The update of the BIOS on Satellite L40 - 13G

Hello everyone!
I want to update my BIOS, but don't know how to do it. I looked at the instructions on a site:

Option 2: update with CD-ROM

1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
2. in the folder temporary three subfolders will be generated. "docs", 'Update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW"
3. how to make a bootable CD-ROM please read the *.pdf file in the "docs" folder
4. make sure that the laptop is plugged into the sector.
5. turn off the laptop.
6. place the CD-ROM containing the upgrade of the BIOS in the optical disc drive.
7. turn on the laptop with the F12 key.
8. the BIOS boot menu appears. Select CD/DVD or CD-ROM symbol with the arrow keys. Press "enter".
9. the notebook starts from upgrading the BIOS CD.
10. a boot menu is displayed. Select the point of updating the BIOS by using the arrow keys. Press "enter".
11. the BIOS update process begins. Do not turn off the laptop during the update.
12. If the update is complete, follow the instructions on the screen.

Downloaded this update to the bios: bios - 20070904123621.zip
Page with the updated file: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_bios.jsp

Then I unzipped the zip... and don't see three directories, who wrote in the statement (from above).

Help please, I have to do. Or how can I update my BIOS?

Thank you!

Hi Alexey

Can you please tell me why you need BIOS update? As far as I know Satellite L40 is the new laptop of the L series. Maybe a few days and necessary BIOS update. Why?

Have you noticed any problems?

  • Update of the BIOS on Satellite L40 works not

    My L40 PSL 48 is still running the old Bios as Manually (I think it's the version 1.70) I installed XP as it is far superior to the trash nonsense Vista. I read that there is a newer BIOS designed for XP that I downloaded and unpacked. When I try to run the winflash.exe file in Windows, the screen just flashes and nothing else happens. The bios is 1.70. I am doing something stupid.

    Ron

    Try right-clicking on the BIOS file and select "Run As.." and administrator.

    Also, make sure that your virus scanner is not block it.

    Also look in C:\TEMP, perhaps it has been extracted in there.

  • Problems of updating BIOS on Satellite L40 - 15G

    Good afternoon.

    I have Toshiba Satellite L40 - 15G and I want to put 4 GB of ram (2 x 2).
    It works with 3 GB but with 4 GB it just does not start - gives me a blue screen.

    I read on the internet and discovered that I have to update my BIOS (my version curent is 1.60).
    I have vista 32 bit. I also tried to do the update via the site of toshiba, but without success.
    I am running the .exe file, but when I restart the computer I have the same version.

    What should I do?

    In the hope of a response.

    Hello

    I think you are using an incorrect BIOS.
    Satellite L40 - 15 G seems to belong to the series of PSL48E

    Check again!

    Toshiba Europe page provides a BIOS 2, 00-VICTORY for Vista and WIN-5, 50 for Win XP

    Regarding the upgrade of memory:
    I don't know if your laptop would be m supports 4 GB of RAM. Is that there are different models of L40 and some models supports only 2 GB of RAM!

    Your L40 - 15 G seems to use the Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset...
    Check out the details on the Intel page which RAM max can be managed by the Intel GL960 Express Chipset.

  • Satellite L40 - 13G has 667 memory but works at 533

    Satellite L40 - 13G have original built in 2 x 512 667 of memory but memory works only at 533, why is this?

    I flashed the latest 2.20 bios of the Toshiba site.
    I did an upgrade on this model by changing its processor,
    Original image was celeron M 440 and now is core 2 duo T5600,

    The chipset on this model is 945GM and it supports core2 duo processor.

    Now main FSB is 667 for the cpu but memory works only at 533 dual Chanel
    and it's strange because the memory is 667?

    BIOS doesn't have a Setup for memory clock.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hello

    If you have read your question, you will get a response.

    Your machine comes with a Celeron M, which has a FSB of 133 Mhz. This means that the whole machine has been designed (including the BIOS!) to work with that CPU and JUST with this CPU regardless what the chipset is capable of. This means that no matter what CPU and memory you´ve installed in your machine, the FSB will collaborate in the FSB 133 Mhz (533 Mhz), but your Coreduo needs another front bus.
    And because the BIOS is programmed to put the FSB 533 won´t never be able to do your mem running at 667 Mhz. Maybe if you can reprogram your bios.

  • Need drivers of Windows XP Home for Satellite L40 - 13G

    P.S. sorry - but my English is not very well ;-)

    In my opinion, it takes a bit. Toshiba has begun to support of Windows XP Home for new preinstalled Vista laptops but obviously your Satellite L40 is still not on the list. I'm afraid you have to wait his turn.

  • The update of the BIOS on Satellite Pro U400?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 (PSU41E) running Windows 7 x 64 and I try to update the BIOS to version 4.70 to 4.00.

    Whenever I try to do it from Windows using WinPhlash which comes with the download on the Toshiba site it seems to freeze when you try to Flash the new BIOS.
    I connected as the local administrator, tried to use other programs flash and even tried to do from a USB flash drive with no luck.

    Can someone please help me and explain how do I update the BIOS?

    Hello

    > tried to use other flash programs
    Never use other flash programs! In the worst case, you could damage the ROM module and then it must be replaced. Use only the program flash Toshiba that is tested and designed for laptop and the version of the BIOS.

    The update of the BIOS program is also designed for Windows, it s a Windows Update program.

    Satellite Pro U400 wasn t comes with Windows 7 so I guess you did your own installation. Value added package is required for the update of the BIOS program and can be downloaded on the European driver of Toshiba download page where is your laptop model:

  • Impossible to update the BIOS on Satellite A665

    Hello

    I desperately need help with update my BIOS on Satellite A665 that my battery won't charge and the site said to me updated the BIOS, but it is not letting me update battery is less than 10%.

    Please someone help me because I have no way to use the laptop without power still present.

    Hey Buddy,

    Can you charge the battery when the laptop is turned off? Usually battery LED should show you white and orange color to the loading process if the battery is fully charged. And then start the computer and update the BIOS.

  • The update of the BIOS for Satellite Pro M70 does support TPM?

    Hello

    There was an update of the bios that is specially designed for Vista... = bios-vista - 510win.zip on the Toshiba site...

    Although my Satellite Pro M70-113 did not support the default TPM module (BIOS verson 1.1, I always have this), is it possible that this update includes the TPM secure to enable bitlocker on vista?

    Can someone check and confirm please... :)

    And secondly, is configuration BIOS update for Windows utility saves the current state of the BIOS in some external as backup media, while if it happens with the process of update... the previous version can be restored in return?

    And a BIOS may be downgraded?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    (1.) I m not 100% sure but I think the new BIOS for the M70 does not support the TPM secure. I read somewhere that all BIOS versions that support TPM on Toshiba laptops cannot be updated by a common user, but the user must contact the authorized Toshiba service provider for these updates.
    That's why I think that Toshiba would not any BIOPS version by download issue if this BIOS would support the TPM.

    2.) now something about the second question:
    The new BIOS version replaces the old BIOS and BIOS States and to my knowledge it of not possible to save the settings for a backup more later.
    Generally, you must be careful with any update of the BIOS. Bad BIOS or bad update procedure may damage the jury!

  • Problems after updating the BIOS on Satellite Pro P200

    I recently buy a Satellite Pro P200 running Windows Vista Business. Yesterday, I updated the BIOS to the version 1.50 supplied with the machine to 1.80 available on the Toshiba site. I double checked that I was using BIOS correct update for the Pro P200 Satellitel running Vista.

    After updating the BIOS, I have now two problems:

    1. whenever I start and join the office, I get an error message "record of Vista has stopped working". This problem has been identified as toshibavistaregistration.exe here: [link: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=99805]

    2 Control Panel > system now shows the processor and the memory (RAM) as "not available". Execution of the diagnostic PC Toshoba tool and looking at basic information show also no information on the memory (RAM) Although the processor information here. There may be pieces others missing too under the eyes of list shorter than before the update of the BIOS.

    Basically, I want to get everything working again as it should, but cannot find any information on these issues.

    After further review, it appears that the update of the BIOS is not the cause of the problems.

    Immediately after updating the BIOS, I had a major system crash. It turns out that this is what has caused problems.

    After a system restore to a point before the update of the BIOS and the major system crash, now everything is working again with BIOS version 1.8 in place.
