The BIOS update procedure

On the recommendation of someone on these boards, I downloaded the latest bios for my Switch 10.  The only thing on the page d/l is the bios itself, and a warning that it may screw up your computer.  That being said, you would think there would be detailed instructions, but no.

So I did the cat of Acer and contacted the Quickee Mart Apu (at least, I think that was his name).  I should have asked for a slurpee, because he was no help at all.  He said 'just' to run the configuration file in the bios (which is actually an .exe file).

Can someone point me to get detailed instructions on how to update the bios?  If I brick this thing, I'm still within the return period, but I would like to avoid rather than.  Thank you.

Unzip the file.

the Switch10 is connected to the AC charger and run the P0JAC_BIOS_V1.06_A4.exe/BIOS/Win folder.

nothing else, wait that it terminates the process without touching the keyboard, the touchpad or buttons.

    Hello

    Unfortunately buddy; There are not a lot to do.
    It seems that the BIOS update procedure has failed because of the failure and the module ROM was flashed properly.
    I hope that the motherboard isn't too bad.

    In your case it s is strongly recommended to contact the local ASP.

  • Satellite A100 does not start after the BIOS update

    Hello

    I downloaded the update to the bios toshiba A100 PSAA8 on the toshiba site and applied using the procedure of updating the bios from windows XP MSE. Restart after the start of the update stopped at the toshiba start screen.

    At startup the screen by pressing ESC watch text mode. The message indicated it confirms the update of the bios version. POST messages are:

    _________________________
    Genuine Intel CPU
    No TPM or TPM has problem
    1015 M system RAM passed

    Press to enter in SETUP
    _________________________

    Pressing F2 just clears the last message in line and then no change is found.

    The laptop comes with windows XP media center edition. I don't know why the TPM secure is enabled. It is possible that toshiba is available with the module of TPM enabled in bios updates that logbook. If this is the case, they must clearly identified as 'not applicable' upgrade for machines that are not relevant.

    I found similar messages around the forum without convincing answer.

    Is it possible to fix this without sending? Even if it turns out to be affordable, it make much sense to pay for the problems caused by toshiba.

    Hello

    Please don t blame someone for you mistakes ;)
    As far as I know that only a few sets of laptops come with TPM.
    If you want to do an update of the BIOS on the models at TPM, you will need to contact the ASP!

    Looks like you used a bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure.

    The Toshiba page a BISO update the documentation that describes how to upgrade the BIOS on each series laptop!
    You will find on the page of the Toshiba driver compatible BIOS and information over a large number of details!

    > Is it possible to fix this without sending
    Don t think so, and therefore, you will need to contact the Asp help!

    Good luck

  • Satellite L300-1 has 3 - after the BIOS update, I get a BSOD

    I have a Satellite L300 1A 3 MODEL PSLB8E. I decided to update the version of the BIOS, thinking that he can resolve my issue of ethernet controller.

    But after the update, my laptop goes on infinite blue screen of death. How can I recover from this injury?

    Can someone please help.

    Hello

    Did you choose the good BIOS update for your model? Was it for Satellite L300 PSLB8E?

    What code you get BSOD?

    After the BIOS update you must always load the default settings. Maybe a bad BIOS setting is causing this BSOD.

  • Can't do the BIOS update for Portégé R500 (PPR50E)

    I have a Portege R500 PPR50E with Vista Business pre-installed model. I am wanting to move to Windows 7 and so initially I want to update the BIOS of 1.5 to 1.6. I got the correct file from Toshiba (bios-20080325071859 containing P0058v160.exe), but when I try to run the application, it fails with "this computer is not supported.
    I checked several times that I downloaded the file for the R500.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    That s strange.
    Did you change something on you installed Vista?

    In different cases, the BIOS cannot be updated because some essential tools such as the common modules for Win XP has not been installed.
    If you are using vista you don't need common modules but I recommend reinstalling the VAP.
    Then you should try to rerun the update of the BIOS.

    Otherwise use the recovery disk and computer laptop back to factory settings.
    After the laptop has been set to the same State as on the first day of purchase, you can run the BIOS update.

    There is no lights & there is no noise from the laptop at all.

    Can any ideas on how I fix?

    Hello

    Well, if the BIOS update crashed you can do anything because the ROM module needs to be reflashed. This is possible only with special tools and only an authorized service provider has such tools.

    Then please contact the nearest service Toshiba and ask for help :)

  • 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?

    Hello

    Seems the CPU and GPU don t run full implementation after the BIOS update.
    Any performance CPU/GPU leads to lower the heat dissipation and this means that the cooling module does not need to execute quickly and very often.

    Check to see if you can change an option is the BIOS.
    You can also try to update a graphics driver and could control Windows 7 power management.
    Power management settings 7 victory could affect CPU and GPU performance to save battery power and reduce the heat dissipation.

  • Satellite A500 - it gets stuck one second after the BIOS update

    I knew I shouldn't update BIOS unless I have problems. A message came Toshiba Bulletin Board and I was stupid enough to trust him and I have updated my BIOS. The update has been successful, my computer seems to work very well.

    Except, now when I try to watch a movie, I downloaded every 10 seconds or if it gets stuck for a second and then plays normally and it happens when I play music on itunes. Because I didn't have this problem before, I'm not accusing the update. Is there a way I can go back or how can I return to normal?

    Oh God, what have I done? :(

    Hello

    I use my Satellite C660 - 1 7 for a year now, and recently I have a Wi - Fi connection problem with my laptop. I can find the network in my laptop, but it loses the connection permanently. It's a little boring.
