you are ready to move forward. "The disk is regularly consulted and the laptop will beep every 10 seconds for a period of a few minutes. Then it stops, but should be repeated after any key is pressed. There is however, no change in the information in the form and no result just possible restart in the same error message on the BIOS damaged.

  Anyone can shed some light on what might be happening here? I'm afraid that I maybe should I follow a few instructions on the screen (as the instructions for the update of the BIOS suggest) that I do not see that the screen is not active? So I can't hit the correct answers when required. Should I really the military and its maintenance diskette? Is this disk available anywhere if I can do it myself?

  Any help or suggestions that anyone can give on this subject would be much appreciated - I don't want to go hunting a new motherboard unless it is absolutely necessary.

  Cheers, Chris.

  Hello Chris

  I am not a technician, but according to your assignment, I'm sure that your BIOS chip is damaged. I'm afraid of nothing that you can do everything alone. I recommend you call and explain the situation.

  I'm really skeptical you will find these special tools online.

• Tecra R10 - 10J: BIOS update abandoned "this computer is not supported.

  Hello

  My laptop is a Tecra R10 - 10J PartNumber PTRB1E-00D002FR, 1.40 BIOS version 11/13/2008.

  I recently bought and installed two modules of 4 GB RAM (8 GB). Enter the BIOS setup, I found 8 GB. Windows 7 64 bit also detects the 8 GB, but uses only 3.80! MemTest and diagnosis of CPU - Z are good for all of the 8 GB. I went from RAM modules from one location to another, but nothing has changed. If I replace a module of 4GB by a 2 GB memory, Windows 7 uses 5.80 is going well. Same result as any module of memory of 4 GB or slot I use.

  I suppose that problem comes from the BIOS. The 1.40 version does not support memory mapped IO functionality.

  So I followed the instructions on "http://fr.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/?download_drivers_bios.jsp?" to find the last good package to update BIOS for Tecra R10 - 10J. I downloaded and ran the BIOS310?. exe, but received the error message "this computer is not supported"?

  Can someone tell me how to upgrade my BIOS or did someone has a better idea to activate the full 8 GB of RAM support?

  Thank you for all!

  Hello

  You must install the VAP (value added package) or if this package is already installed, you must reinstall/upgrade to update it.

  Disable the Antivirus software and disable things of security such as firewalls etc.

  Hope that you're lucky...

• Tecra S11 and BIOS update 2.20

  Hello

  I was wondering what is fixed in the new BIOS. Toshiba disclose no information about changes in the updates (why? "It is really a strange thing to do).

  Anyone know what it does? This is the third update already and still nothing.

  Hello

  It seems that these changes to the BIOS information are not available on the European driver Toshiba page.
  I found some details on improvements and updates to the BIOS on the page of the Toshiba U.S. pilot but Tecra S11 is not listed. Maybe because it was broadcast only in the United States.

  You could get in touch with a local ASP in order to obtain some information about the changes in the BIOS. Maybe the guys could provide some information then you could share with us

• Tecra A10 - 12Z BIOS 1.6 wanted to move to 3, but 'not supported' - W7H32

  There are many problems with this Tecra A10.

  As Windows Xp is disabled, I tried Windows 7, which is too awkward, so I wanted to try the eSATA operating systems. Although I could install Lubuntu on eSATA it would not start (no hard drive inside most) to eSATA, but booted from USB.

  Read in the forum and put the Windows 7 Home 32 disk inside again and downloaded the BIOS update only to get a response "not supported".

  The A10 has a Windows Vista professional sticker slot, is the only OS where this Tecra can get BIOS updated?

  We have no records of Windows Vista.

  Installation of Windows 2000 or XP, it's really a lot of time, even for 9 x.

  The last beta demoCD with eComStation, todays OS/2Warp, works fine on the Tecra, it has Windows integrated 3.11, is that not? Windows 3.11 on a SD card installation must be as fast and as possible. If there are drivers available?

  ReactOS (freeWindowsXP) is usually able to boot, but it is still in the alpha stage!

  As for flat BACK? There are the LiveCD with BACK.

  You can also find Vista LiveCD socalled VistaPE CDs on the net, but their origin is unknown.

  What is the best option? Is there only one option?

  Hello

  > Although I could install Lubuntu on eSATA it would not start (no hard drive inside most) to eSATA, but booted from USB
  I guess that the BIOS does not support booting eSATA port but just the USB port.
  But it's just an idea... that should be checked once more in the BIOS settings.
  Maybe a BIOS update would also help.

  > Read in the forum and put the Windows 7 Home 32 disk inside again and downloaded the BIOS update only to get a response "not supported".

  BIOS update may be run from under Windows system only. But the BIOS update also requires some software additional Toshiba which depends on the system.

  In the case of Windows 7 or Vista, the value of added Toshiba package must be installed. In the case of Win XP, you must install the package of common Modules.

  To be honest I don t understand what you want to do
  Tecra A10 is a great unit. I have the successor called Tecra A11. I use Win 7 and its really awesome OS. Much better than the beginning of Win XP

• 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.

• Tecra 8100: bios update of cd. exe does not command line

  I want to update the bios of my Tecra 8100.
  I downloaded the bios, but the pc has no floppy, I cooked up a cd bootable like this

  When I start the pc, F2, press c to boot from the CD-ROM, I get in a dos environment. I went to the drive Z, "dir" and see the bios.exe that I've burned to cd. To run it I type bios.exe and continue to be 'command unrecognized file name' when I type dir *.exe, he does not see the file either.

  Maybe I forget something here?

  Hello

  Your described method does not apply to Toshiba laptops.
  Each computer laptop manufacturers supports various BIOS update procedures

  Toshiba on this page we:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/downloadDetail.jsp?soID=356848&PF=true
  Here you can download the latest version of the BIOS for Tecra 8100

  The 4810.25 package must be unpacked everything first.
  Then you should check the files available.
  There is a readme.txt file that describes how to update BIOS using the ISO to CD.

  I hope I could help

• 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

  Hello

  Have you installed the VAP (value added package)?

  The VAP is necessary in order to run the BIOS update and Toshiba tools.
  I found a son with the same error message, but the user is using Win XP.

  The problem could be solved by the installation of common Modules (only for Win XP).
  But the VAP is released for Vista and Win 7 and common modules are in the VFR package.

• 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 M3 PTM30E - cannot update the BIOS

  Hello

  I can't install my new Bios on the Tecra M3 PTM30E-09X01LEN system.
  The message says: not supported.

  Why?

  I put t he understand.

  Hello

  First of all, I want to ask you why you want to update the BIOS?
  You have some problems with the laptop that could be solved by the BIOS updated?

  Also what BIOS you use and where did you find and download?

  The Tecra M3 PTM30E seems to be a European model and the BIOS must be placed on the European driver Toshiba page.

  I checked the page and there are two versions of the BIOS;
  BIOS 1.20 - WIN-FBCF is only for the models with filter virtual control of Angle (FBCF)
  The BIOS 1.50 - WIN is for models WITHOUT filter the virtual control of Angle (FBCF)

  Seems that you used the wrong BIOS!

• Tecra S3: BIOS update for Vista

  I have a laptop Tecra S3 and I tried to install vista but it says I have to update my BIOS. Well, I already have the latest version (v1.3) and no vista support.

  Any help is appreciated
  Thank you

  Hello eddie

  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.

  Also, my Satellite M70 is not Vista capable, but I'm really lucky and have preinstalled Vista on the second partition.

• Re: Unable to run P0056v200.exe (BIOS update) on Tecra S5 with Vista Ultimate

  When I run the utility of the P0056v200.exe of Windows bios update I get the message "Toshiba BIOS package Ver.3.2.8: this computer is not supported."
  I have found no 'traditional' for the Tecra S5 update procedure.
  Anyone have any idea how can I update my bios?

  TIA
  though

  BIOS update is for the 32 - bit version, and it will not work under 64-bit operating system. What you can do? Use recovery media and install the 32-bit version, do BIOS update and install the 64-bit version again. A lot of work but I don't see any other solution.

• Tecra 8000 does not start after the BIOS update

  From one day to the other does not start my Tecra 8000 (400 MHz/256 MB BIOS 9.30 for years). After start-up, the disc starts to turn, but the screen including the backlight remains completely black, without red logo TOSHIBA BIOS is not accessible.

  I got a new mainboard on stock, so I replaced it, and it worked. Unfortunately now my WLAN card now did not work properly. I tried several settings of the BIOS with no results, so I decided to do an update of the BIOS from 7.50 to 9: 30. After the upgrade, I get the message "ROM WRITE successful, utility completed. LEADER BIOS: Tecra8000 v 9,30 ". Because what either kept silent, I pressed the power button to restart and heard a long and many short beeps (endless). I could interrupt what pressing the powerbutton for 5s.

  After turning on again I have the same problem as described in the first line :-( I can't get into the BIOS, but I can again update (with pressed F12). Once again these beeps.

  What to do with these beeps after average BIOS update? I replaced the MoBo connector LED with pension. Processor, memory, keyboard and HD has remained the same. So, before I start disassembling the machine, please notify, your help is very appreciated.

  Hello Joachim

  I'm not a technician and don t know what the beeps but I am afraid that the BIOS chip is damaged. Because of this, the unit is completely dead. Sorry, but I really don t believe you can do anything. Maybe the new motherboard again :(
